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.

To me, it's not an issue of the Cherry Wheat being a fruit beer, which I can't stand but that I know some people love. It just isn't a good example. I've had a cherry beer that didn't taste like cough syrup before, there's no excuse for putting out a product that's that artificial tasting.
 
I have never had a beer I could not finish, save one: Sam Adams Triple Bock. One sip is all that would go. Gave some to a buddy, he almost punched me in the face, he thought is was soy sauce.
 
Abita Purple Haze...that stuff makes me want to yammy.

The bar my friend worked at had two kegs and were only able to sell about half of 1 to the local sorority girls before finally giving up on it. My friend took the half key and the other full keg home and we tried to drink it but couldn't. Only free beer I've not been able to drink.

Turns out only the dog liked it, but then again she used to eat her own ----.
 
I hate Leinekugel's. Yes, all of them.

I think the single worst beer I even had was a Sprecher Barley wine '04. I think it autolysed or something terrible because it tasted of rancid meat. Still finished the bottle though, but it was a battle of the will.

Cherry wheat, Cranberry Lambic, Blu Berry crap, and Triple Bock are also horrid beers. Seriously, those brew masters should be so ashamed...
 
I think alot of these beers are total crap, but one does have to remeber...one man's trash is another man's treasure.

Having said that...you can polish a turd to shine like a diamond, but in the end, you still have a turd! Bottoms up :)
 
I like the SA Cherry Wheat and it's just about the only beer SWMBO will drink. I have a keg of a clone I made in the fridge right now. Is it my favorite beer, no. Will I drink some this weekend, without a doubt. Just don't understand the hate there....let the flaming begin....
 
Pete's strawberry is pretty bad, Left hand seems to make descent stuff though so I would imagine its not "that" bad if you really like smoked beers.

SPARKS is gross, only energy / malt beverage I have ever had. I also hate steel reserve which is all sparks is, steel reserve + redbull.

The only beer I have ever purchased and couldn't force myself to finish was that blue berry crap with the dog on the front. I can't remember the name but AB might make it.

I bought that Blueberry Crap once....once . I love BB brews and thought it was from a Microbrewery....can you say GROSS ASS SWILL!!!! Also a 40 that got too warm. In college if you cracked a 40 you had to finish it. House rules. I am soooo glad those days are over
 
I cannot do SA Cherry Wheat any more either. In my home town there was this bar that had a chess night and SA Cherry Wheat was a $1/bottle for participants.

I was trying to remember the name of this, and I couldn't mostly because I think I blocked it out. It is bad. Reaaaally bad.
 
Cypress Honey Lager by Granville Island Brewing in Vancouver, Canada.

It was a warm spring day, my girlfriend and I were visiting Vancouver for the weekend, we sat in the warm sun, outside at a nice table....gee, Honey Lager sounded refreshing.

Tasted like soda pop, as if they added a spoonful of honey to the glass, poured the beer, and stirred it around. Sugary sweet.

Never again.

Never again.
 
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.

That michelada recipe is missing what makes Bud's Chelada so disgusting, though: clam juice.

CLAM JUICE!!! :eek: I grew up in Maine, so I've seen a few Canadians mix up a Caesar) . It didn't make any sense then, and it doesn't make any sense now.
 
Cherry Wheat is not a bad beer! Are all of you on crack? I can handle 1 or 2 in a night but any more than that and its just too much cherry for me. I don't necessarily sit around eating cherries or anything but I do like them. Artificial flavor? Have you ever had a real cherry plucked fresh from the tree? I notice no difference between the taste.

Worst beer I ever had is Pabst Blue Ribbon. Its foul, awful, hatred in a can. I was wasted, wanted another beer, and all that was left was 5 PBR's that had been in my buddies fridge. I drank half and wanted to puke. I don't puke from drinking anymore.
 
Michelob Ultra is vile
as is Lienekugal Sunset wheat
but I am sure that's not news to any one here
They might be the only two beers that I've had
where I switched to drinking soda after one choking down one beer

Don't besmirch the Bloody Caesar (basically a Bloody Mary with Clamato juice)! But why anyone would wan't clam juice in their beer is beyond me.
 
When I tried the Bud Chelada, I really didn't pick up the Clamata in it. There's probably about as much Clamata in there as hops. It tasted like beer mixed with tomato juice, really.

That said, I also like Clamata, so I might just be warped from the get-go. No surprise there. :D

I love a good really spicy bloody mary and I love a really good well brewed beer but ne'er the twain shall meet in my glass.
 
Delirium Tremons....I'm not sure, I was pretty drunk when I had it and it just didn't sit well with me.

B to the E was pretty nasty as well.

Worst drink ever. A drink concocted by a friend of mine called a 7bervod. 1 part 7up, 2 parts beer, 1 part vodka. Gets you effed up but does not taste good.
 
I hate Leinekugel's. Yes, all of them.

Leiny's Berry Weiss is horrid. Let's mix cool-aid and crappy wheat beer and say it's "craft beer." Just about horked thinking about that stuff.

I don't remember what it was, but somebody gave me a smoked porter once that tasted like maple smoked bacon. That'd rank at the top of my list if not for Berry Weiss.

Thank you! I absolutely hate that crap.



That loud crash you all heard was me trying to jump through the monitor and strangle McGanigle.

Then I realized he was kidding.

:eek:

My all-time favorite beer. Even better than 10.
 
My worst in a long time was a bottle of JW Lees Harvest Ale. It was the most expensive bottle of beer that I've ever dumped down the sink.
 
The only beer I have ever purchased and couldn't force myself to finish was that blue berry crap with the dog on the front. I can't remember the name but AB might make it.

Blue Dog....

Blueberry pancake syrup with a hint of malt in it... I swear I peed blue for two days...
 
I've got another I just thought of, Tequiza...was sooo popular when it came out and it was ****ty! Down right foul! How do some of these breweries put out this crap and people buy it? The masses are asses, who'd have thunk it.
 
Old English Ice 800. Tastes like malt liquor with 2 shots of cheap vodka poured in it.
 
Tennents Lager is pretty bad tastes like skunky St Pauli Girl.
SA Cherry Wheat is lousy....I find an "ashtray" like aftertaste to it.
While the aroma of SA Honey Porter is wonderful, the taste is terrible!
A lot of beers have been bad but these are the ones that stick out the most.
