What is the "worst" beer you like? Your guilty pleasure, if you will...

[KrayzieVanh]

Heineken / Corona <- I'm Laotian and you'll find these at every Laotian party.

Miller Lite / Bud Lite <- Found at most events and can be had for cheap.

I have two;

Budweiser - Drank it in the Marine Corps. Its one beer that I drink if I plan to get fubarred for no good reason. I also drink it at the ***** bars. Staple beer for looking at ****s. I can reverse-drink (aka barfing) and get another to gargle and rinse!!! I know, gross, but it was true when I smoked cigarettes.

Rolling Rock - If I'm down it the dumps and plan to stay home and get trashed. Usually warm weather is required. Gluttony persists with the 1st one down in in two minutes, the 2nd in five. Then grilling/marination of hot spicy chicken commences. Luckily, is been quite a while since I've felt the need to marinate chicken and drink swill, under duress! :cross:

Shiner Black Lager or Bock.

 

[Yuri_Rage]

Hamm's

...and Shiner Black is quite on point for a schwarzbier. It is certainly not bad beer. IMHO, it's the only thing Spoetzl makes that's worth drinking.

 

[Whut]

We're all friends here, right? My turn for confession then: "Father forgive me for I have sinned . . . . It's been two months since I brewed."

My teen years (ahem, I meant early 20's) were spent consuming both Lucky Lager and Rainier Beer as both were available in 16oz. bottles by the case for $10 and $12 respectively. As an adult it's been Coors Light, Corona, and Miller Lite of late.

I don't feel better though, I HAVE GOT TO BREW! ! ! !

 

[triethylborane]

Coors
Icehouse (the stuff is just garbage, but it is nostalgic)

 

[BenDover]

Busch Light.

When the pipeline is dry, or I know I have displaced redneck brethren coming over.

I live in an Army town and the gas station has 18 packs of 16oz cans for $11.99.

 

[JByer323]

PBR.

Sorry for partying.

Yeah, I questioned whether I should even add those. I also enjoy a Bud Select from time to time.....

Old Style at a Cubbies game - preferably when they are winning! (-- yeah I know.)

 

[Sigafoos]

I don't think Yuengling is a guilty pleasure. It's not great, but it's a step below Sam Adams and a step above the rest.

I actually enjoy Genessee. It's a good lawnmower beer, or for drinking with pizza when I want something cold.

Since I'm Buffalo raised I think I have to say Blue as well. Not generally, but when I'm at my father in law's and he has a six pack of craft and a case of Blue, I don't want to suck down his good stuff. Listen to 97 Rock while working on a car and tell me it doesn't taste good.

Steel Reserve. I knew this beer was awful when I started drinking it in college - before I really knew about good beer. But every once in awhile when I'm gearing up for a block party, I'll crack open a 22 (down from my college 40s), choke down the 9.1% metallic poison, and remember a time when I didn't have bills, I saw friends daily, more or less frequently met women who for some reason allowed me to see them without clothes on, and generally enjoyed being young.

If I ever made a beer that remotely resembled SR, I would cry myself a river. But every once in awhile...

 

[BKmyWAY]

i would have to go with lionshead....not only do you get a nice cheap beer, but you also get a nice little puzzle under the cap.

 

[Homercidal]

Bud Light Lime. Only had it once, on a hot morning after. Nice and refreshing. Strangely, I can't remember what it tasted like...

So, other than that, no. I just don't drink a beer I don't like.

 

[Schlenkerla]

So, other than that, no. I just don't drink a beer I don't like.

Nobody said name a beer you hate drinking, name a macrobrewery beer that you tend to drink with some guilt due to being "A Devoted EAC".

 

[ghack]

Genessee Cream Ale, though I can't get it in my current location
High Life, generally with football
Michelob, one of the first beers I ever tasted

I don't think Yuengling is a guilty pleasure. It's not great, but it's a step below Sam Adams and a step above the rest.

I agree with that statement. Yuengling is the go-to beer in my area for block parties, weddings, whatever. I never really paid it much mind because it was so ubiquitous, but I quit drinking for about 2 years, probably didn't have a Yuengling for like 3. I had one after that long hiatus and I couldn't believe how good it tasted. Also, if you're in the 570 area code, its probably not a good idea to bad mouth Yuengling in any local bars. It's kind of a coal cracker point of pride.

My guilty pleasure beer is Schmidt's, preferably in pounders, preferably with a fish on the can.

 

[sizemj]

Busch, from my College days. It was $5.00 for a twelve. Now I would have to say PBR at home in Kentucky, but I do go down to Alabama's Gulf Coast and there is a hole in the wall place I like on the beach. I get boiled shrimp and a pitcher of Yuengling. (Cannot get Yuengling in Kentucky )

 

[swoody]

I don't know if they are "crap" beers, but I can easily drink Pacifico (esp. while eating tamales and the like!!) and there usually are some Labatt's in my fridge.

 

[devilishprune]

In college we had Big Bear. It was only sold in 40s and was the cheapest thing in the liquor store. It tasted like liquefied bologna soaked in King Cobra and filtered thru a used gym sock.
.

This. Is excellent.

Usually, when I go to a Mexican restaurant, I'll down a Negra Modela, or a Dos equis. The little fruitiness in there goes excellent with chips and salsa.

 

[KevinW]

Haven't had it in ages but Michelob was my first "good" beer experience.

Had an aunt who was a distributor for Bud so that is a gimme, grew up on sips of Bud and Busch!

Apparently I am in a big minority but I will gladly drink a Foster's before BMC.

Ultimately if you are buying it, I am drinking it!

[passedpawn]

Old Mildew (Old Milwaukee). I don't drink it much (maybe a canoe trip once a year), but it was granddad's poison and it will always mean something to me.

 

[Pivot]

If im going to drink BMC, its either Molson Canadian or Keiths. This is usually when Im out drinking with friends, and the beer selection is exclusively BMC, so I need to find something to drink

oh and I enjoy Guinness on occasion as well. Pretty light for a stout, but still aint bad. better than BMC lager anyway

 

[jpb5151]

For me, BMC is either Miller High Life or Stroh's. I see them as refreshing beverages, and they don't disappoint. No thinking, no evaluating, just enjoying and moving on. For some reason, Bud, Genessee and a few others leave me with headaches. Anyone know if they use different additives / preservatives?

 

[DZello]

I love them all! If you can find it in the US, try it! You'll not be disappointed.

 

[orj]

Milwaukee's Best!!!

Or as we call it "Wisconsin's Worst"!

 

[chefmike]

Steel Reserve. I.

I like Steel Reserve. Here in cans it is 6% and a 12er is $6. It has a little more body and sweetness than PBR.

Never had the 9%.

But I think it is good lawnmower/ protect the pipeline beer. :fro:
