Not exactly vile, but terribly overrated in India - Kingfisher. I won’t refuse one, but it’s never my first/second/third… choice.
Corona - both times I had it, i hated it.
Heineken - blagh!! Same for Budweiser…
Guinness - vile
Weissbiers - hmm… ermm… inoffensive at best, i suppose.
The only beer I haven’t been able to finish is Busch Lite. I really tried…it was even my college days when one is supposed to be wild and experimental. But I just couldn’t do it.
Becks I don’t particularly like, either. Heineken…you know what? I used to hate it, but I swear that after I had one in Amsterdam I realized it’s actually a good beer. It seems to lose something in the export.
Pilsener Urquell is the greatest lager in the world. It helps if you have it on tap, and preferably in the Czech Republic or surrounding countries. I’m not being snobbish – they do taste different here vs. there.
Also, Fosters is Australian for piss.
Sam Adams is decent (the beer that got me into drinking), but the popular Pete’s Wicked brand is average at best, and I’m being generous here. Most of their stuff tastes pretty watered-down to me. Same with that Sierra crap.
Sadly, I do not covet barley or hops. Beer by any stretch is just funky. Y’all can swill them down to your heart’s content. I’ll sit here with a bottle of wine or a cuba libra while you have at it.
Sorry, Demo, but I don’t dig Sierra Nevada Pale Ale.
Also, someone out there is buying Rolling Rock, and they must be stopped. It’s like spam… obviously someone likes it, but no one will admit who. And if they stopped, it would finally just go away.
I hate Guiness.
Let me re-phrase that.
I hate the long time I have to wait while the barman pours a Guiness for someone else.
All I want is a pint of London Pride which when properly presented tastes like nectar of the gods.
That’s Danish. That’s stuffs got a lethal alcohol level. Chang Elephant beer (Chang is Thai for elephant) is a completely different thing. Not the best beer in Thailand, but there’s not so many choices there and it’s pretty cheap, so I suppose you could do worse.
Most American standard beers (Bud, Miller, Coors, etc) taste like water to me. Not bad if you’ve just run a race and need to re-hydrate, but not to drink for taste. Duvel, Leffe, Chimay are the Belgian ales most likely to grace the inside of my fridge. For German beers it’s whatever’s local. For English I kind of rotate. I don’t often drink Guiness (or any stouts), but all of this talk of them has put me in the mood. Who is it that makes a Chocolate Stout? That one was pretty nice for a pint.
MISTER BEER, the beer of REALLY poor college students.
Worst of all Heiniken, A skunked coors light at twice the price.
Any nut brown, just plain nasty.
Anything smoked, Sams Double Boch, 7.9% but god is it awful.
Coors light, and its cheap cousin, Keystone, ecchhh
Michelob Ultra, What a waste.
The good stuff,
In the summer, I love Blue Moon Belgian White Ale,
Winter, Petes Wicked Winter Brew.
Harpoon IPA, anytime,
Budweiser, daily.
