Worst Commercial Beer You've Ever Had?

[KMKsuburbannoise]

I know this is totally off topic and pointless but you didn't say something like "I bought it because the description on the bottle sounded good" or "I bought it because I enjoy the style." You said you bought it because you heard how high the ABV was. That's a bad criteria to buy a beer and then complain about it. In college we bought a case of CAMO 16 oz cans. They tasted like ****, but we bought them because they were 9% ABV. We understood the mess we were getting into. Anyways, which DFH brew was it?

ot sure, it was featured in a couple of Magazines incuding Playboy as being the strongest beer on the market. I guess i tried it because of the vanity.

For me it had to be wolavers alta gracia coffee porter. Cold coffee, not beer. The only beer ive ever dumped was sam adams imperial white. Ill choke pretty much anything down, but that was horrible. For ciders, Crispin was really bad. The one with the black label. Strange but Crispin honey has become one of my faves

In the midwest we have gas stations named Kum n Go and they have a private label malt liquor named Hiland Reserve. It is the nastiest "beer" I have tasted in my entire life.

Kum on you are messing with us??? I wish National Lampoon was still in production, they would have printed that for sure.

Kum n Go - thats what she said. I am LMAO reading that this is really a store name. Classic. We had a hardware store called Busy Beaver but that pales to Kum n Go.

Thank you, I will be playing here all night.

Two really bad ones

Crystal made somehwere in NJ/PA in the late 80's. NO quality control. Would get bottles not sealed properly that had mold in them. $4.99 a case in college - you make sacrifices.

Midnight Dragon out of Cincinnati - Played beer pong with it and the ball would not sink into the foam. Malt liquor to boot.

There were some on this list that I really like. Kind of shocked me. Raison D'Etre, Gonzo Imperial, and New Castle go down easier than a escort in Charlie Sheens hotel room.

As for the worst beer, thats a tough one. There are so many out there. 95% seasonal beers suck. Any Ice beer. Especially, Natty Ice. All Mexican beers except Carta Blanca and maybe an occasional Dos Equis or Modelo.

Crazy Charlies Chilie Beer. the one cenla mentioned with the chilie pepper in it. Gotta be the worst ever.

 

[deadscott]

Tommy Knockers Maple whatever it is

Tommy Knockers Maple whatever it is

Oh man, forgot about that one. That was the worst.

Magic Hat #9 = Putrid

Agreed! They have some great beer, but their # 9 is not to my liking. Just horrible.

 

[jiggs_casey]

I can't remember the name now but, that Walgreens crap...

 

[Ernst-Haeckel]

Harpoon UFO is total crap. I've tried it many times thinking I must be missing something, but I just can't bring myself to even finish a bottle.

 

[italynstallyn44]

I'll put in another vote for Steel Reserve. Most disgusting thing I have ever tasted. With that said, I cannot count how many I threw down back in college, although most of them did not stay down long.

Two come to mind:

Black Label...$4.00 a case in the '80's
At the Brew Pub in Leavenworth, WA 1995 tried their IPA...whew. Took six Guiness's to get the taste out of my mouth. Been gunshy of IPA's since.

 

[rustbucket]

two come to mind when thinking of this:

Genesee cream ale (well all their beer) and labatts blue, those two taste like fresh skunk a$$ through a putrid swamp

sadly any bar you go to around here is labatts as their main tap.

 

[Mongrel]

We had a hardware store called Busy Beaver but that pales to Kum n Go.

Portland has a strip club called Beaver's Inn. If any of you ever visit Portland and desire adult entertainment after hitting the breweries, avoid this pla....you know what go there...you'll never forget the experience.

As for horrible beer, Ducal out of Santa Cruz, Bolivia is horrible piss, but I'd still take that over a Michelob Ultra.

 

[lumpher]

boddington's draught. gagged on first drink, and on consecutive drinks. dumped the rest on the ground. couldn't contaminate the sewer with it

 

[vortexla]

Sam Double Bock from their imperial series.

 

[pablo1337]

Sam Adams Cherry Wheat

To me it tasted like cough syrup...bad cough syrup

 

[SwampassJ]

I can't remember the name now but, that Walgreens crap...

Heard for the price point it was better than the BMC crowd. I haven't seen it from here.

Odd, cuz I find both of those beers to be miles better than your standard BMC. Especially Blue.

In college we would have penny nights where we would go around campus and ask people for their pennies. Any excuse would do but the fave was "it's so-n-so's birthday". Then we rolled them and bought as much bargain barrel beer that the stores had. Goebel/Black Label/Olympia were some of the worst ones! But, since my beer IQ was raised and I started brewing, I must say the WORST of the worst was LienenKuegal (is that spelled right?) Lemon flavored beer- .

... sorry, I threw up a little in my mouth remembering that stinker!

 

[Grinder12000]

Lazy Mutt by Minhaus in Wisconsin. Not one person could finish more then 1/2 bottle on the 8 pack!

 

[rico567]

Clearly, there are many people here who are too young to have sampled Wiedemann's.

 

[JRems]

I would have to say Sam Adams cherry wheat. I can suffer through a pint of almost any bad beer. But this was one I couldn't drink more than two sips of. It's udderly disgusting. I think it was the only beer I have sent back.

Summer Shandy

 

[Madoutbacker]

Laser malt liquor worst ever hands down.

 

[Dog House Brew]

My college day Ol' Faithful. :rockin: We would buy something premium, well as premium we could afford, and finish up with Wiede pops. Wow that brings back some memories..........of the squirts the next day...........
As for the worst beer, I would have to say the old Falls City.

 

[sudbuster]

Diamond Bear Brewery, Little Rock, Arkansas. Irish red is "fail".

 

[Wetfoot]

312 Wheat. Of all the culinary aboninations from Chicago, this one takes the lavender chocolate cupcake

 

[nutty_gnome]

Sam Adams Summer Ale. tasted like corn mash on tap and in the bottle. blech.
