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.

Easy one for me. I hate all beer. Looks and smells and tastes like pee.
Also hate pizza, chocolate, and football.
They’re revoking my citizenship.
Welp yer a lost soul...
Not a bad beer most Latin American nations have a good brew or two
Colombia has several ...
Often German expats...
F... That S...!
“Alex! You better be drinking your water!”
I drank 20 Beasts in one sitting once.
Yessir lots of Germans there, they make good cheeses too.
Other than a craft brewery in Campos de Jordao, my go to beer when I lived in Sampa was Bohemia, especially their Amber. I never got the appeal of Skol served “chope” where the foam took up 2/3 of the glass but then again never got the appeal of farofa either.
I told the waitress to “put this back in the horse”.

Thanks for the insight, but I’ll still pass! :)
It took a while, but I did manage to end the ‘licking dirty ashtrays’ habit. ;)
We were young then. Lol
Bohemia is my favorite Mexican beer.
“Ice Cold quarts of LoneStar, 1966. It was good then”.
I drank some Lone star in 1966-1968 in Mexico and it was good. As I remember, Lone Star produced a Mexican beer but I can’t remember the name.
In Southcentral PA, Natty Bo used to be one of the cheapest brews available. Natty Bo must be served under 35 degrees F. This is the only way it can be consumed in quantity, unless of course… it is free.
Worst beer I have ever tried, bar none. Could have gotten an entire case of Lucky Lager for the price of one bottle...
I lived in Germany for years. Unfortunately, it spoiled me. The vast majority of American mass produced beers are horse pi$$. A number of IPSs are good. Sam Adams is good. If you want something that is as close to a German lager that you can get made in America, go for a Yuengling. It’s a German beer essentially.
And Yuengling is a conservative by the way.
Yuengling is woke.
First I have heard of it. The CEO is a Trump supporter.
Can’t believe Coors did not make the list.
