Hops: now extra grapefruit-y!
Trader Joe’s sells some cheap beer that is utterly vile. One brand is “Simple Times” or something like that. There is one other whose name I can’t remember due to the trauma of having tasted it.
My wife bought it (kind of as a joke), and it got thrown out after a few sips.
I will give kudos to the marketing people at Michelob though. They've managed to convince every woman in the U.S. who struggles to stay thin that Michelob Ultra tastes good. That stuff is horrid, I'd drink Beast Lite any day over Michelob Ultra. They've convinced all the hipsters that it's actually beer.
MB is just Miller Highlife at 1/2 price in a diff can.
Walgreens too!
I miss him too. And he may have had crappy taste in beer, but he could make a mean margarita.
There are plenty of worse beers than those listed.

For bad beer you couldn’t do better than National Bohemian, Gunther, and Old German. I think they were all Baltimore brews.
Yup
Ugh, hate IPAs. Everyone at the tailgate parties loves IPAs, I don’t get it.
You’re only supposed to drink Schafer when you’re having more than one.
What? No BILLY BEER anywhere?
I spent a summer as a cadet on a Liberian-flagged tanker with an Italian crew. Unlike US-flagged vessels, we had a beer served with every evening meal. Being good Americans, we saved up our daily brews for the ritual weekend card game buzz. You guessed it: Carling Black Label, frosty cold. Best beer evah!
Worst beer I ever drank was a bottled COORS back in 1977. BITTER! It was so bad I had to drink three OLYMPIAS to get the taste out of my mouth.
Never touched a Coors again till this year. Now they are better. At my age, maybe my taste buds have changed.
The only way I enjoy beer is in a beer battered onion ring.
That’s why I stick to vodka...
Canned or kegged doesn’t skunk. Proven.
Here’s my list
Ace Beer, came in a gallon glass jug. Purchased at a NC Mom & Pop convenience shack with those (early 70s) 1 dollar self fed gas pumps out in the sticks.
Singha, Bangkok mid 60s, yuck... maybe it’s better than nothing, made from the sparkling waters of the Maenam Chao Phraya.
Sam Magoo, if you dont know the slang, you never had it. 10 centavos a bottle.
I would continue but the cheap/budget American beers sold to slackwater fisherman and Michiganders piney’s are palatable. Never switch brands in the middle of a fest... especially
If you drink Pabst... it is advisable to start and finish the evening with Pabst.
It’s amazing what one remember about beers especially if it has been a decade or so since you drank one. Lost my taste for it.
IPA’s? pfffffft
Well, I had many more than one before I got to the Schaefer. I was definitely drunk, my face was numb, and I’m sure my mouth was dry. That beer still sucked.
Does Brew 102 still exist? Woulda made the list, for sure!!
A scene in Good Morning Vietnam mentions this beer and the formaldehyde.
“Ba mui o ba best beer in Vietnam”
“Ba mui o ba beer ONLY beer in Vietnam”
“Hamms”
Remember the Hamms keg beer in a 12 oz can that looked like a miniature keg?
My cousins beer can collection had 1. I found it up in Northern Michigan. I’ve never seen one since.
