Ne1ver tried a magic hat beer I liked at all
But the worse beer I ever tasted came in a winter sampler box from Sam Adams ( Boston Brewing Co)
Was a raspberry OR cranberry something

I couldnt finish the first and couldnt find anyone to drink the other 2so had to trash them
That was AWFULLLLLLLLL

Recently, arrogant bastard comes to mind.

Years ago I helped, now ex, wifes uncle do some work
Busted ass ALL DAY
He must have said 20 times " when we get done here we'll have a cold beer"
Just before dark he sent his wife to get a 12 pack of beer
She came home with Strohs
I didnt finish the first one
And never tried another
Back then I didnt know you could get beer that bad

Rivertown Lambic was really hard to drink. I'm sure it's a style matter, more than the beer wasn't good. It was just too sour to be enjoyable. I drank it all, but it was a struggle.

While I haven't had a Stroh's since well... I had a pet dinosaur...

I do remember that they tasted surprisingly better slightly warm... Around 60*F...

That's all I can remember 'bout it...

Move along now!

:cool:

I was going to say anything in a green bottle, but I'm sure it was better tasting right from the line.... So it's going to be that lemonade beer from linenguengen or however it is spelled. Second would be any spiced out holiday brew....

That Summer Shandy stuff? Got some of that from a friend this summer and I agree. Something about the lemon or lemonade added to beer just doesn't work for me. Worst of all they're twist off caps so bottles were useless.

Funny thing is, I hate to waste my money, so if I order it, I drink it. There were only two beers I ever couldn't drink, the shandy and a spiced up holiday beer. NOW Ik now I can ask for an exchange, and bartenders are happy to do so.

Another thing is if I'm out with a buddy and he calls shenanigans, it must be drunk. and vise versa for him. We were playing a friendly game of poker a few weeks back and the host had a holiday bottle of Stella. Not a fan of it fresh, but it was from last Christmas, in a green bottle, and skunked...... some V.S.O.P. took that taste out of my mouth...

There were so many bad ones out there that it is hard to choose just one. In no particular order:

Drummond Brothers
Pearl
Sam Adams Cranberry Lambic
Cinci
Sterling
Garza Blanca (the worst Peruvian beer I ever drank)
Billy Beer
Duquesne
Stoney's
Hudepol Gold
Koehler

etc., etc.

The above make BMC look absolutely tasty!

There's some canned amlager that Kroger (I think) carries that was beyond awful... butterscotchy, hot, just bad. Can't remember the name though. There was also that kombucha beer from the beer fest, but I'm not going to pick that since I can't remember the name either. I used to say Sam Adams Cranberry Lambic back in the day, but in recent years I've become big fans of lambics, so I'll bet I wouldn't find that so turrible (tm Charles Barkley) anymore, but I still suspect that Sam's really doesn't know how to make a proper lambic. I think I'll skip the obvious BMC choices. So... hmm... I'm going to say... Magic Hat #9. Pyramid Apricot a close (and similar) second.

Interesting that Leinenkugel's Summer Shandy comes up a few times. I had one last year while traveling because it was the only non-BMC beer on the menu and I thought it was fine. Not great, but not offensive by any means. Different strokes...
