There are two beers which compete for this title in my book: Spaten, and a beer which I can't remember what it's called.
I bought the Spaten at Costco because it was something like $18 bucks for a 24-pack, and I regretted it. It tasted like glass cleaner. My roommates and I were all big beer drinkers, 12-packs rarely lasted longer than a couple hours, but the bottles of foamy glass cleaner sat in the fridge for nearly 2 months.
The other beer is some shit that I got from Beverages & More because the tag on the shelf said that it had the Guiness record for the world's most alcoholic beer. I decided to get a bottle to see what it was like. Ugh, it was vile! The fucking thing tasted like a mixture of soy sauce, Wocerstershire sauce, and steak sauce. It was thick, salty, and bitter (yeah, yeah. That's what she said, I know), and was quite undrinkable. My 3 roommates and I all made an honest effort to drink more than one gulp, but none of us were able to. We ended up flushing most of it down the toilet because nobody could drink it. ukey:
Not as bad as Jack. I once bought a Costco-sized bottle of Jack Daniels, you know, the half gallon size. Well, it turned out that I was the only one present who liked Jack, so the bottle was all mine. By the time I passed out, which was long before the party ended, I had consumed half of the bottle all by myself. The next morning I woke up still drunk. I went to work, got off work, drove back home, and I was still drunk. Sometime around 6 in the afternoon I ceased to be drunk and became hungover. Ugh, that was the worst feeling I have ever had! Every time I burped my mouth, throat, and esophagus burned worse than heartburn. I had a headache which was only bearable if there was no light or sound, because the moment either happened it became agonizing. I kept dry-heaving, and couldn't stomach any food. That day sucked.
That was the last time I drank hard liquor.
The worst, huh ? well, as such, some of these '''ol swills'' are probably long gone from the marketplace but, here we go :
1)''Burgie'',
2)"generic" (yes, there was such a thing) ukey:,
3)warm "Hamms"
4)"Shafer"
5)"Oly" and basically anything that was less than, I don't know . . $3.50 per 6'er at the time.
Yep ! as they say, you get what you pay for. . and when we're talking beer it couldn't be more true !
few exceptions exist, trust me :1orglaugh ukey:
Thanks for the thread bro, you bring back some, well, memories ! :glugglug:
Life's a bitch, you drink bad beer, then you die !
Heineken...
:eek: :ban: How can any self-respecting beer drinker say that he doesn't like Anchor Steam?!? :ban:(being an SF guy i know ill catch flak) anchor steam
Hey GSB that most alcoholic beer you drank sounds like Sam Adams Triple Boch to me, did it come in a fancy dark blue bottle? Triple Boch has the same vile taste of soy, Worcestershire, and steak sauce combined. Also a bottle of the stuff costs about $20 or more. I forget how they brew it, but I am assuming it is the bottom of those beer making kilns they use.
No, the shit I was talking about was Austrian. It came in a brown bottle, and had a silver label. The name was written in an old-style font.
Guiness and Murphys. Those are fucking gross. Tastes like I'm chewing coffee beans with a little bit of water.
I would agree with the Guiness thing, when it is in a can or bottle, it doesn't taste very good, but on Draught from your local pub it taste's great, in my opinion at least, but Miller Geniune Draft is what I would expect Urine to taste like, not that I have ever tasted Urine, but it is foul.
Truer words have yet to be spoken. ukey:For those of you who've not lowered yourselves to the rot that is Steel Reserve (211), I stand by my claim that it is utter filth.
This maybe?

No, it wan't Sam. Sam Adams is about the best American beer there is. Not THE best, but it's up there. No, the shit I was talking about was Austrian. It came in a brown bottle, and had a silver label. The name was written in an old-style font.
