....6 Michelob Ultra Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc. 0.98 558 Pale Lager.....

My wife bought a 12 pack for a party and it was all left over. All the other beer was consumed. I tried to drink one but didn't finish it.

Later I took them to a friend's gathering and they were all still there at the end.

Ever tried "KULMINATOR" Eisbock from Germany??! It has around 9% Alcohol (this is no fake). In Winter they let the barrels freeze so the alcohol is concentrated in the middle. Nothing for sissies. The taste is a disaster, but you do not realize that anymore after drinking the 3rd. bottle.

Back when I used to howl at the moon, we used to drink Milwaukees Best, which we called THE BEAST, and another beer called STONEYS.

I don't know what they made stoneys out of, but I dont think beer had anything to do with it. I think there must have been potatoes involved somewhere in the mix. It was awful, but after several drinks of the beast, it didnt really matter.

Ahh yes, College was a strange time. No wonder it took me seven years to graduate. 8-)

They forgot Genesee Cream Ale.

Ah, memories. When I was in college I would go with friends to a bar that would fill up an opened quart milk container with Genny Cream and sell it for a buck. It was terrible but cheap and after the first one you didn't care about the taste.

"They forgot Genesee Cream Ale.
Possibly the

Worst

Beer

Ever"

Especially when you factor in the after effects Genny Screamers are not for the weak of heart

Egypt's own Stella beer followed by Tirana beer--Stella was all there was and so had to be choked down. Tirana beer (yes-brewed in Albania) was drunk out of curiousity, but could not be finished until consumption of large quantities of other alcoholoic beverages had numbed my taste-buds sufficiently.

The only US beer that was anywhere near that bad was something I had in New York in the 70s called "Hop 'n Gator"; a sort of acrid tasting beery-limey concoction which mixed several separate bad flavors to come up with something truly execrable.

Although as I am in Afghanistan right now and "dry", maybe even a Stella would taste pretty good.

Ain't that the one with the foam on the bottom? I hafta say...I'm from Cleveland and I now live in Pittsburgh. The two foulest tasting brews I've ever had were POC and Iron City.....


Then of course, there's this particular brand of fortified panther p*ss that was a favorite in my old neighborhood in C-Town...usually concealed in a paper bag...

There once was a girl from Anheiser

Who said no man could surprise-her

Pabst took a chance

Found Schlitz in her pants

And now she's not older

Bud-Weisser!

I had a Dutch beer called "THE MAXIMATOR" that sounded similar to this. Sold in single, oil-drum type cans. After about four of them we were having so much fun saying the name of the beer with a Schwarzeneggar/Hans and Franz accent that we'd forgotten it tasted like vomit.
