It’s only brewed in Pennsylvania and Florida, but the bottles I buy here in Tennessee are just fine.
I’ve had it in Rochester NY and it was not good.
Again, while bad, nowhere near a truly nasty beer. I don’t even even think it is as bad as Natural Ice/Light, another same priced beer.
Anyone else been dumb enough to try Earthquake?
I have. My tongue tried to commit suicide.
Again, not sure if “malt” liquors count.
Now hold on. That King Cobra is good swill, especially back in the day when a 32 bottle was $.99 plus tax in California.
Worst beer? Steel Reserve, Schlitz Malt Liquor, PBR. Steel Reserve is especially loathesome.
I forget the spelling but a greek beer in cans from a discount food store in the early 1980’s called something like Ephesus. Vile. Tasted like they made beer from soy sauce, I shit you not.
I enjoy all kinds of cheap, horrible alcohols. Earthquake is by far the worst I have ever tasted.
I’ll actually defend Steel Reserve in a can(24 oz available).
It’s pretty good. But from a bottle, it’s horrible.
Yeep! That stuff is dangerous for an experienced beer drinker! Once you get past the foul taste, it’s 9% of “high gravity lager” pummeling your brain as it easily slides down your throat at .99 cents a can!
The few times I’ve ever blacked out drinking (and I pretty much only drink beer) were when that stuff was involved.
It gets my vote…its nasty as fuck tasting and you get hobo wasted off of it.
A lot of you would probably consider Black Diamond Coolers the worst unless you were a girl or black… they were high alcohol malt beverages made with really incredible artificial and natural fruit flavors. Like Beer Koolade (they had Berry, Tropical Punch, and Citrus Flavors). But to me, well, it was just another Punch. I’ve always enjoyed spiked Party Punch, the one Black Diamond Cooler tasted just like Hairy Buffalo. Good shit, you prude and delicate crowd.
I don’t think Steel Reserve is all that bad. Sure, the first couple of times I drank it I almost threw up, but it’s not nearly the worst beer I’ve ever had. I can’t remember the name of it, some foul red ale from a local brewery. Absolutely disgusting stuff. I can drink a whole can of Steel Reserve, but I couldn’t get in more than 2 swallows of this red ale.
I cannot fathom why anyone would drink an IPA willingly.
In fact anything that could be described as “Hoppy” will be a struggle for me to get down, and i will make faces through the whole ordeal.
Let me get you an Arrogant Bastard and I’ll record it for YouTube.
I’ll take all your share. I love chewy beers.
When I lived in PA, I never had a bad Yeungling, except for the above mentioned skunked can that had been left in an un-iced cooler for at least a week (did not know this when I opened it). However, now I live in FL and drive by the brewery nearly every day. I’ve had about 4 bottles where the cap wasn’t seated properly and the beer was obviously bad, and last night I had one where the cap seemed fine, but the beer was flat. Not bad, but totally flat. I think their Tampa brewery has quality control issues.
I’ve always heard it retitled as “Milwaukee’s Beast.”
Hijack: Reminds me of a weird beer-related encounter - on Sunday, my husband and I were walking from Union Station (combined commuter/Amtrak train station) in Chicago to a nearby L (subway) station. Coming the other way, I saw a young man and young woman walking towards Union Station. The guy looked a little bit worse for wear, and was carrying a dark, shopping-sized plastic bag with handles. As we approached, he pulled an empty can out of the bag and threw it on the ground, in the “landscaping” strip next to a parking garage. We soon passed them and I pulled up even with it, and saw it was a Natural Light can. I glanced back at them, in time to see him throw another can, same kind. I began trying to figure out what on earth might possess him to lay a “bread crumb” trail of empty “Natty Light” cans to the train station.
I’ve stopped buying Pilsner Urquell because it’s skunked more often than not, and its price is too high to pay for the risk. Shame.
Miller High Life is a beer I’ll never drink again even if it was being given away for nothing.
I didn’t see that anyone answered this – yes the 120 minute is hoppy, but it’s “balanced” with an incredible maltiness that overall gives it an overall very powerful and yes, sweet, flavor. These beers (also imperial stouts, like Old Rasputin et. al.) are lovely, IMO, but they’re not good at all for casual drinking. You pour them in a glass and take little baby sips over the course of an hour or so. Or pair them with equally rich food. Which is good, because they also tend to have a pretty high alcohol content.
Undeniably worst I’ve ever had was the infamous Cave Creek Chili Beer. Absolutely horrible, with no possible redeeming quality I could see. I think I made myself finish it, though, just to say that I did. I really like spicy foods and hot peppers, by the way, so the heat didn’t really bother me.
I managed only a sentence worth or so of explanation; you did a much better job. I could only drink a sip before rejecting further tastes. Admittedly I’m not a hop fan, but I did enjoy their 90 Minute version; I can see how someone with more of an appreciation for hops might approve. Then again, we were also just tasting them as a set at the bar, and weren’t told what each of those beers’ characteristics were - if I had been warned “this is a high-octane beer, tons of malt to balance the hops, a sipping beer” I might have appreciated it more.
I liked Dogfish Head’s incredibly high alcohol Raison d’Extra (the high-alcohol version of their Raison d’Etre), 18% alcohol and with more hops added to help balance it. Another definite sipping beer, but without so much hop power.
Generic Beer. It was God-knows-what in the the white cans with BEER printed on it in black block lettering. My friends and I tried just to say we had and it was $.25 a can. We were already smashed out of our minds (hence why this seemed like a good idea to begin with) and still couldn’t actually finish them.
Egads, you must be a Budweiser fan. Fuller’s London Pride is awesome, provided it hasn’t passed it’s expire date.
Dio, these kinds of polls always seem useless to me unless you make the person also say what they think is good, so you can tell where they’re coming from. Music and movie polls have the same weakness.
