Worst Commercial Beer You've Ever Had?

[jgerard]

About 3 weeks ago Kroger had 18-packs of PBR on sale for $9.99. I bought one pack of bottles and one of cans (they only had one pack of bottles left). I had three bottles one evening, it didn't go down very well, and I felt terrible the next day. I took the beer back to the store for a refund, which I don't recommend, apparently I got lucky and actually got my money back.

That's strange, pbr is one of the best commecial brews imo. Id take ot over any bud miller or coors any day. Flavor, drunkenness and next day included.

yeah, pbr gets a 10 from me for what it is. if i'm drinking cold fizzy yellow beers its pbr.

i can do others too. i just view pbr as a little better than most.

clicked on it. it says carling not pabst. the only place i saw that called it pabst was BA (doesn't mean its not true). i don't care for their reviews any how. and thats not the same as the regular PBR if it is brewed by them.

sorry, lol. i'm not trying to be such a pbr advocate, just pointing stuff out.

Sure sure... *cough*hipster*cough*

I'll back you up on the PBR. There is a lot of it around here, "People's Beer of Richmond", and I'll occasionally go to it when the home brew runs out. Its ever so slightly better than bud/miller/coors.

 

[SoulBrew]

Blatz, blatz, blatz....

 

[jonmohno]

PBR is only limited to cool people.I heard you had to have a special id just to buy it.
I guess its not ok to call them Pabst Smears anymore. Or is it?Or isnt it? Or is it.... to be continued until next year.

That's funny as ****

 

[pigdog]

I thought everyone knew the rule, if you're drinking piss, it's Schaefer or nothing!
"it's the one beer to have, when you're having more than one!"

I'm pretty sure he was only saying it ironically.

I'm pretty sure he knew that.

I don't mind pbr, just another cheapo corn beer, there's a couple bars around me that keep it on tap after it regained popularity out of nowhere.

Heres a good use for it:

12oz PBR
2 packets zesty italian dressing mix
2 jars peperoncinis - juice, peppers and all
3lbs beef roast

Throw it in the crockpot and forget about it for 8 or more hours. Should shred on its own when done, serve it on buns with a white cheese. Gooooooood stuff!

Do we count high school? My mom grew up in Wisconsin, so Blatz swiped out of the 'fridge. Old Style (Dog Style), Stroh's (Shorts), Red White and Blue, Billy Beer (Jimmy Carter's brother took advantage of his bro being the pres.), Schlitz, Wisconsin Club ($2.99 a CASE in college), Hamms, Huber, Spudweiser, PBR (despite what the hipsters say), Busch...there's a good starter list, I'm sure I'll think of more as soon as I hit "post".

 

[RumRiverBrewer]

OK, already weighed in on Mich GD.... Actually Huber is the worst I've had since 1980..

 

[sheeshomatic]

Magic Hat Wacko. I've probably drank worse beers in general, but this one just creeps up on you. It builds this vile, vegetal awfulness as you sip it. Like fermented borscht. Somehow we wound up with a sixer of it at a party and I had one left in my fridge. That bottle kept winding up at various friends houses for their parties. Kind of like a hidden terrorist assassin. I think some poor soul drank it on Halloween this year...

I've had a love/hate relationship with Steel Reserve for quite awhile. When I was touring in a band and had next to no cash, it was what I drank when I got home. A few 24's, some fights on PPV, and some buddies to catch up with made for a fun night!

Those days have passed, and now, when I catch a whiff of old Steelie, it sorta makes me sick...like real sick, haha. I tried to drink it again recently, and I truly couldn't stomach it.

I also tried some Harpoon winter warmer the other night... Now, don't get me wrong, I'd never compare it to Steel Reserve, but it was pretty nasty. Overly malty, borderline cloying sweetness, with an obnoxious artificial spice overtone.... Definitely disappointed.

I'd have to say Fat Cat was the worst I've ever had. I love the can, but it's dreadful..

I do a very similar recipe minus the beer and dressing mix.

Cave Creek's Chili,Beer would have to be the most undrinkable. Though, I guess I couldn't call it bad. I'm sure it's a fine example of what it is meant to be. The worst would have to be Shipyard's Pumpkinhead. There's no body and no malt backbone to speak of; just an overwhelming artificial cinnamon flavor.

 

[spazzy]

Wild Blue, I picked one up in a mixer 6er and the label drew my eye. It tasted like steel reserve mixed with blueberry abomination. Hands down the worst beer ever

 

[Cheshire_Cat]

Another nod to Crazy Horse. Got some at party as I "secret santa" gift. Was pretty pleased since I was under 21. The stuff is vile. I think I saw it at the liqure store for $1.99 for a 40. Old E is up there, my college roommates go to favorite. Lastly the plain wrap beer my friends bought for a big party. Even at 17 when I thought coors light and bud dry where the best thing since sliced bread I couldn't get that stuff down.

 

[porterguy]

Well, Leinikeugels berry wheat fruit-loops beer or whatever it was called. F-ing worst beer in history.

Fixed- the only beer I ever poured 5 out of 6 down the drain. My sister-in-law brought them and had (part of) one. After trying to give them away to guests for six months, we finally decided it was a waste of space and dumped them.

 

[PanzerBanana]

There are two for me. That one Chili beer that has the pepper in it. Nasty just tastes and smells like pickles.

The other would be Sam Adams' Blackberry Witbeir. Tastes like perfume to the point that it even has a soapy character. *blech* And I actually like flower flavored things. Though after it sat for a couple of months it did become more palatable.

A couple years ago, I was invited to a party at my supervisor's house. Apparently her church had had some sort of charity event that they had several kegs of beer at, and she had graciously volunteered to take the leftover, untapped keg home. At her party, we had all brought beer, not knowing that she intended to surprise her employees with a keg, so we left it untapped. When my supervisor went on vacation 3 days later, I inherited the still untapped keg ("Here, you're Canadian, so you probably know what to do with this"). Free keg of beer? Hell yes, I know what to do with that. Unbeknownst to me, it was Miller Light. And by this point it had been unrefrigerated in Florida for the better part of a month. I brought it home, put it in a barrel of ice, invited some friends over, put hockey on TV, got out a bunch of pint glasses and prepared to do what one would do with a free keg of beer.... Long story short - after choking down 3-4 hard-fought pints apiece, we put about 3/4 of the keg down the drain and bought a case or 2 of Newcastle...

Moral of the story: There is no such thing as a free keg of beer.
