FFA's Worst Beer - Round 1 - Heineken vs. the Rock (1 Viewer)

[flysack]

Battle of the green bottles. Euro trash vs. Pennsylvanian staple brew.

 

[Zow]

I actually like both these beers.

I have lost all faith in the FFA.

It's not going up against natural ice

It's terrible. Isn't that why it got a 1-seed?

Is price a factor? Six Rolling Rocks are better than four Heinekens

 

[quickhands]

I can see it now.iron city vs rolling rock or yuengling

 

[Koya]

These are almost the same swill masquerading as cool / hip / better than bud. They aren't. And bud absolutely sucks.

Hate to see one of these two not advance as they both taste like urine. Don't ask how I know.

I do not understand the hate for Heineken. I like Heineken, Grolsch, Becks, St. Pauli girl etc... How can you not love the subtle cannabis undertones?

 

[Dan Lambskin]

Heineken? #### that ####...Pabst Blue Ribbon

Backs is pretty good, Becks Dark ( the original recipe as I think it changed) was great when beer was still very limited in selection. Grolsch is meh at best... It's just a cool bottle thingy. I do like a nice St P from time to time.

But heiny is just that

This is why I voted Heineken. If your beer is going to suck at least be cheap.

 

[Koya]

Has there ever been a beer draft here?

:beer:

 

[Tackling Dummies]

How is Heineken not getting all the votes?

Fixed.

several, but no paint huffing draft yet

Don't recall. Then again I think the last draft I did was so long ago my pick of Mike Martz as special offensive assistant didn't seem so bad.

 

[Arsenal of Doom]

It's been a while since I had either, but I recall finding Rolling Rock semi-drinkable at one point.

poor choice for early matchup. they are similar.

i like them both. i fell in love with skunky pilsners early on.

props to heineken for being one of the earliest imports avalible in the u.s. .r.r is relatively new to these parts, so it is still sort of a novelty.

Here we agree - 180 degrees apart. I can't stand either and both would likely advance to the next round for me against just about any other beer.

 

[grateful zed]

heineken dark was the cult fav of my crowd back in the early 80's.

[SaintsInDome2006]

Heineken is not a bad beer - I've just had too much of it, so I voted for it because I just can't take it anymore. Same goes for RR but I've had less of it and like Heiney it's not a bad standby in a pinch. I voted for Heineken.

Yeah, but when you spend more for beer, it impresses the women. Are the hot chicks going to pick the guy with his Heine or with his Rocks in his hand?

 

[flysack]

Rules.

 

[flysack]

Can't vote against the nostalgia of cheap "6 rocks in a bucket" deals at college bars. Cheap six pack in a iron bucket packed with ice.

on second thought, it might be better to eliminate one early on for a better overall contest.

No schtick, I was the head brewmeister for Rolling Rock for a short time in the 90s.

True story. It was almost a full 24 hours, over a Sunday that they were not operating. (Fired some staff on a Friday, new guys didn't start til Monday. No operations over the weekend, when my buddy happened to be working the marina where one of the senior-executive-types was taking his boat out for the weekend. As a joking 'thank you' to my buddy, the senior-executive-type gave my buddy an honorary title at the brewery for the day. My buddy immediately named me as his head brewmeister. I no longer list this job on my resume.)

 

[The General]

I actually pick up a 6 of Rolling Rock every now and then.

Screw the beer snobs. Keystone Light is the official beer of our softball team and is consumed weekly during the spring-summer-fall. Cheap and drinkable and they come in a 30-pack!

 

[Spanky267]

I like both of these beers. Although if I have to choose I'll take Rolling Rock over Heineken.

 

[Cyclones]

Rock is drinkable when its cold and I am thirsty on a hot day.

Heineken is never drinkable at any point regardless of temperature or thirst. Hence, I voted for Heineken.

 

[dutch]

Heineken is the only beer I've ever tasted that is brewed to be intentionally skunked. Don't think I ever drank a bottle and thought it was clean or crisp or thirst-quenching or good. That stuff sucks and for $8.99 a sixer it's like being robbed when you checkout at the register.

RR, on the other hand, ain't bad and to me it's what Heineken wishes it were. Of course I drink the Green Light so that may be a difference as well. Price is right to boot.

 

[Wingnut]

How is Heineken getting more votes?

My guess is because it tastes much worse than RR. IMO its the worst big name beer on the planet. If its the only beer available, I stay sober.

It's not good enough for the beer snob, but too different for the average Joe.

They sell it in cans you know..

Heineken wins, 74-42.
