Worst Commercial Beer You've Ever Had?

[Airplanedoc]

Lets See in the late 90's During College there were many contenders

Dirt Cheap Beer from St. Louis ---- Cheap, Cheap, Fun, Fun
Special Export
Stag
Milwaukee's Best Light

And what ever they served in the Nickle Pirchers on Tuesday and the Quarter drafts on Thrusday night

I love Belgian beers, this one came sour and tasted a little soapy. I believe there was glass contamination, hence I count it as worst commercial beer served to me.

May have been the glass, but it could've also been the Brett and/or been one of the infected batches.

Users have reported some infected bottles from these batches:

4/1/10 12oz

I'm not even joking here, but my palate cannot take any light beer...at all.

For whatever reason I just cannot stomach drinking a light beer; whereas, pretty much everything else (aside from stouts) I've loved.

GAmeday. It's 7-11's brand and I think it's made by keystone. I couldn't even finish one.

WILD BLUE.
If you have said there is something worse, then I don't think you have ever had a Wild Blue.

This. Wild Blue takes the cake for worst beer I have ever had. I think it is made my AB also, so minus points for that as well.

I go to stores and buy singles so I have had a fair share of sampling, but I have never had a beer I can't finished because it is a sin to waste beer.

But for worst commercial beer just about anything with a "Light" in it, i.e. Bud light, Coors light...

Can't understand why my friend only orders Coors Light. I told him why not just order a regular beer and a glass of water, then mix the 2 together. Now you got 2 Coors Light for the price of one. :cross:

I couldn't agree more. My father-in-law has the ability to put down any type of malt-based swill that is set in front of him, but even he couldn't drink more than a few sips of this stuff. The only reason I drank more than one gulp of it was that I had a hard time believing that the first sip was as bad as my body was insisting and needed confirmation.

CAMO SILVER F'N ICE. By far the worst although, blats was pretty crappy. I guess I can thank some friends with a really cheap taste in beer. Or is it malt liquor?

 

[SkylerChaBro]

While visiting a rather upscale restaurant in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan I had the grave misfortune of ordering a Hacker-Pschorr, Weisse, I think.

I acually like Hacker-Pschorr. It could have been poorly handled. I remember having a blue moon at my local pub and it was the most awkward tasting thing ever. Something had gone terrably wrong because I generally love blue moon.

Hope you enjoyed your trip to the U.P. by the way. I love going up there.

 

[Beezy]

Those German beers are live like homebrew. Can easily have something go wrong. I had Hacker-Pschorr Weizenbock before that stuff is awesome.

Usually when you add a monkey to something, it makes it better.
Not so in this case.

Golden Monkey tasted like a ************* fueled by monkeys.
Simply the worst beer I have ever had.

A restaurant near me makes a damn fine Capuchin Monkey Burger, although I suspect they may use Rhesus meat at times to save a few bucks.

Mmmmmmm.....monkey

Labatt Wildcat Force 10 takes the cake for me. It came in those big 1.18L bottles. Aroma was pure corn and rocket fuel with hints of paint thinner. But it was absolutely scrumptious compared to the taste. I remember vividly the metallic twang that just wouldn't quit. It was like sucking on old rusty plumbing. And it had that sweet alcohol taste upfront... Yuck. Happily this abomination doesn't exist anymore, but you can still buy the Wildcat Strong.

Skunked/mishandled: I bought a Dead Guy 6 pack a year or so ago and it tasted like it had been fermented in a linebacker's jockstrap. Sweaty horseballs doesn't begin to describe how awful it was.

Newcastle, Avery White Rascal, Sam Adams Summer Ale, Victory Golden Monkey...

If these are the absolute WORST beers that have ever touched your palates, I'd LOVE to know what you guys typically drink. Basically what you are saying is that if someone hands you a Bud Ice and any one of those above, you'd pour them out and drink the Bud Ice.

Not the best? Sure. But absolute worst? Maybe your first beers were Westvleterens and you just never looked back.

Duchess de Borgogne. The most expensive bottle of vinegar I have ever purchased.

This thread has become the "beers I don't like" list.

Btw, Westy 12 is the worst IPA evar, it's not even hoppy!

I forgot about this. It's up there for me too.

 

[Recompense]

Anybody mention Porkslap? Because that is nasty stuff.

 

[mnstorm99]

DFH 120 Minute IPA is the one that stands out the most. But, I might choose that over Heineken or Corona

That is definitely a style that you have to be prepared for. I personally like it.

So far as "worst commercial" I would just have to clump all malt liquor. There isn't much I haven't tried, but based on just taste and overall lack of appeal, it would be malt liquors.

Well, I may not have time give the the Hacker-Pschorr another try, but I'm going back to visit Marinette on Monday. I've really wanted to make it further north where there is a really beautiful state park.

When I turned 21 I was stationed in Ft Hood, Tx. The first beer I ever bought was a case of Lone Star. I know some folks swear by it, but after 1 beer I gave the rest of the case away...

I bought a 12 pack from World Market that had 4 varieties of beer from around the world supposedly. It was packaged in a cool box and the bottles weren't screw off caps - Looked interesting. They all tasted the same and were terrible! The guy at the cash register was either stupid or lying because he said he had them and they were great. Maybe they were at one time but those things were bad. I actually threw them out which I think was a first for me.

 

[gmcapone]

After seeing so many people say Sam Adams cherry wheat, I'm kind of curious to try it lol
