What do you think is the shittiest beer in the world?

Budwiser.

Budweiser...................

Budwiser.
I wholeheartedly agree.

Miller Light, hands down.

Not only a copy (despite biased court rulings), but also made with rice, taking away the heritage that they were supposed to reproducing, I give you...

http://www.koff.fi/stc/images/docs/budweiser.jpg

Budweiser, I agree as well. Corona with a piece of lemon is pretty, good I don't know if you Brits get it there, though. Then again any beer would be better than Budweiser

all of it god damnit.

Though I may be biased, as I dont like any alchohol, and considers beer to be the worst form.

Though my parents inform me that the original Czech Budweiser is quite nice.

I'm glad so many people agree.

Budweiser, I agree as well. Corona with a piece of lemon is pretty, good I don't know if you Brits get it there, though. Then again any beer would be better than Budweiser

Yeah, we get Corona. Tis ok... but give me a bottle of ale any day :D

Fosters.

I may be biased by the fact it cost 2.50 for a foul pint that had me almost puking at midnight in some dead-end town while I was waiting for the train...

On the other hand, it's still a shit beer.

Natural Ice, Natural Light, Keystone Ice, Keystone Light, PBR, or Miluake's Best all share the title of worst beer imaginable. They taste like Satan's piss and are only good for playing beer pong.

Schultenbrau. Absolutely disgusting stuff. Budweiser is heaven compared to that shit.

Budweiser may be crappy, but Busch tastes like shit.

Really.

Fosters.

'tis, but I think i'm slowly coming to the realisation that fourex is worse.

It's a tossup between Miller Light, Budweiser, and Busch Light. With "The Beast" (Milwaukee's Best) getting (dis)honorable mention.

Natural Ice, Natural Light,..., PBR, or Miluake's Best all share the title of worst beer imaginable.
those.

String Cheese.
...
What? It's a pretty bad beer...

Natural Ice and Busch Lite are a tie. *bleah*

I spent a year an Floida when I was in the Navy at 'A' and 'C' School. In Florida, Busch Lite is cheaper than freakin' Pepsi and everyone I knew seemed to be of the opinion that beer brand doesn't matter as long as it's cheap. But when I showed up with a six-pack or 12-pack of a beer that I like, guess how many people I had begging for my beer? :p

I'm going to have to go for Tesco own brand...

http://images.myphotoalbum.com/a/an/ang/angl/anglo/anglophile612/albums/practice/25TescoBeer.sized.jpg

some awful stuff form a small local microbrewery that does good ale part form this one batch

National Brand ---- Sam Adams----Total Swill---I don't know why the family doesn't sue for the use of name and image on such bog water.

Hoegaarden tastes nice, but it's mostly gas.

I'd vote for Red Stripe in this case, or that shitty 'Del-Sol' shit they give you in Mexico unless you ask for the good stuff.

They make like 30 diofferent kinds some is awesome some well not so much ...and nothing in the world is worst than TUSKER from Kenya.

My boyfriend is obsessed with Grolsch, he has a massive shrine and can't stop buying stuff on ebay (seriously, I would have to show you pictures for you to believe it.... it's insane) but I don't really like it. It definitely smells of poo, and tastes really nasty. I generally don't like beer anyway, but I could get through a Kronenbourg easily enough. I don't know what the shittiest beer is... I don't like bitter... so John Smith's and Guinness are my least faves.

Budweiser may be crappy, but Busch tastes like shit.

Really.
Budweiser tastes like piss...

If it still exists then it is Watney's Red Barrel. (I really hope that it doesn't exist any more.)

I just discovered that a second beer was produced with the same name by Sleeman. I mean the original. It was very bad. (http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/watneys-red-barrel/4163/)

They make like 30 diofferent kinds some is awesome some well not so much ...and nothing in the world is worst than TUSKER from Kenya.

Tusker is lousy to drink on it's own but it isn't bad alongside a strong curry.

Bud is by far the rankest beer I've ever tasted. Fosters and, in particular, Carling are pretty shit too, but they're not quite at Bud's level.

Possibly Kronenbourg 1664: Le worst, le shittiest beer en France (and perhaps the world), or Carlsberg. I'm not much of a fan of lager. Give me something from the hand pumps...
(Conversation exerpt:
Dad: What do you have against Carlsberg?
Me: Well, I drank some once...)

Hoegaarden tastes nice, but it's mostly gas.
Too tomatoey for my liking.

Edit: And apparently I'm now "Deadly", so don't mess with my preference in beer.

Budweiser may be crappy, but Busch tastes like shit.

Really.
I.. like Busch. :(

http://www.riotvideo.com/videoimages/661489635557516627.png
*reads small print*

But.. it tells me it's "Good mother fucking beer".. beer never lies!

Budweiser

A beer's quality depends on when and where you're drinking it. I mean, I fucking hate bud (especially bottled), but it's more bearable if you're in a bar than a quiet pub or your house. Then again, lets face it, who chooses to sup bud? On the other hand, I can't imagine drinking a pint of Lancaster Bomber in a club somewhere. If I'm sticking to beer drinks, I'd say Corona Extra with a lime in the top is great for clubs (although I may be biased by the fact a club near me sells it for 80p-£1 most nights ;) ). Heady ales do not mix well with rapid movement, much like fizzy lagers don't mix with my semi-sober tastebuds.

Carlsberg is pretty much the only 'common' lager I like (by common, I mean readily available).

Yes, Budweiser's bad. So's Fosters, XXXX, Grolsch (shtop)...etc, etc.

But.

The Worst.

Is.

...

...

Kaliber. It's beer. But non-alcoholic. What. The. Fuck. What's the point of beer if there's no alcohol in it?

What do you think is the shittiest beer in the world?

dutch gold

... and yet i drink it

Worst I have had: Iron City Beer

Although it is entirely possible that my experience was colored by the fact that the beer had been tumble-dryed for about an hour.

dutch gold

... and yet i drink it
Well, that's being Oirish for ya.

*gets coat*

*removes coat, gets bullet proof vest*

Definately Budwieser. All my friends thing its great but I think it tastes like shit.

I personally like Grain Belt, cheap and good taste but even better after taste. Though I've heard corona is awesome.

Are you/your mates fairly new to drinking? If not, then I'll say this about corona; it almost tastes of nothing. I swear that lime is put there to give it flavour. Apart from its cheapness near me, I drink it in clubs because it slips down like a soft drink and gets me drunk twice as fast as everything else. Even vodka mixes.

American Budweiser.

What do you think is the shittiest beer in the world?

All beer fails. Hail hard liquor.

I'm with you, dude.

Worst beer ever? Well, normally I'd say Miller High Life Light, but I think I finally actually found a worse one...

Oh, I totally agree.

It's nice on a hot day because of that, though.

Castlemaine XXXX. Urgh.

Urquelle.

Something vaguely german marketed by Aldi.
( If you are a European, the Aldi-bit proves everything beyond reasonable doubt. :p)

Thus far, beer is beer to me. There isn't much variety here in Aus. Everything is ok, and Foster's is shit.

1. Miller
2. Budweiser
3. Corona

These beers are basically pre-urine. No flavor, very poor alcohol content, practically water.

BEST beer in my opinion:
1. Samuel Adams
2. Becks
3. Yuengling

2. Becks

Drinking it now. It's not bad, but not the king of all beers.

In the US Bud is genuine Clydesdale piss, not many American beers have much to recommend them, although Yuengling is pretty darn good.

In Italy, by far the worst is Birra Raffo <brr>.

Fosters is Australian for shit. Give me a Coopers everytime.

My favorite three are:

1. Pilsner Urquell

2. Guiness

3. Wurtzburger Oktoberfest

and I know my good friends in the UK will disagree with me, but Bass is just about the best pint I can wrap my lips around. Such a nice bitter.

Though I wouldn't drink Budweiser, there are so many worse beers than that.
Like......

Milwaukee's Best
Pabst Blue Ribbon
Colt 45 Malt Liquor
Mickey's
Stroh's

The Europeans have it all over us in brewing expertise, I'm afraid. The only domestic that even remotely compares in quality is Sam Adams, IMO.

Oh, I totally agree.

It's nice on a hot day because of that, though.
my room was a sauna last night. Corona with lime was the only way I fell asleep

..no, I don't have a problem. *takes swig*

That's MY Corona thank YOU VERY much. :mad:

*rips corona out of sarkashakakans hand*

American Budweiser.

Better than Italian Budweiser or Chinese Budweiser though..

I submit that people generally don't want to actually taste their beer.. I'm not a beer drinker, but it seems to me that a total lack of taste is a surefire recipe for success in the beer market, unless you're some Banacek-esque connoisseur, or something.

Budweiser may be crappy, but Busch tastes like shit.

Really.
How would you know what **it tastes like?

Sad to say it, dear yanks, but you beer is horrible... atleast all the varieties I've had the displeasure of sipping... Among terrible eurobeers though I should mention Björne-Bryg and Pripps Blå... Sadly Pripps Blå is one of the standard beers in pubs here in Sweden... Cheap piss really :mad:

Budweiser is shit.
Best is Corona.

I wholeheartedly agree.

Strongbow isn't beer, but it's the only thing I've had that's worse than Budwiser.

Castlemaine XXXX. Urgh.

Glad you agree. :)

The only reason you wouldn't suggest XXXX is if you

A) Haven't tried it.
or
B) You are from Queensland, Australia.

Strongbow isn't beer, but it's the only thing I've had that's worse than Budwiser.
Alot of ciders are worse than strongbow. I promise.

To the White Lightning!

I have an amusing story regarding a friend of mine getting very very drunk on Castlemaine at £1 a bottle...and smacking his head on a toilet.

What do you think is the shittiest beer in the world?

Apparently Primus, a congolese beer, made from the waters of the great lakes. During the ruwandan genocide they had to add fromaldahyde to cover the taste of rotting flesh becasue the brewing process wasn't rigorous enough to do it itself.

The best Turkish beer is Efes Pilsen,

Taste like piss, real salty and after about the third on you don't care anymore. This is because that it all there is.

Apparently, the (lower class) Zambians drink a beer call Chibuku. It's beer that's sold in paper cartons, makes people sick if it's older than 6 days and tends to separate out (hence why it's called shake-shake). Mmmm....

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chibuku
http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A965036

It's got a social stigma so large that most people refuse to drink it outside their own homes.

I've drunk Chibuku, and Chikasu, though it is probably made very differently in Zimbabwe, and you are right about it needing to be shaked - I'm not sure about the class thing, it origniated from the colonial governments forbidding the consumption of "Clear" beers by black people. Chibuku/Chikasu is made of fermenting maize and sugar

worst beers i've ever had
(no specific order)


--Miller High Life
--Natural Ice
--Steel Reserve
--PBR (when not on tap)


more will come when i think of them....

My vote goes to anything with "Lite" or "Ice" in its name.

On my list of beers I can't stand - Miller, Bud, Coors, Corona, Fosters, Stella, Keystone, Tuborg, Natural, Heineken, PBR, etc.

Oranjeboom. Some beers taste like piss. But Oranjeboom IS piss. Buckler too. If you want alcohol free beer you can just drink a cola.

Worst: Any beer that you can see through - from anywhere.

Though, of American Beers, Pearl holds a special place in my Loo...

Best: Stouts, Porters, Bocks, BarleyWines, Belgian Tripel, etc. You will occasionally get a bad one, but not as often as with Pisswater.

As an Aussie once put it on another forum, "Fosters. Australian for kangaroo piss."

Natural Ice, Natural Light, Keystone Ice, Keystone Light, PBR, or Miluake's Best all share the title of worst beer imaginable. They taste like Satan's piss and are only good for playing beer pong.

I dunno what beer pong is but I agree witht he rest of the post.

Some stupid Scottish lagar. Can't remeber the name (don't really want to either). Or Sleemans, that stuff's pretty bad.

I'm just gonna say this.

Busweiser's not that bad. It gets a bad rep primarily because its the most (or certainly one of the most) well-known, heavily advertised and frequently drunk beers across the world, despite the fact that it's rather... bland.

I'd say it's one of the most overrated beers in the world, but not the worst.

There are only three countries in the world that can brew:

1 Czech Republic
2 Germany
3 Belgium

In that order.

Haven't tried US brews yet (sex in a canoe, from what one hears), but the European Champion for horse wee is Heineken. Sorry, spijt me, no offense, niet kwalijk nemen.

Not tried proper British bitter then?

What do you think is the shittiest beer in the world?


Any beer that isnt made in Germany.

Not tried proper British bitter then?

I have and find it drinkable. Doesn't knock me off my feet, though.
Damn, now I want a Pilsner.

Never had Bud, but the worst I've ever had so far is Canadian, followed closely by Grasshopper.

The best yet has been Guiness.

American "food product" beers.

Also UK cider beers.

Definitely not Hefeweissbier.

I like Strongbow and Woodpecker ciders

Milwaukee’s Best. Drinking one can is like drinking a glass of p---. Drink two cans and you get a horrible headache. Oh, and that’s 3.2% beer. :D

I like Strongbow and Woodpecker ciders


You really dont have much room to speak ill of other beers then, do you.

Does hard cider really count as beer? Honest question.

Does hard cider really count as beer? Honest question.

No, it's not beer, it's fermented apple juice. It's often marketed & packaged as an alternative to beer though.

As an Aussie once put it on another forum, "Fosters. Australian for kangaroo piss."
Haha Fosters.. It's a great beer to take to parties I've found.

Random idiot: "What are you drinking?"
Me: "Fosters mate"
Random idiot: "Huh?"
Me: "You don't know Fosters?! What the fuck? Fuck off"..

All the while with a slight Aussie accent. Good times. But I guess you had to be there.

The shittiest Beer in the world?

Altes.
Geobbels.
Milwaukees Best Light.
Pabst Blue Ribbon.

America has the distinction to have some of the worlds best, and worst beers.

Bud light.

I've had some terrible beers in my time.

(Dons flak jacket, kevlar and mylar oversuit)

3. Any American Beer- All flavourless love in a canoe beers.
2. Voted the worst real ale in Britain at one time- Badger Beer. I think they left the badgers in it after brewing. To be onest, the brewmaster was sacked after this and Badger have a fine reputation.
1. My worst of the worst----- Starpo Pivo brewed in Banja Luka, Serbian Bosnia. It is VILE, made worse by the tinny taste from the can, gives you a screaming hangover after half a can without the benefit of getting you drunk beforehand.

Bud light.

No way dude... that's the 2nd worst. Number One crap honors should go to Budweiser Select.

Victoria Bitter (VB)

No way dude... that's the 2nd worst. Number One crap honors should go to Budweiser Select.


You havent had "Hamms" or "Meister Brau" yet,then?

Natty Boh. Baltimore's Finest.

Alright, for all of you that are knocking American beers, there actually are good ones you know. I readily admit that Budweiser and the like are godawful, but there are plenty of local brewpubs and craft breweries out there that make excellent beers. Some better known examples (at least where I live): Gordon Biersch (http://www.gordonbiersch.com/brewery/beer/index.html), Sierra Nevada (http://www.sierranevada.com/beers/paleale.html), and New Belgium (http://www.newbelgium.com/beers_ft.php). My personal favourite local breweries are Sudwerk (http://www.sudwerk.com/) and Brew It Up (http://www.brewitup.com/index.htm).

American beer? Meh. Never as good as Canadian beers, for some reason though Americans can neverhandle the Canadian beer. I think we have a higher alcohol content up here.

Don't think I've ever had a Canadian beer. Can you recommend a good one?
I'm rather new to the beer drinking scene so I don't know too many. I know you should never drink Canadian (it's not general that is the name of the beer). Most of the stuff from Big Rock breweries are good, I personally don't like Grasshopper (light beer) but I know several people who like it. Traditional is a good darker brew. Then there's Alexander Kieth's (That's a pale ale). Really though I've mostly been drinking Guiness which isn't Canadian (It's brewed in Ireland)

Guiness is brewer under liscence in Toronto Labbats xxx is good Blue is ok


Worst American beer tie Rolling Rock or Genesse !

GUINNESS® is GUINNESS® - wherever you are. We always use pure, fresh water from natural local sources for the GUINNESS® beer brewed outside Ireland. That said, in blind tests (with a bunch of highly cynical journalists) none of our sample could tell the difference between Irish-brewed GUINNESS® and the locally produced variety. All the GUINNESS® sold in the UK, Ireland and North America is brewed in Ireland at the historic St. James’s Gate Brewery in Dublin.


Straight from the Guinness men themselves.

What do you think is the shittiest beer in the world?

Funnily enough I did my doctorate in brewing.

The worst beer in the world is Stein Lager from New Zealand.

The best beer in the world comes fron Czech Republic, Germany, England and Belgium (in no particular order).

Funnily enough I did my doctorate in brewing.
You can do a doctorate in brewing? Wow. Just wow.

The are two major types (karyotypes) of lager yeast in brewing; Carlsbergensis and Tuborg. The latter produces a blander flavour and it has been found that throughout the twentieth century, breweries using Tuborg yeast have slowly started to dominate the brewing industry in the USA.

That said, there is now the growth of British style ales in the USA.

You can do a doctorate in brewing? Wow. Just wow.

Yes, there are two places in the UK; Herritt Watt University and Nottingham University.

Ok, since I tried a few real ales, England may join the club.

Not true. In fact that is exactly why I don't like Grasshopper. It has no taste. I rarely drink, and when I do it isn't to get pissed, so I want something that has a nice flavor to it. (I try to stay away from the coolers because I could end up drinking a bunch of those without realizing it.)

Things must have improved. It is not to my taste, but I find it a very good introductory ale, particuarly for women with a sweet tooth.

Interesting. Well then I guess we've found our expert here.

Why, thank you.

The worst beer I've ever tasted was a home brew that went... wrong, shall we say. Blargh.
