So about 12 years ago i was walking along a creek and saw the bottom of a beer can sticking out of the mud. When i picked it up i noticed it was still full. Upon picking the mud off and washing it in the creek i noticed it had an old pull tab. It is a Milwaukee's Best from I'd say early 80's. I can only imagine how long it was bobbing in the river and creek, or buried in the mud. The bottom of the can is all bulged out from years of hot sun and being frozen. I wonder what it tastes like. I'd say this is the worst tasting beer i have in my collection.

There's this thing I like to do if somehow I end up with beer that I don't like.

I shake the cans up, set them out there a ways and shoot them!
 
Who knows, after 20 + years, maybe it tastes better, probably not, but maybe. We used to be able to buy a case of "The Beast" for 7 bucks on base....many a bad drunk on those things in my early 20's.
 
Milwaukee's Best has got to be the worst beer ever as it is, could only get better with time though, right? Why don't you try it and let us know?

It's seems I'm always having to suffer through some horrendous beer because if someone offers me a beer, I feel obliged to take it, and drink it. Sometimes though, even the worst beers taste okay after the 5th or 10th one. An "acquired" taste, I suppose.
 
Ugh. Revenge of the beast. It's right up there with Busche and Miller light.

Currently, the worst tasting beer in my repitoire happens to be Stone's Vertical Epic 12/12/12. God, that beer tastes like a confused, jumbled nasty mess. I bought two bombers of it the other night for New Years and it tastes like a smokey chocolate belgian spiced bandaid. It's terrible, and I usually love most of Stone's offerings.

I'm holding onto the second bottle for a beer trade, or zombie hand to hand combat. Whichever comes first.

There are some people's houses that I wont go to without bringing beer that I can drink.

I don't want to get stuck with someone handing me a busch.
 
When I was snowboarding for a living we would buy cases of "animal beer" and get "Schmidt faced" all the time because at $6-7 a case nobody was being picky.

The hangovers were pure hell though :tank:

I'm with ya, but for the record I'll take a busch light over a bud light or miller light any day. Busch light is terrible beer, but IMO much better than those two. Doesn't say much though.
 
Well to be honest, I'm not much of an expert on those beers. Maybe one time every couple months I'll have a small taste of Busch. That's what one of my buddies drinks.
I come armed with real beer to prevent having to offend by turning down one of those nasty things.

It's just well aged. People spend $1,000's on wines that age this long. Maybe you stumbled upon a $1,000 can of beer.

It is Milwaukee's Best to it can only get better with time.
 
Put it on fleabay, you know its going to end up in a hipsters bidding war and you just may make a couple hundred for your troubles.
 
Id also have to say my worst homebrew i have is an extract recipe wheat beer. It tastes great, very close to a Hoegaarden, but it will give you the worst gas you ever had in your life. I was thinking it was all the suspended yeast, so i put gelatin in it and let it sit for a while to drop out. That didn't help. So now its been sitting in my cooler getting better with age.

Wow, I thought it was awesome. Tastes like a dark strong Belgian with holiday spices. I don't get any smokiness or bandaid flavor at all. I got my growler filled 3 times and would have gone down the other day to get it filled a 4th time, but didn't feel like making the drive. Goes to show how different people have different tastes.

The worst beer in my house right now (in my opinion) is another Stone offering, however, their 16th anniversary. I grabbed several bottles and was sorely disappointed with bitter astringency, I think from the lemon verbena. I still have one or two bottles that I just don't want.
