I don’t like Grolsch much , but it’s problem is the green bottles; the light gets in and skunks the beer.

This stuff was in cans; it wasn’t skunked, just bad.

Either of these has my vote. Had the former, not had the latter, but by the name alone I would refuse to drink it, and I’m the “extreme-low-standard-guy” when it comes to beer. I’ve happily drank Beast, Steel Reserve, Bud Light Lime, even the generic white-can “BEER” without complaint, I even daresay enjoyed them, and I’m far removed from college. I even once poured a shot of vodka into a bottle of O’Doul’s and drank it (seriously not as bad as it sounds).

Interestingly though I will not drink Heineken. It’s just gross to me.

It was in the beer door, amongst the Steel Reserve and Colt 45…

It’s a common Mexican drink. Basically, a beer bloody mary. For a Budweiser product, it’s actually pretty good, although I far prefer to make my own michelada.

The actively bad beers on my list are Busch Lite, Milwaukee’s Best, any beer with chile peppers in it (I love hot peppers, but they don’t belong in beer), and some Baltika beer I had in Russia that was flavored with basil and almond. (Research indicates that it was [Balika 10 Jubilee.](http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/baltika-10-jubileynoe-jubilee/22909/))

We used to call it an _ojo rojo_, for that hangover “get right” drink when you can’t afford vodka.

Good times, good times – lasting 13 months
