What is the worst thing you have ever seen done to beer?

The bubonic plague wiped out 1/3 of Europe's population but the depopulated continent meant that peasants had more bargaining power and this hastened the end of the feudal system. So in spite of nearly destroying civilisation and killing millions in crippling pain the black death had some beneficial effects.

I cannot say this about the cocktail of Guinness and red bull.

This is now pretty much the national drink of Jamaica. There are even songs about it

I am not going to even describe what this tastes like. I think if I had gone up and grave robbed an Indian burial ground I would have caused less desecration.

I dunno. Creating mixed drinks that involve beer is pretty much down to personal taste, a bit like cocktails,. and if people like them, fair enough. After seeing mixes of cola and beer pre-made in Germany of all places, I don't get bothered (not that I like the stuff, but only tried it once). Adding Woodruff to Berliner Weisse, and banana syrup to Weissbier are some other mixtures that have become "normal". I guess the Jamaicans jst like the sweetness of the red bull with the Guinness.

It's the likes of just crap beer in general that I see as being a crime against beer, especially the ones that are so mega-popular that they influence people enough to make them think that this is what beer should taste like! At least with a mixed drink you know you're doing [i:qvu5jw7s]something [/i:qvu5jw7s](potentially bad <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->) to the beer. Then again, maybe mixing coke or red bull with Bud is the best way to drink it <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->

Then again I should say, well some people [i:qvu5jw7s]like [/i:qvu5jw7s]Bud, so fair enough too. Relax, have a homebrew <!-- s;) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt="" title="Wink" /><!-- s;) -->
