In the land where Genesee Cream Ale is considered the quintessential beer, I had an uncle who was too cheap to even buy that. Instead he opted for* Old Vienna*. I don’t know much about it except that, back in the day, it cost something like $3.00 per case and it tasted like turpentine with a dirty sweat sock in it.
Even Guinness tastes like weak beer to me. Eh. I don’t get it.
Guinness *is *weak beer. It’s only 4% alcohol, while Bud Light is 4.2%.
I’ve mentioned this before on these boards: Stella. Not Stella Artois, but the Stella made in Egypt. Beer with chunks and floaties. Beer you strain through your teeth and that makes your throat constrict. Awful stuff.
Horrible, horrible stuff.
Worst?
May God have mercy on your soul.

Labaat Max ice - Wow, this stuff is just horrible. Hurt my head to take more than a sip.

Cass Beer - It’s Korean and very bad. Their worst imitation American beer.
I actually like Genesee’s regular beer, though.
whilst in Canada, someone destroyed a perfectly fine ale by adding Clamato juice… this was, by far, the worst beer-like substance I have ever had the displeasure to ingest…
Beast. Nuff said.
Olympia:
I handed my girlfriend an Olympia, and she noted it was like sex in a canoe.* She left me for another guy 3 months later.
*fucking close to water.
Ohh, oohh… Blatts! Blatz? (sp?)
Someone in Milwaukee convinced me that I had to try it.
(We need a :barf: smiley). 
My god, why would anyone make imitation American beer?! :eek:
Well, that’s just what I call it. Tsingtao’s main beer is also like American beer, but it is not that bad.
Please don’t use the term “American beer” if you’re just referring to the megabrewed light lagers like Bud, Coors, and PBR. There are many, many excellent American beers and just a few of the ones I refer to as “beer for people who don’t like the taste of beer.”
Oddly enough, the worst beer I’ve had came from a brewery that I normally love.
Samuel Adams Cranberry Lambic.
Just God-awful. It tasted like someone else drank a bunch of cranberry juice, and then a bunch of skunked Boston Lager, then vomited that into a bottle and gave it to me to drink.
Lol. My all-time worst was brewed by a friend. It was supposed to be some kind of darkish ale. It went somewhat awry and tasted like, I dunno, a cold flat brown yeast infection.
Re: bouv
Lambics take some getting used to. They are the moldy cheese of beer.
I’ve tried plenty of microbrew abortions, but for the absolute worst of the commonly found I’d have to go with Samuel Smith - Oatmeal Stout. I’d rather drink a warm cup of tobacco spit served in a dirty ashtray than taste that again.
For lighter fare, Bud Light Lime drinkers need a slap on the face as well.
I love a lot of different beer styles, but I’ve never developed a taste for lambics. I just don’t like the sourness of that yeast.
Labatt’s 50 and Wildcat. They both taste like beer-flavoured piss.
The sourness is from the bacteria, not the yeast.
Quite right. Sorry.
