I’m going old school here. Back when we used to talk about animal beer, this was what often came to mind.
Polar beer, which I rated 2.9 out of 5
Goose Island beers are very hit/miss.

Couple years ago Shepard Express, a free libby newspaper here in Milwaukee, published a bunch of coupons for 3 Sheeps beer absolutely free, which is the best kind of beer there is, FREE!
Had Tiger beer in Dubai. Not so great.
Fantasy Factory is not only quite good, it has one of the craziest label ever!
Fat Weasel was pretty mediocre.

Sure are a lot of brews with deer on them. Jiust what you need, a deer pissing, shitting, cumming, or squirting their menstrual goo in your beer.
One of the worst beers I ever had.
For a real cheap beer Fat Cat wasn’t bad.

Jaguar Ice was horrible. Possibly the worst animal beer, answering the OP inquiry.
This one is quite good for your basic lager. Features the real but extinct Tasmanian Devil.
Thread takes me back. Schmitz, Buckhorn, Schlitz, etc.
Venezuela also had (or maybe still does) Zulia.
I cannot comment on its taste as I don’t drink.Zulia | Cervecería Regional | BeerAdvocate
Ah, Arctic Wolf:
Ostensibly by “Silvercreek Brewing,” but actually by Sleeman Brewing of Ontario, Arctic Wolf had two things going against it: first, it only came in 18-bottle-packs; and second, it was lousy.
Somewhat third was the fact that it came out when I worked at The Beer Store in Ontario, and when brewers rolled out a new brand, we employees would typically be given a voucher for a six-pack of the new brand, so we could taste it, and be better informed if customers asked about it. Not with this stuff. I guess Sleeman didn’t want to foot the bill for vouchers for a brand that only came in 18-packs.
But the other problem (that, to be honest, consumers never saw), was that the 18-pack configuration made it hard to stack. In Ontario, you always return your empties to The Beer Store, and if they’re loose, they’ll be sorted into sixes, twelves, and twenty-fours; then stacked on a pallet. There are 84 cases of 24 bottles to a pallet, each level arranged in a specific pattern (we called it the “T-pattern”). You can put four sixes in a 24-flat, and stack them; or two twelves in a 24-flat and stack them, or one 24 by itself in the stack. But what do you do with the 18-pack?
You wait until you get six empty bottles, then line them up on one side of a flat, and put the 18 empty Arctic Wolves in their case on the other side, then stack. And be careful that the loose bottles are nowhere near the edges of the stack; otherwise, there’s a risk that the whole stack will collapse as it is forklifted onto a truck.
If Arctic Wolf had been a better beer, and sold a lot more than it did, it might have been worth the effort. But it wasn’t, and it didn’t, and it was a PITA for us at The Beer Store, as long as it was around.

ETA — well that didn’t quite work out

ETA — aww, forget it!
It occurs to me that the Badger branded beers of Hall and Woodhouse have several examples of double animaling (the badger being always present)
Along with the Badger logo, there are beers featuring a ferret, a mouse and a hare. But the smart choice is still Tanglefoot. Which, in the good old days (before beer got watered down) was well-named.

I thought it was common knowledge that Skunky beer is the worst. I mean, that’s why they call it that!
Sure. Why not?
Funny, I’ve been drinking Shiner Bock for years and somehow I never noticed the goat.
In my (stupid) youth, I thought that would make a fine tattoo. I shutter when I think about it now.
Ya know, the way 2020 & 2021 have gone so far, I don’t think we want to tempt Fate by giving her ideas like this one.
Here’s to good friends, tonight is kinda special
The beer we’ll pour
Must say something more, somehow
So tonight…tonight…[don’t] let it be Löwenbräu
God that stuff was awful.
I had Tusker when I was in Kenya. It was a fairly typical lager.
Philistine! You’ve allowed the light beer Nazis to skew your palate.
Though only made by them under contract it was the best beer Miller ever made. The original in Germany is even better and the Swiss version was the best beer made on the planet.
