Almost any lager, and cali common. Anything else and I am game.
Haven’t had a gueuze that I liked yet but I do like most other sours and lambics.
I can drink lite lager occasionally but I’ll never brew any.
American blonde ales, low-hopped ambers, malt liquor, every American fruit beer I have had
Man Law: “No fruit in beer!”
First thing…what are 1a, 1b, 1c etc?
I really don’t like flowers in my beer. A local brewpub has been making beers with various flowers with the worst being one made with rose petals. I felt like I was drinking perfume.

BJCP style references. 1a, b, and c are light, standard, and premium american lagers respectively.
I used to feel the same as many of you about hefeweizen, until I made one and had it fresh. My immediate impression was that a lot of what I didn’t like about the style was a result from age and poor storage… that said, my hefeweizen has never done well in multiple comps, but I like it anyways. I felt the same about Koelsh (sp?), again until I made one, and it has been a regular brew since (and done well in comps). I will even admit that I watered down a CAP (2C?), and it got a 1st place as a 1C, and I happily drank it. That said, I have not started planning on brewing any 1A or 1B yet.
A lot of the beer I just don’t like has obvious flaws related to age and storage. My local shop sells belgians that are SO DAMN OLD that they barely resemble beer, and when I tell the beer manager they have turned the best they do is mark them down to $3/bottle. That makes really great breweries look bad, because I have had a lot of those beers in great condition. I don’t know why we can take a $20 bottle of wine back to the shop and expect a full refund, but beer is somehow exempt. Most beers I don’t like are a product of poor storage. When I take on the challenge to brew it myself, I am often pleasantly surprised.
No bueno on Belgian styles
Not big on saisons or geuze. Don’t like fruit based American beers. Anything with “light or lite” in it’s name. Most beers made with corn or rice as an ingredient. Green or clear bottled beers. Crappy homebrew (it does happen, thankfully not too much though ;))
wheat beers.
Wheat beers or Hefeweizens are my least favorite. Belgians being my 2nd least favorite.
Not a big fan of SHV beers. I always brew one to enter into comps that I’ll be judging, so as to escape having to drink them. Sound logic? 
Brilliant, Jeff! I’m gonna have to try that!
Are you letting the Alt sit long enough?
3 months lagering is when its best for me.
it would be worth it to just submit ANY beer to that category to not have to judge it. hell, bottle up your spent starter wort.
Bourbon Vanilla Imperial Porter…?
I really do think that sounds gross…I’ve only had one vanilla porter ever and it was Breckenridge Brewing’s vanilla porter at the brewery in 2005. I liked it then, but tried it again a couple years later and YUCK! Same thing happened with Pyramid Apricot Ale.
Thanks!
I assume you have never had mine then :
If I had to pick my least favorite beer style it would have to be the stout family…I like stouts, but not as much as other beer style families ;D
