What's the WORST beer you've ever tasted?

[T_i_B]

I could name plenty of crap lagers such as Fosters and Coors but the absoute worst beer I have ever tasted is Ridley's Rumpus, which is a beer local to where I live. Not only does the stuff taste just utterly rank wherever you drink it but it really does not agree with my system. I honestly cannot bring myself to drink one pint of the stuff.

http://www.ridleys.co.uk/frameset.htm

And it takes something to be worse than the likes of Rolling Rock!

[Van Helsing]

1. Budweiser and Corona.

:puke:

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

4. 2nd that vote for Corona

[Warpy]

6. Some off brand from Hong Kong

...whose name has blissfully escaped me. Worse carbonated cat pee than even Coors.

[stopbush]

17. Yep, you got 'em in the 1-2 spots...and you're right!

Others:

3. Pabst
4. St Pauli Girl
5. Miller lite
6. Coors

[Kali]

39. point of comparison

corona = coors

budwieser = tecate

worst beers: miesterbrau, old milwaukee, hamms in a can, miller in a can, there are plenty (mostly american)- they get sold in 18, 24 and 30-some packs

[-..__...]

118. Guinness Stout.

Like drinking used motor oil.

[jakefrep]

124. I'll second that on the Guinness...

..so thick, you pour it onto a plate and eat it with a knife and fork.

[Demonaut]

139. Guinness is a great beer, best when a tad warm

[AntiCoup2K4]

151. Blasphemer!

:beer:

[Guaranteed]

134. Corona, definitely. Can NOT believe that beer is so popular.

Frickin' water.

[RoadRunner]

171. Amen on the Corona!

The thing is that there are some wonderful Mexican beers on the market, but you're right, Corona ain't one of them. :puke:

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

2. Hey!! I like Rolling Rock!!!

[T_i_B]

11. I know quite a few lager drinkers

and even they virtually all loathe Rolling Rock!

Most Lager drinkers I know go for Stella Artois though, and I can't stand that stuff!

[jmowreader]

81. I drank Rolling Rock all through BNCOC

When you went to the NCO Academy at Fort Devens, you lived three in a room with a refrigerator. I kept three things in my refrigerator at all times: Gulden's mustard, Oscar Mayer hard salami, and Rolling Rock. (I kept the veggies, bread, etc., in cans on top of the refrigerator.)

Every morning we had a room inspection and every fucking morning the first sergeant would count the Rolling Rocks to make sure the number was lower than the day before. He was a Rolling Rock fan too--and he was an intelligence analyst who knew the value of beer to the intelligence community.

There were about six of us who drank Rolling Rock, and he inventoried everyone else's beer. It wasn't just me.

Strangely enough, he never checked the beer inventory of anyone who didn't drink Rolling Rock. Everybody needs a hobby.

[flowomo]

3. Nastygansett

hands down! New England brew... name Narragansett.... I'm thinking back to the 50s and 60s now.... don't even know if it's still around.... official beer of the Red Sox then! Awful.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

114. It was around in the '80s too: a fixture of a Masshole teenagehood

:puke:

[Kathy in Cambridge]

115. DUPE

[terrya]

5. "Milwaukee's Best". No, it isn't. Ultra cheap beer.

With the taste to match.

[Redneck Socialist]

22. At five bucks a case

taste really isn't most important factor. :P

[Dan-W]

148. Ah, Milwaukee's Best Ice.

The Ice does not taste as bad as the regular or light. 5.9% alcohol;
$5.79 per 12 pack. No deposit, no return in NH.

I think of it as my own personal rotgut beer!

Samuel Adams' Light is the most recent beer I've tried which I thought was CRAP.

-Dw

[Qutzupalotl]

7. Heineken.

For the life of me, I can't figure out why anyone likes it.
:shrug:

[Donkeyboy75]

97. I know what you are talking about.

Gives me the :hurts:

[bigwillq]

108. I love Heineken.

It's the only beer I drink.

[bigwillq]

109. I hate Red Dog.

Had a bad experience. Drank too much and puked off it. Still think it tastes bad.

[Loonman]

8. Milwaukee's Best

Not even brewed there.

Keystone is pretty rank, too.

[HereSince1628]

120. As a Wisconsin kindofsewer of great BEERS I'd say Blatz

is the worst.

But Jacob's Best is high on the list.
All marketers of the watery lite products are SHALL WE JUST SAY DILUTED?

[jobycom]

9. Aside from Coors/Bud/etc, there was this beer at a brewpub in Taos

It was green chile beer, and it was warm.

Thanks for making me relive the horror.

[T_i_B]

43. That reminds me of spice beers

That is, beers breweed with cinnamon. They tend to be a tad overpowering on that front, quite strong and not for the faint hearted! I've had a couple of spice beers like that. One from Belgium, one from another brewery local to me.

[Canuckistanian]

10. Pabst Blue Ribbon

It was all we could get here in Ontario during the Great Beer Strike of '84.
Counseling helped, but I still have nightmares.

[betty_booop]

26. awww....come on

the pabst is great! and its cheap as hell

[Canuckistanian]

35. Cheap.... is not what I'm looking for

[betty_booop]

41. we college students

don't have much money :)

[AlecBGreen]

110. hell yeah I love PBR

I get the Peeber Fever all the time! Its a great "late-night" beer. Goes down nice and easy

[DarkPhenyx]

12. Berliner Hefeweisse.

Tasted like rubbing alcohol. Yuck!

[Canuckistanian]

45. Yes, I had that. Very strange. Like really fizzy beer with vinegar in it

[DarkPhenyx]

86. I like Weisse and Hefe usually.

This stuff was just crap though. Drank it in the Officers Club in Berlin.

[Kellanved]

104. Probably wasn't a good one

Most people prefer it with fruit syrup in it - it has to be a very good brew to be potable without syrup or juice.
Anyway, it isn't a "Hefeweizen", but "Weisse". Both brewing styles use wheat, but aren't identical otherwise.

:hi:

IMHO is Weisse the best beer for hot days, bar none.

[DarkPhenyx]

107. Hey Kellan.

Yes, you are right of course. *bowing to your superior memory* I blame it on too much beer of any variety. :)

[T_i_B]

137. I love Weisse beers!

Lovely stuff!

[freetobegay]

13. Corona!

eom

[tigereye]

34. I like the idea of Corona

better than the reality. :)

Rolling Rock is really good, really cold, on a really hot day.

Genessee was pretty bad. Miller, ugh. Old Milwaukee in cans! Oh how horrifying. But cheap back when I didn't know any better.

[lpbk2713]

14. San Miguel beer when I was in Spain.

I never drank piss before but that is what I would imagine it would taste like.

[swag]

15. Coors is the worst

[EarlG]

16. Tennent's Super

Gaack!

[billbuckhead]

27. PabstBlueRibbon.

but MGD, Corona and Budweiser are close.

[betty_booop]

77. nothing like a 9% abv

i was in europe last year and tennet's super was defiantly a culprit in making me forget where my apartment was on many a night...but rolling rock would get my vote as the worst beer...bleh...

[hatrack]

18. Jax - some swill produced in the back alleys of New Orleans

Since first encountering this biological specimen preservative back in the early 1980s, I've been unable to find it again - thank God.

It had a weakish malted taste which betrayed some connection to barley in its distant past, but whatever hints of natural flavor it contained were well-hidden by a distinctively ferocious bite somewhere between formaldahyde and ethylene glycol.

Farewell, Jax Beer, and good riddance!!

[Beware the Beast Man]

19. Pete's Summer Brew

Tasted like a cross between Budweiser & Lemon pledge...worst microbrew I ever had.

[the Kelly Gang]

20. Budweiser / Singha /San Miguel

lets face it..the best beers are Aussie /German and Dutch

[THUNDER HANDS]

21. Budweiser or Coors

Corona and Heinikan are cool.

[Hand]

23. Yellow can generic...

No kidding. It was just a yellow can labelled "BEER". It wasn't horrible, it JUST DIDN'T TASTE LIKE ANYTHING.

[Syrinx]

24. something called Hamm's

yuck

[mmm]

37. Hamm's is nasty stuff. Also, Schlitz and Strohs.

Those beers give me a headache.

[Loonman]

25. Koch's Golden Anniversary

$11.19 per case.

[Beware the Beast Man]

28. Golden Anny!!!!

Totally forgot about that garbage. Thanks!

[Caution]

74. Holy crap! This stuff is more expensive now?

When I was out at UMass Amherst it was $6/case + deposit. We used to buy two cases of golden anny and a case of Stroh's (at $8.50/case) to wash out the taste of the GA.

[tridim]

29. Corona, Mickey's, Little Kings

and almost every domestic mass produced beer.

But Corona is the absolute worst, it tastes like pee.

[Amaya]

90. What exactly does pee taste like?

Never had it myself... Hey, I like Corona :P

[tridim]

117. It tastes like Corona

:)

For the record, I don't drink pee or Corona.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

30. Schlitz

but I think all mass produced American beers suck ass big time.
Bud, Mich, Coors...every last one of them.

[Guaranteed]

135. Hee hee I used to drink Schlitz...

back in high school...

You're right. Horrible beer.

[CPschem]

31. Miller High Life

High life my arse!

[Zorra]

70. I second that.

[Beware the Beast Man]

32. Of course, I forgot Iron City

The only thing I don't miss about living in the 'Burgh...
Pittsburgh DUers...do you pump an 'arn???

[Frederic Bastiat]

33. Budweiser + Anything in a green bottle

i.e Grolsch, Becks, Heineken and all those Dutch/Danish beers

[Parrcrow]

36. Labatt's 50

god awful skunk piss.

[NewHampster]

38. Corona is for people who don't like beer

But its not quite as bad as Rolling Rock.

man I hate that crap.

[Dead_Parrot]

40. "Newcastle Exhibition Ale"

The last pint I had for 99p (in a pub). Utter piss.

[non sociopath skin]

147. You must have hit a bad bar, Parrot...

.. well-kept "Ex" tastes fine, at least as far as keg beers go.

Long time since it was 99p, though. Paid twice that for my pint last night.

The Skin

[fudge stripe cookays]

42. Schaefer. Ptooey!

But Rolling Rock "ranks" right up there.

[kmla]

44. Either Rhinelander. Or Buckhorn.

It it tells you anything, Buckhorn is Pabst's NON-premium brand....

Never trust a beer that costs 3.99 per case...

[Whitacre D_WI]

59. Rhinelander RULES!

It's the taste of Wisconsin's Northwoods!

Of course, I don't so much like what it does to me the next day....

[Jeff in Cincinnati]

83. Don't you BLASPHEME here...

I've hallucinated more than once on Rhinelander, and Point, and Mickey's, and Huber, and can I get an "amen" for Bohemian Club?

[yellowcanine]

46. Coors Lite, Bud Lite

Might as well drink rat piss.

[alvis]

47. Michelob Amber Boch

[IronLionZion]

48. Genesee

A friend said it best: "midget piss in a rain barrel"

[markus]

49. Bad Beer v. Beer Your Don't Like

They are not the same thing. I think of myself as a beer snob, but I keep the rocks nice and cold in the garage fridge for after yardwork (or maybe during, depending on my proximity to things like chainsaws or even weedwackers).

Yes, beer with a rice component tastes different, but it's a great way to make a "light" tasting beer.

Coors Extra Gold is also a decent, every day grab-a-can-of beer, but its hard to get (at least where I am. The distributor just doesn't carry it).

I agree with the prior poster that Jax may have been one of the worst beers ever brewed. Worse even than 1970s/80s generic yellow BEER, which I used to buy in college. (It did go well with generic yellow CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES, and I still enjoy a lighter beer and a cookie every now and then).

I think most "bad beer" comments (aside from spoiled beer) comes from acquired tastes and things that dont' fit one's preconception of what beer should taste like. Beer can taste like just about anything you put in it, and if you can find it on the shelf more than a few trips in a row, then somebody probably thinks it tastes OK.

The only real exception is the stuff that runs under $15 a case. Think of Strohs, for example and go down from there, passing along the way Hamms, Old Milwaukee, etc. (I used to drink OM in my teens becuase, hey, you got two extra ounces in every can! But I wasn't very discering yet).

[T_i_B]

54. Rice? No Way

Rice is a cheap way of making beer and that is why it is used by many big brewers. Better to get a beer made with decent ingredients which actually has some flavour to it. Even light summery beers taste miles better without rice.

[Luvpurp]

50. Black Label

Red, White and Blue is a close 2nd

[rogerashton]

51. Italian local beer

thought Shiner's is a close second.

[AlecBGreen]

112. Shiner Bock

ROCKS

[ihaveaquestion]

52. Budwiser by a long shot!

[mouse7]

53. Red, White, and Blue

I don't know if it's still around, but in the 70's it was the cheaper alternative to Pabst Blue Ribbon from the Pabst breweries. I think they had a deal with medical labs to bottle urine specimens after the labs were through with testing. So it was not just pisswater, but stale pisswater mixed with lab testing solutions.

[PAMod]

156. I have a Red, White & Blue story for you.

My father's best friend passed away about 15 years ago. He was quite a character and loved Red, White & Blue beer. If Big Ed came over to the house to watch football or whatever, he would bring along his own supply of RWB. God-awful stuff.

Anyway, the day he passed away, my dad called to tell me about it and later that evening I wandered over to my hang-out bar, which bragged about their unequalled selection of beers - beers from every contintent, etc. etc.

I ordered up a can of RWB in memory of Big Ed - and to my complete shock, they had it! It's the last time I ever drank it or saw it anywhere.

[NoPasaran]

55. Buckhorn

I think it's now banned under the Geneva Convention.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

56. OLD ENGLISH 800!!!

Though that's technically malt liquor

[JVS]

63. OE is not as bad as some others. Try Laser malt liquor

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

64. Actually I think Crazy Horse is the worst in this catergory

Yuck

[JVS]

65. See 62

I've never had crazy horse, but I would have a tough time believing it is worse than Carling

[jakefrep]

125. I saw a sign at an RTA stop in Cleveland...

"OE's the name, 8-ball's the game!"

OE 800 was the official beverage of our dorm-room Blaxploitation Film Festival.

[gold_bug]

143. I second that.

That's some nasty stuff. Blah.

[VOX]

161. Agreed, but it's a means to an end...

And the end comes quickly with OE800.
:toast:

[Commendatori]

57. Brown Derby

It tastes like Guinness from the urinal. Honorable mentions to Milwaukee's Best and Red White & Blue.

[Misunderestimator]

58. Michelob Ultra Light

.... blech.... I'd rather have a few extra carbs/calories thank you very much. Guinness Stout is one of the least caloric non-lite beers there is. Love the stuff.

[Kellanved]

60. Otter Creek Copper Ale

Yuck, that was when I gave up on the available American beers and went Canadian.

[regularguy]

61. Narraganset or Red-White-and-Blue.

.

[JVS]

62. Carling Black Label 10% alc by volume malt liquor

Fortunately you cannot get this in the USA. When I was in Montreal I bought a 40 of this because it cost the same as a 40 of Labatt Blue and had almost twice the kick. It was terrible.

On edit: I'd also like to nominate some of the micro-brewers out there who think that hops are some kind of magical ingredient that it is always better to add more and more of. Don't get me wrong, I like a good bitter pilsner, I can even enjoy a Jever pils occasionally. But beer that tastes like aspirin is not cool.

[T_i_B]

138. We have LOTS of Carling in Britain

and boy does it suck!

[Sandpiper]

66. Busch Light

Hands down the worst excuse for beer ever brewed.

[Shananigans]

67. Blatz....

hands down the most disgusting thing I have ever drank.

[KFC]

68. Peroni

Italian dog piss

[Jeff in Cincinnati]

84. Why do they bother?

Italians much such nice wines; why can't they just let the Germans make the beer and be happy?

[Fenris]

69. Completely rank Coors Banquet Beer that was several years old

My brother and I were at my grandmothers a few years back, and this was after my grandfather had been dead for a while. We found his secret stash of booze in his closet, and there was nary a good beer among the lot. We took a Coors "Banquet Beer" and shoved it into the fridge along with a Shlitz. It was the worst thing I have ever tasted. The Schlitz was better.

[devilgrrl]

71. Hamm's, Budweiser, Miller, Busch, Genny Cream, Milwaukee's Best, Matt's

All crap! :puke:

[lapislzi]

72. aaahhggghhh! Genny Cream!

Brings me back to my undergrad days in Binghamton. That stuff tastes just like corn.

[MissMillie]

73. Heffenreffer

aka Green Death

[tsakshaug]

146. yes but...

After two could you solve the word puzzle on the cap?

[thedude]

75. The absolute worst beer of all time is.......

Wisconsin Club!!!!!

When I was in college, we could get three cases for $10. $10 divided by 72 bottles is about 13 cents a bottle. Now that is some truly bad beer.

Honorable mentions go to:
1) Stag
2) Reinlander
3) Big Jug Beer
4) Red, White, and Blue

BTW, this is one of the best DU topics, ever.

[Bryan]

79. Newcastle Brown Ale

I had it once, and that was enough. It was a struggle to finish the bottle. Bitter, flat and almost salty. Even if I happened to get a bad batch, I wouldn't buy from a brewery that let stuff that bad get out the door.

Also of note:

Heineken-Don't get me wrong, it's okay if it's the only beer available, but-to put it bluntly-it reminds me of the piquant aftertaste of my own vomit.

Lost Lake-this may be a regional brand. Apparently manufactured by having somebody whisper "beer" over a tank of fetid water. College favorite. A 12-pack is about six bucks (good thing, too, because you'll need to buy a few of them to get any sort of buzz).

[HalfManHalfBiscuit]

85. I concur

I had it in Newcastle, so I don't think I got a bad batch. Nasty stuff. Makes Old Milwaukee taste like nectar.

[AlecBGreen]

113. BLASPHEMY

next to Guinness Newcastle is my fav. Ice cold...MMM...Im getting thirsty just thinking about it

[Redneck Socialist]

160. Ignore them

philistines all. Pass me a Newcastle would ya?

[LTR]

123. Rhinelander!!!!!

Gee, thanks a lot! Now the taste came back.

:puke:

[T_i_B]

169. Why thank you!

I am honoured to have this thread considered in that catagory! :-)

[Mrs. Venation]

76. Billy Beer

It was produced for a brief period of time when Jimmy Carter was President. It was awful.

[Nile]

141. Billy Beer here also.

Was nasty stuff.

[MrsMatt]

78. Fox Deluxe

when I was in college in the mid 1980's we got a case of returnables and it was so nasty we couldn't drink it. And that's saying a lot for college students!

[soothsayer]

80. tecate n/t

[Zero Division]

82. An Italian beer

It was advertised as "a light, refreshing summer beer"...I guess some people might find a beer that's more watered-down than a Miller-Lite "refreshing". But for me beer-flavored water = :puke:

And I can't believe someone said Newcastle Brown Ale was the worst beer they've ever had. That was the first dark beer I ever grew to love. However, I will admit that it's infinitely better on tap than in a bottle.

[Taverner]

87. Corona

Blitz Weinhard is better than that swill. Actually, Blitz Weinhard was pretty good...5 bucks a case in college...

[DS1]

88. Coors Light

[SarahB]

89. Keystone

:puke:

[TrogL]

91. Pretty much anything American

It's supposed to have alcohol in it. Lots of alcohol.

[supernova]

92. Iron City - local to Pittsburgh, PA

:puke:

That stuff tastes like yeast-flavored piss. (So I hear. ;-) )

[kodi]

119. the duce of beers. tastes like weasel spit strained thru dirty cobwebs

the only way to get it down is to cool to the point where the iron filings drop to the bottom of the bottle, then decant & strain it thru a napkin.

when in school, i used to keep a case of it around so i could offer it to those who i wanted to leave my house. one sip of iron city and they were on their way.

once i bet a guy he could not drink an entire 6 pack. after 2 iron city beers he just gave up. easiest money i ever made.

[bif]

93. Any Bud product. They all suck.

[Westegg]

94. My roomate and I, freshman year...

...Decided to brew our own. Hell, it was HIS idea. I want to be on the record with that. Anyway (we were at Cornell), we went down to an Ithaca shop that sold home-brewing equipment. We bought all of it. Long story short: Three months later, the beer was done. We'd fermented it in our fucking closet, right? I'm sure my dirty socks added to the "spicey" nose of the brew. Oh, we drank it. Don't doubt that. We drank every goddamn drop of that swill. But it basically tasted like Guiness mixed with prune juice and Drano.

I ain't tried home-brewing since.

Oh, and as to my standards? I'm a bloke what loves Iron City . And Iron City Light.

[supernova]

96. LMAO!!

Dirty-Laundry Flavored Beer?!?

I think you take the yucky beer prize for today, Westegg! :D

Oh, and you can keep IC, I'm never going anywhere near it again.

[Donkeyboy75]

95. Miller Lite,

hands down, no contest. I also hate Schlitz, and those are the only two beers I can't drink. Funny thing is, I really love the High Life, and I'm not too big on American beers.

Speaking of London, I was there about six months ago. Some older gentlemen I met in a pub turned me on to "bitter." Really good stuff, lots of taste. Not sure where it came from though, so it was a bit scary.

On edit: Goebel and Berger beers are pretty damned bad.

[AlienGirl]

116. What's Goebel beer? Does it taste like propaganda?

The worst beer ever is Coor's Light. :puke: Bad beer, bad politics.

I have actually developed a taste for Corona since moving in with the Bunch. Jag looooves Corona, second only to Hofbrauhaus Hefeweitzen, which he wishes came in a half-the-alcohol formulation so it'd be as mild as Corona.

But Coors--ugh. I will never touch that crap again.

Tucker

[PAMod]

157. Heh, Goebels - cool bottle, terrible beer. eom

[noonwitch]

162. Goebels comes in bottles? I thought it only came in kegs.

At least that's how people generally bought it when I was in college. I hate all beer, I like pinot grigio.

[PAMod]

166. It used to come in a "old world" style bottle

with the locking top. My brother's f-i-l was a Goebels fanatic years ago. Could never figure that out - he made a ton of money and drank Goebels & smoked Garcia Vega's.

[Minstrel Boy]

98. Homebrew of a friend.

He and his wife were so proud of it, and they expected me to drink it in front of them.

Just one :beer: then :wow: and :puke:

[supernova]

99. Did it taste like dirty socks?

Ewww..

I watched an episode of "Good Eats" with Alton Brown that was all about home brewing.

Basically, whatever is in the air around the fermenting tub will be in the beer.

[Arger68]

100. Blatz, Pig's Eye, Pfeiffer's, Hauenstein

Lots of pretty bad beers here in MN/WI area. We used to be able to get three cases of Pfeiffer's returnables for $14.50 (mid 80's). Blatz was bad, too, used to get the "Blatz splatz" from it. I'd have to say Pig's Eye was absolutely the worst, though!!

[Dees]

101. Stag and Corona......hold your nose...n/t

[Teddy_Salad]

102. An Australian beer

...called 'West End'. Horrible stuff.
Tastes like they added Kangaroo and Dingo pee to it, with a touch of Wombat poop.
Fosters is a close second, I don't think they add the dingo pee.

[Celeborn Skywalker]

103. natural light

:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

[BlackVelvetElvis]

105. Hatuey - some nasty Cuban beer

My friends and I ordered it on Ocracoke last summer. I took the first sip and nearly spit it out. It tasted like gasoline. Everyone pretty much agreed. Then we ordered some REAL beer and that bottle of Hatuey sat there and no one ever touched it again.
The waitress told us not to order it.

[Cuban_Liberal]

106. Neutral...errr, Natural Light.

:puke:

[MrSlayer]

111. Dos Equis

Horrible Mexican beer.

[LostInAnomie]

121. This will sound like a joke...

but the worst beer that I ever tasted was called Doggy Style Pale Ale. I got it at one of those speciality bars that has 900+ beers.

It seriously tasted like a mix of bile and stomach acid.

[left_wing_literati]

158. Doggy Style is the BEST!

Brewed by Broadway in CO -- great pale ale!

[Burma Jones]

122. Old Milwaukee, PBR and Red, White and Blue

[PurityOfEssence]

126. Sapporo Black

Just ghastly.

[doc03]

127. Old German

[bigbillhaywood]

128. Hamms! Try it, you will be convinced it's the worst.

[LoZoccolo]

129. Milwaukee's Best

And what's funny is I think that Old Milwaukee is better than this supposed best.

[Dan-W]

149. I think they're from different brewers.

Milwaukee's Best is a Miller product. I think Old Milwaukee is a Schlitz product.

[Rar]

130. Old Style Light.

I can handle Beast if I drink it fast enough. Old Style Light is just BAD.

[SmileyBoy]

131. KEYSTONE LIGHT!!!

A friend of mine told me to try it; he had a 6-pack on him. That Keystone Light couldn't travel from my mouth to the sink any faster.

[democracyindanger]

132. Lucky Lager

Washington beer. At the end, it sold for 5 bucks a case. Legend has it that the reason it was so cheap is that after the brewery closed, they had warehouses full of the stuff and took years to sell it off. Noted for its rebus puzzles in the bottle cap, because you had to have something to do while you struggled to down the nastiest beer on the continent.

[BringEmOn]

133. "Oly" Olympia Beer

152. Have to agree, even though it's the "hometown favorite"

Or at least used to be. Even though the beer sucked, it's still kinda sad that the brewery closed down :(

[Mobius]

136. Coors light, or Weissbier which is actually a lager

I believe. Not sure, Dont drink much anymore. Makes me sick now.

[Wapsie B]

140. Schmidt

wins it for me, hands down. Milwaukee's Best is close though.

142. Two- Kirin (Japan) and Panache (France)

Kirin is just bloody awful. It tastes like a beer brewed by people who know sake. I bought it because I collected bottles and the label had a fantastic looking dragon on it. It still does, the stuff has apparently become somewhat mainstream. Must be the novelty factor, it sure as hell aint the brew.

Panache is just weird. I have only seen it once, in a little liquor store where I used to live that specialized in stocking EVERYTHING. It came in these little green bottles and tasted like Sprite with some sort of chemical contaminant. It's as if they couldn't decide whether to make champagne, wine, beer, or paint remover.

145. Kirin?

The pub nearest where I live currently has a "lagers of the world" festival on.......sponsored by Coors!

Needless to say you can imagine the crap that they have brought in as guest beers and Kirin is one of them. Why they bother with that sort of nonsense is beyond me when the pub in question stocks Leffe Blonde anyway!

159. Panache is lemonade with beer

Wouldn't touch that stuff - many French beers taste like lemonade anyway.

For the record: there are excellent French beers, like Pelforth or the ultra-tastefree Kronenbourg.

163. "The Ultra taste free Kronenberg"

Now maybe this is just the CAMRA member in me but I cannot for the life of me work outwhat there is to like about a beer like Kronenberg. No flavour whatsoever. I like a beer with a bit of flavour at least, otherwise I might as well drink tapwater than Kronenburg.

[Kellanved]

170. I agree somewhat

However, compared to the French Lemonade-Brews, like Fischer, Kronenbourg is a step ahead.
I had the opportunity to try the common French beers, IMHO Pelforth (Blonde and brune) is really good, Kronenbourg 1664 is good, Kronenbourg drinkable (tastes like water). Kanter is OK as well, most others are hardly potable.

144. All of it!

Never could stand the stuff.

150. A beer that had been used as an Ash Tray

That was by far the worst beer I had ever tasted. I'm not much of a beer drinker anymore, in fact I can't remember when the last time it was, and not because I drink too often, however, the worse tasting beer I have ever had was one that had been used as an ash tray.

You all know how that happens too.

[PAMod]

153. Hmmm, so little time...

Geez, I'm impressed that so many of us are disenchanted with the mass produced brews. I dislike Bud myself, but obviously millions of others love it.

Many of the regional brews make these lists because they have unique tastes and characteristics.

I live in PA, and we have several breweries scattered all over the state. The worst PA brew that I ever tasted was Ortliebs, which was made in the hard coal region. I'll blame it on the water. Stegmeier, another regional brew was pretty edgy. I never liked Iron City either. There are more bad ones than good ones, Rolling Rock is actually a pretty good one, IMHO. And of course, I love most of the Yuengling products (Black & Tan rocks.)

Also, a lot of asian beers taste funny - OB from Korea, Ching Tao from China. I've been told they put formaldehyde in their beers, but that could have been a gag. Japanese beers like Kirin & Sapporo remind me of American brews. Any character and body is smoothened right out of them.

My dad, who could drink any beer in the world, likes Genessee Light. Go figure. I guess there is no accounting for taste.

[MsSnood]

154. Budweiser. It's bitter, and ..

I always have a headache the next day. So, I never drink it.

I really don't care for beer anyway.

The only European beer I've ever drank is St Pauleys, and I thought it tasted like it had been consumed once before I consumed it again, if you know what I mean. AWFUL! BLECH!

[LuLu550]

155. Bud

:puke:

[madrchsod]

164. alpine------------------

alpine beer last brewed in the early 60`s. brewed in chicago at one of capones old breweries. 1.50 a 12 pack.....god awful...

[tsakshaug]

165. Busch

the beer and the name cause me to have loose bowels

[amazona]

167. michelob ultra

Hands down.

[Ready4Change]

168. "Killer Whale Ale"

Had a picture of an Orca on the label. A friend got it as part of a sampler 6 pack.

Tasted like it was brewed using salt water.

:puke:

Definitely ! :beer:

[Waverley_Hills_Hiker]

172. Sterling was bad, RR is yuky, but EKU Kulminator was really bad.

...way too much alchohol! Nearly undrinkable.

[T_i_B]

173. Kick

:kick:

[Alpharetta]

174. my own homebrew of a stout

I did a batch with WAY too much cascade hops. the beer had a very mulchy aroma.

[iorg]

175. Without a doubt, Coors Dry

There are some so poor you almost start to like them, Hamm's for instance
