The Most Terrible Beer Ever orrr The Worst Beer Of All Time?

[HOOTER]

Samuel Adams Blackberry Whitbier.

This beer sort of reminded me of Thomas Kemper's Weizenberry, which was a raspberry wheat if I remember correctly. This was one of the "gateway" beers that pulled me out of the darkside that is BMC. I guess my point is that this beer, as peculiar as it is, brought back some fond memories.

 

[webnmar]

Aside from BMC, Wingwalker amber ale is one of the worst I've ever had.

I'll have to throw in a vote for Pete's Strawberry blonde also.

Pete's Strawberry Blonde is good for making beer bread though!!. Good liquid in the dough and it adds just enough of the strawberry flavor to make it almost a dessert bread. Warm and a little butter .... you will find yourself keeping a six-pack in the pantry!

Wild Blue Blueberry Lager - I thought I was drinking juice


Curt

Juice?? I thought I was drinking Dimetap!

Juice would have been ok. I still would have been mad that it tasted nothing like beer, but if it was blueberry "juice"...well, ok. But Wild Blue was vile.

What made me even madder is that AB is sneaky about it and packages it markets it like it is craft beer, and even gets a slot in the craft section at the beer deli, stealing a slot from true craft beer.

I had a beer once called Old Stoney's made somewhere in MD. That was the only beer I can ever recall that I could not choke down, even after drinking something else to deaden the old tastebuds.

I will drink any beer given to me so feel free to PM me and send any unwanted brews my way.

No such thing as a bad beer, just some beers are better than others, eh?

 

[Rick500]

Bad Frog is pretty gross. I don't like Red Stripe either, but I can't say it's the worst ever.

 

[HOOTER]

I won't. I've refused beer on many an occasion. There's quite a few beers out there I won't touch with a ten foot pole. I guess that makes me a beer snob.

 

[JoeMama]

Dude, I thought the SA Cranberry Lambic ranked pretty high up there.
That tasted like play-doh in a bottle. I think Id sooner drink a Dubbel or some other thick ass bock before I picked one of those up again.

[Rick500]

I didn't much care for that cranberry lambic either, but I thought the DIPA in that pack was worse. (I really wanted to like the DIPA too.)

 

[HOOTER]

Here's one deserves some recognition on this thread:

Vile stuff.

 

[orangeandblue302]

Leinenkugel Berry Weiss is pretty terrible. It reminds me of a really awful wine cooler mixed with some Box-O-Wine.......yuckkkkkk

 

[Rick500]

I had some awful Leinenkugel apple thing too... ick.

 

[orangeandblue302]

Sunset Wheat is the only thing that I have actually enjoyed from them.

 

[Rick500]

Yeah, I kind of liked that one too. I had it at a wings & beer place. I was trying to place the flavor, when the waitress said "Fruity Pebbles!" and I'll be darned if she wasn't right.

 

[orangeandblue302]

Yea thats pretty much what everyone says it tastes like but its not bad for 3.00 for a 23 oz. when its on special.

 

[hopoholic]

Pizza beer is awesome!!!!!!!!! I could not drink a case of it but it was an interesting novelty beer and does not belong on this list lol.

Cave Creek Chili Beer

I can't believe you actually tried this. I have drank many of Cave Creek's beers and they are all pretty good, especially like the amber, but just looking at that bottle with that chili in it told me that it was a bad idea. Talked to the brewmaster once and it was just a gimmick, he didn't even really like it. I actually got married at this place, at the time it was named Crazy Ed's Satisfied Frog, which recently changed owners and now is The Silver Spur, Crazy Ed moved the resturant and brew operations to a new location down the street. Don't think the new owners are brewing at the old frontier town location, but maybe the are, have only been once since ownership change and didn't think to order a beer...

As for worst beer I dislike anything aged in bourbon or whiskey barrel, ew why would you ruin beer by adding that nasty flaor to it. Had one RIS which tasted more like watered down whiskey than beer, yuck. Never have had an RIS i really liked.

Skullspliter Scottish Ale is another I don't like to alcoholic phenol taste for me (or maybe i had a bad one).

Same with Westmalle Tripel, way to alcohol tasting for me (but like the dubble from them.)

I would still try either at their brewery, bet it is much different fresh. I like both styles in general so not sure if had a bad bottle or just don't like their take on the style.

 

[zazbnf]

My former worst beer ever is a beer brewed in a 3rd world middle eastern country. Stella brewed in Egypt. However I recently had the displeasure of drinking what has to be the single most godawful steaming pile ever to be fermented.

That would be Rogue's Bacon Maple Ale.

 

[metanoia]

Just like musical styles, I'm pretty okay with virtually every genre of beer. That said, there are hardly any commercial brews that I crack that are less than enjoyable.

Now, Short's Brewery is a Michigan brewery that's pretty popular out here, and I really enjoy the majority of their offering. However, they SUCK at making a good IPA, including their Huma Lupa Licious, The Liberator (IIPA), and ControversiALE ("strong" pale ale). While these brews may be drinkable to super extreme hop-heads who love nothing but bitterness, these ales are extremely lacking balance. I love the delicious aromas and bite of a hoppy beer, but the best IPAs (DFH's 90 Minute comes to mind) balance extreme hoppines with a proper amount of malt; Short's Brewery apparently missed this memo.

Funny overall I think Short's beers suck EXCEPT Huma Lupa Licios Ipa.

 

[metanoia]

Haha, funny how that works.

 

[Ogri]

Haha, funny how that works.

One man's fish is another man's poisson

 

[Revvy]

Haha, funny how that works.

I do agree with your description of good IPA and bad ones. I too like balanced ones, my favorite is two hearted ale. Which is the most balanced IPA I've ever tasted. Very malty AND hoppy at the same time.

And I also agree that short's is NOT balanced at all. I'm a hop head, so I like unbalanced IPAs sometimes as well. But I PREFER more balanced ones.

So I probably simply don't like Short's beers all that much afterall.

Heh, I get it. Good one.

I'm not a big fan of oaked-beers or wood-aged beers in general, although I notice it more dramatically when drinking wine. Innis & Gunn, though... beautiful beer, and lots and lots of people LOVE that beer... I couldn't stand it because it was so over-the-top oakey. It might have been better if the base beer was a little fuller, a little maltier, but it tasted like a really light ale went into the barrels.

 

[ktraver97ss]

Im pretty sure King Cobra 40s are just packaged piss.

 

[Euripidez]

My homebrew friend made a rauchbier. Except with liquid smoke.

I drank it but I didn't enjoy it.

 

[bobot]

Not sure if this is considered blasphemy here, and I LOVE ipa's, but my $10, 12 oz. bottle of Dogfish Head 120 went right down the drain.
Also, Sam Adams cranberry lambic--yuck.

Yeah, that does kind of piss me off.
