I am impervious to most of my homebrew....fermented at appropriate temperatures, limited adjuncts, no hangover.

The sickest that I have ever been off of beer was in high school ( I was really stupid, so I was 21 in high school ;-)) , killians Irish Red.....won't touch the stuff ever again. Not that I would want too.
 
I don't think I have ever gotten "sick" on any beer, but there was a night of cleaning out the old kegs at a pub, 25 cent glasses all night, that made me want to remove my head for a few days. No particular beer (Lab Lite, Bud, Canadain, etc) but it was all the leftovers.

Also, Kokanee will not get me sick, but I will instantly, like the first couple of sips, break out into a huge red rash all over. Must be something in the beer that I am allergic to, this doesn't ever happen to me with any others.
 
Budweiser, anything "Ice", Heineken, Fosters, Moosehead... I could name quite a few more.

To be honest, Bud is BY FAR the worst, for me. I have a headache just thinking about drinking one.
 
Sam Adam's Cherry Wheat.

I actually dig alot of Boston Brewing's offerings, but this and the Cranberry Feaux-Lambic make me want to earl.
 
Miller Light gags me. Badly. It tastes like rotten soggy bread to me.

I know a few people that say Killian's gives the a bad headache/stomach issues, but I've never had that problem.
 
I have a friend who can drink any commercial beer in UK accept Sam Smiths beers - even one pint gives him blinding head aches.
 
Corona. i dont know how anyone drinks that stuff. knots up my stomach.
 
Last time I drank Corona, it gave me a splitting headache after only 2 beers or so. I'm starting to believe that it wasn't just a coincidence...maybe it's the preservatives...
 
Yep, I forgot Paulaner Salvator. However, it's so damned good and if you just sip it slowly it's fine. This is a serious brew for sure...The opposite of a session beer!
 
I would have to go with Busch, and Natty Light. Almost guaranteed that I'd be tasting them twice in one night.
 
New Belgium Fat Tire. This is a strange brew. On some occasions I've had it and thought it was pretty good. At other times I could barely finish the bottle without gagging. It always upsets my stomach, so I'm not sure what the story is with them.

Yes I would have to say of the many brands of beer I have had I liked the Fat tire at first but as I finished the bottle i got a raging headache and it was just very inconsistent when i had another from the same six pack. not impressed.
