That was going to be my worst as well...But there is a worse Olympia than Olympia...Olympia Light...and there is a worse Olympia Light than Olympia Light....Olympia Light DRY.

Yep, remember the Dry beer phenomenon years ago.

Olympia tried. It tasted like Olympia beer with Thunderbird wine added to it for the "dry" flavor. It was actually heavy and sweet. This one Mom & Pop grocery store in Iowa got a whole bunch of it and sold it for $3.26 a case..so a little over $.15 a beer in 1989 money. We thought we hit a cheap beer goldmine but we were wrong, so very wrong.

Picture a party in college where no one gets drunk because the beer is so bad. Everyone had half a can and left the party and we were stocked up on Olympia Light Dry until the end of the year (I think about 4 1/.2 cases)

Occassionaly we would be poor and want some beer and think..."Hmmm..maybe this wasn't as bad as I thought it was" and then open a can and find out it was worse.

WHen my roomate and I moved out we left the cases on the lawn that said "Free Beer" and they were gone. Probably high school kids that we eneded up saving from the demon rum by the worst beer ever made that was not poisoned with formaldahyde.

either that or pushed them towards hard liquor by convincing them that beer was a horrible, horrible thing.

you tell em you feeling like something important died screaming
you tell em you feeling like something even more important arrived breathing
something you should probably try feeding

Thats one of those you either like or not. I like it, its a quality beer but might not fit everybodys taste.

The worst must be that Belgian beer with peach/cranberry taste or wtf it was (remember a grey bottle with small pink and green elephants!)

If it does count as beer that is...

I like those Belgian lambics with the added fruit. The peach one is my favorite.

As far as American beers go,Sam Adams is a good brew..Yuengling is borderline.As for Coors,Bud,Miller and Busch..well you may as well be drinking water.




Go to Deutchland if you want real beer.This is one of my fav's:

A handsome trio of Korean beers that taste exactly like Water with a piss-sprinkle.

Lightstalker.

If you ever get to the midwest ..I think Indiana is the limit..Try Sprecher of Milwaukee.

Drinking Kriek and Cassis Lambic is like tongue kissing god. So yah, it is gay, but really tasty and worth jumping over to the "other side" for a bit.

I like all the Morte Subite & Bellevue flavoured beers, Kriek is especially good.

My top choices include Pilsner Urquell, Starapraman, Zywiec, Tyski, Hooegaarden and Guiness. Not a big fan of American beers, always get a headache from drinking that pish
