I've had some pretty crappy, cheap-assed beers, but for me, Heineken is the worst, even worse than some of the piss that's passed off as beer here in the US.

What's the worst beer you've ever had?

Fosters

Seriously what is that stuff?

Budweiser.

I once had a bottle of Budweiser.
I nursed it the whole night because I really didn't want it.
Although admittedly, Bud hardly counts as beer...

Coors Light. Why even bother drinking beer if you're going to drink that shit?

Canned Tetleys

What's the worst beer you've ever had?

yeah, Heineke is bad imo. i've tasted some other crappy bears too, especially the low-budget ones sold in supermarkets (Cara pils for instance).
then there are also beers with fruit in them. they can be refreshing but they don't deserve the name beer. They seem to get popular with local groups of young people (they are quite similar to chavs from what i heard about those on these boards) because they find real beer to 'bitter' :rolleyes: .

Carlsberg, without a doubt.

I know they call it "probably the best beer in the world" or something like that, but it's just nasty.

Coors. I'd rather drink piss.

Budweiser.

I refuse to drink Anheuser-Busch products, because my money would help them in their lobbying efforts to keep marijuana illegal. Not that I've smoked it in years, but I still see no problem with it, and I despise their attempts at maintaining the wall at what is and what is not a legal drug. In my opinion, though I love alcohol, I've never heard of a guy, say, beating his wife cuz he got high. A guy on marijuana is more likely to sink into the couch and bury his face in a bag of Doritos.

yeah, Heineke is bad imo.


For some reason, Heineken's the only one that turns my stomach into a trampoline. I'll hurl after just one sip of that shite.

red stripe and bitter in a can

Miller High Life

Still better than Heineken (though not much).

it's the horse-piss extract.;)

it's the horse-piss extract.;)

I've made it a rule not to drink any beer that has horses in its adverts. I look at it as a sign of where that beer comes from.

Miller High Life

Yeah, definitely the worst beer I have ever had, although I admit, I don't drink much beer.


I prefer Whiskey.

Natural Light. I don't care if you're poor or not, there is absolutely no reason for any self-respecting collegiate beer drinker to consume that vile swill.

Still better than Heineken (though not much).

Heineken in the US is deliberately skunked because US consumers have gotten used to the taste. When they first introduced the keg-can, they got complaints from US customers saying the flavor was off--it was still fresh. The green bottles don't keep enough light out to keep the beer fresh during transit. So they started zapping their canned beer for the US market, so US drinkers would have their signature Heineken taste.

I never drink the stuff. Give me an Anchor Steam any time.

Much more of a whiskey fan myself, beer is more of a later development, I prefer darks

I hear that! Now that's a fine beer! :cool:

I prefer whiskey myself, but my gf frowns on my ridiculous consumption of it when I have it around.

Jameson FTW! :D

There are much nicer whiskies around than Jamieson - anything from Scotland, for one. :p
*warps*

Fosters

Seriously what is that stuff?

This thread should have ended here.

Not a big fan of budweiser myself.

Belgium does some good beers.

Cara pils makes me cry. Corona is also very bad, you need to put a piece of lemon in it to keep the flies away :D

Jameson is up there for my Irish (as a whole Jameson low end is high) though I have had a couple of good OLDER BushMills (20 - 40 year olds) but anything that old is usually good

Lately I have liked glendronach scotch
http://www.scoma.de/shop/catalog/images/050303.jpg for a 12 year scotch

Yummy

I find Belgian beers to be quite vomitous.

Is Tiger beer good?

UpwardThrust, you and I definitely need to drink together some time. You've got some excellent taste in booze. :cool:

Lol if you are up in minnesota I got a 15 year old glenfiddich

Schaefers or Olympia. It will get you drunk, if you can keep it down long enough.

actually, trie Duvel, it's made of win and it hasn't got any horse-piss in it :o

"Brains" - they make and drink it in Wales.

I'm reluctant to even call it beer...Beast Ice.

I'm reluctant to even call it beer...Beast Ice.

Ah, Milwaukee's Best Ice! Yeah, that's crap. Any "ice" beer is shite really.

Tesco Value bitter is foul.

But handy for upgrading to Carling (yes I did say that) at Reading or Leeds festivals. *nods*

Busch Light. I would rather drink certain non-alcoholic brews as they taste very slightly more like actual beer than that degenerate swill. I would like to add that any beer brewed with rice and or corn (maize) pretty much sucks.

Tesco Value bitter is foul.

Luckey beer or Beer beer.

Bud is poor, except the real stuff you get in the Czech and Slovak republics

Canned Tetleys
Isn't Tetleys a tea?

budweiser, closely followed by fosters.

Is Tiger beer good?

it's not pish, but seems to be generally over-priced as it's pretty non-desript imo.

But, from what I've heard, the girls that push it in Singapore are freakin' hot. I'd drink a non-descript beer for that reason, provided they were the ones serving it to me. :cool:

heh, one of my friends worked as a publicity girl for jagermeister wearing orange cropped corset and tiny skirt. sales shot up and yet most people say it's foul! it's certainly an effective marketing technique.

*warps*

Heineken is bad, Budweiser is also very bad, but I think for sheer terribleness you really have to get yourself a pint of Carling.
I don't know whether anybody's made a remark about the Brits drinking warm beer (we're not the only ones, anybody who has decent beer does it but it's a cliché), I'm about to read the thread, but for anybody who has such thoughts: the reason you guys drink your beer so cold is that if you warmed it up you'd notice that it tasted like piss. Good beer doesn't have to be ice cold to be enjoyed.

Isn't Tetleys a tea?

And a bitter. It's OK. No match for proper bitter, but if you're in a faux pub then it might be the only actual beer they sell before you fall-back to Guinness (Which is Stout, not proper beer ;) ).

Worst I've ever tried is Beck's. I couldn't even drink it when it was free.
Second place goes to Kronenburk 1664: Le worst, le shittiest beer en France.
If you count "lager" as beer, anyway.

American beer and sex in a canoe, both fucking close to water.


I loathe beer of all kinds, atleast that I've had the misfortune of tasting. Prefer whiskey like some others in this thread. If you're going to drink booze why drink something that looks and tastes like someone else has drank it before you?

All alcohol tastes bad at first, that's why pretentious tossers spend ages acquiring the taste so they can call themselves connoisseurs.

Is Tiger beer good?
Do you mean the lager or Everard's Tiger? The former is ok, the latter is awesome, especially when you're drinking a new delivery of it from an Everard's-owned pub not two miles from the brewery. Oh yes.

Bad beers - Fosters, Four X...almost anything Australian, really. I just found on Wikipedia that there's a beer in Australia called Piss Beer. And the 'light' version - Piss Weak. :D

And Budweiser. "We believe fresh beer tastes better". So we bottle ours. :rolleyes:

shit, yeah, i forgot carling, that stuff is worse than fosters definitely. it might even challenge budweiser for the title of worstbeer imo.

Aussie beer is decent, the stuff they keep in Aus, and don't export to the rest of the world. Tooheys Extra Dry, Swan Draught, Little Creatures Pale Ale etc, all amazing.
The problem with so-called foreign beers is that they are all brewed in "local" breweries to whatever market they are aimed at and therefore lose all the taste and distinction that makes them decent in the first place!

But for a lager that is never bad, hot, cold fizzy or flat, you cannot beat Tennents Lager! :cool:

meh, the only good thing about tennents is that it's significantly better than it's english equivalent (carling). for a cheap pish lager it is drinkable.

Was about to go with our local Molson EX when I remembered the Bulls-eye. A 1.18L bottle of 7% horse piss invented specifically to get 16-18 years old drunk.

I'm not a big beer fan and find most of them to be "piss." There are, however, two that I actually like, although they don't really qualify as beers, but rather as ales. One is Guinness the other is Blue Moon Belgian Pale Wheat Ale.

Skol. As expensive as anything good, and it tastes, as the French would say, "horrible". Blech, horrible, argh.

Ah, like our own dear White Lightning cider (except that's designed for people <16 years. And tramps).

Completely not true. There are any number of wines that are quite nice in their own regard, to say nothing of the whiskey that I prefer. Nice smooth, good flavor.

You expect me to remember all the beers I've tried?

Keystone. It's a party beer. You drink it up after the jungle juice has numbed your taste buds.

Worst I've ever tried is Beck's. I couldn't even drink it when it was free.
Second place goes to Kronenburk 1664: Le worst, le shittiest beer en France.
If you count "lager" as beer, anyway.
You should try Becks Vier - it's basically the proper German stuff (it's a similar relationship to that between Budweiser and Budvar, I believe).

And Kronenburg Blanc is pretty good. 1664 and Cru are, as you say, le shite.

Keystone. It's a party beer. You drink it up after the jungle juice has numbed your taste buds.

I'm going to agree.

Keystone is the worst.

PBR is flat out the worst beer I have ever tasted (and I've had a lot of cheap beer). Basically, I'll drink anything that's not PBR.

Busch Lite. My navy buddies used to get it all the time in Florida where it's cheaper than coca cola. Oh, god, I hated that rat's drool. I used to bring a six or twelve-pack of something GOOD and have to fight them off. :p

Grolsch. I mean, come on...the name itself is onomatopoeia for vomiting

Natty Lite. I think it is actually called Natural Lite. Fucking water with fart flavor.

Bud Lite or Coors Lite.

I find Belgian beers to be quite vomitous.
This makes me sad. :(

Natty Lite. I think it is actually called Natural Lite. Fucking water with fart flavor.
Forgot about this one. I'll add that to my list.

Coors. I'd rather drink piss.

Ummm, you are drinking piss if your drinking Coors. Amstel and Heineken are crappy beers. To much skunk and not enough good taste. There are a whole ton of real American beers out there. They just don't say Coors, Miller or Budweiser on the label.

I can't stand Kronenburg. It's just not for me!

Cobra's nice though it tasted better when I had it in India.

No, just the ones that made you stop drinking them.

Grolsch. I mean, come on...the name itself is onomatopoeia for vomiting

I forced myself to drink a case of that crap when I was brewing my own beer, just so I could reuse the bottles. It's right up there with Heineken for worst beer IMO.

This makes me sad. :(

Sorry, dear. :(

This reminds me, it's almost time to head back downtown with all my empty bottles and make a new batch. :)

Sorry, dear. :(
To each his own.

To each his own.

At least we agree on the Sammy Smith's Oatmeal Stout. ;)

Dutch Gold. I'd actually rather drink my own piss.

Dutch Gold. I'd actually rather drink my own piss.

Don't you do that on a regular basis anyway? :p

i thought of another: worthington's creamflow is the worst bitter i've ever had. tastes rancid and the creamflo is a stupid gimmick. it's like drinking pureed snot.

All alcohol tastes bad at first, that's why pretentious tossers spend ages acquiring the taste so they can call themselves connoisseurs.

Not necessarily, most "girlie" drinks taste pretty good to begin with. Also, Alexander Keith's India Pale Ale is a top quality beer.
http://www.keiths.ca/
The worst beer I've had is either Coors Light or Tuborg. I found both were quite disgusting last time I tasted them. Although, if we can count Strongbow as a beer, it gets my vote for most repulsive. The taste isn't too horrible, but it smells like someone puked in the glass.

Molson Canadian. It tastes no worse than any other consumer beer, if you get a good one. But the odds of getting a green one are such that you should consider a flat only 23 beer (and not a fucking apartment *evil eyes all the British posters*).

They do redeem themselves with their Cold Shots.

I dislike Labatt Blue and hate Coors Light...

I drink Keiths as much as possible, as well as Guiness, Harp, and other beers that support Rugby Canada... im weird that way. Except Steamwhistle... absolutely hate steamwhistle.

The only time I'll drink Molson Canadian is when I buy the 950ml King Cans for $5.00 (and thats including tax. You want three cans, bring $15 bucks... great for university students!)

For some reason, Heineken's the only one that turns my stomach into a trampoline. I'll hurl after just one sip of that shite.
That's cause it ain't beer.
Isn't it made some weird, non-beer, way with other, non-beer, ingredients?

mass-produced NZ beer is also shite. Lion Red, Tui's, DB - all utter shite.
Monteiths and Macs, though <---:p

I'm saying Stella. Fucking horrible.

i thought of another: worthington's creamflow is the worst bitter i've ever had. tastes rancid and the creamflo is a stupid gimmick. it's like drinking pureed snot.

Nitro Keg my friend Nitro keg, removing all the taste from beer since the early 90's.

As a member of CAMRA I would say that the most terrible beers are those which are mass produced and neither taste good nor bad, but just you know bland and just yellow coloured alcohol.

so those would be:
Fosters
Carling
Stella (english version)
Kronemberg

Bitters:
John Smiths
Stones
and a few others that I cannot remember the name of.

I've had some pretty crappy, cheap-assed beers, but for me, Heineken is the worst, even worse than some of the piss that's passed off as beer here in the US.

What's the worst beer you've ever had?

Have you ever had Miller beer. God, that crap is horrible.

There are much nicer whiskies around than Jamieson - anything from Scotland, for one. :p
*warps*

Jamieson is OK, Tillyore Dew is much better.

yeah, Heineke is bad imo. i've tasted some other crappy bears too, especially the low-budget ones sold in supermarkets (Cara pils for instance).

Hey Isidoor, I note your location is Belgium, you don't get bad beer in Belgium, where did you get the Heineke?.........more to the point, you get some stuff brewed in the U.K. that is not available in most of Britain....Gordens Scotch Ale. Love it.

The only thing worse than Fosters is Fourex (XXXX). Fucking pig swill.

Lol if you are up in minnesota I got a 15 year old glenfiddich

Ha, I have one of those, and a 12 year old bottle of Dimple.

Jamieson is OK, Tillyore Dew is much better.

Jameson and Tullamore Dew, you mean? :P

And yeah, I have bottles of both of those in my room too. Mmmwhisk(e)y.

Are Coors & Tuborg not lagers ?
...and no, we cannot count Strongbow as beer either, it's Cider.
i thought of another: worthington's creamflow is the worst bitter i've ever had. tastes rancid and the creamflo is a stupid gimmick. it's like drinking pureed snot.
Hah!

You guys grew up with this stuff and as long as you accept it they will serve it to you as it's easy for them.

Beer
Cider
Lager
Different drinks and ingredients (lager is still considered a girls drink imo)
Then, the process and bottleing.
Bottle fermented is ok
Insist on draught or bottled in that order.
If they offer keg, puke on the carpet and leave.
The creamflow stuff makes more mess of the carpet than puke.

Ah, take a trip to Belgium, book into an hotel in one of the squares, drink yourself an education in fine beers. Remember to check the ingredients before you decide it's a beer or a larger, there are true 'lager beers' out there but many are just lagers cashing in on the real thing (beer) :D

Jameson and Tullamore Dew, you mean? :P

And yeah, I have bottles of both of those in my room too. Mmmwhisk(e)y.

Boy I screwed those spellins up rael bad. :D Yes, that is what I meant.

Boy I screwed those spellins up rael bad. :D Yes, that is what I meant.

:p

For the record, yeah, Tullamore Dew is better, but only marginally.

Coors Light. It doesn't look like beer, it doesn't taste like beer, and sure as fuck doesn't pack a buzz like beer, either.

Molson Canadian. It tastes no worse than any other consumer beer, if you get a good one. But the odds of getting a green one are such that you should consider a flat only 23 beer (and not a fucking apartment *evil eyes all the British posters*).

They do redeem themselves with their Cold Shots.

Umm, anyone translate that into English for me (or even American English)

Anyone here tried the non-alcoholic version of becks?
It brings a whole new meaning to the word horrible, it doesnt get you drunk, and you still end up with what feels an awful lot like a hangover the next morning.

...and you still end up with what feels an awful lot like a hangover the next morning.

It's probably just regret. :p

XXXX is the worst, followed by Fosters & those big brand US beers (Bud, Miller, Coors, etc).

Budweiser.

The US one, not the rather nice Budweiser Budvar Czech pilsner.

:D

It must be true! :D

Keystone. It's a party beer. You drink it up after the jungle juice has numbed your taste buds.

Indeed...although Keystone Light is far worse.

Though it IS cheap...it's college beer. :p

In an effort to bring some erudition to the discussion:

http://www.ratebeer.com/Ratings/TheWorstBeers.asp

That list is made of fail...Keystone Light isn't on it.

Have you ever had Miller beer. God, that crap is horrible.

Indeed.

My choice for WORST beer is Miller High Life Light. Got really wasted on decent stuff first...and STILL couldn't finish one can.

Simply terrible. :mad:

Coors Light. It doesn't look like beer, it doesn't taste like beer, and sure as fuck doesn't pack a buzz like beer, either.

I still wouldn't rate Coor Light as the 'worst' beer. At backyard barbecue's it functions well as an alcoholic, yet not debilitating beverage. So it does serve some sort of purpose. Lame beverage that it is.

However, there are some nasty alcoholic beverages out there. I'm not a fan of the stronger brews, I'll have to admit.

I've had some pretty crappy, cheap-assed beers, but for me, Heineken is the worst, even worse than some of the piss that's passed off as beer here in the US.

What's the worst beer you've ever had?

Top five worst I've ever had, in desending order:

5) Coors Light
4) Pearl Light
3) Budweiser
2) Milwaukee's Be(a)st
1) Suntory Magnum Dry

I've had some pretty crappy, cheap-assed beers, but for me, Heineken is the worst, even worse than some of the piss that's passed off as beer here in the US.

What's the worst beer you've ever had?


Milwaukee's Best. Absolutely wretched stuff. Like drinking bong water. Sincerely. Only without the buzz.

Why are most American beers made low quality, while it seems in other countries they make it.. um.. good?

I guess what I'm asking is; Why do their American breweries make their beer like Hershey makes their chocolate?

Keystone Light, Point, the time my friend pissed in Tequila and poured in mountain dew and called it beer, Milwaukee's Best,

Why are most American beers made low quality, while it seems in other countries they make it.. um.. good?

I guess what I'm asking is; Why do their American breweries make their beer like Hershey makes their chocolate?

Don't drink beer made by major breweries. Check out the microbreweries, for the most part, they make excellent beer.

Lone Star Beer....it truly tastes like shit.

Budweiser, the beer and their ADs

Don't drink beer made by major breweries. Check out the microbreweries, for the most part, they make excellent beer.

I already do! :)

XXXX is the worst, followed by Fosters & those big brand US beers (Bud, Miller, Coors, etc).

I'd disagree with you there. XXXX can be used quite well as a curry killer so it doesn't take the top place (though on its own it is not nice, not nice at all).

My top worst beer would be VB (Victoria Bitter). It seems to be drunk only because it is cheap and Victorian. That being said; Fosters is pretty horrible as well.

What is it about Victoria and bad beer?

As a rule I try to drink as little big brand U.S.A beers as possible. The German stuff is much nicer. What are the Eastern Europe ones like?

all malt liquors except Colt 45 .. it is drinkable if its cold. As for regular beer. Well I've got some I try to not drink at all BuSH, BuD, milwakees best .. they leave me with extreme hangovers .. especially BuSH.. i dont know what the hell is in that beer. but im'e drank 2after drinking my normal beer all night.. and i felt like shit the next day. and that doesnt happen to me on my normal beer. but really i can or will lol drink pretty much any beer .. especially after ive got a buzz and dont have anything else to drink. my favorite beer buzz so far is Guiness. It seems slow and easy. Not sure if i drank it slow and easy or if it was the beer itself.. havent drank it enough to know. next beer i want to try is grolsh. but if its anything like heinekien or private stock.. not gonna happen. i cant stand a harsh beer.. i like a smooth beer. im about lit right now.. been up all night.. and i feel fine. but i been mixing my beeers.. i might feel it after i wake up.. but I'll get over it. i cant stand liquor.

Aussie beer is decent, the stuff they keep in Aus, and don't export to the rest of the world.

The Fosters Bitter isn't terrible.

Ah, like our own dear White Lightning cider (except that's designed for people <16 years. And tramps).

For anyone who wants to get girl-drink drunk.

Given all the beers you've tried, amigo, I don't expect you to remember anything. ;)

Keystone. It's a party beer. You drink it up after the jungle juice has numbed your taste buds.

Keystone -- It tastes like bottled piss in a can.

(Bonus points to anyone who remembers the ad campaign I'm referencing there.)

Have you ever had Miller beer. God, that crap is horrible.

Of the major US beers, the ones produced by Miller are really the only ones I can tolerate.

Milwaukee's Best. Absolutely wretched stuff. Like drinking bong water. Sincerely. Only without the buzz.

The Beast is a Miller product. My above statement stands. I'd rather drink the Beast than, say, Budweiser or Michelob. Now those are wretched. And I don't know where you get the "without the buzz" stuff. Many of my slobbery posts here on NSG have been Beast inspired. :p

Most mass-produced US beers

Watney's Red Barrel

I'd like to point out something quickly, folks: malt liquor is not beer.

Too many people drink it as though it were.

Too many people drink it as though it were.

I did, when I was at uni and strapped for cash. More bang for your buck. ;)

Keystone Light...it's fucking flavored water. No kick to it.

Coors Lite hands down is the crappiest of all. nearly made me puke on my first try, and i didnt drink anything prior!!

Alpine, Export, Red Stripe, and Moosehead are all in the top as well

Why do so many of you heathens confuse Lager with Beer.

It is very difficult to find a bad Beer and it's very difficult to find a good Lager.

http://www.camra.org.uk/


Stop calling lager, beer.

I'm a minor so I don't drink.

Now that my mom should have seen that and closed the window assuming she did find NS somehow, figured out who I am on here and found this particularly topic I can move on.

In my limited experience in drinking (since I was 17, so lighly for only three years now, not like every weekend though or anything.) I have found that of the major-US beer producers, the only one I can claim to like is Coors, Miller I can stand but don't like and Bud is something I drink so I can brace myself for having to drink my own urine should I be stranded in the desert, I even warm it up to make it just like the real thing. However I have tasted what seems to be the European version of Bud, it's a (supposedly) Belgian beer called Blue Moon, I thought it tasted just like bud so I just set it down and started sipping from my Mojito once more. What? It's not a gay drink! (every post needs a family guy quote.)

Budweiser, followed by Fosters, and Coors comes a close third.

Lager is beer. Hence why it should properly be called 'lager beer'.

And you're talking out of your arse if you think it's difficult to find a good lager. Just go to the Czech Republic.

And you're talking out of your arse if you think it's difficult to find a good lager. Just go to the Czech Republic.

PMSL, beer is thousands of years old, lager is recent, Bavarian I believe, for people that like gas. Pilsner probably the better variety. And you're right, it's "Lager Beer" from bottom feeding yeast not Beer, there is a difference.

Czech beer, pfff, Belgium and Hungary is where the good lagers are. I didn't say they're not there. Out of all the lagers, there's only a few good ones. Out of all the beers, there's only a few bad ones.

See, it's those two bolded bits that makes me think you don't know what you're on about. You know where the term 'Pilsener' comes from? Pilsen, or Plzeň, which is in the Czech Republic.

And there are plenty of bad beers. Just as there are plenty of bad ciders (me being a cider fan).

Perhaps Ruffy was right (see the linked post in your sig). Maybe you are a girl. :p

I hate Labatt Blue. And Big Bear. Ugh.

Perhaps Ruffy was right (see the linked post in your sig). Maybe you are a girl. :p
PROPER cider. None of this apple flavoured alcohol shit that costs a pound for 3 litres.

Weston's, Thatcher's, etc.

Tell you what - you come over to the UK and I'll show you what I mean by proper cider. You're buying.

Perhaps Ruffy was right (see the linked post in your sig). Maybe you are a girl. :p

No, I'm sorry, you're wrong on two counts. Ruffy can never be right, ever. Not unless you want the apocalypse to happen....;)

Secondly, I'm a bloke, and happen to think most cider is piss. Calvados is nice, but thats as far as Apple based alcohol goes for me. I prefer Hobgoblin, Old Speckled Hen, Murphys and Guinness.

It's a trick question, there is no worst beer!

Beer is always good!

But of course!

The two worst beers I have ever had the displeasure of sampling are

Dixie and Olympia

I've had those, and yeah, they're pretty rancid.

Well, I agree with your first post that Heiniken tastes bad. It tastes like acrid horse piss (don't ask me how I know).

Don't you do that on a regular basis anyway? :p

Not from a can.

Not from a can.

You should try mass producing it and canning it. Could be a big seller. :D

Heineken is the worst

Nooo... I cannot think Heineken as one of the worst beers around.

I hereby name as some of the worst beers of the world:
Peroni (Italy), expecially the Peroni Nastro Azzurro
Bud (USA) (not the REAL Budweiser from Ceske Budejovice)
Biere du Demon (France) (it's ethanol, nothing more)
and pasteurised Guinness (tastes like burnt tires)

I hereby name as some of the worst beers of the world:
Peroni (Italy), expecially the Peroni Nastro Azzurro

Yeah, Italians shouldn't make beer. They should really just stick to wine.

See, it's those two bolded bits that makes me think you don't know what you're on about. You know where the term 'Pilsener' comes from? Pilsen, or Plzeň, which is in the Czech Republic.

I've been brewing beers, distilling and visiting British breweries and distilleries for 22 years, including my family historic Rum distillery in Grenada, so I guess I have no idea whatsoever.

Lager beer is not beer or ale. Beer has been made for what people think is around 8,000 years, I think it's less.

And you are almost correct, lager is most certainly Bavarian from the late 1700's. The water is hard in Munich which produces a dark lager. Nearly all modern lagers stem from a 29-year-old Bavarian brewer named Josef Groll who created the lagering recipe for Pilsner using a different malt with the local water from the town of Plzeň in the 1840's, the water in Plzeň is much softer than Munich water.

The Pils' lagers use a softer water so is not unique to Plzeň, you can find similar lagers anywhere in the world that use the Bavarian recipe and soft water. This is another reason why real Guiness can only be made in Ireland.

So Czech Pils is not so special, better than most lagers tho.

Tsingtao, and it's not even close.

Well, while searching for a soda from me mum's fridge, I happened upon a rare gem, if you will.

You see, her boyfriend had generic beer. That is right, generic beer. And on the side of the can all it said was "Beer", along with the other information. That was the name of the beer. Beer.

It was likely skunked from brewery itself. It tasted like canned horsepiss.

It puzzles me as to how you know what horse piss tastes like AND that you can actually get it in cans these days!!!

Mind you, I've been told that if you find yourself stuck in a remote place and you happen to come across elephant dung, you can squeeze the juice from it and drink it for that not so tastey life saving thirst quencher, :eek:

Budweiser. It's fucking piss water. Nasty shit. I have a hard time believing any drink could possibly taste worse.

Tecate is pretty bad too. I think of it as the Mexican budweiser. It is better though, than bud.

Beer that just says "beer" on it? You should have taken a picture! That must have been just like "whaa?"

Yeah, Italians shouldn't make beer. They should really just stick to wine.

Actually, I give you this one: the Menabrea , http://www.birramenabrea.it .
This might change your idea. There are fine beers in Italy. And sucky ones, too. And the suckiest is the Peroni.

Some of the prizes scooped by Menabrea at the Chicago World Beer Championship:
Menabrea "150° Anniversario Bionda": 1997, 1998, 2000 gold medal and 2004, 2005, 2006 silver medal.
Menabrea "150° Anniversario Ambrata": 2002 gold medal and 2001, 2004, 2005, 2006 silver medal.
Menabrea "150° Anniversario Strong": 2005, 2006 gold medal.

Italian beer YAY!:cool:

That's fantastic! You definitely should've taken a picture of it!

Oh gawd. I'd forgotten about Tecate. I had that once when I was at uni. That stuff is truly awful.

I don't place any credence whatsoever in those awards handed out at the various beer festivals. I was at the store yesterday, looking for a new beer to try and came across one my fraternity used to buy for our parties cuz it was cheap as hell (even now it only costs a little over $3 for a sixpack, and my uni days were well over a decade ago): Koch's Golden Anniversary. The stuff tastes -- actually, it doesn't taste. It assaults. Your tongue hates you, and your throat constricts in an attempt to prevent it from entering your system. And that's not even getting into what your stomach thinks of it.

Yet there it is, right on the can: Winner of [Whateverthehell] Beer Festival!

Those festival "awards" are meaningless.

I've been brewing beers, distilling and visiting British breweries and distilleries for 22 years, including my family historic Rum distillery in Grenada, so I guess I have no idea whatsoever.
And of course I'd know this from the posts you've made on this forum? Right...

Incidentally, I was once awarded a certificate for bravery for rescuing a family from their burning house. Of course, that's bollocks. Just because you make the claim, doesn't mean it's true. Though I do actually believe you, for what it's worth.

Lager beer is not beer or ale. Beer has been made for what people think is around 8,000 years, I think it's less.
No. Lager beer is beer. It's just a different type of beer.

And you are almost correct, lager is most certainly Bavarian from the late 1700's. The water is hard in Munich which produces a dark lager. Nearly all modern lagers stem from a 29-year-old Bavarian brewer named Josef Groll who created the lagering recipe for Pilsner using a different malt with the local water from the town of Plzeň in the 1840's, the water in Plzeň is much softer than Munich water.

The Pils' lagers use a softer water so is not unique to Plzeň, you can find similar lagers anywhere in the world that use the Bavarian recipe and soft water. This is another reason why real Guiness can only be made in Ireland.
If you have the money and resources you can chemically recreate any type of water you want, and many brewing companies do just that.

So Czech Pils is not so special, better than most lagers tho.
Says he who previously said "Czech beer, pfff".

The fact remains, though, that not all lagers taste crap. Which, I believe, was your original claim.

Something called "Bud Ice".

I don't like beer, I find it bitter and the after taste kind of shrivels my mouth. I wonder if anyone who knows their stuff could recommend a good one for a beer-o-phobe to try?

You could try Budvar Dark. It's quite malty and has an ever-so-slightly sweet taste to it. Not exactly widely available in this country, though. I only know of one pub and one off licence in my area that sells it. Although, let's be fair, that's enough. :)

Try a cream stout, or try one of those flavoured ales. I like blueberry ale myself, but then, I'm a freak for bloody blueberries.

I will look out for one of those! I have seen strawberry beer

Bleh. Strawberry beer? Yuk. Cherry beer is where it's at.

Get yourself some of this (http://www.svetpiva.cz/images/articles/BELLE-VUE%20KRIEK-500x375%5B1%5D.JPG) or this. (http://www.andjclub.it/flashki/foto/1159641160_kriek.jpg)

I didn't quote the post, but I can honestly agree that Peroni is utter crap.

I still call it "The beer of the Red Brigades, brewed by terrorists who hate your taste buds."

I've had some shit beer, but 1664 (http://www.k1664.co.uk/index_flash.htm) is probably the worst. That or Milwaukee's Best. If that really is Milwaukee's best then it should be burned to the ground.

I've found I dont like any of the "Ice" beers.

However,I do prefer any of my beers be cooled in a tub of ice.

Somehow,it tastes better than out of the fridge.

Chicken?

As usual, the Japanese have already thought of that (http://static.flickr.com/27/40679106_2975e9c05e_m.jpg). :p

Bud is poor, except the real stuff you get in the Czech and Slovak republics

You can get the real Budweiser (that from Budwar/Ceske Budejovice CZ) in the US too, it is just sold with another name...

Worst beer i ever drunk was a Bud Light (US) beats italian beers (and i always despised those) by far.
But i now live near Pilzen so... No more bad beer for me :)

Bud Light is absolutely repulsive.

All these people talking about budweiser or fosters or whatever really don't know what they're talking about. Wait until you go to college parties.

I'm in a fraternity, Sigma Chi, and we throw enormous parties at least once a week. Do you know what beer we serve to everyone else, since we pay for it all ourselves and ask for nothing from the masses? Either American Light, Classic Light, or Natty Light.

That piss makes Coor's light taste good, for Christ's sake.

Keystone Light.

8$ for 20...*blech!*

All beer is disgusting.

anyone who says heineken is the worst has NOT been to the netherlands..

I admit heineken bier is like making love in a boat..

but Oranjeboom is definately the worst.. drink it and get a headache... that's like DÔH

also I somehwat agree with the guys that say smoking is less destructive, and beer being the least elevated of spirits...

beer vs brandy

Roseanne vs Lara Croft

I rest my case

All beer is disgusting.

Then why bother posting?
