The first one on the list that I’ve tried is the Cave Creek Chili Beer. Good God, did that suck!
It scares me to think that there are 13 beers that are worse.
I liked Bud Dry. Then again, I’ve had way too many of the beers on that list. They should have a price index, I bet it’s telling.
I am ashamed to say, I have dramk 13 of them. :eek: I have mended my ways. A trip to Germany helped me see the light about sucky beers.
However I want to know , why no Keystone? I don’t know anyone who can drink it and it doesn’t go through them like a bullet train. There are much worse than what is listed, but they are probably not big enough sellers for the list.
I am so disappointed that neither Grain Belt or Wisconsin Ace, those low price standards for the impecunious mid 1960s college student, did not make the list. Maybe they were so bad they went out of business. As I recall Grain Belt came only in quart bottles – which give you a hint of its target market.
That’s kind of a lame list though… probably 1/2 of them are the alcohol-free versions of normal beer. Of course they’re going to taste terrible!
Hey…I like Busch. Very cold on a hot day.
But then…any beer very cold…on a hot day is good.
I see Old Style isn’t on the list. 51.
Personally, I prefer Stella Artois and Murphy’s Red (formerly Amber) for a good solid beer.
Harp when mixed with Guiness (can’t stomach the sludge otherwise)
and Good Ol’ MGD if I’m lookin for a snootful.
Oh, gods! I’m agreeing with Reeder again! I like a cold Busch sometimes…something about the corn flavor that just calls to me once and awhile. But I gotta agree with bump, low-alcohol versions shouldn’t be on the list. I’m kinda surprised thet Silver Bullets aren’t on the list…but they are my first choice for hot day/cold beer.
Wait a minute…
Do my eyes decieve me?
Reeder Openly admits to liking Bush?
Wait’ll I tell the crowd in the Pit.
I do like the “good” beer reviews on that site. The descriptive creativity gives oenophiles a run for their money.
Wow…Busch Lite is the 47th worst, while Busch is #36? I’ve only had Busch Lite once or twice, and it triggered the gag reflex in me. I shudder to think what Busch must taste like then.
But, no, the absolute worst beer I’ve tasted was this novelty beer (at least I hope it was a novelty beer) I had in Russia. Some mad brewer decided to butress beer’s hoppy and malty flavors with almonds (okay, not a terrible idea) and … basil. Yes. Basil. Almond and basil beer. Why anyone thought it would be a good to mix the great tastes of pesto and lager together, I will never know.
Also missing:
Rhinelander
Hamms
Pabst Blue Ribbon
Red White & Blue
Lone Star
Special Export
As for Grain Belt, I’ve had that in 12 oz bottles, cans, & on tap. There was even a Grain Belt Premium.
I can’t wait till the next time I see my Bud Light-drinking friend (we always tell him we’ll provide beer if he comes over, but if he wants Bud Light, he’ll have to bring his own) - now I can tell him he drinks the 40th worst beer in the world!
Premium? Really? What did they do, have a healthy horse piss in it?
I get all nostalgic thinking about all the dead and gone cheap beers from my salad days. Next thing you will tell me that Heubner’s is defunct.
BBK, the local beer from Kaiserslautern is not on the German list, but the list looks like it is primarily hoitie-toitie small batch breweries not the huge local factories that turn out thousands of gallons a day and are favorites in the town and village gasthaus(s) and bier stubes. You can tell what beer is popular and cheap by looking in the day laborers’ lunch satchels.
Huh.
I’m disappointed by the neglect of some of Canada’s crappy beers.
Kokanee is one of the worst beers I’ve ever actually swallowed, and I see that they’ve rated it as 2/5. On the other hand, Budweiser is worse and it didn’t make the cut.
There are really fifty beers worse than Molson Canadian?
I’m really saddened by the lack of classic Upstate New York old man beers such as Utica Club, Genesee Cream Ale and Koch’s Golden Anniversary. Things were not better in the good 'ol days, despite what some retired steelworker-type might tell you.
I like Busch, too. As Slate says, it is the best value-for-taste beer around.
I’ve had Grain Belt Premium once, but never Grain Belt. The Premium tasted like they took MGD and poured three ounces of corn syrup in it. It made Jolly Ranchers seem salty by comparison.
