Worst Commercial Beer You've Ever Had?

[Sweetchuck]

Iron City - from Pittsburgh, where I was bred.

My dad was a staunch IC drinker, so when I was younger we'd watch Steeler games together and drink a ton of it. I never cared for the taste, but I drank it with him out of respect mostly.

IC cuts their beer with corn and it has an acidic taste. I think I got tanked on it one too many times, I have a hard time choking it down anymore.

Aside from lite beers which suck in general (like drinking slightly alcoholic soda water), Corona tastes like piss (with our without the lime) and Tecate, similar taste.

Abita Turbodog hands down. It's the only beer I've ever had that actually tasted like vomit - it was SO sour. Luckily I only had to waste a 3oz serving as it was part of a flight I ordered at a local craft beer bar. There was one other kind of chocolate beer in that flight that took a close second. It was hard to believe that the two worst beers I've ever had were served to me at the same time as part of the same flight.

There are some cheap American lagers that are high on that list as well, it's definitely one of my least favorite styles.

Sounds like the "craft" beer bar needs to clean their lines more. Turbodog is an ok beer.

Worst Commercial Beer You Have Ever Had?


Worst commercial beer I've ever had:

By far "Buffalo Sweat Stout" (on tap) by Tallgrass Brewing Company and I'm a stout drinker.

My friend and I sent ours back after drinking 1/2 a pint and quickly ordered a fresh pint of Guinness.

So what says you.......whats your vote for worst commercial beer you've tasted???????

Pilsner Urquell by far worst beer i ever tasted, ill stick to my black beers lol

 

[WhineinAlbany]

Worst commercial stuff -

#1 Corona Extra . . nasty stuff that not even a lime can fix. I can stomach the light stuff if I have to . . .
#2 Milwaukee's Best . . Milwaukee's worst (I certainly hope this isn't their best!) This was actually the first beer I tried as a kid, and the reason why I wouldn't touch beer until college. Over carbonated crap in a can. Yuck
#3 Smuttynose Pumpkin Ale. Probably not a fault of Smuttynose, maybe I just can't stand the style? I was hoping for pumpkin pie in a bottle, but I was drinking bitter spices. Could I achieve pumpkin pie? I hope so!
#4 Ommegang Abbey Ale. Probably again, because I'm just not a fan of the style. It was way too strong for me.

Mmmm, pilsner urquell. I can't believe I used to avoid that one. Thankfully my mind opened up drastically when I started brewing. Now it's a regular.
As far as the worst, gotta be one of those 'ice' somethings. Maybe Natty Ice, my sis in law drinks that and man, she's the only person I turn down when she asks if I wanna beer. Gross.

Pilsner Urquell is alright, but drinking a hoppy lager from Europe that's packaged in green glass bottles is bound to be a misleading experience, because some level of skunking is virtually guaranteed. Heineken and Stella Artois are in a similar boat... and it's so commonplace that most people think that's what it's SUPPOSED to taste like (which doesn't say much for the people who regularly drink that stuff!) But Urquell is much more aggressively hopped, and so is likely to suffer from skunking even more, since skunking compounds are created from the reaction of hop oils with UV light.

If you drank it fresh, or even if they had the sense to use brown bottles, you probably wouldn't be saying it's the worst.

I like Captain Bastard's Oatmeal Stout a little. There are several very good micro's in Utah. I think people just have a biased opinion about Utah and beer. The local micros kill at blind taste test comps, yet do very poorly when the judges know they're drinking "Utah" beer.

I recently had a Utah brewed wheat beer by Epic Brewing and it was damn tasty...wish I could score some more of their brews down here in Texas...

Bud Light and Corona Extra

Extra what?

Suck?

 

[aerialmedical]

Anyone ever had a beer called Big Flats? They seem to only be sold by our local Walgreens...it's like $2.99 a six-pack. Holy jeeze...it's non-lethal poison. If there was such a thing as store brand beer, this is what it'd be like.

How can you not like iron city. I love it so very much

Bud light with Clamato already in it in a can - had a novelty factor but don't think I'll be trying it again.

 

[danorocks17]

i saw on a website for a drink called "Horse ****" and it was half beer, half milk. That sounds pretty god awful, thank god they never tried commercializing it.

Gee I wonder why they didn't, especially with such a commercially friendly name!

Clamato is pretty good ****, even without vodka.

Adding Bud just screws it up IMO, never tasted it, never will.

 

[Mdhill]

Bud light wheat for me could not finish one

 

[DannPM]

Avery The Beast Grand Cru...worst beer ever, thick, syrupy, way way way over hopped for any kind of dark Belgian, and worst of all it tastes like all of the 16% of the abv is long chain fusel alcohols...nasty

 

[jjward101]

Whatever the Budweiser Lime/Lemon thing is is just below human excrement on my list of things to drink.

 

[Ravenshead]

I can't remember if I posted this before but it's worth repeating. Grolsch Bok (yes that's how it was spelled) was undrinkable. I believe it's the only beer I could not finish. And that was back in my college years when I could (and did) drink anything.

We bought a sixer to try. After a few swigs we gave the rest to the winos on the beach. I've tried to google it to see if this abomination still exists and I can't even find a record of it. It appears to have been wiped from the historical record like something out of 1984.
