What is the WORST beer you have ever had?

[Quaffman]

Some Italian beer from trader Joe's. Definitely oxidized and tasted horrible. I took I which an knew it was bad but I tasted it anyway. After 1 sip I dumped it. At least I got a grolsch style bottle out of it.

 

[Clann]

I have never had a good beer from magic hat. I'd rather drink natty ice

 

[passedpawn]

Really? Because elephant piss is better than BMC... And #9 is a bit better than elephant piss...
And I know, I used to work at the circus.

I used to carry water for the elephants. We never drank their piss.

I'll jump on the #9 hater's bandwagon, but I'll agree it's better than bud.

Looks like someone got beaned by autocorrect.

Really? Perhaps you had a skunked bottle or something... Because elephant piss is better than BMC... And #9 is a bit better than elephant piss...
And I know, I used to work at the circus.. It's where Bud gets most of their ingredients...

No not skunked. I kept trying it now and again the last few years. It's just horrible and watery no mouthfeel at all to this brew I had it bottled an kegged a lot of times it's the only micro at places. I have totally given up on it. Couldn't pay me to drink it.

The only Magic Hat beer I've had I could stomach was the vanilla porter. Quite good, actually.

Worst beer: magnum malt liquor after the bottle sat half empty in my car during summer.

 

[Beardedterror]

Wow ,was it the premium lager? Or light?

To be honest, I don't remember. I never bothered to look at the label again after that incident.

 

[hophead44]

Bud ice. I was 22, so in the prime of my no hangover days. The only thing a drank all night. The next day I had the worst hangover, still to this day. It didn't taste good either.

 

[thetragichero]

Magic Hat No 9. F'ing horrible. Would rather drink a case of BMC than drink that swill.

+10000000000000

somebody brought over a 12 pack and left it in our fridge
had to choke it down so i could use the bottles for homebrew
i would've preferred the warm natty ice from a backpack i drank around numerous bonfires in high school

 

[BlueZooBrewing]

I've put it on another similar thread about worst commercial beer. Sixpoint Diesel. Tasted like drinking a cup of Pine Sol. Couldn't finish it and it took three other pints and a couple hours to get the flavor out of my mouth.

Leinenkugel Sunset Wheat (and several others from them) were nearly undrinkable.

Like someone else said, I'd gladly drink down a Bud Light before a Magic Hat #9. To be fair, I didn't know it was a fruit beer, but I poured out four of the six pack I bought, and the majority of the two bottles I opened. I only opened the second one because I was absolutely certain the first one just must have been a bad bottle. Reminded me of cough syrup.

Now, I've had plenty of beers that were "bad" for some reason or another that were worse than that. Oxidized, infected, skunked, etc. However, Magic Hat #9 is the worst beer I've ever had that tasted like it was supposed to.

King Cobra... horrible stuff

I was in Berkeley visiting some friends and since Pyramid was in the area.. (and the lady friend I was visiting suggested it) I picked up a six pack of their apricot hefe. Im not normally a huge fan of fruit beers to begin with but this beer was down right undrinkable.. I only stomached it as to not offend said friend but even she remarked that it wasnt what she remembered. I was going to assume it was just a bad bottle but the whole sixer was miserable. Im guessing the grocery store that I bought it from must have mishandled it or something but either way I probably wont ever being buying that beer again...

 

[Doed]

Thanks for the laugh, these stories are hilarious.

Worst beer for me was this past fall, sorry can't remember the name but it was brewed by a small brewery in the St. Louis area. It was a blueberry beer that tasted like wine at first then finished with a horrible after taste. The SWMBO bought it but I ended up drinking the crap because she hated it.

Speckled Hen - was in a Tilted Kilt and they had it on special. Waitress poured it from a bottle... Took a hefty swig and something was def wrong... One more tentative taste - and called waitress back over. When I lifted the bottle to emphasize my point, there was a definite "thud" of a sizeable something that should NOT have been there sliding from one side of the bottom of the bottle to the other... Three important footnotes: I did manage to not barf, I did not have the courage to check to see what IT was, and dinner was free. I would happily have paid for dinner to have avoided that experience!

Another example sits in my cellar at this very moment. A first attempt at a Cali Common went great right up to the point that I pitched the yeast into too-hot wort. 24 hours later, I knew that one was dead. My salvage attempt involved re-pitching the only yeast I had on hand: a dry wine yeast. I can only assume that I attenuated the crap out of the batch - there could not have been two molecules of sugar left in the batch. It's been dubbed my ESRB - extra "sucky" really bitter.

Cheers!

 

[MaltnHops]

Delirium Tremens. I've tried it a couple of times and really wanted it to be good, but I just can't stand the stuff.

 

[1Q84]

I've gotten a lot of flack from some people, but for me, it might honestly be

My fiancee and I as a unit managed to struggle to finish it. I don't wanna talk about how much OMG IT SUXX, I just chalk it up as a beer not meant for me.

Also hate hate hate hate Killian's.

 

[BrewUpAndSup]

Heineken and carlsberg are pretty bad!!!

 

[danorocks17]

i bought a case of Ice House a few years ago as a joke for my buddy. He brews with me and he said in college they use to drink it and call it Life House. So I bought a case (having never drank it before), and it was just awful. It actually smelled like someone farted when I opened a can. gross.....

 

[SwampassJ]

I have never had a good beer from magic hat. I'd rather drink natty ice

Same here. Just something that I can't like no matter how many types I try. #9 was just meh but I hated Ourtoberfest.

Sunset is the only one I like from them. The shandy is interesting though. You just have to imagine that you are eating fruity pebbles/fruit loops for adults.

Abita Strawberry Harvest. Who knows? Maybe it was a bad bottle, but... yuck.

 

[dgrabstein]

Miller High Life. Surprise? Worst beer in the world. I don't know what they do to make that stuff, but they should just stop.

I have respect for BMC products. They are the best at what they do (light beer). I just hate Miller High Life that much.

U think its bad cold. When I was 19 I was stationed at kirtland afb in new Mexico. After work one day me and my buddies walked out to the parking lot. One of the guys was standing by his truck and asked me if I wanted a beer. I replied hell yes because I was underage so he grabs 2 and toss me a tall boy ice house. When it landed in my hands I was thinking Wtf. I said hey man this is f'in hot. He just laughed opened his beer and took a swig. Turns out the guy only liked hot ice house and from 5 feet away it smelled like dirty balls. I saw the guy at lots of partys and never saw him drink a cold beer

That stuff is horrid and should not be allowed to call itself beer.

BTW, I found pretty much anything that I have had from Leinenkugal sucked, but Sunset Wheat is its own private circle of Beer Hell.

Nasty, nasty nasty (did I say nasty?) stuff.
