The 10 Worst Beers In The World

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.

Our bar was called “The Hole in the Wall” - about 3 blocks from the main gate. It was fun at anytime but especially about 6 am when you see all the girls and boys who’d been up all night partying. First stop after knockoff - then a Jeepney ride to my apartment in Subic City where the party really started. I can’t believe we did that every single day :)

Could not finish a can of Arrogant Bastard and neither could those conned into the other 5 cans.

Milwaukee’s Best gets one of my vote.

It may be the best (available beer) on Milwaukee, Mars. On planet Earth it’s pretty bad.

And Genesee Cream Ale. Such a bad tasting beer.

My dad drank Hamms and Shlitz.

Ugh.

Lone Star was good until they got bought out by Strohs.

Then it tasted like Strohs.

I bought a bottle of that years ago when it came out, just because I thought it was funny. When I actually tried it, same experience...my head hurt, it tasted awful, and I dumped it before I was a third of the way through it. Didn’t even keep the empty bottle for laughs.

Worst “beer” I’ve tried in recent years was something called “Maple Bacon Ale”. Imagine having a cheap beer with your Denny’s meal at 3 a.m.....

I drank a can of Billy Beer and lived to tell about it.

In all honesty it wasn't as bad as Buckhorn beer. It was basically Pearl Beer's rejected batches.

“Schaefer is terrible.”

They seem to have been sold a couple of times before it went under. From what I can tell the formula was changed after the Schaefer family sold out. Probably turned skunky then.
For my money Pabst was the one beer that turned my mouth inside out.

Pearl was pretty bad ;)

Is that arrogant bastard from stone brewery? Cause if It is, man i love that beer. My friend and I love drinking stone brewery relaxing on the beach in Coronado. Only girl I know who can handle the alcohol content.

I’ve had Russian beer (obviously in more recent years) and it was as good as any Eastern European beer.

[Some Fat Guy in L.A.]

A guy I knew in college, who grew up in the Altoona, Pa. area, always talked about a local beer called Horseshoe Curve. He said it was a manhood test to be able to drink 1 can and hold it down.

I’ve drunk most of the beers on the list (in my misspent youth). Most were OK, nothing special but not bad. I liked Iron City back in its heyday, so maybe my tastes weren’t as refined as some.....

I like many of the regional beers better now, If I can find them.
