Stroh's is bad!!! But, when you were underage, and low on money, nothing beat the old Stroh's thirty pack!!!!

('course ya paid for it in the morning after it RAN its course...if you know what I mean!!)

Sorry guys, any Amercian Beer. Tastes like water.

This from a dumb Canadian chick who used to think as a teenager Boone's Farm Wine was the best wine on earth! LOL

The worse beer I have had in Canada, don't know where it is from - Rickers Red. Served on tap in many bars in my city. I like the bitterness of Molson Canadian but most of my friends prefer Labatts Blue.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this horrific trying time.

I agree with the Corona being pretty bad.But Miller High Life tastes like garlic.It was good when I was a poor teenager though.
I like Budweiser,but I am trying to watch my calorie intake so I have switched to Miller Lite,which is pretty good so far.

Coors light is an insult to the name beer. By the way, Corona is the biggest seller in Mexico. It is sold in quarts, and bottles throughout the interior of Mexico. However, the U.S. versions of all Mexican beers are different except for Negra Modelo which is classified as an ale.

Worst beer ever (maybe I'm showing my age here) was a pre-generic generic type beer simply called Red White & Blue. I don't know if it was available nationally, but we used to get it in in Boston area.

I fully agree COORS LIGHTS has such a water base to it why bother. I myself prefer a Harp or a Killians Red!

Being from PA we drink Iron City more out of tradition than for taste. I have to admit it can be pretty rough to take. Maybe my tastes are not refined enough but I never liked Samual Adams, plus it costs to much. Most people around here prefer Yuengling Lager and I have to agree it is a great beer. Don't know if it is distrubuted out of state though.

Aside from the usual and obvious (coors, swillweiser, corona, etc) the beer that stayed unopened the longest in my basement was Samuel Adams' Cranberry Lambic. yeuggh!
I cringe when I find these in their holiday pack.
In a similar vein, I once had clam chowder ice cream. yeughhh!!

It has been my experience that any Canadian Beer is better than any American Beer! Sorry guys! Living in a border city, I have tried plenty of both. Busch beer??? What were ya thinkin?

One time I left a batch in the primary fermenter for two weeks but bottled it anyways. Took one sip and poured all 50 bottles of it down the drain.

Any beer can be ruined. Local bar like to keep beer "on ice" but the heehaws let it get warm each night only to pour ice on it again in the morning - yuck. Let a beer freeze then unthaw it and try to drink - yuck. Pull beer from back of pickup truck where it sat in the sun all day and toss back into cooler - wrong!

Just plain alcohol abuse.

My dad, USN (Ret) use to bring me generic beer from the small stores. What we liked about it was the white cans with just a black label "BEER". Otherwise, it was horrible stuff.

If I remember well from my tour of their factory Yuengling makes 5 beers. I liked most of them but Lord Chesterfields Ale was NASTY!!! Good thing my Dad liked it. Some of the green bottle beers get ripe also.

I haven't had alot of different brands of beer but I can say one of the worst was BECKS-It smelled and tasted like skunk. Nothing worse then skunky beer. Liked Little Kings in the small bottles but haven't had it in years-can't find it here in NC.

TEQUIZA is the worst ever, hands down! I love tequila and I love beer, but this oily, limey, flat beer is nauseating!)2nd worst is probably a tie with Obi (Korean) and '33 (Vietnamese ba-moui-ba), and Tiger (Phillipines), with, '33 probably a close winner depending on how many partial empties were used to make a full one by the local merchants down in the 'ville!

The worst I have ever drank I bought at some discount store and the name on the can was (BEER).
Crazy Man

The WORST must be Lone Star. I'm not sure if it ever made it out of Texas, Glad I did.

Some beer enthusiasts might think I am crazy, but the nastiest beer ever to go into me was Sam Adams Triple Bock. This beer was $17 for about 8 ounces (I love strange craftbrewed beers). I was sadly dissapointed!!

My DH shared a bottle of "Nude Beer" with me once. His grandfather had bought it for him on his 21st birthday. You could scratch the top off the chick on the label and see what was underneath. Hilarious cheesy gimmick but the beer was "instant headache in a bottle". I think it was Hecho en Mexico.
Also despise "Red, White, and Blue". Not the worst but the most overrated beer? Miller Lite. Miller with water added, yuck.

A buddy from Cleveland suggested we get some Blatz Beer one night....that stuff makes Milwakees Best taste like a premium beer....ugh

let's see- mickey's (technically a malt liquor)
gennesee cream
Old Mildew
Stroh's ( went to one of the three colleges in the same county as the brewery- no, it didn't improve with freshness)

I've had the Sam adam's Triple Blech- used it in place of soy sauce in several recipes- could not see drinking it.

the only people to do a decent chocolate stout were Bison Brewing in Berkeley, CA- and Brooklyn Brewery.

I am, by habit, not a beer drinker- but since I have a friend that lives within staggering distance of the brewery- I have to admit that the Brooklyn Blanche is a favorite of mine...

Kroger Sooper Cost Cutter. So bad we used to buy it by the case for target paractice. Purely a mercy killin.

Bud,any lite beer and any beer that has a fruit in its name.

Pabst Blue Ribbon

Carling Black Label

Michelobe

How about 'Schlitz'??????? That is def. the worst beer IMHO ;)

Iron City...LOL

Milwaukees Best!! ..what...horse piss? God that stuff is nasty. I should know...I drank alot of that crap camping. Oh my goodness what a hangover that gives ya. Finally quit when I got one of them 30 packs and it tasted like SOAP! I swear they forgot to rinse out the vats. Hey, I said a few bad words as a kid...I KNOW what soap tastes like! Worse part about it...one year I forgot to buy beer and it was Christmas night. Low and behold ...6 cans of that crap in the produce bin of the outside garage fridge! O holy night! Yeah...I drank it....soapy taste and all.

I'm more mature now...really.

Duane

I would agree with the Pabst Blue Ribbon... back in college we would joke about the Pabst Blue Ribbon beer farts... and how it seemed like your flatulance smelled worse after a six pack of Pabst... :)

We recently purchased a Sam Adams holiday pack that included a cranberry flavored beer. It was so bad, that not even the 'I'll drink anything if it's free' members of the family could finish it. Really nasty stuff.

The ole' ball and chain put a 6 pack of Thirsty Dog ale in the fridge for "you know who"(!). He wouldn't drink it himself. I'd rather drink malt vinegar than that bottled dog piss again.

Yes that cranberry sam adams is probably the worst I have ever had also. So bad the dogs didn't even like it and they love beer. I think sam adams came up w/ the holiday pack as a way to unload this mistake.

Anything in a can!!!!

I was drinking a Corona and my Father-in-law said "You know dogs piss in that beer"? I said "Do you know where I can get one of those dogs"? All the stuff you hear about Corona is bull poop. Corona Extra is great beer. And I do love the lime.

My new favorite is Samual Adams Pale Ale.

Worst: I'll drinkem' but: Coors, Bud & Miller. Sorry but if it gets worse than this I'll quit drinking beer

This thread is so funny I have revisited it several times over the years. When I was younger I drank Miller Genuine Draft in bottles. But what's the point? If you want a draft you go to a bar, or buy a keg. The worst I ever had was A & P WEO beer, sold in NY A & P grocery stores in the mid '70s for 60 cents a quart (Bud etc. was 75 cents). These days it's Coors Light for me; not because I like the taste but because it now takes me 48 hours or more to get over a good load.

I just found this site and was reminded of a horrible 30 year old memory. I was in the Navy, living off base, very poor and had no money for beer. I discovered Red, White and Blue beer (made by Pabst) and it was actually affordable. I got it home, took one sip and threw the rest of the six pack away. I've tasted a lot of beer in my life and never threw a whole six pack away before or since that one.

Someone else above mentioned BEER Beer And yes Pilsner was run out of Alberta and pushed over to saskatchewan and I think the Rat patrol are paid to keep both Pilsner and rats from entering the province again (coincidence?- I think not..) As a youth I remember once a few of us trying a case of Guiness goodness - yes it was as bad as the name sounds...
Kokanee was great when I was you ng but it went to $#1# after Labatts bought out the brewery... What I do miss is Spring Bock... it used to only be available every spring (we joked that it was when they cleaned out the vats as it was a fairly thick bodied beer) but it disapeared fromth e face of the earth in the Early 90's :-(

"The absolute worst beer in the western hemisphere MUST be Corona."

But, they make the best parade floats:

The only thing I don't like about pumpkin beer is that you can't get it all year long!

Anyone that doesn't like pumpken beer probably likes those Bud products sold as beer, but which has no real resemblence to beer whatsoever!

Lots of bad beers out there, but if you have to put a wedge of lime in a bottle to make a beer taste acceptable, then it is not a good beer in the first place - Corona, just bad...

The worst beer I ever had was when I visited Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic. It is called El Preidente. The taste was not horrible but I had the most terrible headache I ever had after drinking a couple. When I returned home, I spoke to my father who vacationed there years before I did and he told me he had the same reaction after drinking only one. It has been about 15 years since I had one and I do not plan to try any. It is also ironic that a small local grocery store sells them at a price for 2 for $1.00 ! Even at that price, I am not tempted to give it another try. I'll stick to my Abita beer.

The worst ever is Durango it is like$2.99 a 12 pack. One chug will make you spew!!!!!

The worse beers are the low grade malt liquors and cheaper canned beers found in most grocery stores . Also light beers are really just malt beverages designed for people who don't really like beer .

I would like to clear up the confusion on Corona .

It is one of the highest quality commercial beers available . It is brewed with all malt and Noble hops imported from Europe such as Saaz , Hallertau or Tettnang .

It is the most popular beer in Mexico and the recipe was brought by German settlers in northern Mexico .

Most American beers are much lower quality and use garbage additives such as rice and corn syrup to cut cost and create a lighter watery color . These adjuncts are illegal in Bavaria and cause strong hangovers .

The bright yellow color of Corona is because they don't add the headache ingredients .

Most large breweries blend 20 different cheaper hops to create a consistent low grade flavor .

Cheap malt liquors and other American beers will use scrap byproducts such as apples or potatoes instead of malted barley to cut costs .

Little Mickey's.

Thirsty dog.

what? the pumpkin beer by blue moon is great! the worst beer for me is something called "mad blue" or "blue dogs" something like that. it was blue. but it was labeled as a true beer. it tasted HORRIBLE. like a messed up sugary wine cooler

Michelob Ultra Pomegranate Raspberry....yuck

ANY beer.
I like my drink soft or harder then most beers.
Just never found one I liked, but I stopped looking 20 years ago.Never got a hang over from ice tea & had as much fun as anyone. Remembered everything the next day too.
I see nothing wrong with you enjoying beer, it just not for me.

Sure is an old thread that I ran into, but have to put my two cents in.

My husband and I are into the craft beer craze and have tasted hundreds of beers. Personally I hate anything that has a smoked flavor and anything that has been aged in rum barrels.

I read that some of you don't like the pumpkin beer. That flavor has come a long way in the past few years. May want to try one again. Keep in mind its considered a dessert beer, not one to guzzle while on the lawn mower.

With craft breweries popping up in record numbers, would love to see a forum for brewing beer.

Just my two cents!

Worst beer, fithout question, Carling from the UK. Bland does not cover it.

Rogue Voodoo Doughnut Bacon Maple Brown Ale is the worst beer I've ever had. It's just dreadful.
