I’ve heard tuberculosis is pretty rough, but, Coors light in a can. I’m sorry. Basically, this all stems from a show I played on Monday. We were greated with the free beer fridge, which no self-respecting gentleman of my demeanor would refuse. I open said fridge and, lo and behold, Coors Light! Determined to not actually _pay_ for liquor, I broke down and had my Coor Light. In a can. Then I had another. It was at this point I noticed the vague taste of cat urine in my mouth, yet, I hadn’t been drinking cat urine. Not Monday, at any rate. Here’s my point. And my question. Can you honestly name a worse beer than Coors Light in a can? Really? Shouldn’t it be at the absolute bottom of the beer hierarchy? Coors’s entire ad campaign is based on hot twins (yawn) and the fact that their beer is COLD. REALLY COLD. So, apparently, they have refrigerators. Do your best and name your worst. ---

It’s close, but I’m going to have to go with Milwaulkee’s Best. Just vile. Coors is pretty godawful, though. ---

I see your Milwaukee’s Best and raise you a Natural Light. How about a side bet with Indiana’s finest swill “Drummon Bros.?” Mule piss I tells ya. Mule piss. ---

**Schaefer Light** has got to be the worst, hands down. Olympia ranks a close second. I had a friend in college who was always broke and looking to bum beer from the rest of us. One day I had enough of this and decided to put a 6 pack of Schaefer Light out in the sun for a few hours. Then I put the warmed beer in the freezer just long enough for the cans to be cold to the touch. When my friend arrived shortly thereafter, I asked if he wanted a beer. He took a hearty quaff, then he got the message. ---

Natty Light!!! ARG!!! Definately up there. But it least it has alcohol content. Coors? Not so much. Also, Milwaukee’s Best must be referred to as Milwaukee’s Be **a** from now on. ---

> [@Diogenes the Cynic](#): > > It’s close, but I’m going to have to go with Milwaulkee’s Best. Just vile. Coors is pretty godawful, though. I vaguely remember a time when (a poorly distributed) Coors–in a can or no–was accorded the mythic import of the Ark of the Covenant. ---

The premise of the OP is flawed; you are using “beer” and “Coor’s” synonymously. Coor’s is as close to beer as primordial ooze is to Homo sapiens. In fact, I think primordial ooze would be preferable. ---

Iron City may be the worst beer I’ve ever had. It is the only beer I’ve ever had where the light version was better than the non-light. ---

I’ve been told that Old Chicago is absolutely the worst beer ever made (I’m not sure it’s still around any more, actually). My parents and their friends are still passing around a can from 1976. ---

Try a Schlitz… Double Yuck!!! And I know about these things, I used to bartend at a Wisconsin VFW, home of nasty beer. ---

Schlitz Malt Liquor. While in LA in May on vacation, a friend and I saw a tall can for $1.09. And bought two of them to celebrate my birthday. I’m pretty sure it’s unavailable in Canada. Now I understand why, I’m glad customs wouldn’t allow this crap across the border. ---

> [@Khadaji](#): > > Iron City may be the worst beer I’ve ever had. FWIW, I enjoy Iron City in a bottle, but in can it is worse than some of the “winners” already mentioned. Wonder why that is. ---

[caveat] I’ve never tasted many of those mentioned so far, but… the worst I’ve ever had was a bottle of Rolling Rock. Going down, the taste was barely tolerable, but the soapy aftertaste was a killer. ---

So … much … bad … beer … Just reading this thread is giving me the heebie jeebies. I’m going to have to go to my favorite brewpub after work just to counteract it. ---

In my younger days I had extensive experience with really bad beers. You’d be amazed what your palate will adjust to over time. In the hierarchy of bad beers, natural light was definitely the best while coors light and milwaukee’s best even after repeatedly forcing it down always was quite unbearable. The absolute bottom of the barrel was Black Label, which may have actually been toxic.
