Worst beer EVER? Well, I’m not sure. I despise all the macrolagers, and Coors always gives me a headache for some reason. The latest awful beer in recent memory was True Blue Blueberry Lager. It tasted like blueberries soaked in battery acid, with a grainy finish. At least it was 8% and I could drink one and be buzzed, then eat something to get rid of the taste.
Update: The place just renovated, and now it’s 250 baht (US$7.50) for all you can drink for two (2) hours, 7-9pm. Cathouse Bar in Nana Plaza. A LITTLE more sensible. A little.
When I lived in China, it seemed like the Chinese guys would frequently start with a relatively expensive bottle of Budweiser, then move on to the regular Chinese beer(Yanjing and Qingtao).
Budweiser, a very average beer at best, was bout 3x as expensive as Chinese beer. It’s bottled in Beijing.
Wow, really? I mean, different strokes and all, but this is easily in my top five beers ever. The flagship brand of one of Britain’s greatest breweries, winning international awards for years, full flavored but light enough that you can drink it for hours, perfect balance between biscuity malt and earthy british hops . . . well, I’m off to the pub.
Really? Not one vote for Knickerbocker. Now that’s rea cat piss.
And isn’t most of the Foster’s sold in the U.S. actually made in Canada? Or am I thinking of another import that purports to be from some faraway country, but is actually made by our neighbor to the north?
Asda Smartprice bitter, 94 pence for 4 cans. Utterly revolting.
The worst was Arrogant Bastard Ale- one drink and it was down the drain. Pyramid IPA was a very close 2nd.
FOSTERS: “It’s Australian for p*ss”!:smack:
When I was last in Texas, I stopped at a bar in Houston Hobby on my way out of town. Saw a neon sign for Zeigenbock, thought it might be a local, and ordered one.
I very quickly regretted that. Awful awful beer. Mickey’s in the wide-mouth bottle is pretty damn bad too.
BLASPHEMY, sir!
Zeigenbock is actually made by Anheuser-Busch. Its big selling point is that it’s only available in Texas.
Rolling Rock Green Light. If I wanted a bottle of fucking water, I’d buy Polish Well.
If homebrew counts, then the beer my flatmates at Oxford made is a clear #1. Take equal parts bathwater and seltzer water, then mix in a handful of beach sand (make sure it’s sand that has weird little unidentifiable bits in it) and enough Dettol to give it about 1% abv.
I kept trying to tell them they had to let it ferment a bit longer, but nooooooo.
Arrogant Bastard is the worst beer I’ve ever had, by far. I’ve taken swigs of beer that had gone bad that tasted better.
Blasphemy again! That stuff is damned good, but you do have to be in the mood for a “big” beer. This is not something you’re going to want to drink more than one or two of in a session. Interestingly enough, ratebeer.com ranks it in the 99th percentile.
Does non-alcoholic beer count? If so, then Kaliber.
ABA is marketed as a “very aggressive beer”. I think it it’s one of the best around but it does have a harshness to the flavor that other beers don’t have.
Does anyone know what happened here? The last 6 pack of Rolling Rock I ever bought tasted like bleach. I had to throw the whole thing out, never had that happen before.
Where are you Texans NOT seeing people drink Lone Star? They serve it at every bar in Austin, it’s what almost everyone I know drinks.
I hate that pumpkin beer that always goes on sale around the holidays. Same for that Chili beer which has been mentioned a few times.
Red White and Blue…it was so bad we threw FREE sixpacks of it away.
One summer day in my younger and broker years my friends and I purchased a case of beer on the cheap. It was called “Old German” and the bottles were shaped like old timey barrels…GAH! It was horrible, but in our youthful enthusiasm to get smashed we drank it anyway. My buddy Sam mentioned that while it was called it “Old German” it was brewed in New Jersey.
