Worst Commercial Beer You've Ever Had?

[Apendecto]

Only beer I couldn't drink:

Petrus Aged Porter.

I laughed when I read that an earlier dude tried to make a salad dressing out of it. Was it supposed to be a vinegar beer?

 

[edasaurus]

Anyone ever try costal fog ipa? It was awful. Tasted like something was actually wrong with it. Like it had gone bad. Took two sips then dumped the rest.

Unfortunately I had bought a 12 pk. I was about to dump it then my wife said something about washing her hair with it hope her hair doesn't fall out

For some reason I cant drink a St. Pauly's girl. I did a blind taste test with my (at the time snobby) cousin between Heineken and Milwaukee Best and he couldnt tell the difference.

I dont know about worst commercial beer i've ever had, but my girlfriends roommate (knowing that I enjoyed good beer, and that i brewed) offered me one of her favorites...leinenkugel's berry weiss.

Dear god was it disgusting, tasted like fruit juice mixed with a natty

 

[briguy]

Red Hook Sun Rye. Low cal attempt using rye. Actually emailed Red Hook after I dumped the other 5.

 

[OldSoulBrew]

Worst commercial beer with a reputable name behind it: Natty Greenes Wet Hop Southern Pale Ale. Granted it was during a beer tasting in 90 degree weather, but it tasted like stale urine (no idea what that actually tastes like). Worst overall: Coors Light, alluminum flavored creek water.

Pigs Eye. Thank God they stopped making that crap.

Wow, I forgot about Pigs Eye. That was one nasty beer.

Though Natty Greene's Buckshot is a decent beer. I'll still stick with Big Boss and Roth for good Raleigh beer though.

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

Big Flats 1901. For 2.99 a 6 pack you get what you pay for. CRAP!!

keystone ice. *******.

 

[dos_perros]

I have to agree with the people who have pointed out some of my lest favorite beers:
Leinenkugels Summer Shandy- I think its horrible but the wife loved it.
Sam Adams Cherry Wheat- Wife and I both thought it tastted like cough syrup.

Then the other day I tried Blue Moons Spring seasonal brew, ugh! I love Blue Moon but at first this one was horrible, never really got better and I dont think I actually even managed to finish it, wife even thought it was horrible as well.

Let us know what you end up taking and what the winner/loser is.

Hopefully this isn't off-topic as it wasn't the "worst" craft beer, but I had Full Sail's Bump In the Night yesterday and it was one of the most confusing beers I've had in a while.

Itsbilled as a Cascadian Dark Ale (~ American Black IPA), but it comes across like they brewed another style, didn't like the results, then just dry-hopped to cover it up and threw it on the market as a Black IPA. It's pretty malty and oddly boozy for 6.5 ABV.

Anyone else had this beer?

Samichlaus, had been beer connoisseuring for years and was well familiar with the style, but hated it. Two three sips and down the drain it went. It's been a lot of years now but from what I can vaguely remember it tasted like prune juice with a lot of alcohol mixed in.

Also,
Sam Adams Cherry Wheat
Blue Moon Harvest Moon Pumpkin Ale - tasted nothing like a pumpkin! The one's I bought tasted literally like dust, chalky dust!

Wow, I can't believe Samichlaus got thrown under the bus. I love that beer. Incredibly complex and a wonderful winter warmer. There is a prune flavor there but that's just one component of the flavor profile. I get a 6 pack every December.

Yep, but the one I had was awful, absolutely terrible. I know it's rated really highly so I should probably try one again. I got it at a really nice beer distributor in Brooklyn NY, where I used to live. They had between 500-1000 different beers but since most typical Brooklynites in that area probably aren't familiar with good beer theres a damn good chance it was sitting there for a very very long time. But with it's high alcohol content and high OG I'd think it should age fine. One of my other favorites for a long time was Fuller's Vintage. Not sure if they're still making those today though as I haven't seen them in years.

Hands down, Pyramid Apricot Ale, tried it before and after they changed the name to "Audacious" either way it was just crap, people diss Sam Adam's Blackberry Wit, Cranberry Lambic and Cherry Wheat but I can at least finish a bottle of those, not "Audacious". That beer turned me off to fruit beers until I discovered lambics.

 

[rjwhite41]

Never had Fullers Vintage. Samichlaus actually gets better with age but it is possible that it was not stored properly.

It's funny, my sister worked a summer in Australia, and the Aussies don't drink fosters either. Kinda like most canadians don't drink labatts blue, seriously we don't, it's a far cry from a good pilsner.

Worst beer as of late? Majic hat number 9...... God, it tastes like fermented mushroom juice.... Just plain gross....

 

[Goblism]

I might get slammed here, but the only two beers I couldn't finish were Sam Adams Cherry Wheat and Boulevard Lunar Ale. I don't know what purple should taste like, but I am pretty sure Boulevard Lunar Ale is what it would taste like.

I have an honorable mention to include, don't remember what the exact beer was, but it was made by Gluek. A buddy picked up 4-5 case of it because it was $8/case. I think even when I was drunk I had a hard time putting that stuff down.

I know they don't drink it, they drink Cooper's mostly, but I really like Foster's. It does have it's own unique taste that I haven't come across in any other brews in the style range.

I can't believe how many people hate Sam Adams Cherry Wheat. I actually like it a lot, although I can only have one at a time before it gets too sweet. However, I hate Sam Adams Imperial White. Besides that, I don't know if they still make it or not but Miller Chill was pretty awful.

 

[NPK]

Dos Equis lager. Awesome spokesperson. Crappy beer.

 

[Jud]

Tap Room 21 Pale Ale Not good!!!!!!!!!!

 

[BargainMugs]

I'm pretty tolerant for trying new beers, but I had to recently pour one down the drain. My gf bought a 6 pack of Wild Blue. I had about 3 sips, each one worse than the one before. Straight down the drain.

+1 to all the Cherry Wheat posts.

-1 to the person that said Southern Tier Pumpking and Creme Brulee. You're crazy!

 

[couplebeers]

Same here for Wild Blue. I think I managed to finish one from the six pack, got halfway through a second and ended up dumping the rest. Gross. It was blue too if I remember correctly.

Not a commercial beer but I tried Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier, a german smoked beer that is supposed to taste like bacon. It was my first smoked beer and I couldn't stand it.

 

[beeber]

Some wacky beer with watermelon in it, from a can. The name escapes me.

wait how is that not a commercial beer?

 

[Jsmith82]

I'm on the wagon with the Wild Blue haters... Made it through 1 of 6 before the sink got a refreshing drink.
