+1 on breckenridge vanilla porter.
+1 on SA triple bock. I bought it because a beer rating book I had listed it as his 2nd or 3rd favorite (still got the book).
+1 on ice beer, although my all time least fav is Keystone Ice.
+1 on cherry/berry anything.
But my official vote would be for Black Label. Its cheap for a reason.
 
Sam Adams Cherry Wheat. [shudders]

+2 on that. That sh!t is so nasty... when I first tried that I felt like a third grader who had a bad cough and my mom is like here, this cough syrup will make you feel better and I'm like, Hell no, I'd rather die of the whooping cough than drink this vile concoction! Never again.
 
All of the good ones are already here...


Cave Creek Chili Beer was pretty bad.
High Gravity Hurricane Lager was gross.
Cherry Wheat made me shudder with memories of Robitussin.
But, Triple Bock tops my list of crap beer.
 
I was going to say natty light, but somebody had to bring up sa cherry wheat...I try to purge that god awful stuff from my memory.

The first bottle I had I was pretty tanked, and it tasted fantastic. Like cherries. I told the one guy I work with that drinks good beer and he asked me if I was f'n crazy. So I went home and tried another bottle and had to quickly recant my statement.

I gave the other 4 bottles to one of my buddies. He liked it. But he also likes the taste of natty....
 
I used to be able to drink swill. I mean, Bud Ice after it had been left in the trunk for 8 hours on a 100 degree day. (no ice of course) Keystone ice was mentioned, which I actually think has so little flavor as to not offend that bad.

The only beer I've not been able to finish was old mud's best which had been, again, left out in the heat but then put back on ice. As far as *good* beers which just didn't appeal to me, it'd have to be many overdone "scotch ale" type beers that simply overpower. I'll easily take one well made, but I've ran into more than one that were just not worth it.
 
Dogfish Head ************* (their imperial pilsner's old name). Horridly sickly-sweet without hop flavor. You can't/shouldn't "imperialize" something whose prime attribute is clean drinkability!
 
Lazy Mutt - purchased an 8 pack and there were 8 hafl full beers at the end of the night!

Agreed. That stuff is garbage. Someone gave me a 7 pack. I passed on a 6 pack to someone else (though it would have been 6 and a half if I could have figured out a way) who in turn couldn't stand the stuff.
 
+1 on SA Cherry Wheat
+1 on SA Cranberry Lambic

Another is Abita Strawberry.

And don't talk bad about Nattie Light, that stuff got half of us through college. I actually have a sixer of it in my fridge right now along with my homebrews. Sometimes we all need a sweet sip of nostalgia.
 
One of the only craft beers that I have tried that I couldn't finish was Magic Hat #9
 
Wow, I don't mind #9 at all. However I did have one bad glass, but that was on amateur night, errr St Patty's Day, when the bartender took a hot glass out of the dishwasher and poured the draft directly into the glass. The glass was so hot I couldn't hold it.

I'm not a fan of smoked beers, but I do get a taste for some of those soury lambic beers from time to time. I love to see the look on peoples faces when I describe the open fermentation tanks!
 
Funny enough, SWMBO hates SA Cherry Wheat but LOVES SA Cranberry Lambic...I dunno if I can brew a Lambic yet, but SWMBO likes sour stuff.

If you lived closer, I have three bottles that you could gladly have. I can't bring myself to throw them away.
 
Budweiser Chelada.

It's Budweiser + tomato juice + CLAM JUICE. ????

since I'm a Husker fan, EVERYONE seems to love that stuff up in Nebraska....just because it's red beer.

I personally hate cider beers. Pretty much any and all. Particularly Woodchuck. I just don't think beer should be sweet.
Other than that, I've had some pretty skunky beers, but since I've started home brewing I've learned the reason that makes them skunky...so I don't hold the brewer responsible.

I did have an asian beer once that I really didn't like. I can't remember for sure what it was....but I think it might have been Sapporo or Tiger
 
Dogfish Head ************* (their imperial pilsner's old name). Horridly sickly-sweet without hop flavor. You can't/shouldn't "imperialize" something whose prime attribute is clean drinkability!

I can imagine it's bad just from the name of it....lol
 
I have a friend who refers to keystone ice as red burning cancer....
I can think of 2 bad craft brews.
Out here in the southwest green chile beer is really popular for some reason; I really don't like beer that burns my mouth.
I was in Dublin last summer and their famous microbrew place, The Porter House had a licorice beer called oyster beer? Ugggg I had to work to finish that, and then wash it down with a pint each of the rest of their incredibly good beers.
 
I asked the wife to pick up a sixer from corner store.

"Surprise me", I says.

Never again! She brings home Michelobe Ultra Pomegranate Rasberry.

WTF? Says I. I tried it of course as I had yet to find a beer I couldn't at least tolerate (of course I have never tried the chill or clamato, etc...).

Wow. Just Wow. Atificial Rasberry flavor thckly coated by an artificial sweetener all packaged in 90 volumes of fizz. I'd swear a fly landed on the lip and left cursing at me for having such a horrible thing in the house.

I guess there are lots who like that stuff tho'. It manages to keep it's shelf space.

And while a sixpack of Cranberry Lambic is not something on my wants list, it's not something I would pour out. I wouldn't call it a Lambic but, it works enough for me to enjoy a bottle.
 
Cave Creek Chili Beer tops my list. I don't even want to be in the same room with that ka-ka, and I know nobody that actually likes it. I've met people who will drink it, just to be tough or silly, but I know nobody that actually likes it.

The Triple Bock is a very, very close second. However, I will still taste about a tablespoon of the stuff each year or so to see if it's any better. My world will feel no loss, tough, when it's all gone.

I cannot stand the Cherry Wheat or Cranberry Lambic, but that's my taste. Too many people like it to call it the worst ever.

I LOVE smoke beers, so long as they are made by somebody who knows what they are doing. I've had some that became medicinal, and that's no good. I do not mind heavy smoke, though.

I have to 'fess up and say that I like the Bud Chelada. Micheladas are fairly popular around here, and I've wrapped up more than one night by mixing beer and tomato juice, with a squeeze of lime and couple dashes of What's-this-here sauce. It also works the next morning. It really is more of a cocktail than a beer, though. I wouldn't call a michelada a beer anymore than I would call a shandy a beer.
