:mug: Well I think you can remember these easier than you can the many that you have enjoyed!

In no particular order:
Corona-havent' drank one that wasn't skunked
Beamish Irish Stout-cheap boilermaker?
Some Pineapple Hefe from Hawaii-yuck
I've drank some that are pushing my hops tolerance.
Now I always get a little taste before I fork out good money on something I don't want to drink!:mug:
 
Oh, this one is easy. I've only had one kind of beer that was just too bad to drink. It was Stoney's (and you young guys will never have heard of it). There old jingle was "Roll out the Stoney's, that's why I'm here."

I drank them all back in the day. I went to college at the University of Pittsburgh and I drank Iron City, Genny Cream Ale, Reading Premium, Blatz, and a bunch of others that were cheap and easy to come by. We used to swing by the Original (aka the Dirty O) on Forbes Avenue and pick up whatever was a buck and a quarter for a six or a buck forty of a six of 16s.

Stoney's was the exception. It was undrinkable even to those burned out taste buds.

The Original was quite a place. One time, a buddy of mine, without even looking, stepped over a guy laying in a pool of blood to walk in. I grabbed him in mid-step and pulled him back; we went elsewhere. True story as God is my witness.

Dixie Beer. Great name, horrible taste, aftertaste and even smell. After drinking, it seems to coat your teeth and tongue with some horrible substance.
 
AB's Hurricane High Gravity Lager - HORRID!

For the same effect, dump two shots of vodka into a Bud Light, then chew on some aluminum foil to get the aftertaste.
 
when i first tried hienikin i about threw up. however, i've since become tolarant of it. I'll have a PBR if i'm drinking swill. however, natural ice is among the horrible. the top of hte heap is easily steel reserve! the ****ing 211 is dangerous and horrible. bad combo! i used to drink the **** out of Iron City back in the day. it had this biscut/victory malt flavor that was nutty as anything!
 
Taiwan Beer. Years ago I was working for an import company and there were 2 cases of it stashed in the nose of a pier container. The bottles that weren't skunked tasted like sweet carbonated water.

A buddy of mine and I split the two cases, but we later found out that is was smuggled in for one of the company's buyers. He never knew who nabbed it, but he ranted and raved over it for months.
 
Sierra Light. I remember having it in college, it was $7 for a 30 pack. It was flat as soon as you opened it. Coors light a close second.
 
I had a Grolsch one time that was skunk city. Absolutely the worst beer I've ever had. It was a big flip top too, but I was too beer dumb to dump it. I would have chucked it immediately now.
 
The Olde English Family of (what they call) Beer
Keystone , any of them
and the topper of them all IMHO
White Label with "Beer" in black lettering $4.50 per case (back in the day)

right now I am thinking of putting "Black Dog Ale" on there
$9.00 a sixer and it is Skunked
 
Ignoring all of BMC, I'd say it was the Rockbottom cask-conditioned Red I had in Denver. First craft beer I dumped.
 
Can't believe it's taken this long for someone to mention the object of so much ire. I speak, obviously, of:

Rolling Skunk!

It's like they took Heiny, which is already skunk juice, and aged it in the hot Brazillian sun for a month. The fact that this horrid skunk junk is still being produced and consumed is a rather depressing testament to the brilliance of ad agencies. They've created this brand identity that is based entirely on a green bottle with "special" white screenprinted lettering and something about latrobe and glass tanks. That's it.

Until Stella came along, it was what people who didn't like "real" beer, but didn't want to be seen as a BMC-drinking plebe, usually drank. That or Heiny...but RR has a distinct following because of its brand identity. Gawd, give me a 40 of OE over that crap ANY day.
 
My most *gaggin moment* was St. Pauli Girl back when we were drinking coors in highschool. We decided to drink some Good Beer one night. Haven't tried it since. Blatz is about the worst since I've learned to appreciate real beer. Got a can in a wedding gift from my old history teacher as a joke. it's all the guy drinks.
 
Pearl... The only beer I could not get down even when smashed.... And I have put down my fair share of swill

Lone Star, the only place its tollerable is sitting in a tube on a river wetting yourself for 8 hours at a time

(I'll get flamed for this)yuengling lager... Tried it when I was on the east coast for a conference, I thought it was pretty vile. Tasted almost exactly what you would imagine a sweaty armpit would. Don't know if I got a bad batch, but it will take a lot to convince me to try it again.

Natty light/ice *Shudder*
 
I'm at Uni of Delaware...

Beast Light is the worst IMO
Natty is like water
PBR is gross
Bud Light is horrible
If i gotta drink crap, I'll drink Miller Lite or Keystone
