We had a coed at college named Brie who was of dubious moral fiber. I am one of a chosen few who cannot confirm or deny bottlebomber's assumption.
Oh yes. I brought some of that to Burning Man, and even when served ice cold in the desert heat, it's bad beer.Simpler Times Lager from Trader Joe's. I think it cost $3/six-pack. Despite my homebrewing tendencies, I have no problem throwing down some cheap beer now and again...but holy crap that beer was terrible. I could barely drink it ice cold and as it warmed up it just got worse and worse and worse. Ugh.
This one right here, Rogue Voodoo Maple Bacon.
Tasted like a porter that they just poured liquid smoke into. Absolutely awful. We were at an Oktoberfest event, and it took three or four more beers to get that taste out of our mouth, along with five or six stiff rinses to get it out of the tasting glass. Awful awful awful

Anyone remember Golden Anniversary? Did I mention that one already?
Wild Blue Blueberry Lager... Made by BMC, and actually tastes worse. Cloyingly sweet and striped of any beer character.
Ugh. I may have to change mine to Granite City's Wag's Wheat ale. I had some yesterday and it tasted like orange juice. I complain and find out that, yes it was indeed orange juice. Apparently, the centralized brewing facility forgot to add the citrus addition to the brew kettle, resulting in no citrus flavor in the beer. GC's corporate office decided that the best possible way to solve this was just to dump in orange juice when pouring the beer from the tap and not bother to inform the customer. I'm done with that place.
Wow. And I get mad enough when they stick an orange slice on the glass rim when serving me a wheat beer.
It's probably a tie for me.
Butternuts Pork Slap Pale Ale--supposedly an English-style ale, but limited hop flavor and a weird savory taste that was off. Really not very good, although I was drinking it out of a can, which may have killed the aroma.
Smuttynose Finest Kind IPA--awful, just awful, like a mouthful of strychnine. I like IPAs and I usually barely notice the intense bitterness if the beer has that lovely bright hop flavor, but this stuff lacks that in spades. Awful heavy metal taste, barely any aroma. Just like miserable, bitter, stale hops. Like sucking the water out of hops after days in a mud puddle. Horrible. And it wasn't just that one bottle; I drink this garbage every time I get a variety pack, and it never gets any better.
However, I have never drain-poured a beer unless it was clearly old and spoiled. I prefer to grin and bear it because, after all, even bad beer is still beer.
I didn't like Pork Slap, but then again I only tried it once. It's possible that it was an old can, or because beers never have a full aroma drunk out of the can. For me, though, it was the savory flavor that put me off. Like chicken soup and molasses. I should probably give it another try, given how many people have told me they love it.
Butternuts has quality control issues. Love never noticed much consistency between different batches of the same beer. Their Moo Thunder ranges between mediocre and a top-three milk stout for me.
