Who makes shit beer?

[HEyHEY]

Budwieser, molson, coors, corona...

feel free to add.

[LTR]

1. I'd say Coors

But that's really barley-flavored mineral water.

[HEyHEY]

2. cool aid and iced tea

terrible stuff that

[Rick Myers]

3. 85% of ALL companies!

Gimme handcrafted beer...

Got the last 1/2 gallon of an ale called 'Derailment' from our local B&O Station Brewery, Youngstown, Ohio...

[solinvictus]

4. Budweiser and....

Milwuakee's Beast, Hamms, Miller, Coors, hell about any large corporate brewery is going to be cheap crap made with corn and rice to cut corners.

[Wapsie B]

5. Schmidt.

Hands-down winner with me. Stuff is godawful.

[x-g.o.p.er]

6. Anything from "big beer"...i.e. Bud, Miller, etc...

Microbreweries and German beer are the way to go.

Period. End of conversation.

[AlCzervik]

7. Busch Light

is horrible, My friends dad swills that stuff and has for years. when he would go out he'd say.."Girls don't drink all my beers", don't worry Joe, i'd rather drink some $5 a gallon Carlo Rossi wine than Busch light.

[Teddy_Salad]

8. CUB, Carlton and United Breweries, who make Fosters

Fosters is absolute crap.

But CUB does make some nice beer, VB being one of them.

[Philosophy]

13. I kinda like Fosters

If all you care about is getting drunk, and you don't care if you get sick or not, then it's good stuff.

[AntiCoup2K4]

28. Fosters used to be a lot better than it is now

I used to drink it quite a bit in the late 80's - early 90's, when you used to only be able to get it in the 25 oz cans (at least around here).

But the quality has really gone down hill. Must be the distributor.

[RoyGBiv]

32. It's a distribution and production issue...

The current version of Fosters that one buys in North America is made in Canada. The recipe is somewhat different, and the water is of course different, which is a lot of it. I don't know exactly when this started happening, but at some point Fosters stopped being imported from Australia.

Long-time beer drinkers I know have all told me the same thing you just said. Not having had the pre-Canada version, I can't personally say.

Fosters still markets the 25oz "oil cans" in some places. But, what's in those cans is no different than what's in the the other sizes.

[RoyGBiv]

26. "Fosters"

Australian for Budweiser ... :-)

[Nlighten1]

9. Shatz!

[MercutioATC]

10. Black Label and Goebel

[aquaman]

16. Black Label....

was the first beer I stole as a kid out of my dad's fridge. Needless to say I didn't drink beer for years following that. I always said that my dad bought that beer purposely so his kids wouldn't drink it. Horse piss.

[MercutioATC]

17. It was a little over $6 a case when I was in college...

...guess what we drank at the end of the month...

[Philosophy]

11. Old Milwaukee

Now that is pisswater.

[SmileyBoy]

12. Any major label American beer.

Anything related to Bud, Miller or Coors.

[markses]

14. Yuengling

Terrible, terrible stuff. Pennsylvanians, of course, delude themselves into thinking that this noxious swill they sadly label "Lager" (just lager, now) is actually good. It is not. It is terrible. Ugh.

[FizzFuzz]

22. its sooo bitter! ick

our local pub used to have some particularly good beers on tap, which was especially nice since out here in the country, most places only have Blub and others of that ilk. But, sadly, when the owner of that pub made his liberal views and peace activism known, alot of folks in town stopped patronizing his place. So they've had to cut costs. :( I guess Yuengling must be cheap, cuz they have it now.

[sbj405]

46. I absolutely agree

I went to grad school in PA and everyone drinks it up there, which was understandable b/c it's cheap ($1.50 pitchers) and we were poor. But now in DC, it's considered a "microbrew" and priced as such. yuck. people buy it thinking it's better to bring yeungling instead of bud to a party. but yeungling guarantees a hangover (even just one and who could drink more than one). yuck. yuck. yuck.

[IconoclastIlene]

49. Well, I liked that beer when it was $2.00 a case.

That was about the right price.

[IconoclastIlene]

50. Well, I liked that beer when it was $2.00 a case.

That was about the right price.

[SmileyBoy]

15. I love these "bad beer" threads. Keep 'em coming!!!

[LibertyorDeath]

18. HEyHEY have you seen the latest Molson Canadian ads

If you have then you know my answer

[ironflange]

35. You mean "Why don't I drink American beer?"

What an insult to my intelligence, that snotty jerk going on and on. Yeah, go ahead and drink your Canadian, jackass. I'd take a nice American microbrew over that mass-production horse pee any day. For example, I discovered the Deschutes Brewery when I was in Bend, OR last summer. I only have two bottles left!

[LibertyorDeath]

39. Yeah that's the one

microbrews well that's a whole different story Have not tried any American microbrews.

I'm sure they are light years ahead of "mass-production horse pee " LOL

[MGKrebs]

19. I had some bad stuff in New Orleans once..

Voodoo? Cool label, nasty beer.

[Eye and Monkey]

21. Dixie Blackened Voodoo Beer.

In New Orleans, folks know that you don't mess with voodoo unless you're ready for anything.



Next time, try Abita Turbodog. It makes you howl in overdrive.

[AwakeAtLast]

23. I've had that stuff

over 10 years ago, and I still remember it!

[RoyGBiv]

27. They've got cool marketing toys though...

I ran a booze shack (liquor store, which is the only place one can get "real" beer in Oklahoma) for several years, and I loved the marketing things this company put out. I still have a lot of it.

It says something about a beer when the company puts its name on a shot glass. It's not a good something either.

[Eye and Monkey]

33. Well, alot of folks who order Dixie also order a bourbon-back.

They'd order the back even if Dixie tasted better.

[RoyGBiv]

37. Probably so...

Pardon me...I know this will be off-topic, but I can't help myself.

I'm just amused at some of the marketing schemes beer and liquor companies use. They might have some purpose in a place like NO, but in a liquor store in Oklahoma the shot glasses made no sense.

Most gave away glasses or some novelty that fit with the product, like gourmet chocolates with spumante or crystal champagne flutes adorned with hand-painted flowers in a box set of Perrier-Jouet Champagne de Fleur.

But there were odd ones. Windsor Canadian had one where they gave away a hockey puck with each purchase of a 1.75L bottle. In Oklahoma? Ancient Age bourbon gave away a BBQ sauce; this one I guess did make sense, and it was actually pretty good. It was just a bit weird, I thought.

My favorite was one from Gallo wine. Their company reps gave us some inflatable rafts to be given away with purchases of one of their then new flavors of Peter Vella box wines. The signs that went with it had an attractive couple lounging in the pool on their rafts. There was a warning label attached to the rafts that said, "Not to be used as a flotation device."

[Eye and Monkey]

38. For awhile, Jaegermeister gave away glass tubes containing 2 extra -

- extra strength Tylenols.

There was a bar in New Orleans that used to hand out specially-printed stick-on tags at the door. The idea was that you could write your name, address, SS#, blood type, and who to notify - for when you passed out. Now that's a useful give-away.

[EstimatedProphet]

43. Ever have Blatz?

It tastes just like it sounds...
On edit: sorry, attached it to the wrong place

[Eye and Monkey]

51. No, Blatz looks like onomatopoeia from a cartoon depicting flatulence.

Even tho' you didn't mean to ask me, I couldn't resist throwing in my two-cents.

[CO Liberal]

20. Stegmaier

The beer that made Wilkes-Barre PA famous. Sold for 99 cents a six-pack when I was a student....

[AwakeAtLast]

25. Sounds a lot like Schaefer light and Sterling

Neither are made any longer. Raise your glasses in memory of two of the crappiest beers ever made!

[yellowdog]

53. Ah, yes, Sterling.

Ex-Lax in a can.

[Lou_C]

24. Pabsts, Old Milwaukee, Schlitz, Budweiser, Colt 45

:beer: :puke:

[RoyGBiv]

29. As others have said...

Mass produced American beers are almost all crap: Anheuser-Busch, Coors, Miller, etc. If forced, which is often since I live in a state where its sometimes difficult to find decent beers on tap, I can tolerate MGD, but only tolerate, and only out of the tap. I include in this so-called micro-brews that aren't really micro-brews. Certain people like Sam Adams for some ungodly reason. It's also crap, imo.

Cue the Pythons: How is American beer like making love in a canoe? It's fucking close to water.

Worst beer I have ever had was Red, White, and Blue. It tastes like Black Label with a touch of formaldehyde for flavor. A navy buddy bought it for me as a joke. He paid something like $4 for a case of the stuff.

[DieboldMustDie]

30. Narragansett is the worst I've ever had.

Took about 2 sips and poured the rest out. :puke:

[AwakeAtLast]

31. If ya can't say it, probably shouldn't drink it

However, this thread has reminded me of something a distant cousin of mine would drink at reunions. It was called Big Mouth beer and the bottle looked like (I'm not kidding) a pickle jar! Needless to say, I never tried it.

Anybody ever heard of that one?

[mahatmakanejeeves]

36. Big Mouth

Do you mean Mickey's? It was packaged in a wide-mouth bottle.

I remember Red, White, and Blue. PBR isn't bad for a cheap beer. Schlitz is just battery acid. I mean, really, you'll get acid reflux from drinking that stuff.

I have two unopened cans of Billary Beer for what it's worth. No Billy Beer though.

What I miss: Ballantine India Pale Ale. National Premium. They may still be around, but I don't seem them. Henry Weinhard's Red. Can't get it here in the East.

[kiahzero]

45. You weren't the only one

As any RI DUer can tell you, the sign for the brewery now is the sign welcoming people to the town of Narragansett.

[ironflange]

34. Blue, Canadian, Coors Lite, any of those low carb ones

Weasel piss all. Kokanee is OK, though, nice and refreshing without that weasel piss taste. Kokanee Gold, too. Then there's stuff like Sleeman's, Okanagan Spring, Granville Island, Rickard's (proof that someone at Molson knows something about beer), etc. :beer:

[kevinam]

40. It is SCHAFFER'S!!!

Holy cow, it is the worst. It is undrinkable. I dare anyone, anyone to buy a six pack. If you can drink the entire six pack in two hours, I will buy the damn pack. It is awful. It is so bad...How bad is it...when I was in high school, under the drinking age. Someone bought us some beer, and that is what they got. We ended up throwing it out. Even as desperate as we were as kids to get drunk, we just couldn't couldn't do it. Oh, the humanity!!!...Kevin.

[T_i_B]

41. Ridley's

A brewery local to me who produce foul undrinkable bitters that make me feel ill. I'm a member of the Campaign for Real Ale and even their branch liason officer has publicly slated them for producing such bad beers.

http://www.ridleys.co.uk/

Shame really as we have some superb beers being produced in Essex at present.

[jmowreader]

42. OB maekju

The classic Korean beer. Contains one-half percent formaldehyde.

Not even Carl Sykes would drink that.

[EstimatedProphet]

44. Red white & blue

Makes really good paint stripper

[DS1]

47. In the past I've changed my mind about going up to a girl in a bar

just because her Coors Light showed up.

She obviously had shitty taste in life.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

48. coors

[SmileyBoy]

52. Generic yellow can of "Beer" in the 70's.

Archie Bunker used to drink that shit, if I'm not mistaken...

[yellowdog]

54. I have favorite beers like Shiner Bock, Grolsch,

Scape Goat & Moose Drool, but truthfully when it comes to beer I will drink damned near anything with the exception of Pabst Blue Ribbon.
