The 10 worse beers as decided by DU - which is the worst

[LynneSin]

I went thru that Worst Beer ever thread (over 200 replies) and I found that these were the 10 beers mentioned the most as the Worst Beer ever.

Only voting on those beers listed which is the absolutely worst beer as decided by DUers. Pleases try to make your judgement based on beers you've actually tasted.

[Ikonoklast]

1. Impossible to do.

That list is a Universe Of Suckitude from which nothing good, decent, or happy can ever emanate.

I vote, "Yes".

[LynneSin]

3. I know but these were the top 10 picked from that other thread I started

So we just want to focus on these 10 and pick which one is the worst!

[Ikonoklast]

5. It's like asking me which of my children I love the best.

I love them all, for different reasons, but love them just the same.


I fucking despise every "beer" on that list, each for a different reason, but to me, they are all swill unfit for human consumption.

I stand by my vote.

So there, you big meany.

[Throd]

2. Over-hopped over-priced craft beers.

[NightWatcher]

8. do not worry, I'll drink those for you

the Hoppier the better, but 12$ for a 6 pack is pushing it

[T_i_B]

22. That's if I don't drink all the IPA first!

Well, as long as it's not Greene King IPA, a beer that's an abomination on so many levels.

[mysuzuki2]

32. I dislike hoppy beers. I much prefer the maltier sweeter beers like New Glarus Spotted Cow.

I may not agree with what you drink, but I will defend to the death your right to drink it.

[kwassa]

19. I love hops!!!!!!! impossible to overhop.

[geardaddy]

33. Same here.

I can't get enough hops.

[SteveG]

4. It was a tough choice

Normally I would have chosen Bud as the worst, but since Schaeffer's was included, I had to go with that as the worst beer on the list. I can finish a bottle of bud, but if the option is Schaeffer's, I'll not drink at all.

[geardaddy]

6. Other.

Miller High Life = Piss in a bottle.

[Odin2005]

20. Yup. Even worse than Budpisser.

[HarveyDarkey]

7. They're all pretty awful

Hard to choose. I've reviewed 375 beers(so far) on You Tube, and haven't done any of those.

[Kaleva]

9. Pass. I've drank many different brands and they are all bad.

[KamaAina]

10. What is "Olympic Beer"? Does the pull tab have five rings?

I think you mean "Olympia".

[Populist_Prole]

11. Not inclusive enough, but I will say this:

Miller 'Lite" or Michelob Ultra is no doubt the worst. Too bland and watery. Many of the other non-light beers on your list at least taste like beer but with varying tastes or styles, even if they are cheaply made ( and taste it )

[Mosby]

12. lone star is a truly horrible beer

When I was young there was a beer made in downtown phx called A1, it cost 99 cents per six pack and it was just awful.

My current faves are mirror pond, stranger and dig by new belgium (now out of season).

[NoPasaran]

13. Buckhorn

Twelve ounces of death in an aluminum can.

[WCGreen]

15. That stuff is crap but it was .99 a six pack when I was in college...

So... Yea.....

[geardaddy]

35. My dad used to buy that.

He drank cheap beer.

Kingsbury was his other cheap beer.

[JonLP24]

14. Seriously?

Far more votes for Budweiser over Pabst Blue Ribbon?

Y'all must be drunk.

[WCGreen]

17. If I remember, PBR was good...

But it has been over 28 years since I had a real beer....

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

26. Funny thing happened to American beers in the early- to mid-seventies

They started screwing with their recipes (likely as a cost-containment strategy) and they really effed up some beers like PBR and Schlitz. They were fabulous (IMHO) to begin with, but they really went into the toilet after that. Schlitz tried to relaunch the brand as a retro-thing with the original recipe a few years back. Not sure what kind of success they're having.

PBR is having something of a renaissance I'm told (again, those wacky retro-hipsters).

[Tunkamerica]

43. for the last ten years (i typed beers first) it's cheap at clubs. a 24 is 3 bucks at my spot.

[LynneSin]

16. Here's a fun review of Iron City...

Sam: I'm composing this as I try valiantly--or foolishly--to finish the second bottle of Iron City. Say it with me: ARNFUCKIN'CITY!! We drank this gleefully when we were dumbass college kids, even though it tasted horrid back then as well, because it was $1.99 a six pack. Well, I saw this on the shelf this afternoon, and remembering dimly there was some discussion about the "new" aluminum bottle, I shelled out $6.99 for a sixer (much to my embarrassment). I drank the first one from the bottle. Oof. Just as acrid and chemical as I remember. This beer is best choked down ice-the-hell cold, if at all. Without warning her ahead of time, I offered my long-suffering wife a sip. She immediately wrinkled her nose, then I swear she tried to run away from the flavor. She chugged the rest of her bottled water, then called me several nasty names I can't repeat on such a family-friendly website. She threatened not to let me in the house with the rest of the six-pack, but I plied her with a Real Ale Full Moon Rye Pale Ale, and she relented. I'm staring at the remainder of the second beer, glaring back at me a malevolent shade of jaundice in my beer glass, and I'm telling you friends, I'm pretty sure I'm pouring it out. The aluminum bottle touts how it'll keep it colder and crisper; well...colder maybe, but there's nothing "crisp" about this beer. It's somewhat appalling. And please don't tell anyone what I payed for this travesty. (9/24/2005)

[Dash87]

18. Tie between Budweiser and Natty Ice

[T_i_B]

21. Voted for Carling

Due to it being the one I've had to endure the most.

It's been a long long time since I last had Coor's, but I have no desire to reaquaint myself.

[PopeOxycontinI]

23. Coors

Bud pretty bad, too.

[HopeHoops]

24. The worst is Schlitz (Shits)

[JesterCS]

25. the only beer I ever could tolerate was Red Stripe. Jamaican import

[LynneSin]

27. Come on folks - we already had the thread of 'Worse Beer Ever'

These were the 10 beers that got the most comments for being worst beer ever so please keep the discussion to only these 10 beers. We are attempting find out what, DUers in general, feel is the worst crap they ever drank called beer.

[EastTennesseeDem]

28. This list is flawed.

There are no IPAs.

[LynneSin]

29. The list is not flawed. A few IPAs were mentioned

But no brand had enough votes to top those that made the top 10.

Are you questioning the refined palattes of your fellow DU posters?

[T_i_B]

46. If this were a UK website.....

....then I'm sure that Greedy Kerching IPA would have made the list.

Trouble is, Greedy Kerching IPA is not actually an IPA. It's a rubbish bitter.

[LynneSin]

47. I know but we're just a bunch of yankee liberals drinking beer

[T_i_B]

48. Nowt wrong with that

Just wish Dogfish Head still exported to UK.

[RoccoR5955]

30. I would have to vote for Miller

Because it comes in a clear bottle, and is most susceptible to skunking. AFAIK, all of the others are in cans or brown bottles, and therefore light cannot enter, and make the hops flavor turn into skunk.

Though I cannot say that I like any of these beers, most are American Light Lagers. These are the hardest beers to make, for the simple fact that they have less inherent flavor. If something goes wrong in brewing, there's a flavor that does not belong in this type of beer. For that reason alone, I have to hand it to many of these brewers, especially Budweiser, because they can consistently make a beer with no flavor taste the same. In Bud's case, they can make ginormous quantities of beer, in many breweries world wide, and they all taste the same. This is a quite remarkable achievement. I don't have to like it, to realize this.

[canuckledragger]

31. As a proud Canadian..

I tend to avoid most american beers if i can..

I've come to the opinion that most of the 'big name' beers don't take any real care or pride in the making of any more (yes, that includes our most famous export, Molsen Canadian...horrid stuff!)

Most have jiggered their recipes to make them as cheap as possible, too many chemicals, etc. (I remember hearing somewhere that Molsen even changed the Canadian recipe to use rice now as a cost saving maneuver)

I WILL highly recommend Alexander Keith's India Pale Ale though...made straight outta Nova Scotia.

Lovely stuff...full flavoured, no back taste (or headache after 1 or 2 like you get from the really cheap ones)

I have no sympathy for what what happened to the commercial spokesperson for them (he got caught with & posting child porn)

but the commercials were still funny as hell!

[mysuzuki2]

34. The large brand American beers are almost all truly awful

But there are many truly wonderful beers made in the US. Unfortunately, many are distributed only locally or regionally. Here in Wisconsin we have Sprecher, New Glarus, Lakefront and several others. All make very good beer. It is too bad if you don't see them up north.

[Yavapai]

36. Tecate beer from Mexico is the worse I have ever tasted,

but, my best friend thinks it is the best. Don't know if it is sold anywhere else but in border states, but you see it everywhere here in the southwest.

[Son of Gob]

44. It's nationwide and you're right, it's not good.

[Broderick]

37. I try to drink a corona now and then

and even ice cold it's drat to me.

[One_Life_To_Give]

38. Marci Hopkins?

Now how can I dis that.

Now how about Duke, Red White and Blue or the generic "BEER".
When you need to bring your own strainer.

[OneTenthofOnePercent]

39. How is Natural Light, Natural Ice, or beast (Milwalkie's Best) not on that list !!!

I'm voting for PBR instead. I've never had it... but I know a bunch of douchebags who say it's good... so that's enough reason for me.

[rDigital]

41. Natural Light is the all time worst, followed by Beast. nt

[Broken_Hero]

40. Of those listed, Budweiser, nt

[Tunkamerica]

42. Magnum 40's.

[Paladin]

45. I'll Take A Can Of Bud Over 95% Of "Craft " Beers.

I find that the great majority of boutique brews are as overrated as they are overpriced......
