I'm going to brew a Czech Pilsner in a couple weeks, I love a good pilsner....well I thought to get prepared I'd sample a few Canada has to offer. Although the Steelback Beer commercials make me want to puke (Canadian Brewery) I saw they had two offerings, a Copperhead Pilsner and a Wild Bruce County Pilsner, I bought 6 each....it was 12 too many.
When I cracked the first Wild I noticed it's bottles in green plastic PET bottles with a cheesy wrapper over top with a cheesy logo...no probs I can use those bottles!!!!
Well, to make a long story not quite as long....it's the worst beer I EVER tasted, absolute garbage...in fact I almost wanted to pour it down the drain! I tried the Copperhead later with pretty much the same opinion, spew, horrible.....definitely the worst beer I have ever had to choke sown (and that includes my first attempt at a Mr. Beer brew that was basically sparkling pond water!).

So...what's the worst you've ever had?

Wow, you got your pond water to sparkle?!? I would have to say Coors Light.....I really do not get it, as far as beer goes. I'd hold it more to the water side of the spectrum. Other than that, I had a smoked ale last year at a beer festival and it actually tasted like someone had poured the juices of a spiral ham into a bottle....yuck! I wish I could remember the name of it, so I could forewarn the unknowing :D

Since I have a very bad habit of buying every beer I've never heard of when I find a good beer store I've had lots of the worst beers in the world. None really come to mind. My wife always accuses me of permanently forgetting bad experiences, with crappy beer its a major advantage.

Back in the 80's I was poor and I bought a 12 pack of Schaefer for around $3. It lasted a month and I was never able to finish a whole can.

I was in my (then) backyard, building a picnic table, talking to my (then) wife and drinking sips out of the bottle. Without any fanfare, while still conversing, I held the bottle at arm's length and up-ended it on the lawn. My ex thought I'd slipped over the edge 'cause I was pouring out beer!

Sadly, it came from a place I absolutely love - The Tap brewpub in my hometown of Haverhill, MA. Stop in every time I'm home.
Unfortunately, someone thought it was a good idea to brew a beer with beets and color it up with beet juice for Halloween.

Called it "Blood of 1000 Corpses" (a nod to local legend Rob Zombie?).

My buddy reviewed it on BA. I couldn't bear to.
Yank a beet from the ground, neglect to rinse it off and take a big 'ol bite.
You've just experienced Blood of 1000 Corpses.

Thankfully, that's been the only drainpour in the dozens of beers I've had from The Tap.

I bought a sixer last weekend and had one on Saturday. I'm very unimpressed. I'll try a couple more at different temps before I condemn it. In general I'm not impressed at all with Dogfish Head beers.

I just remebered DFH's pumpkin ale. After three sips of the first one I poured it out and never opened another.

I don't know what was going on a couple years back when they had the brewer's conference in New Orleans, but I tried every style Cresent City Brewery had on tap and had to send them all back. The beer tasted like it had been run thru a dirty bar towel. They must have been dealing with draft line problems. The thing that really got me was everyone around me seemed to think it was great.:eek:

Not counting beers that have actually gone off owing to age or mishandling:

Champale A bad idea, a bad beer.
Wiedemans This is the beer that made me think I didn't like beer, for that I can never forgive them. I used to think I'd never tasted urine but after a can of this I'm not so sure.
Hops Potomac Yard (all) A shockingly bad brewery. Their best beers lack taste, it goes downhill from there.
Tetley's Bitter Just because it's cask doesn't make it good. I will drink just about any British cask beer. I would turn this down without thinking.
Mystery Munich Beer (Helles) - The last time I was in Munich I drank at this little kneipe near the viktualienmarkt. The place was a dive, the beer was appaling, tasting of fresh iodine and not much else. I'd put this under "exception that proves the rule" as far as Bavarian brewing. As a note I think I know the name of the bewer but don't want to put it down and besmirch their name if I'm wrong, I'll try to get the straight dope so others may benefit from my misfortune.
Stella Artois (Britsh brewed) - Stella at the height of its flavor is a run of the mill Continental Pilsner. The licensed brew in Britain is barn runoff.
Miller High Life/MGD/Lite - As much grief as I give the macro brewers, in truth the only one that brews flat out over the top bad tasting beer is Miller. Bud is nondescript to bad when ice cold, Coors I could be convinced is made with malt, but Miller tastes like Genuine Draft Tijuana Sewer Water.
"Malt Liquor" - Pretty much every one of the usual suspects (St. Ides, OE800, King Cobra, Steel Reserve,etc.) that I've had the misfortune to taste in my stupid youth have tasted of utter pish. There's a certain cache and right of passage element to this category, but in the end these brews are in no way, shape, or form about flavor. Well good flavor.
Brimstone Big Strong Ale (the original) A buddy of still swears he likes this but I think he's to ashamed to admit it's really the beer geek snob thing at work. I've not had any of the later vintages made by Frederick Brewing, but the original was a phenol laced poison that resembled nothing so much as kerosene.
Cave Creek Chili Beer Excellent for personal protection, not so good for drinking. Doesn't taste like there's any natural ingredients in this thing at all.

Must've been a bad run. I've really enjoyed their beers. The Black Stallion is (or has been) excellent). I've been to the CC many times and never had a bad pint.

I second Carling's Black Label. I drank many a bad beer in my misspent youth, but good lord, that Carling's is rank. I understand it has a bit of a cult following now, similar to the inexplicable popularity of PBR...?

Ditto on those. Also way up there for me is Lawson Creek Red Ale brewed by Gluek. It tastes like water with a stray stale hop, Great Western Gold which tasted like creamed corn in a can, and Budweiser Brew Masters Private Reserve which was an overly cloying horror of a beer.

I like Cricket Hill , their American Lager is what Bud, Coors ect should be.
Tudor was the house brand that the A&P supermarket sold back in the 60's and 70's ( i don't know who brewed it for them) . Tudor cream ale tasted bad back than when mass produced swill was all you could get!

Nice effort, these descriptions are hilarious. I'm going to have to find a way to use the term 'barn runoff' soon.

I would agree with Miller High Life. The stuff literally does not taste like beer. I have also heard it contains some sort of plastic material. I have no idea if this is true, but I sincerely enjoy spreading this *possible* urban legend. :D

When I was in New Orleans ( 'New Aulens') had some Jax and I think Dixie beer that made me feel like I was at a corn roast drinking the water used to rinse off the cobbs.

Drank some Pickett's Pride from Iowa once. Didn't bother to drink it twice.

Natural Lice

Cedar Mountain

Buckhorn- "In the tradition of the famous Buckhorn Bar"(Which I'd never heard of) Me and a couple of friends got some of that for a party once back in December 1985. What we didn't drink I put in my car's transmission- not really, but it was THAT BAD!

And of course there's also Goebel, which I refuse to buy again if I can help it.

Anything with that corn flavor of the mass produced malt liquors of the 70s. I simply cannot drink Liquor de Malt from DFH and recently, although I'll give it a second try - New Glarus Spotted Cow. I'm not totally opposed to the usage of corn or maize in brewing. But some beers just have it too much in the flavor profile. Too many old memories for me to choke those down.

I've had many bad brews overs the years. many just old or skunked bottles or some that have been mishandled. But generally those tend to be a one time deal and I'll usually give the brand or beer a second shot later.

Anyone here ever been to Crazy Ed's Satisfied Frog? That's the brewpub in Cave Creek where they make Chili Beer. I was up there one weekend for my 40th birthday when my older sister was living in Cave Creek. Of course I won't say Chili Beer is the best I've ever had, but I do get it on occaison because it is from a state I truly loved living in(Ad DEFINITELY MISS in this 15F degree weather!!) and the only Arzona beer available here.

out of all the American swill, Schaefer is by far the best. if i'm stuck with no beer and in some deli that only has swill and its the only place around and i'm already drunk and shouldn't be driving...(ok get it?) i'd pick Schaefer over all of the other guys. you can (and i really do mean this) taste a significant hop flavor in Schaefer - especially as compared to the others. not even kidding. dont have to force it down at all. substantially better than something like schlitz, hamms, pabst, BMC etc..

All the Ice beers are disgusting. But what do you expect from a style whose sole reason for being is to increase the alcohol content wthout adding any additional fermentable material? Are they stll brewing these? I haven't seen an ice beer on the shelf in a long time.

Alexander Keith's is probably the worst example of an IPA I have ever tried, I don;t know how they can call it an IPA really?

While in Canada if you get a chance try the Magnotta IPA from the beer store (if they stock it?), it's not a bad IPA at all.

I was at a beer dinner on Tuesday evening. With one of the courses - Belgian Mussells, we also were served a plate of frites.
They were quite good. I'm not a fry fanatic but If I'm gonna have them, they have to have mayo or malt vinegar and salt. All of the times I've been in France I don't think I ever ordered fries. Too much good food there for that.

I know from experience that they are making Natty Ice - many of my friends drink it.

Most disgusting stuff I ever had. This was back in my high-school days, when I would chug most anything, and knew nothing about beer. Even then, I couldn't get 1/2 a 40oz of this stuff down. It was rancid. Have never encountered that beer again, and hope I never do.


This too is still made, its the beer of choice for most of the bums here in Columbus.

Oh and the worst beer was a random belgian called Bios. Think lambic with extra vinegar. Then dry-silage it.

Back in the eighties I was constantly broke and experienced pretty much every cheap beer there was. And I gotta say, before Heileman got involved, Red, White and Blue was one of my favorites. But I am not proud, or necessarily picky, either. I still kind of enjoy a PBR once in awhile.

But in all my experience, the absolute worst beer I EVER had was a thing called Edelweiss. It came in a sixpack of 16 oz bottles for under two bucks at the local 7-11. And it was grossly overpriced. Even as an 18 year old kid I would not finish it. Take two bottles of Blatz and distribute it evenly among six sixteen ounce bottles, top off with club soda, and there you have Edelweiss. Absolute piss.

Another fond memory of College: a case of Blatz quarts ($5.99) a bunch of friends on a sunday afternoon and Dungeons and Dragons.

hehe, no Blatz in my area but I remember those good ole D&D days too, although for us it was Labatt 50 or O.V. Old Vienna, or Old vomit as we called it!

I actually still kinda like O.V. and 50..not really sure why.

Black Label I swear is bottle horse piss?

Each to his own - I always liked the Blackhook. Maybe it's gone downhill of late...?

One of the worste beers I've had is Coors dry. Despite it winning first place at the Great American beerfest, it wasn't brewed for very long. This was back when I actually liked Old English 800. That tells you how bad it was. Recently the worst beers I had is Lagunitas Censored. The first sip was good. By the time I was half way through the bottle it was terrible. I finished the six pack but it never tasted good. Widmer Hefe is one that I have tried to like. Three times I bought a six pack thinking I could aquire a taste for it like I did with Spaten. It still tastes like buttermilk or plain yogurt. Just too sour. Lee

I have always thought Widmer Hefe was over-rated. I have been told when it fresh at the brewery it is better but what beer isn't?

Buckeye Brown by Buckeye Brewing Co. It was simply awful. Somebody forgot to tell the brewer about hops. All malt tasting and wretched. My father who will drink anything, dumped it out after one sip. The all-time worst in my book.:eek:

Isn't that a furniture polish?

No, only tastes like it. Actually one time I was buying a bottle of it and the checker asked me what it was . I said it is beer. He replied,"I thought it was furniture polish". Lee

A local brewpub has an Russian Imperial Stout. It is has the distinction of being the only beer to have the sample sent back by me.

Usually when I go to brewpubs, I make little notes on a napkin or something about the beers. On this night, I wrote, "No wonder the Russians stick to Vodka." That was it.

I need to revise my last post on this subject. I just tried a beer called Reibenbach ice ale. After taking a sip of this I would have welcomed a King Cobra to wash the bad taste out of my mouth. Lee
