Worst Commercial Beer You've Ever Had?

[leightonp]

Long thread and haven't read every page but didn't see Sam Adams cranberry lambic or meisterbrau. Back in college in upstate by we used to drink a lot of genny "screamers" at 5.99 a case. Also had red white and blue for less money, that was vile crap!

I just got a hangover remembering genny light. No telling how many cases of that hog piss I put down in the marines.

I was young but dammit, I let the smooth taste fool me!

Ha ha, that and it was like a dollar for a forty ouncer.

There's this one stout that everyone goes nuts for around fall in my city. It's the only 6 pack I've over dumped after 2 sips. Night of the Living Stout by Full Pint brewing in PA. It's 7.0% super roasted lactose stout that's hopped to 106 IBU with cascade. Why the **** would you use that much hops in a stout. Literally undrinkable.

Their sours are amazing though. That's the only beer I don't like by them. But it's BAD.

Monk in the Trunk from Inlet Brewing​ in. Jupiter FL. I had it last weekend while I. Ft Lauderdale. Tasted like fish.

I grew up in Arizona (60s & 70s), and there was nothing better than a inner-tube with an ice chest full of ice cold Coors tallboys while tubing the Gila or Salt rivers. Now that I'm all "grown up," I'd much prefer a tastier craft or homebrew than a BMC, but when you're a kid on a river in an inner-tube, who cares? It was heaven!

PS. I know, the thread is about worst commercial beers....so, anything with Pumpkin.

I couldn't agree more. I've floated down the Yampa many a time with some Coors in tow!

Victory Selene Saison. So musty, I couldn't drink it.

 

[Easycreeper]

My wife likes it and so do some of my coworkers, but Leinenkugel Summer Shandy is just awful to me and I can find something enjoyable about most beers.

 

[Morrey]

Schlitz Malt Liquor Bull. If I was the last person on earth, and this was the last beer on earth....I'd let someone else have it....LOL

Okay I was at a friends house, he offered me a beer and I couldn't be rude... I didn't think you could buy the generic beer in a plain aluminum can with just BEER on the label with the usual gov BS warnings. I drank 1/4 of it then said I had to go to the bathroom, took it with and dumped it. Man that was NASTY. Skunky green no clue what the heck it was made from beer.

There it is. The blue bull. Worst beer I've ever had.

I thought nothing would ever beat that nasty, Fruity Pebbles tasting, Lienenkugal's Sunset Wheat, but I have found one that is worse.

Oculto. It's made by one of Anheuser Busch's "Craft" breweries. It is supposed to have been aged with Tequila barrel staves and have Blue Agave juice or some other hideous addition.

It tastes like lighter fluid mix with ass.

Terrible. Simply terrible

Lonerider Sweet Josie Brown Ale. All malt.

 

[ZmannR2]

Arrogant Bastard Ale BY FAR!!!

Actually, I kinda like it. Yes, it's got an odd flavor, but I like it occasionally. Definitely not a regular thing, but occasionally.

Amstel Light, by far the worst. The Cicerone off flavor training used Amstel Light as the calibration beer. The first off flavor was DMS and I had a very difficult time telling the test beer from the calibration beer. Turns out Amstel Light uses a lot of corn in their recipe and as a result the DMS off flavor is not uncommon in the beer.

Cocoa Raspberry Shandy!

Cocoa Raspberry Shandy!

Sounds NASTY!

 

[HopGobbler]

Leinenkugel Summer Shandy... Absolutely disgusting trash. I can't stand Lemonade beer!

I'm going back all the way to 1974, Escondido, CA with this one (yes, I'm old!). A buddy and I were low on funds when we happened upon a display of Van Lauter's German style beer made in Phoenix. At $0.98/ six pack we couldn't pass it up, but we certainly should have.

I don't recall it necessarily tasting horrible and it must have been passable because we both drank 3 or 4. The true error of our decision didn't hit us until the next day. We were spewing from both ends for most of that day with an aftermath of dry heaves that lasted on into the evening.

I suppose it could have been the pizza, but we DID NOT repeat the experiment, so I'll never know!

 

[Bullshivit-brew]

Any thing shocktop! The beer we got as kids at the fast stop called just " BEER " and tasted like dirt was better.

Yuengling Lager.

(though their porter is outstanding, even if actually a dark lager and not truly a porter)

Well the Triple Bock from Sam Adams was definitely a drainpour... My wife and I thought we were just drinking soy sauce.

But for the normal beers I think that I'd have to go with the Boulevard Unfiltered Wheat. My wife and I tried that many times and thought it tasted like nothing more than someone pissed on a pile of hay... That was years ago... But just a month or two ago my friend is the beer manager at a bar and was talking about how he liked that beer... I told him our description of it and he didn't agree... So he poured himself a few samples, then got mad at me because every sample he poured tasted worse and worse. I assume there is some validity to our opinion.

The other beer is Moose Drool. We love other brown ales, but will dump that one every time...

Then a few years ago I had a cedar aged doppelbock from Boulevard... I didn't think it was bad but as I was finishing one glass of it (it was a bomber) I started getting headache that just got worse the more I drank it. I couldn't finish the second glass.
I've consumed other cedar aged or grilled things with no problem. I love cedar normally... But there was something in that beer that just did not work with me.

You're not worthy...

Piton, the pride of St. Lucia. Didn't have many options while on our honeymoon and was forced to suck a few of these down. Terrible beer.

I liked boulevard. Their quads are good, the wheat I used to like but now that I drink mostly 7% I cant even taste it. Think I'm done with wheats. However boulevards IPAs aren't the greatest. Their Belgian stuff is great though.

 

[GOOCHY]

Sam Adams does a Cherry Wheat. What a terrible, Ny-Quil tasting beer.

Oskar Blues Old Chub is a very close second.

It looks like the only beers of theres really from the time I was trying to drink them that still exist are the Single Wide IPA, Unfiltered Wheat, and Tank 7. Or the other beers weren't available in Texas.

I really don't enjoy anything over 6.5% except for special occasions so I normally do love good hefeweizens (but I don't normally like american wheats...). I've found the vast majority of american made belgian style beers to be atrocious, made by people who have no clue what they're supposed to be like and just going on the more is better gimmicky concept, so I have not touched their Sixth Glass when I've seen it...

Although I think I have a bottle of the Rye on Rye sitting around somewhere.

Fifty years ago, when I was just starting to enjoy drinking beer, I learned that "Schlitz" was a sure thing to give me a headache. Come to think about it, back then it may have had more to do with the quantity than the quality of the beer .

Boulevard's brewmaster (Steven Pauwels) is Belgian born and raised.

Rye-on-Rye is one of my all-time favorite beers!
