Worst Commercial Beer You've Ever Had?

[spearko520]

in pa, when someone shoots a perfect inning we do shots...

 

[BargainMugs]

We had some guesses, but no one in my office was close.

Someone said 3 rounds of the 3 wisemen. I could see someone getting kicked out after that.

I recently had a brew from 3 flyod's (which usually puts out some pretty solid beers). The beer I had from them is called "big stache". Tasted it a group tasting...and it was awful. I'm shocked that they would bottle something like that. It's a sour beer and I'm a big sour beer fan but this beer was undrinkable. taste/smell of nail polish (acetone) was over powering. The only other thing I could get out of the beer was pickle juice. It burned my nostrils.

Don't drink this beer if you see it....my first drain pour ever...and I've had a lot of less than stellar homebrew and commercial beers...

Does anyone remember Wisconsin Club Light? This was an awful beer, but like most of the awful beers of our youth, it's redeeming value was price. Circa 1981 a case of returnable long necks was 3.50 ! The deposit on the bottles was almost as much as the beer. If you were stupid enough to hold them up to the light, often as not you could see $hit floating in there. To quote Mr. Seeger,"Wish I didn't know now, what I didn't know then".

Speaking of sour beers, I know it's probably been mentioned before, but Sam Adams Cranberry "Lambic" is just terrible. I did drain pour that one. It's so awful it's hurting my brain to recall how awful it was. Good sweet lord baby Jesus, why did you allow that creation to happen?

 

[spearko520]

i thought those sam adams cran lams tasted pretty nice- especially the following year...

 

[kman6234]

A lot of people love it but I thought Southern Tier's Pumpking was really gross. It had such an artificial taste to it I couldn't finish the bottle.

Worst beer for me has to be XX lager. Not a bad tasting beer, just no flavor. It reminded me of Pellegrino sparkling water and that, in my book, qualifies as one of the worst beers.

my brother still has a sixer of billybeer that we got at a yardsale when we were little kids. he refuses to let me sample from it

 

[beerlover19]

Probably Beer Speciale from Tesco, that stuff is awful..

 

[westconsin]

I once blacked out from two steel reserves. that was probably the worst thing i've ever drank in my life. i thought i was dying the next day

Boston beer company or Boston beer works?

Boston beer company. I called it Boston brewing company by mistake. Pretty much Anything with the Sam Adams name is wretched skunk piss to my taste buds.

 

[spearko520]

really?

 

[JoeyChopps]

+1 Haha don't feed the troll

 

[skimo281]

Lol I don't know why so many people hate Sam Adams...I'll never get tired of their Boston lager. I'm not sure what the worst beer I've had to date is...I'm not a beer snob yet but me and my friends drank some expired and hot lonestar back in high school which is the only beer I can remember not being able to finish

 

[WhiskeySam]

I love Sam Adams, don't get me wrong. I have some problems with their homebrew competition that ends up taking the work of a homebrewer and turning it over to the Sam Adams brewery for 5,000 dollars (The Irish Red was a homebrew recepie, for example).

But for the most part, Sam Adams makes some of the best mass produced beer in America. It's just that cranberry lambic abortion.... holy Shiva it's terrible. It's worse than the worst news story on your TV tonight.

Ok Here's mine.

I was camping/ fishing/ drinking with my younger brother. It was an epic weekend, swamped the boat, somehow lost a chainsaw, and wrecked a truck, but that's another tale....

Anyhow we had a pile of bush beer and rainier beer mixed in a couple of coolers outside, along with the two bottles of mitchers I kept in the tent, Ya he has no taste. The first night the bears came, they drank every one of the bush beers and there wasn't a single rainier touched... not one.

I had to drive 30 miles to town to get some bud, I couldn't drink that crap either.

If you passed out after two and felt like you were dying the next day it definitely wasnt the beer. No doubt, Steel Reserve is cheap adjunct lager, but there is nothing toxic about it (well the EtOH is toxic, but no more toxic than that found in any other alcoholic beverage).

I pretty sure he was refering to the hangover. And he's right malt liqour gives the worst hangovers ever

Skunked Corona Light has to be up there

Someone who recognizes the taste of skunk piss...is someone whose opinion I don't need.

 

[Daydrew]

Worst beer ive ever had?

Im going to have to go with Sapporo - we just picked this up to try it. Tasted like an old expired can of natty ice. Could have had a bad one, but either way I wont drink it again.

 

[rifraf]

All the 5 Lizard, 5 Rabbit, 5 Vulture, etc beers. Not sure the name, they're just coming out in my area. People are loving them but all almost taste like they were made from beer concentrate. Flavors all seem artificial to me, ESPECIALLY the 5 Lizard one that has coriander.

 

[lnhoskins]

I've had a lot of crap, and this may be surprising to some, but miller lite is terrible. Everyone I've ever had has been flat and virtually flavorless. What flavor was there was terrible. I'd rather drink water... With scotch...

 

[landshark]

Would have to say Red Stripe is the worst I have ever had. It was so bad I had to pour it out, which is something I typically would never do. I thought I could finish everything, but that one, no.

Heineken was bad, but I could finish it at least. Lot of lighter beers like Keystone and Natty I can drink as it seems like I am drinking water. I bought a 6er of PBR once just to try a "horrible beer" and found I preferred it to Budweiser. Same when I tried a Schlitz, was pleasantly surprised by the flavor. It's not Bud Light for sure. Maybe why people hate it.

Red Strip wins though. Horrible stuff.

 

[CreamyGoodness]

I almost forgot. In college I made a pork loin with corriander cream sauce... and washed it down with a 20oz of St. Ides. I dont remember it tasting that badly, but I do remember the pork (as well as my shoes) coming up an hour later.

I literally prayed for death after 45 minutes.

 

[BasementBrewmistress]

Star Hill Festie Beer. Gross. Smelled godawful and tasted worse...like skunky fermented rotting gym socks. Truly vile.

 

[CreamyGoodness]

I dont know if I trust an Imperial's opinion on ale or mead... :fro:

Ha! When I was a kid I loved St. Ides. But I had a rough first go of 'er. Used to drinking 8-12 beers and achieving a nice, even drunkeness, so I thought 2 40's of St. Ides would do just nicely, and the price was right. I was not familiar with malt liquor. I drank the 2 40's in 20-30 minutes, or so I was told.

Went to a wet dry event on campus a little while later. They wanted my ID, I got confused, said just a minute and went to a bank machine to grab a 20. Tried to pay cover for what was a free event. Somehow they stamped my hand appropriately and I kept drinking. Frosh week! Hahahahaha!
