Yeah Tacos, San Miguel. I thought it tasted like shit. Definitely one of the nastier beers to have passed my lips...even at .25 per bottle.

My own piss after a week of binge drinking. It had a shockingly high alcohol content and got me wasted again really quickly, but was far too acidic for my liking. At least it was free (well, sort of).

Olympia really is some nasty beer.

Tastes like the swill that passes for beer in China, with the same formaldehyde content and mad hangovers :P

Wow - I thought the bigass 700mls of Tsing Tao tasted just fine... of course aafter 8 of them (.63cents US each:) ) I wasn't remebering much.


I'm gonna have to pony up with Miller Lite - nasty taste and a nastier hangover.

Didn't we have this thread before.

Cool Colt, really nasty stuff followed by Midnight Dragon, though I drank a lot of the stuff in college (it was 50 cents per 16 oz can) also tried Cobra which is another wino beer, also about 50 cents a can. Also drank a lot of Schlitz, Schaffer, Schmidt’s and the like. We would usually fill the tub with ice and pick up the 10 dollar cases of the above beer on Friday nights; if the stuff was cold it wasn't too bad, couldn’t imagine drinking one warm though.

In a fit of nostalgia a few years ago I bought a six-pack of Schlitz, it still only cost about 3 bucks for the six-pack. Had one and threw the rest in the garage where it will probably rust. One of the worst beers I had was a piels that was on sale because it had turned (skunk) that was a nasty experience.

Why are you guys hating on the Stella? It's not that bad. The Stella Import was always better than the Export, but a bit more of a gamble. My mother once found a pile of cigarrette butts and ash in a bottle of Stella Import. It's been years since I've had it, but I don't remember it being that bad. Didn't they privatize it in the last few years?

the only american beers that are really good are the high end ones like sprecher, leinenkugels, or sam adams. if you're drinking miller or bud you might as well be drinking tiger or ankor.

i don't mind malt liquor so much (with a few exceptions) but those are 'good' for a reason apart from taste.

worst beer i had was some shit stuff i had in korea, OB (oriental brewery, i think it stands for).

I’m mostly joking – I just don’t like imported beer, just regular old Miller or bud is fine for me

Pound for pound (or is it ounce to ounce) the best American beer is Yuengling, pretty good stuff for the cost.
