I realize you're going to spend Independence Day happily drinking whatever cold adult beverage you're served, because you're polite and you're an alcoholic. And I trust you'll have a fine old time no matter what you drink. But that doesn't mean America's sh**brews are all the same. The list below breaks down 36 of them, from worst to least-worst.
36. Keystone. This is the worst beer currently sold on American soil. It sits behind chilled glass in a convenience-store fridge like a dumb rebuke to the explosion of American beer variety all around it. In 1978 there were 89 breweries in the U.S.; today there are more than 2,400, and most of the new ones are better than most of the old ones. In 2013 craft beer is no longer the exclusive domain of West Coast weirdos and psychotic woodsmen. These fine days you can score Samuel Adams or Sierra Nevada at the least ambitious of convenience stores and Dogfish Head 90 Minute on the least reliable of trains. And then there is Keystone, which first appeared to the world in 1989, in Chico, Calif., home of the Sierra Nevada Brewing Company. Keystone separates itself from the rest of the crap pack by augmenting the typical stale/sour flavor profile with notes of brown bananas and green armpits. Keystone is worse than Heineken and murder.

On the continent, yes, the Belgian monks rule.
It is the collection of islands a bit to their west, however, that makes the best brews on the planet.
Iron City’s original claim to fame: the pop-top can.
Used to get a quart bottle for $.50.
Normally I disparage marketing types and lawyers. Schlitz is my only lambast for accountants. Some cost cutter messed up a good beer. Count yourself lucky. :)
Haha...We do that from time to time.
Perhaps Pittsburgh has been saved by an accident of chemistry.
I got the worst hangover of my life at the Colgate spring Fling one year. It was from drinking Koo Koo Juice at one of the frats on the row that was spiked with grain alcohol.
I woke up on my friends dining room floor at 11 am the next day and had no idea how I got there. It was a two day hangover, probably real alcohol poisoning.
We used to go across the Peace bridge to Fort Erie, ON and buy Molson Brador and Molson Extra Stock. There was only one other reason to go to Canada back then(they had places where girls took all their clothes off).
Try it some other place. It could be you are smelling and tasting Philly.
Looks like a can of Marvel Mystery Oil.
My favorite cheap beer is Old Milwaukee. 5 bucks a 12 pack in my neighborhood. Anyone remember the Swedish Bikini Team commercials?
The worst beer I ever drank was Falstaff. I bought a six pack for 99 cents once. Once. Nasty nasty nasty.
I remember back in the 70’s the beer sold on base (SJAFB to be exact) had the text “For Military use Only” on the cans.
Battle of the Bulge?
Bottle of the Bulge?
Do you like Russian beer?
No, I like to take my time with it.
Beer, even cheap beer, was much better choice.
LMAO. You're probably right. But I do love their cheese steaks (Pat's, Geno's and Jim's, especially). Wiz wit' onions and a cold beer is a damned good lunch.
