Worst Beer You've Ever Had... (1 Viewer)

Cave Creek Chili Beer and Steel Reserve (both mentioned on page 1) are both on my list.  

Also Mamma Mia Pizza Beer (not really unexpected, I have to admit).

 
Oh come on.  At 67 cents a case, you couldn't beat RW&B beer.  And I don't remember Meister Brau being that bad.  Pabst Blue Ribbon was pretty nasty, though.  
I don't care how many hipsters drink Pabst; it's still awful beer.  

 
Have had many of these mentioned in my cheap 20's like Steel Reserve, Natty Ice, Milwakee's Beast, etc. Was traveling in the Netherlands and Belgium one time and tried lots of great beers, but there was one of the local Trappist brewery's... good god, tasted like pure Soy Sauce, just gross.

For some reason Shiner Bock decided to start making all these crazy varietals to keep up with all the trendy beers/breweries. Some people must like it because they still sell it, but Shiner Black tastes like a bottle of liquid smoke to me, awful. And I love dark beers like Stout's, etc.

 
Mickey Malt Liquor is on my list.  not only do I hate the taste but I drank 10-12 one night in college and then took a turn too sharp hit a curb and blew out the front end of my 280Z.  My car would not drive so I took off running and left it there. The Ann Arbor police came to my apartment 2 blocks away looking for me and I was next door. Went the next day and had to pay 150.00 for a towing charge and then another 100 to get it towed again but that was much cheaper than a DUI.  Have not had a Mickeys since.

Had Sierra Nevada Tropical Torpedo this weekend, and that's up there.  I like citrusy ales and IPAs.  This was totally awful and tastes nothing like Torpedo or even an IPA.

wtf seriously? it's a decent session IPA. 

 
I went to Pittsburgh to see an AFFC game with some friends that live there.  For obvious reasons I decided that I needed to drink IC and I thought it would be a good excuse to say "Ahrn" all night.  They were nice enough to get me a whole case, and told me they expected me to finish it before the game started (it was Saturday night).

I was proudly throwing back ICs for the first few hours, trying to make up for years of being deprived local PITT beer, when I noticed that no one else at the party was drinking from my stash.  My first thought was that they were leaving it all for me - how nice of them.  Then it hit me about an hour later, a wicked 12-hour ####in headache like no other, and that's when I realized why no one was drinking this schwill .  Like most beer-induced headaches I figured I could drink it off, so of course I kept slamming ICs until I "decided" to sleep on the toilet seat.  When I woke up my headache was ten times worse and I remember looking in the mirror and not caring that I had pubs from the toilet seat plastered on my face because at that point I was ready to die. I'm usually up to most challenges but I just couldn't finish that case.  Ended up drinking Bud Light the day of the game and it felt like I was drinking a fine wine...

I'm not sure it was the worst-tasting beer I've ever had, but IC definitely took the biggest toll on my body of any beer I've ever consumed, so it gets my vote.

 
They do. About a year ago my wife drank some, and broke out in hives the next day, had to see a doctor.
I can't recall the last time ive seen it anywhere. Was sort of trendy in early 2000s but was horrible.  And still is. Its like an American knockoff of how Heineken tastes after sitting on a dock in Houston for 3months. 

 
 Surprised no one has mentioned Olympia yet- the "tumwater". Yeah, more like tubwater. At four bucks a case way back when in high school, our group of burgeoning alcoholics chose sobriety. Ended up dumping half the case down the drain just for our 10 cent (Michigan) deposit.

This about sums up how bad iron city is.  

Rolling Rock is about the same in the way it affects me with instant headache and the most gawd awful gas/poop smell the next morning

Oh come on now this beer is great. I haven't heard one person that didn't like they way it taste. 

 
Probably, and the reason i say that is indont remember how bad cherry wheat was but i do remember how gawd awful the cranberry lambic was.
that makes sense.  i haven't had the lambic but am surprised at how bad the cherry wheat was.  I genuinely like the majority of Sam Adams products but the Cherry Wheat tasted like Cherry cough syrup mixed with soap. 

 
Tie between Amstel Light, Heineken and Budweiser.   My friends failed, skunked attempt at home brew in college a distant fourth.

It's sold in liquor stores and bars around here (northern MD).

Remember Rolling Rock's old "pony" bottles? Contained 7 fl.oz. They had Rolling Rock's traditional "33" on the painted label, and we convinced a friend it meant that if you drank 33 of them you were "in the Rolling Rock club." He got 29 down. He was a gullible guy. I convinced him once that turkeys bore their young alive.

 
When I was in high school, a case of Piel's Light bottles was $5.88 -- it wasn't good.

As far as bad beer goes, Stone Crime and Stone Punishment were awful -- chile pepper beers with WAY too much heat. IMO most chile beers suck unless they are a very minor background player in a big sweet adjunct stout.

Smoked beer / Rauchbier is disgusting IMO.

3 Floyd's Bully Guppy is notorious for being one of the worst beers ever. I had a tiny pour at a Dark Lord day share and couldn't swallow it. Literally tasted like someone mixed vomit and nail polish remover together and bottled it. Easily the most disgusting thing I've ever had in my mouth.

ETA -- Cherry wheat absolutely sucked too, good call upthread.

Perfect example of just how subjective taste is. You hate Rauchbier, I left Munich during Oktoberfest and drove 3 hours to Bamberg just to drink Aecht Schlenkerla Marzen hand-drawn from a wooden cask right at the source. It was magnificent (as was the Bamberg Onion - Google it if you're unfamiliar.)

I can definitely see how cooking with rauchbier would be awesome. Drinking it though  :X  -- tastes like liquid smoke.

 
Miller.  Plain, old Miller (not Lite).

I have even periodically done the blind taste test and I can pick it out every time.  Disgusting.

 
Also, Golden Anniversary and Golden Anniversary Light (back in, I think, the '80s) were a bit horrific due to the gastrointestinal delights to be had the next day after partaking.

Count me in with @Evilgrin 72 on the :thumbup:  side of this debate.  If it's reasonably fresh (about the best you can hope for stateside) it's like drinking bacon.

I don't recall the exact edition, but there was one year (maybe the last) of Stone Vertical Epic that smelled like old lady perfume. MUCH worse than Magic Hat.

Fair enough. I love the stuff. Such is the nature of taste preference.

 
Love sours, personally. Particularly fruited long sours aged in wood. Mmmmm...

And yeah, everyone's palate is different. Hell, my personal tastes have changed a ton over the years.
My youngest brother despises sours but loves Rauchbier. 

My other brother dislikes Rauchbier but digs sours.

I love them both. There's not a single style of beer I don't thoroughly enjoy. 

I imagine the average beer drinker in America most likely wouldn't care for either. 

It's a good thing, otherwise certain beer styles would either completely dominate the marketplace or would be very expensive/difficult to obtain. 

And Steel Reserve sucks.

I have a good amount of friends that love it too.  Not for me, but whatever your poison, it all has the same end effect.   :thumbup:

 
Just about any craft beer I try.   90% of them are undrinkable swill.

Guinness for name beers.
