Worst Commercial Beer You've Ever Had?

[Reno_eNVy]

Sierra Nevada Bigfoot Barley Wine - i like Sierra Nevada, and i LOVE barleywine. i heard SO much hype about Bigfoot. it tasted like skunk butt, imo.

Whaaaaaaa?! Really? You must have had a bad bottle

 

[rycov]

I hated big foot too. Did NOT taste like barley wine.

 

[unionrdr]

Lolz. I remember when generic "BEER" 1st came out. I thought the local grocer was goofin on us...Even saw those cans in "Deer Avenger" computer games I still have. It was under "human sign". Ha. But the "HB",hofbrau Munchen in the green bottle was more like fermented bear wizz by the time we got it over here...

 

[chunklefunk]

Anything from Sam Adams. I don't get all the fuss. I've tried the Boston Lager, Boston Ale and their Blackberry Wit. Just not a big fan of them.

bad case, actually. REALLY jumped the gun on that purchase.

old style....puke

I agree on the leinenkugel Berrywiesse.

The only beer I have ever sent back was a bottle of Molly's chocolate stout from College green brewery in N. Ireland. Thin, sour, and flat and the bar claimed that was normal and not a bad bottle or batch.

Ive dumped a couple of leiny's nut brown. I had my eye on this at the end of winter, once i got it, eww artificial nut flavored crapy stale musty nut beer-dump...next.

 

[jonmohno]

Apparently you just aren't worthy . Whatever floats your boat. AB is hands down one of my favorite brews.

Ha it must be a joke with Rate beer enthusiests too,with a 99 score.Everybody is entitaled to opinion, but wow its a great beer great hops great body great head great lacing, roasty malt balanced semi sweetly with an incredible hop bitterness. To each is own.

You know how an old fellow who's been smoking a pipe for 40 years can take a puff of his tobacco and tell you he tastes notes of cherry, vanilla, and sandalwood? But if a nonsmoker tries it he will just start choking and his eyes will stream tears?

Or how an art snob can look at a painting that is nothing more than a canvas covered with black and red splotches and tell you that the artist was brilliantly conveying the suffering of the peasant class during the Spanish Revolution?

That's exactly how Arrogant bastard gets a 99. It is well named.

 

[Misfit]

I beg to differ on the it has a good name part. The beer itself has a plesant taste to it. It may not be your cup of tea. Hell I can't stand mushrooms but I can still see how people can like the flavor. Ab has a good flavor to it

 

[rgontasz]

I think AB is a good beer (a bit too hoppy for this guy), but I still see it as a good beer. However, does it really deserve a 99? I doubt it is only 1 point below the likes of KBS, Pliney, Westvleteren, and BCS.

As far as my least favorite commercial, I would have to say it's a tie between Rogue Olde Crustacean and Starhill Lucy. I love barleywine, but old crusty tastes like ear wax to me. I think it may be whatever hops they use, but I have tried it many times throughout the years and still feel like I'm licking someones ear! Lucy tastes like over carbed artificial lime water! There is no way that it uses natural lime as its tastes like chemicals. I was very disappointed as it is a Virginia brewery!

 

[RickWG]

Hoegarden (sp) I think it tasted like gasoline mixed with spices. Hated and couldn't finish a bottle let alone a six pack. My father in law came to visit and drank it down like it was going out of style.

Tie: Samuel Adams Summer Ale and Samuel Adams Cherry Wheat.

I recently had a couple of pints if the summer ale when I was last in the states ... it was a nice pint

The only beer i've EVER dumped down the drain in the past 5 years of discovering really good beer...

Anything by Ska...

Hope i didn't offend anyone out there, just can't stomach anything they make

Leinenkugel's Sunset Wheat.

First beer I've ever poured out. Hopefully my last.

I've heard of "cereal grains", but this ****er tastes like Fruity Pebbles. Barney can have it...

 

[Brewstress]

Has anyone tried the Costco beer? Defiantly the worst beer out there hands down. They sell a variety pack, and every beer tasted the exact same. You know it's bad when a wheat and a pale ale taste exactly the same.

 

[29thfloor]

For a while Leinenkugel's Sunset Wheat was at the top of my list. Last week I found the new champion: Cave Creek's Chili Beer. It's basically the same as drinking the liquid from a jar of pickled jalapenos.

 

[alexdagrate]

AB's Winter's Bourbon Cask Ale.

We did a double-blind taste test of three dozen winter beers. After having Delirium Noel, Samichlaus Noel, and three year aged Jubelale, everyone spat out the first sip of this dreck.

And y'all are crazy for not liking Arrogant Bastard. The local Costco had 12 packs of the 22s a year ago and I bought three cases at the same time. Pretty much had at least a bottle a night for weeks. I was in heaven.

lol, great post.

 

[Sacreddog717]

I agree. Love Arrogant Bastard. Got my own version that I'm trying to dial in. Love the Chinook.

Yikes...didn't know store-brand beer actually existed...what's next, Wal-Mart Weizen??

 

[ruralbrew]

Leinies Berry Weiss and Summer Shandy. The only two beers up to this point I haven't been able to finish. It still amazes me when I see people drinking them, but then again, Leinies is big around here.
The latest incarnation of Schlitz isn't very good either.

 

[aerialmedical]

Leinenkugel just may hold some of this thread's most "disgusting beers"...lotsa hatas! Guys...you're gonna hurt Leinie's feelings......

 

[pinkfloyd4ever]

Old Style

and I haven't had it but I'm betting Chelada would trump Old Style if I ever decide to subject myself to it

 

[mrduna01]

Just sat Down to a lienenkugel shandy. I'm getting up to dump it as I type this.

 

[Rockape66]

To whoever posted that Leinie's Summer Shandy tasted like Lemon Pledge, I can only agree. Almost had to spit out the first sip, didn't take another.
