Worst Commercial Beer You've Ever Had?

[CreamyGoodness]

Worst I ever had was miller lite from a keg at a wedding.
eee gats horrible.

Normal miller lite carbonated like a sprite is retched stuff.

I am also NOT a fan of any bud product.

sam adams cran lambic makes my gag reflex come up even now.

Last wedding I was at they made one of the normal catering guys "bartend". He pumped the keg and pumped the keg and pumped the keg. I think he thought they more he pumped the better it would be.

Everything was pure foam.

Yikes, that's rough. It's situations like those that make me wish I carried my flask more often...

Sam Adams Bonfire Rauchbier got it two years ago in their fall seasonal package..

I about gagged.. I thought it had to be a joke. Who the heck would want a beer that tastes like your licking rainwater off a overly cooked side of ribs on a put out bonfire..? It tastes like my clothes smelt after a weekend in the woods (which is NOT good).

Maybe some like that kind of stuff.. IF You got some overly SWEET BBQ, I can see where in that ONE case it would be a drinkable beer.

I like High Life too!!

I'd be seriously discomfited drinking beer brewed in a place called Placentia...

Uh oh, don't open the door to the placenta beer thread...

Enh, consider it part of your experience in branching out to different styles. I absolutely hated rauch bier the first time I tried one, and now I love the style. Sour beers, if I had tried one around that same time, would have met with a similar dislike. If you want, you could try going to a bar that specializes in off the wall beers (at least by most standards) and ask them if you can try several Flemish style ales or which ones they would recommend.

Or not, you could leave it and come back to it when, and if, you're ready to try again.

I'm on board for that, I'm still trying to learn to love single malt whisky one pricey bottle at a time...

Game Day. it was like $3 a 12pk at grocery outlet and tasted like they were bottling the sludge out of the floor drains. I took one sip, then forbid anyone else to drink it... can't believe they got away with selling that garbage water.

Apparently my tastes are not yet properly refined. The reviews were just raving for this one. I clearly didn't understand the style and I focused on the "Red Ale Aged in Oak Barrels" - and missed the significance of "Flanders Style".

I was prepared for tart, but not for the complexity that laid before me. Perhaps this is more of a FAIL tale on my part, but ewww.

I gotcha.. One day I was enjoying an amazing glass of Russian River Consecration, and thought to myself "I've got to let my wife try this.". She was actually genuinely upset she hated it that bad. She said it should be named "Constipation" lol.. Sour beers are not for the uninitiated, but when you like them they're REALLY good. Unlike any other beverage.

That's bitch slap worthy.

Well if that's the crutch you must bear...

 

[shizzy77]

King Fisher Premium Lager.

I had it ad an upscale, top notch Indian restaurant. I was in an Indian place and the beer came out of India. Even Ice cold, I could hardly choke it down.

 

[Ailstock]

Widmerbrothers Dark Saison. The worst beer I've ever had.

I really didn't mean it like that, I buy whisky for my wife who loves it. I just struggle a bit.

It is quite possible it was improperly stored and had gone skunky.. Had that happen to a few beers I love.

OK, that is the worst thing, ever.

I agree, tastes like medicine beer aged in a steel vat, gross.

 

[crushingblackdoom]

Without question!

Dang! I've had a bomber of that sitting cold for almost a year now. There had to be some reason we haven't drunk it yet. I'm not scared, by any means, I just brew damn good beer and plenty of it, so, I just never get around to opening that bastard. My wife wanted to buy it because of the pink painted bottle. We were on a lil trip to Astoria so... It's sort of a souvenir, i guess. Even though we live in Portland. ****!

 

[Craigmn]

I didn't think the voodoo was that bad, it wasn't a beer I would want to drink regularly but I'm glad I tried it because it's different.

My wife hates beer and loves sour beers so that gives me an excuse to expand my pallet.

The worst beer I think I have ever had was the widmer brrrr. I couldn't drink more than a single sip.

 

[herc1354]

MGD, I think paint thinner would taste better. IMO most of the swill that Sam Adams brews, I like their Boston Lager but feel most of their other beers fall way short of what I would expect that brewery to come up with.

Oy vey. That was one of my favorites a few years back. I guess it takes all kinds!

 

[Clonefan94]

Worst beer I ever had was "Black Label" beer. Not the Generic "BEER" but the actual name brand "Black Label." Picked up a 12 pack when I was in college and low on funds. It literally tasted like beer flavored water. It's the only beer that I just tossed after having a couple drinks from the first one. No one needs to catch a buzz that bad.

 

[Bierliebhaber]

Pretty much the entire standard line from Bridgeport. Their IPAs taste like lawn clippings and Kingpin red is nearly intolerable.

 

[cknittle]

Rogues voodoo banana peanut butter whatever the F it is. I actually thought it was the bacon maple, cause of the same pink bottle, saw that everyone said it was gross, had to decide for myself. Well, didn't realize it was banana, but still disgusting.

 

[stikks]

Meisterbrau,hands down.

Cheers

 

[chalkboardbrewer]

Gallo from Guatemala. tasted like corn and grass. I couldn't even finish it. But the 22oz bottle is really nice.

 

[mike_in_ak]

Rainier Beer. So, so bad. But some people up in the NW live on that stuff. I bought a 12 pack and ended up giving the remaining 11 to my brother in law.

That stuff is pretty much currency in the more remote parts of AK. Don't know why they picked Rainier. Don't know why America picked the dollar either, though.
