We generally don’t like to get too negative here. It gives us wrinkles. But when a reliable beer rating site makes a well-informed, style-adjusted list of the worst beers in the world, we’re gonna tune in. Maybe share some of the list. Impartially. Mostly impartially.
Before you call snobbery — OK, it was a poor choice to wear a monocle today — we have to insist we’re not craft beer snobs. (We like complaining about craft beer, too!) Seriously, all beer has its place somewhere in our lives, often at certain fiscally insolvent junctures where an affordable 30-pack is actually a social lifeline. We’re not denying these beers have a place in our hearts, nor trying to suggest that if you don’t buy $15 six-packs of single-hopped Imperial IPA you must hate yourself.
We just like that the beers on this list have a heavy verbal emphasis on greatness, that a lot of the worst beers are self-identified “best,” “premium,” “genuine,” and “ultra.” It reminds us of those moments of urgent personal insecurity. You know the ones, usually preceded by flop sweat or a wardrobe malfunction, and you’re staring into a mirror saying things like “Who’s the champ? You’re the champ!” and “Everything’s gonna be just fine.” Possibly while crying. The desperation psych-up speech. That’s what these beer names are.

After I got married for the second time, I had a bunch of extra beer left over from the reception.
I had to trade 3 Michelob ultra for one miller lite...
drank this at the prom.
Good story.
“There are plenty of worse beers than those listed.”
If Falstaff was still here it would be #1.
The ever famous Export 33.
Hop N’Gator malt liquor?
It’s tough
To argue
Over a Utica Club
“Cause they put
Too much love
Into it
True dat.
I like Milwaukee’s Best also, It is Miller. It is “Old Milwaukee” and PBR that taste like formaldehyde.
And Coors is for wussies who don’t even like the taste of a REAL beer, may as well not even drink beer just drink off tasting water.
Hamms is still made. Owned by MillerCoors of Chicago.
Can’t find any news on Dutch Treat. But their cans seem to be selling for a premium online.
Pabst is the beer of my youth. My Dad worked at the Pabst Brewery and every Friday He’d come home with a Pony Keg of Blue Ribbon. My brother and I would always get glass or two on the weekend.
My father used to drink Knickerbocker. He used to buy these little brown, glass bottles called Little Knicks. He also drank Ruppert. Both were really bitter.
I remember that. Hamm’s Draft, as I recall. I never saw it in Oregon, because it wasn’t pasteurized (same reason Coors wasn’t sold there), but drank quite a bit in Idaho and Nevada. Not bad beer.
Speaking of beer cans, the prettiest one ever was the big Sapporo can.
Well there you go. The peddled that crap to the metro sexuals and lightweights that found real beer too “harsh”. Why even bother? When I was young, under 26, i used to like the original fire brewed Strohs. That tasted good to me. God bless Aunt Marge (she started me on Strohs when I was 14. For the past forty years I’ve preferred porter or stout. Ale’s where its at. Later at night I shift to Wood’s Bros. Navy rum or Bushmill’s depending on my mood. I’ve found what I like and that’s what it’s all about.
Brown Derby. The worse supermarket beer ever but boy was it cheap.
Man , take my uncle Bill out on the golf course and bring some Stroh’s, he’d smile smile smile...
That Black & Tan stuff from Yingling or whatever it’s called is kind of nasty. Like cold coffee with a kick.
Altes had gone out of business but is back as of 2016.

Now owned by Pabst Brewing the Falstaff label is dead and gone.
Black Label is now owned by Molson Coors Brewing and is available in Canada, Europe and just about everywhere except the U.S.
Sterling was sold to Pittsburgh Brewing which filed for bankruptcy in 2005.
Schaefer sold out and finally died but a reformulated Schaefer is available in niche markets.
Most American troops like the Bitters in England and everything else Europeans drink, and probably like them more then American Beers, either way the IPA are not to bad as long as they keep to simple ingredients and don't go beyond that.
