Woot’s Worst Beer Styles

December 18, 2008 By Jay Brooks

If you’re not familiar with Woot!, you should be. It stands for “One Day, One Deal,” which is essentially what it is. There’s a Woot! website and each day they offer one item for sale, usually at a very reduced price. They usually only have a limited number of the item, so when it’s gone, it’s really gone. If you don’t get there early you’re just out of luck. They often do sell out, and sometimes depending on the item very early in the day. I’ve only bought a few things there, as the variety is pretty wide, though you will see more high-tech gadgets than probably anything else. There’s also two companion sites that sell a new t-shirt every day and a wine, too.

The also have a blog, on which they recently posted a list of 11 Failed Beer Styles:

  1. Gruel Stout
  2. Twice-Baked Lager
  3. Turbo-Pilsner
  4. Steam Beer That Is Still Really Hot
  5. Stale Ale
  6. Dry-Humped APA
  7. Luxembourg Gray
  8. Lambicarbonate of Soda
  9. Insect Pale Ale
  10. Bud Light With Brown Food Coloring Irish Stout
  11. Hefvergnügen

I’m not sure they’d all qualify as “styles” per se, but it’s still a fairly funny list. What would you add to it?

    You may laugh, but I saw in the store yesterday a beer labeled “Sam Adams Imperial Pilsner.”
