Worst tasting American beer

[Seabiscuit]

OK, most of us know that any beer sold in a can doesn't taste as good as the same beer sold in a bottle.

So let's just assume we're talking cans here.

Has any beer ever made you want to exclaim, after just one gulp, "that tastes like ****!" Or made you want to upchuck before finishing the can?

Going back to 1962, when I tried my first beer, there are some labels, one or more of which may no longer be available, that fit that description.

Schaeffer Ale is in a category all its own as my most nauseating beer memory, but since it's an ale and not a beer, it's off the list.

And Corona is generally regarded by Mexicans as its worst beer, and there aren't that many other Mexican brands (my favorite is Dos XX Amber) I'm not including Mexican beers on this list.

Finally, as all "Lite" beers taste like **** to me, they're not included on the list.

Here's my (very) short list of nauseating brew, strictly from a moment's memory, with the King of Nauseating Beer, Schlitz, (aka Janitor-In-A-Drum) at #1.

I finally found 10 labels I despise, so if anyone wants to add their "other" feel free to.

[LadyoftheRabbits]

1. Natural Light...

I've just heard it tastes like pee-water. :shrug:

[Seabiscuit]

2. Any lite beer - off the list - they all taste like ****

:)

n.b. - I've edited the original text to reflect this.

[LadyoftheRabbits]

6. Ah, OK

:hi: Apologies!

[SCantiGOP]

77. according to John Cleese..

American beer is like having sex in a canoe...........in other words: fucking close to water.

[xmas74]

156. Nattie Light stays.

Any beer that high school kids can scrape pennies together to buy has to be on the list. That's why we drank it so often in high school.

And it gets my vote for worst beer. Try puking that up sometime. It stays in your nostrils for a week after the puking episode. I know from experience.

[ZombieNixon]

3. Well, I don't know about pee-water...

but it tastes worse than the Beast (Milwaukee's Best)...and that's saying something. :puke:

[Wheezy]

4. Icehouse.

Though if you're desperate, it packs a bigger punch than regular canned american crap-beer.

[Maestro]

5. Can we have an "all of the above"?

I only do Ales and they are few and far between with major American brewers.

[Seabiscuit]

8. OK, if someone seconds the motion.

That will only leave space for one more nomination.

[Tyo]

137. I second it.

They all reek.

[Seabiscuit]

139. You're in good company. I have a feeling that if

"all of the above" were an option it would win hands down and very few beers on the list would get a vote.

[KamaAina]

7. Colt 45 is malt liquor, not beer.

I know of no malt liquor that is not putrid. Perhaps there's a market niche there.

[Seabiscuit]

10. True - I don't even know if it's manufactured any more. I just remember

it made me ill long, long ago, at the peak of its popularity in the early 1960's.

[Richard Steele]

12. Oh, it's still around. And it got my vote, "beer" or not.

[Seabiscuit]

22. Fantastic! I just knew *somebody* would hate it as much as I did.

[Richard Steele]

33. I didn't say I HATE it, just that it's the worst tasting on the list.

At least it's a cheap buzz, so there's SOMETHING going for it.

I HATE Michelob Ultra- zero taste AND it doesn't get you drunk;
it's the most utterly pointless waste of a can I can think of.

[Seabiscuit]

54. I just tasted Michelob Ultra 10 days ago for the first time.

My wife has these fundie/neocon relatives in Escondido, some of the most backward people I've ever met.

They had a birthday party for her aunt 10 days ago.

They had a couple of young bartenders serving drinks. The only choices for beer were: Corona, Coors, and Michelob Ultra. Typical fundie/neocons - no culture, no taste.

I hate Corona and Coors.

I tried the Michelob Ultra by default for the first time and spit it out.

I got a headache from their cheap red wine instead.

[JVS]

133. Colt 45 is delicious malt liquor. Hurricane and King Cobra are bad ones.

[GoneOffShore]

9. Nothing there to drink.

Just about any of the 'big brewer' beers are what I call canoe beers.

As in why is drinking (Insert 'beer' brand) like making love in a canoe?

Because it's effing near water.

[FILAM23]

11. Your whole list is pretty bad

but none of them are as bad as Brown Derby

[Seabiscuit]

15. Oooh, Brown Derby! Forgot about that one!

Sorry, too late.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

13. Bud Light is heinous.

Rolling Rock is pretty vile, too.

[Seabiscuit]

17. Any "lite" or "light" is heinous - see above.

Yes, yes - Rolling Rock is vile!

[Broken_Hero]

14. you should have Other as an option

I voted for Milwaukee's best...but the worst beer is King Cobra, I swear. I never had it in a can, had it in 40oz bottles, and boy, it sucked big time...

[Seabiscuit]

18. You're right - I included "other" for awhile until I thought of enough to

fill out the poll.

And there are other worthy nominations piling in - King Cobra among them.

[tyedyeto]

16. No vote...

any bud, coors, miller, etc. beer is equally disgusting.

Give me a good micro any day of the week.

[Seabiscuit]

20. Maybe I should start a "favorite microbrew" poll?

[tyedyeto]

27. In the southwest (Tucson)...

start with Nimbus Brewery! Best around these parts!!!!!

[Lost-in-FL]

113. Unibroue ROCKS!!!

:toast: :beer: :beer: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :loveya: :loveya:

[CrushTheDLC]

127. Yeah, but this is a SHIT beer poll

Don't confuse the issue with good beer!

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

19. Other: Meister Brau.

Apparently, they stopped making it. Probably it made some poor stoned college kids go blind or something.

[Magrittes Pipe]

63. This is the correct answer.

The smiley players present the 4 stages of Meister Brau Syndrome (MBS):

Act I:
:toast:

Act II:
:puke:

Act III:
:hurts:

Act IV:
:scared:

[Courtesy Flush]

21. Can't believe you left out Miller Light

Tastes like liquid dirt

[Seabiscuit]

23. See original text re: all "lite" beers taste like **** so they're excluded

from the list. I think they'd automatically get the most votes, and that wouldn't be fair to the other truly nauseating beers. :)

[Billy Ruffian]

24. Coors *used* to be good

You folks that voted for Coors must not have been drinking it back in the 70s. It was decent back then (before it went nationwide)
:toast:

[Seabiscuit]

25. I drank it in the 70's, and I even drove Mrs. Coors around in a cab in

La Jolla, CA back in '72-73. She was the worst tipper I ever drove around. I'd take her shopping and then back to her hotel suite at the south end of Girard Avenue.

Crabby old nag.

Maybe she'll be rolling over in her grave after this poll's completed.

Karma sure is a bitch, eh, Mrs. Coors? Here's to 'ya:

:spray:

[CrushTheDLC]

129. Maybe that's when they followed old Adolf's recipe?

Which would have made it essentially a microbrew. Rather than the preservative filled swill it is now.

And that reference is to Adolf Coors, not Adolf Hitler. Though the politics of his descendants are similar.

[jane_pippin]

26. The kind with a panther on it that costs $1.99 for 4 of 'em

No clue what the hell it is, and I'm pretty sure I never want to know. The bums in my neighborhood seem to dig it though.

Not that I have much room to talk--PBR and I have become very good friends lately.

[dolo amber]

71. Hipster

:eyes:

I presume you quaff it whilst wearing a trucker hat. :D

[jane_pippin]

73. Yep. And I keep them in my messenger bag

that is decorated with ironic pins. After downing a couple, I crank me some obscure slop-core records and watch Jim Jarmusch movies with the sound off while I work on my art project--cross-stitch patterns that say naughty things like "fuck off," or "go fuck yourself." Then I read some Chuck Klosterman essays to relax.

I'm subversive!

[dolo amber]

74. As long as your slop-core is obscure

You'd throw the whole curve off with that mainstream slop-core. :thumbsup:

[jane_pippin]

80. Pfft..mainstream slop-core is for Anthony DeCurtis and little girls.

:D

[datasuspect]

163. PBR is kinda flowery/hoppy

not really that bad.

esp. for a buck a can at the latest hipster shithole down off the main drag.

[jane_pippin]

165. It's great when you're broke...12 bottles for $6.50?

Excellent.

And it's really not that bad. I mean, it's bad, but it's not like it's Bud.

Or Milwaukee's Best Ice. :puke:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

28. When I was in college, we could get a pitcher of Pabst for $2.25

It wasn't worth the money. :puke:

[qnr]

29. Appropriate that you didn't include Budweiser, since it's not a beer, but

piss water.

[Seabiscuit]

30. Ouch!

Bud's the only American beer (aside from microbrews) I can stomach.

[qnr]

36. OK, but you literally couldn't pay me to drink it n/t

[Seabiscuit]

40. Well I won't pay you, but could I buy you a round?

:)

[xmas74]

157. I'd rather drink High Life

and that's saying something. I can't stand to be in the same room w/ a Bud.

[Katina]

39. apt description

glad to know I'm not alone!

[Lost-in-FL]

109. That was the first brand that came to mind

before reading the entire OP.

I heard that it is famous in Ireland, in a good sense. I refuse to believe that.

[Frank Cannon]

120. Bud comes out in the same form it goes in

only warmer.

[Throd]

31. Anyone here drink Steel Reserve 211 in the 24oz. can?

It'll make your liver quiver.

Then again, I will buy that before I will drink Miller Genuine Draft.

[alcibiades_mystery]

32. Yuengling Lager

Probably the worst beer on the planet.

[Seabiscuit]

49. Does it have a picture of a panda on the label?

Oh.

Excuse me.

That was Ling-Ling.

[PittPoliSci]

117. it's like drinking yeast.

[Zomby Woof]

34. Schmidt's

Brings back fond memories of camping in the Cascades back in the 90's... but truly an awful beer. Always loved the cheesy packaging with the outdoorsy motif. :D

My favorite bad beer in high school was Old Style. Back then, it was $1.99 a 6-pack. :beer:

[xmas74]

158. Funnel an Old Style for a cheap buzz.

I'd still drink that over a Bud or a Nat Light.

[Throd]

35. MILLER GENUINE DRAFT SUCKS DONKEY BALLS

I swear it was developed to appeal only to people below the age of 23 and beneath an IQ of 75.

[deucemagnet]

85. I think you win the prize.

I was going to nominate National Bohemian, but I'll take a National Bo over an MGD anyday. :puke:

[RumpusCat]

88. Natty Bo is at least kind of quirky

It's not quite reached the hipster status of PBR, luckily. But it's not too bad.

MGD, tho'--it's my sister's favorite beer! :scared: :puke:

[RumpusCat]

89. Natty Bo is at least kind of quirky

It's not quite reached the hipster status of PBR, luckily. But it's not too bad.

MGD, tho'--it's my sister's favorite beer! :scared: :puke:

[ScreamingMeemie]

103. 36 year old, Phi Beta Kappa in College, gainfully employed... and

I really like it. I hate the stupidity of your comment.

[Placebo]

37. Budweiser

American beers suck.

[Katina]

38. Budweiser is horrible

it not only tastes bad, but on the "off days" when it's "all there is," it ends up giving me a massive headache. Screw that!

Smithwicks (Irish)is the best beer out there...and if you are going to order it, it's pronounced Smitticks. :D

[Seabiscuit]

47. I have lots of favorites, none of which are American...

A French Alsatian beer comes to mind: Fischer La Belle

[myrna minx]

97. I love Fischer! I live their bitter, as well.

I will add Black Label beer to your list. It was the choice among HS kids in Janesville Wisconsin back in the 80's. :puke: I think a 12 pack cost $3.00 or something. It still gives me the willies just thinking about it. :scared:

[Seabiscuit]

101. I remember Black Label. Who made it?

Nice to see another Fischer La Belle fan! :)

[myrna minx]

102. I don't recall what "brewer" was responsible for that

dreck, but it did it's job for the 10th graders who wanted to drink until they :puke: :rofl:

:loveya: Fischer La Belle.

[Seabiscuit]

106. Just researched it. Black Label isn't an American beer after all:

Although heavily marketed in America for awhile, it's British.

Made by Carling Brewing Company based in Burton, Derbyshire, England. Carling is a subsidiary of the larger Bass Brewers Group. Its main features are its cheapness, low alcohol content (4.1%), similarity in taste to standard American macro piss beer and, of course, its availability in American supermarkets.

In other words, the British dumped their lousiest beer onto our shores, apparently because the real beer drinkers in the U.K. shunned it, thinking, of course "Those dumb Yanks will drink anything. Give them Carling Black Label". They were right.

[smtpgirl]

112. All of the major breweries sell "near beer"

I don't think any of them are over 4.1%, honestly

[myrna minx]

126. That is quite interesting.

Yeah, the British dumped their lousiest beer on our shores and got midwestern teens wasted. :rofl: Thanks for the research. :hi:

[smtpgirl]

110. Carling Black Label

That was a good beer too

Hey Mabel the quarter is for the Black Label!

[Rambis]

87. Love the Smithwicks

I just coudn't put down the Guinness long enough to order more of it. If you are from a certain county in Wexford it would be pronounced Schm-itticks
A friend told me it is available in North Carolina but alas I assmue it will be pasturized and ruined just like Guinness. Is it available anywhere in the midwest? I am drinking Harp for the summer months.

[Katina]

138. I first had it in Wexford

it was deliciously creamy. You can get it in the Northeast in bottles. Some bars have it on tap and it's still good...but not like it is in Ireland...but that's no surprise.

[Rambis]

143. I was afraid of that

Guinness has just been ruined for me- I won't say I will never drink it again but...
I did get a keg for a party and it wasn't as sour and bitter tasting as most bar Guinness but it still didn't measure up. I only had a couple of Smithwicks so maybe when it comes here on tap it will be worth drinking and I won't remember what I am missing.
I should have brought as much guinness as I could carry back with me but I settled for 3 beers from the biddy early brewery in Inaugh. I will be consuming them with the friend I went with this month. thanks for the info even though it is disappointing. Why do we have to boil the life out of beer here!

[Radical Activist]

92. The new Bud Select

makes me want to hurl.

[Placebo]

93. It's ALL bad.

I don't know how people drink this stuff. :puke:

[speedoo]

41. Coors. Because Pete is a rethug idiot.

Who also made boring TV ads.

[Seabiscuit]

44. Just for you:

His wife wasn't any better:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=5538347&mesg_id=5538522

[LynneSin]

59. And a drunk himself

http://www.denverpost.com/ci_4046846

[CrushTheDLC]

130. I think that's why Coors is really leading this poll

Granted, the beer is shitty. But is it that much shittier than Bud, Miller, or the rest, or is it just because Pete Coors is a vile piece of shit?

My vote really wasn't for either. It was because I drove by the Coors brewery once and nearly gagged just on the stench coming out of the building. And I've toured enough breweries to know that even bad beer smells good in the process. Something else entirely was going on in Golden. I hope none of Pete Coors political enemies never disappeared under "mysterious circumstances", or they might want to check his grain silo for skeletal remains.

[Seabiscuit]

42. Does no one remember Rheingold?

Or the Miss Rhiengold ads on the New York subway?

http://www.midmanhattan.com/articles/aRheingold.htm

Reviews of this old beer generally describe its taste as grassy, corny and metallic.

UGH!

[Iniquitous Bunny]

43. Busch or Keystone

:puke:

[Zomby Woof]

45. I give Keystone the edge

Just because of their "plastic lining" in the can. :rofl: It's the proverbial lipstick on a pig.

[Iniquitous Bunny]

50. Word.

That stuff is nasty. x(

[smtpgirl]

46. SO WHERE IS THE ANEHEUSER-BUSCH MILLER

PRODUCTS.

AMERICAN BEER SUCKS, THE ONLY SAVING GRACE IS THE MICRO-BREWS

HOW DO YOU PEOPLE DRINK THAT SWILL!!!!
:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:
:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

I would rather drink Lever 2000 body wash than vote for the worst American Beer,

My beers at least have some taste and alcoholic content.

When I want water, I drink water H20!!

If you drink that backwash, you deserve dining with *ush

[trogdor]

84. Drink local.

We have Saranac up here in central NY. My faves are the Pale Ale and the Oktoberfest Lager. Truly excellent beer. They even make cheap beer - Utica Club - which isn't bad for cheap beer. I use it to make Beer Can Chicken.

Quickie recipe;

Ingredients:
1 small or medium roasting chicken.
1 can of beer.
Whatever you rub on chicken to make it taste good - I use Lawry's seasoned salt.

Fire up your gas grill. If you have at least three burners, turn the middle one(s) off. Turn the outer ones to medium low. You're shooting for a cooking temp of about 375.

Wash your chicken real good, and apply your rub. Open the can of beer, pour out (or drink) 1/3 of the contents, and shove up the body cavity of the chicken. Place chicken on the grill with the can and two legs providing support like a tripod. Close the lid and set a timer for about 80-90 minutes, depending on the size of the bird. Retrieve the chicken and remove the beer can (without spilling it all over), carve and serve.

[evlbstrd]

48. I have to go with Lone Star.

Some of the nastiest beer I have ever swilled.

[OzarkDem]

51. Corona n/t

[arwalden]

70. Hmmm...

... I thought that was a Mexican beer.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

124. Mexico is not part of the United States.

That's why we're building the Great Wall of America.

[Seabiscuit]

52. Oh, man, Coors is taking a beating!!!

With 50% of the votes in a field of 10 hideous choices, it looks like Coors is the King of Nausea.

[Seabiscuit]

53. Has no one ever puked on Red Bull?

I never tried it, but have heard it's pretty rancid.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

125. Uh...no and...Red Bull isn't beer or alcoholic at all.

It's a mixer.

[Seabiscuit]

136. Oh. Well, no wonder.

I thought I saw it in the beer section of the supermarket once.

[Reciprocity]

55. Bush I mean Busch.

[Seabiscuit]

56. Either one is like sticking a finger down your throat.

[SoyCat]

57. I'm not sure if anyone has listed it yet but I believe it's called Hamm's.

In the early 90's, my sister's FIL used to drink it and it cost him a grand, whopping $2.18 a 6-pk.

[flvegan]

66. Seconded. Hamm's isn't beer...it's punishment.

[Seabiscuit]

76. Thirded. How could I forget Hamm's? Right down there with Colt 45

[xmas74]

159. I'll still take a Hamm's over a Bud.

At least they had a great commercial and one of the best jingles ever.

[noonwitch]

91. They had the best ads when I was a kid

"From the land of clear, blue water" with the cartoon bear and all.

[LibertyLover]

105. Hamm's was awful

but their ads were kind of fun - what with the bear who looked more intelligent than the actor/spokesperson.

[bigwillq]

58. Bud (nt)

[Richardo]

60. Mickey's Big Mouth = worst ever

Every bottle I've ever opened smelled like fresh skunk piss. :puke:

[Seabiscuit]

79. You may be right. I never tasted it - the smell drove me away.

[Richardo]

81. When I say 'every bottle' I mean two or three...

...even as an underage college freshman/sophomore I was not that desperate to drink.

[Frank Cannon]

121. Mickey's is a malt liquor too

And yes, popping the top on a Mickey's is like having a skunk fart in your face.

[hunter]

160. First time I ever thought "Wow, I'm an adult..." I was drinking Mickey's

I was in college and I had an evening class with a whole lot of nothing to do between that class and my last afternoon class. A bright young beautiful woman wearing a tube top, shorts, and sandals invited me into the bushes behind the parking lot to drink Mickey's.

I can remember every detail about her but her name. I don't remember much of anything about class that night.

[ForrestGump]

61. If I drank alcohol, I have a very strong feeling I wouldn't like

any of the American beers. Not the major labels, anyway...and I doubt I'd be too enthused about sampling the products of a brazillion microbreweries, for that matter. I'd probably be an import-beer snob rather than a microbrewery-snob. :D

Or I'd just add Everclear to sodas and go about my day.

[mainegreen]

62. Natty Boh Ice is the worst beer ever

[smtpgirl]

108. When National Bohemian MADE beer in Baltimore

National Bohemian (Natty BO)
National Premium

Were great beers, now all of the BIGS make sterile, no character beer.


If Corona
Coors
Bud
Miller
Schlitz

are served, I AVOID IT

except for PBR (Pabst Blue Ribbon)

Prolly the best out of the bunch

Beers I drank early on
Rolling Rock $2.36 an 8-pack
Piels
St. Pauli Girl
Becks
Dortmunder Union
Peroni
Red Cap Ale Made by Carling's in Canada, NOT GREAT BRITAIN, a misnomer, Carlings was out of Canada & Ohio
Valley Forge - .56 per quart (bumper) Capital City Brewing Co, WDC
Carlsberg Elephant Beer
Labatt's

[Mutley]

140. I second Natty Boh.

Yuck yuck yuck! :puke:

[buddhamama]

64. Coors is the only one I have tried from your list

it was nasty. :thumbsdown:

[YankeyMCC]

65. Bud

I used to think beer was supposed to taste bad and you just put up with it to get drunk. I thought that was the point. :)

So I never liked Bud and most other mass produced beers (I used to like the lighter brews like Coors and Rolling Rock because they specifically had Less of that taste.

But Bud still stands out as the worst to my mind. Sometimes it even tastes salty to me.

[Lowell]

67. Americans can't make good beer

I never drink anything made in America unless there is nothing else to choose from. Then I usually leave and go someplace with Guiness, Harp of Tucher's. The worse of all is Bud. Yeech!

[mainegreen]

68. Oi! Not true! Come up to Maine and sample some of our beers

and say that!

[Lowell]

72. I gotta admit

I spent many an evening at the Wooden Nickle in Waterville, ME chugging down a few. But usually not domestic. Next time I'm up that way I'll have to check out some of the local micros.

[calico1]

69. All of the above.

They all taste disgusting to me.

[Seabiscuit]

75. More sickening American beers mentioned here:

Those participating in this thread have added the following nauseating swill (some I've never heard of before) to the list:

Natural Light
The Beast (Milwaukee's Best)
Icehouse
Michelob Ultra
Brown Derby
Rolling Rock
King Cobra
Budweiser
Miller
Meister Brau
"the kind with the panther on it"
Hipster
Steel Reserve 211
Yuengling Lager
Busch
Keystone
Lone Star
Red Bull
Hamm's
Mickey's Big Mouth
Natty Boh Ice
Duke
Red White & Blue

[JVS]

134. Steel Reserve and Hamm's rule. When did they last make Duke?

[One_Life_To_Give]

78. Duke

With Red White and Blue a close second. But what do you expect for $4 a case.

[trogdor]

82. Schaffer is the...one beer to have...

...when you're having more than one.

Seriously, I've tasted lots worse than Coors. You people are letting your politics influence your taste buds. The worst I've had is Schlitz Malt Liquor. How people can drink that stuff (gag) just to get blasted is beyond my comprehension. There's 5 liter box wine that will do the job much more efficiently while being reasonably drinkable.

[jus_the_facts]

83. OTHER: Milwaukee's Best...which was deemed THE BEAST....

:puke:

[otohara]

86. Bud Smells Like Skunk

that just got hit by a car.

[Taverner]

90. Coors. And here's why.

Pabst Blue Ribbon, Milwaukee's Beast, etc...are all considered cheap, bad beer. They live up to their reputation, and as a result, you get exactly what you expect.

Now Coors fluctuates - sometimes it's piss poor, other times it's merely shitty and at even other times it tastes like Adolph Coors and the rest of the Colorado Nazi Party pissed in each bottle lovingly.

At least Budweiser is consistently shitty.

[Arugula Latte]

94. "Honey, go get me a can of Nazi Piss, will ya?"

x(

[Dulcinea]

95. All of the above.

OK, I've never had Ballantine or Rheingold, but the others on the list are awful.

Miller Genuine Draft is an affront to beer drinkers everywhere. In fact all Miller products are.

All Anheuser-Busch's products give me a headache, as does Coors Light.
I'm very angry with Anheuser-Busch right now for taking one of my favorites, Rolling Rock, out of its rightful home in Latrobe & moving it to Newark. A pox on them! :mad:

[Seabiscuit]

98. Rheingold's been around since the 18th Century; Ballantine used to

be the New York Yankees biggest sponsor (along with Gilette) in the 50's - Mel Allen, broadcasting the Yankees games used to sing its praises: "Hey, get 'yer cold beer! Hey, get 'yer Ballantine. Hey, get 'yer iced cold beer, get your iced cold Ballantine beer!"

They both are New York beers, as far as I know.

Rheingold used to have Miss Rheingold contests.

No matter how much they promoted themselves, they still made piss poor beers.

[warrens]

96. Miller High Life should be there

I voted Old Milwaukee, but MHL tastes like insecticide.

[Seabiscuit]

99. I'll trade your insecticide any day for Janitor-In-A-Drum Schlitz.

:)

[Seabiscuit]

100. Finally! A vote for Rheingold!!! n/t

Meanwhile, Mr. & Mrs. Coors must be rolling in their graves by now.

[NC_Nurse]

104. What? No Buttwiper?

I mean Budweiser...I hate that stuff! :puke:

[KamaAina]

107. Duff

What do you mean, you can't get it? It's everywhere around Springfield!

Mmmm... beer... :beer:

[Common Sense Party]

111. Two words: Grain Belt.

End of discussion.

Stuff is so nasty it made me stop drinking beer forever.

[NNadir]

114. You don't have Utica Club on your list.

I don't know if Utica Club still exists, but if it does, it shouldn't.

I was once at a band practice with a bunch of other 19 year olds and we actually didn't drink the stuff. Imagine that 19 year old guys with beer they wouldn't drink.

[ovidsen]

152. Absolutely the worst

I don't think Utica Club's made anymore. Good riddance. It was the beer of last resort in upstate NY in the 1960s. Nicknamed "Squaw Piss". Yes, I know. Very UN-PC... but that's what we called it.

[LA lady]

115. BUDWEISER

Should be called Bitter Horse Piss

[PittPoliSci]

116. how is Pabst not number 1?

it tastes like sawdust!!!

[Seabiscuit]

118. Because Schlitz tastes like sawdust on the floor of a sawdust bar.

[PittPoliSci]

119. hahaha!

:toast:

[Seabiscuit]

135. I take it that answered your question...

Weren't expecting that, were you?

:toast:

[Omphaloskepsis]

123. I can barely taste PBR..

It barely has any flavor. Pepsi has more flavor. IMHO..

[leftofthedial]

122. I despise Coors (my "local" factory brew)

because of the nazi Coors family.

but it's not the worst tasting factory beer.

[baldguy]

128. The Green Screamer

I'm surprised this hasn't been mentioned.

[Kire]

131. All Beers

:puke:

[JVS]

132. Laser!

Laser makes many of the beers in your poll taste delicious by comparison.

[dropkickpa]

155. Oh dear god,

All I can say about Laser (or, if you wanna Strongbad-erize it, LAZER) is the time the cops pulled up on me and some friends drinking in a park at night (high school) and they just laughed and laughed because we were drinking Laser. Even worse, we were happy to pour it out (well, not quite happy, more relieved than anything). The cops let us go with a warning and "Tomorrow will be punishment enough for you". They were right. The only reason we got it is because it was something like $4.00 for a 12 pack and all we had was $6.

We had the cans because we couldn't afford the bottles.

[JVS]

161. Sweet! Is Laser a Pittsburgh thing? I grew up there and drank it!

Next time I'm in town for xmas let's get some 40s of laser and try to drink them!

[GalleryGod]

141. That sludge from Pottsville, PA.

Ying-Yang or sumthin' like dat dare:toast: :puke: :beer:

[Eurobabe]

146. Hubastank shit

Yuengling

Skunk beer

[SteppingRazor]

142. Milwaukee's Best -- "The Beast" takes the cake for sheer undrinkability nt

[Burma Jones]

144. Red, White and Blue - It was Pabst's Generic beer........

I believe it is defunct now....

Wiedemann's was also amongst the worst beer I've ever had.....

[Eurobabe]

145. Bud & anything from Miller

Haha, sorry you have to suffer, I now live in the beer capital of the world. Germany.

Rough life, but somebody's gotta do it.

[terrya]

147. Keystone

An inferior version of Coors, if that's even possible.

[Zavulon]

148. Genessee Cream Ale.

That stuff was what evil tastes like, and you paid for it during sitdown trips to the bathroom the next day.

[ovidsen]

154. I liked Genny Cream!

But you're right. You were chained to the toilet the next day.

[jmowreader]

149. The worst American beer has not yet been named

They call it Champale. A malt liquor that was supposed to taste like champagne.

The company who made it even suggested getting it "very cold" and serving it in champagne glasses.

I didn't know champagne was supposed to taste like gasoline. This product is unspeakable vile.

If you google Champale you will come across a page of Champale ads...apparently Champale moved from the suburbs to the ghetto, for after about the fifth year of Champale advertising all of the models were black women wearing dressy clothes and no makeup.

[Seabiscuit]

151. I remember the Champale ads.

I scratched my head wondering what kind of doofus moran conceived of that wretched mishmash - beer/champagne?????

[Fox Mulder]

150. Hard to just pick one...

Budeweiser, Natty Ice, The Beast, Gleuk...

Those are but a few of the worst tasting beers I have ever had.

[hotforteacher]

153. Olympia or Pig's Eye Ice n/t

[datasuspect]

162. milwaukee's beast

or natural light.

both cheep as a motherfucker though.

[Seabiscuit]

164. And the winner (loser) is: COORS!

Head and shoulders below the rest (including Moosehead beer).

I get the feeling though that politics had something to do with it. :)
