Salve.
Ho un testo sulle birre e sulla loro produzione.
Trovo: "It’s absolutely fantastic. Every Year there’s new hops. For years all there was were Fuggles and Goldings and stuff I wouldn’t touch with a barge pole. Most British hops… I’m just not a big fan. Our climate is not hot enough to get the right oils in the hops; you get these more muted flavours that are great for old-fashioned English bitters.”
Grazie a tutti

roba che non avrei bevuto neanche con una pistola puntata alla tempia
visto che parliamo di birre
il barge pole è la LUNGA pertica con cui si sospinge una chiatta, quindi "touch with a barge pole" = tenersi a distanza

non avrei usate neanche morto/sotto tortura
Come già spiegato da altri, I wouldn't touch with a barge pole è una frase idiomatica.
Però qui parliamo di varietà di luppolo (Fuggles, Goldings) usate nella produzione di birra ed il tipo - che usa linguaggio piuttosto informale, sta 'schifando' queste varietà. Per cui suggerisco questa frase

roba che al solo pensiero rabbrividisco/mi si rivolta lo stomaco

: "Mi si rivolta lo stomaco" rende bene l'idea, si ricollega alle birre e alla sensazione che si vuole esprimere solitamente con questa espressione, la nausea, il disgusto, il voltastomaco.
