Nominate Your Worst Beer Here (1 Viewer)

[Zow]

Regarding the hackstein, it sold for 3.97 a case when I was in college ten years ago. It was so bad that we played a game with it: six of us had to drink a case during the course of one Tarantino movie. The guy who didn't drink his share had to buy the next case and the game had to be re-played. It was so awful we finally just quit.

so you tapped out trying to drink four bad beers in two hours? you guys were animals.

That's how ####### terrible it was. Broke college guys who love beer couldn't even get it down.

Compare this to someone coming back with a case of Busch light. Or a keg of high life. Stuff wouldn't have lasted an hour.

 

[flysack]

Is it too late to nominate Busch Light?

You shut your whore mouth.

I remember thinking Busch Light was the absolute worst back in college when I was regularly drinking different varieties of cheap garbage beer.Steel Reserve might not taste great (or even decent really), but at least it got the job done unlike all these other ##### sub-5% ABV beers. It was my beer of choice for awhile before I got into craft beer.

That Camo Black Ice looks truly awful, but again at 10.5% ABV, I'm willing to give it a little more leeway on taste than a 4.2% ABV Busch Light.

It would be kind of interesting to do a blind taste test of all of these beers and see how many people can pick out their BMC brand of choice.

My brothers and I did a "worst beer in America" blind taste-off to do exactly what you mention. However, I am not going to tell you people about it.

EG is being such a cocktease in this thread.

Hey... blame Flysack. I warned him, no stories in this thread unless Bud and Miller High Life were removed, he blatantly put them in. What can I do now? THERE MUST BE CONSEQUENCES !!!!!!!!!!!!

I got rid of Miller High Life.

But Bud....well, take it up with the peoples and their hate.

I know a lot of people love it but the worst beer I've ever tasted is Franzikaner.

 

[grateful zed]

this is a dumb topic. the fact is if you were stuck on a desert island and someone showed up with ANY beer, you would drink it and love it.

best beer is a better poll.

Here's one where I must be missing the boat because this stuff is so old and so popular: Leinenkugel.I really want to like it because of the age and the idea of it... but it just doesn't strike me as any good.

And most especially Leinenkugel Summer Shandy.

There are no dumb topics. Just dumb people making unresponsive posts.

Wow. Both the hefe and dunkel are outstanding, and the hefe in a can is my favorite summertime beach beer.

Trader Joe's house beer Simpler Times is beyond awful

Came here to post this. I gave a 6er to a buddy, told him it was high end stuff TJ's sold. He was all happy until he took a swig. Laughing now just thinking about the face he made. Thought he was gonna boot.

I'm drinking one of these now. It's really not that bad after a couple bottles of wine.

I've had plenty of bad beers, but the only name I can think of right now is Heineken.

I can't believe this exists. Wow.

It has to have been short lived, right? No way that survived longer than a year on the market.

Not sure. It was out about 5 years ago. We had to pay one of our buddies to try one, he couldn't finish it.

None of them made the list, guy.

That Clamato stuff would have been a top seed for sure though.

Not getting the Honey Brown hate. Sure it isn't great, but my college pub served HB bottles for a buck back in the day and they weren't that bad. Better than the other crap mentioned.

The poll thing seems like a lost cause. Out of the first four polls, I haven't tried four of the beers.

Leinenkugels has a few good beers. The sunset wheat is nice. https://leinie.com/Beers.aspx#sunsetwheat

It's a wit and kind of a Blue Moon taste with more coriander.

I admit I would fail a blind BMC taste test.

Except PBR. I would know that delicious nectar.

Might guess High Life too, from the carbonation.

Hate to tell you this, but something very similar lives on here:

Anheuser-Busch's marketing story is that beer drinkers had been mixing Bud Light Lime into margaritas to create "beer ritas," so the company decided to simplify the process. "Lime-a-Rita just adds a new level of convenience by providing a beverage with the perfect balance of flavors," he says.

Anyone remember the generic beer?

Back in the days of white packaging with black letters of what it was. Some of the "generic" stuff wasn't too bad, but beer was not one of them.

Oh come on with the shandy. No way you'd choose some camo ice type swill over it. Just no way.

 

[pollardsvision]

Never had the pre-mixed Bud Clamato thing, but I thoroughly enjoy a Bloody Beer.

Any piss beer and tomato juice product is fine, including Bud and Clamato. Not gonna pay to get it pre-mixed in a can though.

Back in So Cal in the 80s I remember Ralph's (I believe...maybe Albertsons though) had what everyone called plain wrap...white packaging with a blue stripe...here's what their beer looked like:http://imageshack.com/a/img706/3200/mg26.jpg

I also remember the black labeling but dont remember who sold this:

Maybe, maybe not. Of my memory, the only non-IPA that I would say is definitely worse is Abita Purple Haze. It sure as hell deserves to be in the conversation longer than the Coors, Budweiser, Millers of the world.

 

[Wingnut]

I'll take a Purple Haze over any BMC beer evey time.

Well I think this would have made a fine bracket pairing.

 

[culdeus]

Any flavored beer falls in a different category, that goes for clamato/haze/tequiza etc.

 

[pollardsvision]

This is such a wonderful topic. Not only have most not tried more than about half of the available nominees, there will never be any agreement on how to define "worst".

They ways to define it may include, but aren't limited to:

-Not enough flavor

-Too much hop flavor

-Too much malt flavor

-Some stupid fruity flavor

-Lack of stupid fruity flavor

-It's called "Ice" and marketed towards poor people

-It's called "malt liquor" and marketed towards poor people

This is almost as fun as arguing over which is the best burger chain with people who haven't tried the same options.

I love Purple Haze. My favorite beer.

Schaefer is just awful. Cheap, terrible. Drank some in college. The only beer I've ever had that got worse the more you drank. Just awful swill...

 

[grateful zed]

red beers are common drinks for early morning people with hangovers.

canadians started using clamato instead of tomato in bloody marys and called them 'caesars'.

then trend translated into red beers which require a beer with little flavor, i.e. bud lite.

i drink them and add tobasco, worsh, celery salt and lime, which in mexico is called a 'chillada'.

i had two last night.

the busweiser version sold over the counter is nasty and has a perfumy aftertaste.

 

[Spike]

Gotta be a tie between Golden Anniversary and Golden Anniversary Light.

Not only where they awful, but you really feel awful the next day.
