Any other upstate New York residents that agree?
 
Not sure if anybody said this yet, but Shipyard Pumpkinhead is a vile vile slurry.

Nasty Concoction.

Seadog Blueberry is up there, Sam's cherry wheat too.

Interesting, I've never had their Pumpkinhead but their Smashed Pumpkin was awesome. I had to look it up to make sure it wasn't the same beer because I remember it being really good.

Agreed, Smashed Pumpkin is one of the better pumpkin beers I've had.

smashed is part of the signature series" along with xxxx IPA and Smashed Blueberry Porter. maybe others im not sure. def not the same as pumpkinhead
 
A beer called "Horse Piss" by IIRC Kentucky Brewing Co (EDIT: Make that Bluegrass Brewing Co.). It lived up to its name and I believe perhaps it was brewed as a gag. It was entirely and incredibly bad. One of the worst things I have ever consumed, beer aside.
 
I agree with said,pumkinhead,i thought it was more like a soda-and the worst pumpkin beer ive tried,and ironically i thought smashed was probably the best or one of the best ive been able to try but there was some good ones i wasnt able to try due to unavailability,that i would have liked to try.I just finished up drinking my first all-grain pumpkin i made last spring/summer,pretty good and very good aroma.Not as tastey as the smashed but maybe better in aroma.Maybe not but probably just differnet.

The Porter and the Barleywine are fantastic
 
When my buddies and i were in high school, we discovered my dads "secret stash" of Budweiser in a mini fridge he kept outside by the pool. Since it was an indoor fridge and obviously not designed to operate in outside Arizona summer heat, the fridge had died probably two years (and full 120 degree summers) ago. He forgot the beer was in there so my buddies and i decided to be cool and take them. When we pulled the cans out of the "fridge" they were easily 90 degrees. We both decided screw it, it still has alcohol in it so just shotgun it and call it a day. **sidebar- at this point in my life I was completely unaware that beer could go bad.** we each made it about a second into the shotgun, and immediately both of us threw up everywhere. I don't even think it had hit my stomach yet and my body rejected it. That was the WORST beer I've ever had and i wouldn't wish that on anyone.
 
That is unbelievably vile.

One time somebody served me some type of "cerveza" from Aldi or something. It either had tequila or bacteria-infested Mexican water in it . Made Corona seem like Grand Cru.
 
Anything with weird artificial flavorings in it...pumpkin, fruit, spices, etc. It's all gross. There's an apricot beer from Ithaca which I couldn't finish it was so bad.

This stuff. It comes in a 51oz plastic bottle even in the states. Russian by origin. Actually gagged trying to get down just down just a few sips.

Baltika actually makes some alright stuff. Never had #9 though.
 
The Anchor Steam holiday ale is the nastiest beer I've tasted. It nearly turned me off to seasonal ales for good. Was infused with spruce or something like that, and it tasted absolutely revolting.
 
Really? I didn't think it was stellar, but I didn't think that was terrible, either.

The worst beer I can remember was something called Landshark.

It tasted like a BMC american lager, except awful.


Is landshark Jimmy Buffett beer? I think so and its just like carona in clear bottles.


I dont think Fireman 4 was a horrible beer. Like he said it's not amazing but in my opinion a decent beer
 
Back in the mid-80s I used to have season tickets to the Oakland A's. My seat was front row, directly across from first base. Since I worked the graveyard shift, I could make all the night games during the week and at least the second game of a Saturday double-header. I now forget who the game was against (maybe NY) but a Tuesday game that started at 5:00PM went into extra innings. Eight extra innings. The game didn't end until around 1:00 in the morning. About 11:00 one of the beer hawkers came over and sat next to me, carrying his beer cooler on his chest. He was trying to give me a beer (or two) free. Since this wasn't a scheduled double-header, they hadn't bothered to order in extra beer. The only beer left in the stadium was two cases of Schlitz, and the vendor couldn't go home until after the game, or he sold out of beer. He was still there when I left at 1:00.
 
Was this just demonstrative of your hatred for Schlitz? Why wouldnt you just take the beers and stuff them in your pockets so the poor buzzard could go home?

Dunno. It looked a lot like Corona, with a clear bottle.

I had it in this little restaurant in Clute while I was there for field work. The food at the restaurant was awesome, but all they had to drink were BMC and Landshark. :(
 
I think I already said Bard's gluten free... not sure...

Also there's a green bottle written in a mystery language at the local craft beer store that tastes like kikoman's soy sauce... really nasty stuff.
 
Blue moon pumpkin, new Belgium's Passion sassion, woodchuck cider, and most of the ridiculous crap dogfish head turns out (like they're show and pioneer spirit though).
