Is there any beer worse than Budweiser and Bud Light?

[Radical Activist]

Really, the stuff is disgusting. The last time I had one I couldn't finish it. I wanted to barf. I have had some pretty nasty cheap beer (Lonestar comes to mind) but none as bad as Budweiser products. Is there anything worse out there?

[JVS]

1. Laser

Only beer I ever opened that I couldn't drink

[Radical Activist]

7. Never heard of it.

Where's it from?

[JVS]

8. Miller makes it

[RPM]

38. guh - dont forget all coors products

:puke:

[CanuckAmok]

49. yeah, it's like Bud, but with 33% less ethics.

n/t

[LostinVA]

2. Yes: Dog Piss Pilsner... oh wait, it's the same thing...

I'm a Guinness girl... but any good American brew will do!

[Radical Activist]

4. LOL

I love Guinness. It was the first kind of beer I really enjoyed. I don't drink it so often anymore but its good stuff.

[LostinVA]

13. You should taste it in Ireland

No, seriously -- night and day. You think it's good HERE? Yummo, as the ever-annoying Rachael Ray would say...

[Radical Activist]

14. I have a new purpose in life

Go to Ireland, have Guinness. Someday...someday... :toast:

[LostinVA]

21. Seriously -- it's like a religious experience

And, they take (literally) MINUTES to draw the pint. CReamier, yummier, crisper.... GOD!!!!! Time to call Aer Lingus!

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

37. It takes minutes for a good bartender here, too.

I hang out at an Irish Pub. He takes minutese to draw your Guiness pint and he'll draw a shamrock on the head. Or your initials, sailboat, middle finger, NY Giants logo, et cetera depending on who he's drawing the pint for.

[LostinVA]

52. Yes, a "good bartender"

But, my friend, I have had so many bartenders here commit sacrilege against Ireland's other water of life. They draw it like it's a Bud or even a Sam Adams. OMG. 'Tis enough to make me weep...

[WritingIsMyReligion]

3. My dad calls Corona "Mexican piss water"...

I wouldn't know for myself, though, 'cause I don't do that whole underage drinking thing....

:D

[Radical Activist]

5. uh huh....yeah....sure

;)

Corona isn't so bad but I prefer Dos Sequis as far as Mexican beer goes.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

15. OMG IM SERIES11!!11!!1!

;) ;)

Seriously, though....

:D

[Kali]

18. He's right

corona = coors

tecate = bud

Negra Modelo, Bohemia = mmmmmmm :9 :toast: :beer:

[Benfea]

27. I hate Corona. I generally don't like beer brewed in hot climates but...

Dos Equis and Sol aren't bad.

[CatholicEdHead]

6. Stite Light Lager

:puke:

http://www.stite.com

They are in aluminum bottles.

[liberaltrucker]

9. Tried Milwaukee's Best lately?

:puke: Dying of thirst would be perferable. BTW, I kinda like Bud, but not But Lite.

[Radical Activist]

10. No, I have not.

But I'll be sure not to on your advice.

[SouthoftheBorderPaul]

12. Coors Light is pretty bad

but that doesn;t stop me from drinkin' it! :D

[skygazer]

11. Gennesee Cream Ale is pretty gross

Though in my youth, I acquired a taste for it due to the fifty cent drafts available at one of the local bars. But I don't know - I think Bud's worse. Even in my stupid drunken days, I'd pass on a Bud.

[dr.strangelove]

55. You better not mess with my girl Gennie

I know what you mean. Gennie Cream is piss beer, but I fell in love with her on the magic pitcher nights. $3.00 a pitcher and one guy was responsible for keeping hte pitcher full all night. $30.00 and four guys get very drunk. Ah, college. (actually it was often in high school, but we won't go there since it was illegal).

[terrya]

16. Try Keystone sometime

It will make Budweiser seem like the pinnacle of beers.

[Radical Activist]

17. Do I have to?

I think I may just to see if you're right.

[terrya]

20. Keystone is the low end version of Coors

If that tells you anything.

Foolishly, years ago, I got drunk on Keystone. THAT was an unfortunate experience later. :puke:

[Benfea]

31. Olympia and Pabst are pretty nasty also. -NT

[BikeWriter]

54. Oly was usually available to us in Vietnam. It was bad!

[Guava Jelly]

19. coors and coors lite are far worse then bud

but i think most american beer that isnt microbrewed sucks

[Radical Activist]

24. I don't know. Something about Bud

is even worse than Coors to me.

But I generally agree with you about american beer.

[EstimatedProphet]

22. Coors, Strohs

[Kali]

23. Yes there are, but they tend to be in the REALLY cheap

category - keystone, milwaulkee's best, miesterbrau, I'm sure there are some more regional types - we used to have A-1 in Arizona :puke:


Hamm's, Schlitz, Pabst.....

[flvegan]

25. Miller High Life (and MHL Light), Hamm's, Pabst

Any of which will either make you vomit upon ingestion, or, have DEEP regrets the next morning/day.

[Benfea]

26. There are many, many worse beers.

For instance, there is a Busch brewery in Tampa, FL. Even under ideal circumstances, Busch is cheaper than Budweiser and tastes like it, but when you take a beer like that and brew it in a tropical climate… well, the less said the better.

Otherwise, there's a fairly large number of brands of beer that are even cheaper than Bud (many are mentioned in this thread), and I can assure you, they taste even worse.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

28. Actually I don't think the regular Bud is that bad but the Lite is.

:popcorn:

[Throd]

29. Steel Reserve 211, Camoflague, St. Ides High Gravity...

These are all high octane malt liquors mainly sold in 24 ounce cans, usually in the "not so nice" part of town.

Olde English 800 actually ain't all that bad, and Colt 45 is good enough. If it is cheap, potent, and in an oversized jug, I've tried it.

To anyone on the east coast, do they still sell Haffenreffer Private Stock in the 64 oz. jug?

[Fox Mulder]

30. Even Milwaukee's Best is better than Budweiser and Bud Light...

and that's bad.

[Ron Mexico]

59. I have to disagree with this.

Milwaukee's Best is the most foul mass-produced beer on Earth. Worse than Brown Derby.

[RevolutionaryActs]

32. Most all light beers are absolutely sickening.

But this stuff I'm drinking right now is pretty, it's Henry Weinhards Blue Boar Irish Pale Ale. That shit is good. :9

[Left Is Write]

33. Oh, sure, but Bud is waaaaaaay down there, I agree.

I won't touch the stuff.

[zone]

34. Schaefer and Hamms are up there

But Bud is hands-down the biggest ripoff.

[greendog]

35. Schaefer

[kwassa]

36. Bud is vastly better than Bud Light: all light beers are watered down

I don't think Budwiser is bad for a commercial American lager. It is much better than Keystone, Milwaukee's Worst, er, Best, Iron City, and a number of other minor leaguers.

Beer is a vast world, though, and though I drink my microbrews, I don't touch much in that American lager arena.

Light beer is the abomination. It is a pathetic joke.

[iconoclastic cat]

39. Natural Light! Get it off me! Get it off me!

[RumpusCat]

68. oh god, Natty Light - choice of frat boys everywhere!

Probably because it's like 0.50 a can. This stuff is swill!

[Initech]

40. Miller Genuine Draft = worst. beer. ever!!!

:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

42. When I saw the subject, I clicked in to reply "Lone Star".

But I see you have that one covered. So, I'll just leave it at "Dixie".

[pimpbot]

43. Interesting fact about the mega-brewers

Pretty much all the mega breweries make the same product, just vary the amount of certain ingredients. For example, Budweiser makes Bud, Bud Light, Natty Light, etc.

A person I knew used to work for Bud, and they told me how if a brew of Bud got messed up somehow, they'd just relabel it Natty Light instead of flushing it down the sewer. I forget what malt liquor Bud makes but if the Natty got messed up it became that. Since each brew was thousands of barrels, it was quite an expense to lose the product, thus the relabeling.

[dr.strangelove]

57. Well

Its a little more complicated than that. It is very hard for a "batch" to get screwed up. They don't take bad bud light and sell it as natty light. Natty light uses far cheaper products. Bud puts its best hops into Bud and Bud light and "inferior" for other bud products. The malt product is very different.

[AussieDave]

44. Yes - Fosters

Cat pee blended with lark vomit strained through all the socks worn by all the players in Sunday's Superbowl.

Truly

Awful

Stuff



However it WILL remove graffiti and nail polish with just one application.

Wear breathing apparatus and rubber gloves.

[johnnie]

45. I like it

x(

[MrSlayer]

46. Coors Light is the worst beer in the world.

Absolute trash.

[zone]

47. Hitler lite

Springtime for pisswater in Germany.

[Radical Activist]

82. I still prefer it over Bud.

But at least Bud is union made.

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

48. I remember Schlitz as being rather nasty stuff.

Of course, being a raging drunk, if that was what was on the table then that's what I gulped down.

However, that entire memory may just have been an old episode of the DTs....... :evilgrin:

[CanuckAmok]

50. All American beer is like...swill. SWILL!

Except perhaps Blue Ribbon, which has such kitch appeal as to be somewhat enjoyable.

[Initech]

80. You mean MASS-PRODUCED American beer, right?

If that's the case, I'll definately agree with ya!

Microbrews > Coors, Bud, Miller, etc...

[leftofthedial]

51. all Coors products

because their profits directly bankroll the fascists

[Lochloosa]

53. I don't know if it's still made....Red White and Blue

Bought two six packs when I was 16. We ended up throwing them at mailboxes. And I would drink anything at 16.

[lpbk2713]

66. If I had to choose between RW&B and donkey piss .....

I'd have to give it a lot of thought. That stuff is/was disgusting. I don't know if they still make it.

[dr.strangelove]

56. A question for you and YES, there are many beers worse than Bud.

Are you comparing Bud and Bud Light to all beers or just other macro/mass produced beers.

As far as the mass produced beers, I prefer Bud to MGD, Miller High Life, and Coors. I prefer Bud Light to Coors Light. I like Amstel way better than Bud Light.

You can't really compare a good micro brew to a mass brew. I'm an Oregon beer guy (love those cascade hops), but if Portland Brewing or Deshuttes had to mass produce my favorites the quality would go down too.

There are also some very bad micros that are way worse than Bud and Bud Light.

[Ron Mexico]

58. Jesus Christ, is there ever!

Milwaukee's Best is absolutely fucking awful.

[x-g.o.p.er]

60. Grain Belt, Minnesota's finest

[trackfan]

61. Nope

[ET Awful]

62. Bergermeister, Keystone, Coors Lite, the list goes on.

Bud is nasty, there is nastier stuff out there though.

[Bridget Burke]

63. Did you know they make Lone Star Light?

Pearl bought Lone Star Beer, then bought Jax (remember Jax?). But now Miller brews both "Texas" beers. Check out the Opinionated Beer Page:

www.tobp.com/review/beer.asp?t=639

The San Antonio Museum of Art is in the Lone Star Brewery that closed when Prohibition started. Worth a visit--as are many things in that city:

[LSK]

64. all of them

I hate beer.

[Reverend_Smitty]

65. Why are there so many horrible mass produced American beers?

I've tried to find a decent domestic beer so I could drink cheaply when I go out to the bar but the best I could find was Miller and that ain't saying much. Why do people put up with such sub-par booze? My uncle lost a bet to a co-worker last week (the prize was a 6 pack of their choice) so he asked the guy what kind of beer does he want (figuring it would be Guinness, Sam Adams etc) and the guy said he just wanted a 6 pack of Bud!?! Of all the beers in the world that you could get a free six pack of and you pick Bud???

[SteppingRazor]

69. One word: Prohibition.

Before prohibition, there were a lot of great American beers. But all the breweries shut down and, when they reopened, they developed new recipes based on cheapness and mass-producability, rather than taste. Those few that tried to make quality beers were run out of business by the low-cost manufacturers, until the microbrew craze ushered in a new era of tasty American beers.

[Ron Green]

70. If you turn your cap around backwards it tastes OK, I guess.

It's titty beer, sold to 21-34 year old males who see the titties on the screen, turn their caps around backwards and buy foul-tasting swill. I don't understand how it works, but this seems to be what happens.

:crazy:

[Taverner]

67. Pabst Blue Ribbon, Olympia, Coors, Coors Light....

There are many...

[pointblank]

71. Well

I think all of you are on crack. :sarcasm:

Bud and Bud Light are by far superior to any other American beer in that class......In my humble opinion of course!

But live in St. Louis, and around here 80% of the people you see out in a bar are drinking one of these two....not just guys with their hats backwards at strip clubs! :eyes:

Go to Colorado and the same goes for Coors, go to Milwaukee the same for Miller. Beer taste is very subjective...

for instance, I think Miller Lite tastes funky and watered down, but Bud Light to me tastes pretty good...but I enjoy light beer, probably because I drink quite a few beers when I do drink and darker beers dont allow me to do that without puking, although if I am just having one or two I will sometimes opt for Becks or an occasional Guiness...and I can see why people dont like light beer and enjoy darker beers with more 'taste'...It depends on the person and their "goal" if you know what I mean.

If I had my choice of beer to drink it would be Amstel Light, but at 8 dollars a six pack compared to 14 dollars a case for Bud Light...you get the idea.

The worst beers IMO are Hamms, Schaefer and Heineken :puke:


:toast:

[noonwitch]

72. Goebel-the cheap kegs for college students

Do they even make the crap anymore? I think Stroh's made it.

I hate most beer. I like Pinot Grigio.

[Radical Activist]

73. Wow. This thread got popular

I hope the a-holes at Budweiser see it. Some people won't buy a shitty product no matter how many clever ads you have.

[Strong Atheist]

74. All beers are worse. Don't like beer. Give me liqueurs

any day.

Beer. Bleech.x(

[Bill McBlueState]

75. Iron City!

My brother and I were drinking Iron City during the Super Bowl because we figured it was good luck, but honestly, the stuff tastes the way my alcoholic uncle's house smells.

[m_welby]

76. mass produced american beer is swill.

Made with corn (or rice) as adjuncts, its all crap. I've never been able to drink any of it without getting a headache before I finish the second one.

Give me a Sam Adams anyday, thats good american beer, made with malt, hops and water. Don't need anything else.

As for Corona, if it was good beer you wouldn't need to put fruit in it to make it drinakable.

[WeRQ4U]

77. Natty Light, Keystone, Stroh's, Coors Light, Schmidts, Hamms, Schafer,...

Old Mill
Minnesota's Brew
Icehouse
Schlitz
Rolling Rock (maybe a little better, but still shitty)

Need I go on?

[Burma Jones]

78. Red White and Blue, Schlitz, Old Milwaukee, Grain Belt

Wiedemann, Pearl, PBR, Milwaukee's Best, Mickeys, Shaffer (Schaffer)

[ksilvas]

79. "Black Lable" $3.89 a 12pack in P'cola in the late 80's.n/t

81. Schmidt

Nasty stuff. Generally consumed at room temperature by red neck high school boys.
