They left off Samuel Adams.

Not heard of a lot of those, but Milwaukee's Best is a fine beer :)
Anything with fruit is a bad beer, except St Arnold's Lawnmower, with its hint of lemon, and excepting Mexican beers and limes.

This guy went to too much effort, it's way easier than this to find bad beer; even world's worst. What kind of worst beer list doesnt include Dixie?
-
In my opinion, Blitz beer from Oregon is the worst beer I've ever tasted. Eating the can it came in was preferable to drinking it. Dixie is bad, but not that bad.
-
Irrespective of whether you classify it as beer, Steel Reserve "High Gravity Lager" is one of the worst things I've ever tasted. Also, there's a strong case to be made for Olympia being on the list.
-
Where would Schlitz and the current incarnations of Pearl and Lone Star rate?
-
I haven't had many of the beers listed, but Shiner's Hef (blasphemy, I'm sure) and Tequiza (a nice hint of Fruit Loops) would make my top 2. I simply cannot finish either.
Pulque would rank pretty high too, but I'm not sure you'd consider that beer. Apparently Pulque is spanish for "tastes like monkey shit."
-
In college, one of my buddies asked some of us to make a beer run for him. So we picked him up a 12-pack of Milwaukee's Best and a pack of Virginia Slims. He was more than a little dissapointed; he never asked us to get him beer again.

Pulque is now fashionable with yuppie Chilangos. My father in law used to import produce from Mexico and got hold of a large pickle jar of some type of crude moonshine from a guy down there. It had some real nasty looking fruit down at the bottom of the jar but that did not prevent he and I and a couple other brothers in law from getting silly ass drunk one night on his patio much to the displeasure of the females who came out of the house to see us sprawled out on the floor speaking Aztec to one another.
-
There are two types of bad beer :
1) Cheap Beer
2) Experiment-that-went-wrong Beer
Pearl, Olympia, Schlitz and the Beast are in category one (or they should be). If you are used to drinking cheap beer, like I am, then they are within an acceptable cost-benefit range. Blitz was $2.99 a twelve pack in 1995 and that seemed like too much.
I don't mess around with category two. In fact, probably the worst beer I've ever had are other people's microbrews.

I agree with Sub in that I differentiate between "bad" and "cheap" beer. I don't drink much of the stuff anymore, but my college days have permanently placed Keystone in a special place in my heart.
The perfect storm of "bad" and "cheap" beer I've ever come across: Sportz Beer. I've only seen it at one HEB in my high school days for about $4 a 12er.

Yes, indeed. Sportz was (is?) one of the most amazingly shitty cheap beers ever crafted. We got it once in college, at the Hancock HEB in Austin - $3.50 for 12. Holy shit, it was bad. There was also a Sportz Light, but none of ever dared to try it. A couple of the regulars was all that was required to push us slightly back up the cheap beer continuum, to the usual rotation of Keystone, Icehouse and Red Dog.

How you put those two in the same class is beyond me, but I fully agree on the Tequiza. I'd always described it as crap beer with Jolly Ranchers in it, but Froot Loops is about right, too. Someone brought some Miller Chills to my house this weekend, and I was reminded of the Tequiza catastrophe. You just don't need to do that to beer. Salt, limes and Tequila are all commercially available products - if you want your beer to taste like that, is it really so hard to put it in yourself, rather than drink something flavored with syrup?

There were 12 when they arrived, and 12 when they were leaving, so even the people who brought them didn't want to drink that shit. They will not be invited back.

I agree they shouldn't belong in the same sentence, but they're the two most recent beers that crinkled my nose. I think my attitude toward the Shiner Hefe is more disappointment than anything else. Shiner + Hefe = quality beer in theory. In practice, not so much. Of course, on the label it says you're supposed to pour half of the bottle into a glass, then do something else and then something else before drinking it (I can't remember exactly because I obviously didn't try). If I have to perform a scientific experiment to pour a pint of beer, I'd rather have a black & tan.
And, for the record, Sportz Light is worse than Sportz. Shaefer, on the other hand....
-

Yeah. Fuckers. You know, that's why garbage cans were invented - I don't take my kid's used diapers to someone else's house to get rid of them. Just this morning, those Chills were donated to the permanent collection at the City of Austin's Solid Waste archives, as they should have been in the first place.

Hardest job in the world: miller lite chill promotional girl or miller lite chill target promotee?
I actually encountered a Miller Lite Chill promo girl at the Pearland HEB last week.
Promo Girl: "Sir, would you like to try a sample of our newest product, Miller Chill?
me: [blank stare]
PG: Its light and refreshing with a subtle hint of natural lime flavor...
me: [trying -unsuccessfully- to restrain my laughter] Uhh... do you know where they keep the St. Arnolds?
-------
as an aside: I seem to remember that one of the Miller Lite Man Laws (from the square table ad campaign) was "Don't fruit the beer".
-
JazzFest this weekend had the swill trifecta, Miller Lite, MGD and Chill (for an extra $1). You could also have a Fosters, if you only wanted to drink beer on Thursday as they ran out of it straight away.
-

Pulque is disgusting.. I remember checking the nutritional facts and fat was an ingredient.
-
Genesse, followed by Genny Light, Genny Ice, Genny Red, and the worst of all, Genny (s)Cream Ale. They just keep getting worse as you keep experimenting.
-
Remember, part of the "brewing" process for pulque involves people spitting in it, at least traditionally.
Carling Black Label is pretty fucking bad, or was. I am thinking Clemens might like it, since it was named for a prepubescent girl.
Weingarten's used to sell something called Lucky Lager. I believe it was brewed in Oakland or somewhere. Long Beach? It came in those old 12 oz. squat brown bottles, and was $.99 a six-pack (in the late 1970s.) About what you would expect.
A few weeks ago I stopped in a convenience store on the way to work, about 7:30 a.m., and there was a skinny little girl in there buying a pack of cigarettes and a 40 oz. Mickey's Big Mouth. Nice brfeakfast. I was both smiling with nostalgia, and appalled.

San Francisco, originally. Now brewed in Canada, and EXTREMELY prevalent in places like Whistler and Vancouver.
-
Schaefer, on the other hand....
...is one of nature's ways of reminding you that death isn't the worst thing that can happen to you... just the last.
-
Schaefer isn't all that bad, considering what it costs. Strosrays, you're hitting all the high notes from my high school with those choices, between bouts with Ripple Pagan Pink and TJ Swan. But really, I can't think of a fouler "beer" than Texas Pride. Sorta like a skunky Tecate, with more dirt flavor and essence of corncobs.

Yes. I was just at both and was *very* surprised how hard it was to find a good brew. Not like the rest of Canada.

You nailed it, otter. Billy was Jimmy Carter's older brother, Jimmy's mother (Miss Lillian's) favorite son. He had his very own beer for a VERY short period of time.
SNL did a great take-off on the family one time with Aykroyd as Jimmy and I believe Gary Busey as Billy. I think Gilda was Mrs. Carter, but I can't recall much detail after that.

It technically *is* a beer. The fact that it's made from grain makes it a beer, as opposed to fruit, which would make it a wine. Of course, if you're British, then you can do away with the grain and just mix hops and water and call it "beer".

They advertised it as beer. The fact that it tasted like stale vodka-tonic doesn't change what it was.

They advertised it as Zomething Zifferent. Which was nice, because it let you know right away that it was obnoxious and unpleasant.
I believe the bottle was labeled "flavored malt beverage", which is accurate, and sounds nicer than "beer, but clear, and without the hops, and with corn syrup and artificial flavoring, and brewed/mixed specifically for pussies".

Not sure what the site contains due to work internet filters, but we conceived a horrible drinking game in college named "Five Rockys Five Fortified Wines." Watch all five Rockys back to back while drinking a MD 20/20, Wild Irish Rose, Thunderbird, Cisco, and Orange Driver for each one. The latter two drinks being the worst. Cisco was banned in NY because bums were hallucinating...or so the legend goes, and the label on Orange Driver reads, "Made from choice sub-standard grapes."
For those interested in re-living their college days, or are living them currently, I'd suggest Mad Dog Redemption instead. Drink two big Mad Dogs in the time it takes to watch Shawshank. This is not difficult but the mere presence of a deadline increases the intensity to the point that everyone is racing to the finish just past the half way point.

Actually, when drinking Killians out of the tap at the coors brewery, it is okay. I agree that it sucks ass out of a bottle from supermarket.
