I’ve reviewed the entire thread, and I think all my “all time worsts” have been mentioned. With the exception of Piels. Which is on a par with Blatz. These were college beers. That is to say, beer which could be bought for less than $5.00 a case.

As far as upstate New York, Genesee is pretty putrid, albeit accepted. The true upstate bog-water has got to be Old Vienna.
The worst ones have to be the “skunk” beers. “Mickey’s” and “Elephant Beer” are the two that come to mind as REALLY bad.
Those of you not in Texas probably won’t recognize thins, but Shiner Bock really pisses me off. This is crappy light pilsner tasting urine that passes itself off as a bock!!! I don’t care if people like flavorless beers, but how dare a brewery call a typical watered-down American pilsner dyed brown a bock?
Also, I second the vote for Samuel Adams triple bock. It tastes like soy sauce.
FWIW, Grain Belt and the previously mentioned Pig’s Eye are made by the same company and the same brewery on 7th St. in St. Paul, MN. I have to pass by this edifice from time to time, and I would swear on a stack of bibles that I can detect an unpleasant odor :eek:
My choice is this European stuff of indeterminate origin that I got in Italy. I forget the name, but I think it started with the letter “L”. This slop tasted like it was laced with formaldehyde. I stuck with bottled liquor after that.

i agree i can drink it if its ICE cold i HATE warm bug light.
I’m going to have to go with everyone that said Corona. It is the nastiest smelling and tasing beer ever. Yuck!
I know, I know, technically it’s malt liquor, but Olde English is the worst substance known to mankind. Seriously, this stuff if the devil’s piss. I can’t believe no one has mentioned it before me.
I also have to second Natural Ice (otherwise known as Natty Ice at the frat parties where it is exclusively served) and MGD.
On another, not entirely unrelated note, Mickey’s is the only vegan malt liquor. The rest are made with lard. Yummy, no?
I can’t believe nobody’s brought up Pearl yet.
That stuff has to be the nastiest funk I’ve intentionally imbibed yet. Tastes like they water it down with embalming fluid, or something else with formaldehyde in it. Instant headache.
A college roommate and I had some kind of testosterone fueled contest to see who could drink more. In retrospect, I’d have rather seen who could stand getting kicked in the balls more…
