What is the worst beer?

Rolling Rock. Tastes like ham flavored water.

Coors? Schlitz? Hamms?

I would choose one bottle of Sam Adams over a warehouse full of Coors.

Iron City

The Alchemist's Heady Topper. Only because it is the most hyped IPA in the world outside of Pliny and tastes like the unfortunate child of Sierra Nevada and Budweiser.

Yes, I have a few cases in my basement and love it...can get it in WI. People that tell me that these types of beer are gross...can suck it. Grow a pair. I can have 5 blatzs to your one IPA that tastes like ground up lawn clippings.

Come on, Heady Topper is not a bad beer. This anti-hipster hipsterism is painful.

O'Douls is the only beer I've really hated, if we consider NA a beer. If not, Blue Moon is bad and upsets my stomach more than other wheat beers.

Maybe my disappointment dissolved into it and changed the flavor, but it was a lifeless beer that had just enough hop flavor to keep it from being clean, but not enough to actually do anything for me.

I'm spoiled with the NEIPA scene on the coast and never had Heady Topper until after I had plenty of other great stuff. They've had problems with their yeast over the past few years and the product has apparently dropped off. Plus, I think for many people it was the first beer of its kind and holds a special place in their hearts, so they enjoy it still because of that.

But for me, it was a total bust.

Any light beer (diet beer) is bad. Coors Light is undrinkable. It is absolutely true that real men do not drink light/diet beer.

Most US mass produced domestics suck: Coors is awful, Bud is bad. Miller is the only one that is okay.

A lot of Mexican beers are not as good as people pretend. Pacifico, Corona both suck.

Canadian beers aren't as good as people pretend either. Molson and Labatt's are pretty average.

I'd go with Coors and its diet offspring being the worst beer. Suckage.

Some of the baddest dudes i know drink light beer..and a bunch of it. And some of the softest guys i know drink craft and have zero ladies in their orbit

Hamm's on top at Chet's in the Quad Cities (undergrad) - incredibly gross (90% the taps);

Miller High Life (again undergrad) - never could find an unskunked bottle;

I've never been able to drink Busch or Busch Light - always tasted weirdly/sickly sweet;

Please note that I love beer, the above were repeatedly my worst experiences. Yes, repeatedly. Dammit, I tried:-)

Heady Topper - if you have it fresh, its amazing. One of the best beers I've ever had, and it was 10 days after canning. Then, I had one that was two months old and it was very average. IPAs really need to be consumed fresh.

A local brewery makes an amazing seasonal IPA. I saved one once to give a friend and forgot about it; three months later it was off-testing enough that I poured it down the drain.

Back to this thread - I actually have grown to really like Hamms or Gansett as a hot day, refreshing post run/lawn mowing type beer. Do not like Montucky at all, do not recommend.

In college, Keystone Light was not good...but still moderately inoffensive...then I had an Old Milwaukie and learned what truly bad cheap beer tastes light.

and definitely anything advertised as tasting like a fruit.

ooooooooooooooooooooohhh can you taste the citrusy pineapple flavours?

why on gods earth does anyone want their beer to taste of fruit? Advertising madness and herd idiocy.

Beer is an acquired taste. Meaning it is not tasty when you first taste it, hence why some add flavors to it. In general all beer doesn't taste good.

My college buddies used to always get Keystone Light. It cost something like $1 more for a pitcher of MGD which had a slight amount of flavor (relatively speaking). But no. Keystone Light every freaking time. This was back in the late 80s. So, you had to go to a specialty grocer to find a 6 of Anchor Steam or Sam Adams. Fosters was pretty exotic back then.

Setting aside the sh%tty mass produced domestic f-ing in a canoe beers, I am very sick of citrus IPAs. I know a craft beer brewer and he refuses to do a citrus IPA. He swears that citrus IPAs are all just mistakes. I think he is right because early on in the craft brewing explosion, a local brewer made an IPA that was heavy with citrus. Eventually, it was renamed and marketed as a citrus and another IPA line took its place.

Root Beer.

I know it's not a beer.

But I didn't know that when I drank my first and only one.

Olde English 800

Fosters is absolutely disgusting.

Olde English 800. Just truly awful and undrinkable.
