Need names of terrible beers

[vandeg]

Beer30 Light/Ice if you can find it (being that your in MN I bet you could find it since its brewed in WI), its usually around $15 for a 30 pack out the door in MI...

I'm not sure if it would beat Chilada but I bet it would be close...

 

[ReverseApacheMaster]

Malt liquor is beer, so you could find a truly retched cheap malt liquor like Bullseye or Magnum.

 

[bierhaus15]

My top two worst beer experiences were a Leinenkugel berry weiss and SA chocolate bock. Unbelievably bad; fruity pebbles mixed with vomit and coca cola mixed with hersheys syrup.

 

[RIT_Warrior]

Someone mentioned SA Cherry Wheat, but have you guys had the Cranberry Lambic before? While I can't definitively say it is worse than that BL Clamato abomination, it is still a really bad beer.

 

[moti_mo]

I would agree with Revvy and McGarnigle on this one.

The Clamato has got to be the worst beer ever produced, but it depends on whether or not they consider it cheating, since it doesn't even really resemble or taste like beer. So you'll have to get a ruling on that one.

And the Green's Discover Amber gluten free beer is decidedly hideous. My wife got one one day because she was trying to go gluten free for a while. Saying it tasted like paint thinner is being generous.

 

[Probably_Confused]

Thanks for the tips everyone! There are some definite candidates on this list. I think I'll stay away from the mixes (clamato, chelada, etc) for purity's sake, but I still think I can find a winner/loser.

I'll report back with the winner after the meeting

Worst I've ever had was "Lucky Lager" it's brewed in WA state. Not sure if you can find it in your neck of the woods, but if you can...you will win. Truly awful excuse for beer!

100% agree with this one. Sure it will get you there, but the next day is a killer. Don't get too far from the toilet, and carry and extra set of undies.

Hebrew Jewbelation 12. Most horrible beer I have ever bought. Gotta say the DogfishHead World Wide Stout is a runner up though.

 

[tippetsnapper]

Ugh, switched from a cheap case of Piels and tried this once in college, truly disguisting.

Labatt's version of Guinness. It tastes like Labatt 50 with food coloring. YIKES.

Leinenkugel's Summer Shandy... it's the only drain pour I've ever had.

Don't really have anything to contribute, but one of my best friend's SWMBO thinks Summer Shandy is God's gift to beer...

 

[hfmeehanjr]

Anything that says Bud or Light

 

[jds]

...worst tasting commercial beer. ..looking for suggestions ... for truly awful.

A humble suggestion.

 

[cyberwollf]

I saw this and had to try it.... Seaweed beer.....Pretty bad!

[Yukmay]

Definitely a toss up between two beers. Defender's Choice which literally tastes like cat urine and metal; or Mamma Mia! Pizza Beer which tastes exactly how it sounds.

I'd rather not have whole garlic cloves and oregano physically floating in my beer, thank you.

 

[bonzombiekitty]

A humble suggestion.

But it says "fine malt liquor". Surely they wouldn't call it "fine" if it didn't taste good.

The Dissident from Deschutes (a brewer which I like , usually)

Maybe it's just a 'style' thing (flanders sour) but I thought this was really nasty...maybe you could win on style points. I mean, anyone can bring in a sample of bad crap but this place makes other good brews....

Good Luck!

This makes me want to cry. If you have any other bottles of it I'll take them off your hands. IMHO this is an amazing beer.

My nomination for worst beer, if you can find it, is O'hara's Irish Red. At least the batch we used for our BJCP course tasted just like dirt.

 

[Countryham]

I have to agree about the Mickey's. I had a buddy that bought it thinking it was an Irish ale because of the name, then he pours me one and surprises me with it. It was a "fine" example of cold piss after a night of heavy drinking. I have to give a 4th vote to SA cherry wheat, and a 2nd to the cranberry lambic. Kroger here used to sell their "at kroger only" beer called Josef Hoffbauer that was 4.59 a 12 pack.

It probably is a style thing for you, check out the awards that Dissident won.

[tjp68]

A humble suggestion.

This ^^

Widemouth bottle so you can swill it faster.

 

[starrfish]

National Bohemian Beer, "Natty Boh" Back in college it was $4 a case! tasted like dirty soapy dishwater. even in those dark days I couldn't choke that one down...

 

[chapa]

magic hat no. 9

Ugh...agreed!! Although I'm sure some people like it, as it seems to be available on draft at quite a few places. Tastes like a wine cooler beer to me. Yuk! I don't know if you get O'fallon Brewery's stuff out there, but they just came out with a Black Hemp that is pretty bad!! They make some good beer though, their 5 Day IPA is awesome. Their Wheach is pretty bad too, but I'm sure some people dig it.

 

[Indyking]

You asked something impossible... to actually point out the most terrible beer you can buy somewhere and bring it to the club meeting but it cannot be a BMC? Utterly impossible!

In 2010, the 3.2% ABV version of Old English was labeled "The Worst Beer in the World" by RateBeer.com

I've never bought a commercial one, but I gotta say, I've enjoyed some delicious and refreshing shandies on a hot summer day. Best one was at a wedding: 1/2 Sierra Nevada PA, 1/2 Lemonade with muddled mint leaves. Obviously not a beer, but a respectable beer-based drink in its own right.

 

[Bernie Brewer]

Grolsch. Love the bottles, but the beer is hideous.

Also, Red Stripe. I bought some for a Buffett concert years ago, I choked down two at the concert, and the other four sat in the fridge for about two years before I finally dumped them. Blech.

 

[jds]

What beer?

 

[Beernip]

Someone mentioned SA Cherry Wheat, but have you guys had the Cranberry Lambic before? While I can't definitively say it is worse than that BL Clamato abomination, it is still a really bad beer.

I've had both the Cherry Wheat and the Cranberry Lambic. The Cherry Wheat is the only beer I've ever poured down the drain because it was so bad I couldn't drink a whole bottle.

 

[Homebrewtastic]

I was going to say Cherry Wheat, but it looks like I've been beat to the punch.

 

[buckeyebrewer]

I vote Clamato....it tastes like a thousand tiny mexican devils dancing on my tongue.
