anyone know uf they still make Stroh's? It was made in Detroit. I used to really like it. Can't get here in the south if they still do make it.
I happen to like Michelob Ultra.. But then, I am not a beer snob and I've never cared much for the skunky or dark euro beers. Most of the micro beers are pretty nasty too, IMO.
But to me the king of all bad beers will always be Lucky Lager.. the kind with the riddles on the caps. Now THAT is bad beer.
I just happen to have a Red & Black can of Carling Black Label beer in my hand right as I'm reading this. I am one of those who like its taste.
As for the others on this "bottom 50" list, I've unfortunately had several of them, and without exception, they are truly poor.
By the way, I enjoy Genny Cream on occasion - but it is more a "niche" taste that is worth trying sometime, not a beer to tout as an all around "good beer".
"Does anyone remember Carlin Black Label Beer?"
I drink scotch and one time at an O'Club somewhere in Alabama I asked for a [Johnny Walker] Black Label on the rocks. The barkeep looks at me funny and asks me "Whuat?". I told her, "Black Label on the rocks, please". She goes to the back for a couple of minutes and comes back with a can of beer which she pours over ice in a glass. The beer: Carlin Black Label.
That's how I learned that in the south you don't drink scotch, you drink whiskey.
I always said that anyone who could drink Iron City Beer had to have a cast-iron stomach! Nasty stuff!
Agreed: it seem unfair to include the NA beers given their constraints, though including the "low alcohol" seems perfectly fair.
The label's owned by Pabst but it's conract-brewed by Miller. The hops are gone in the taste.
I loathe Miller Genuine Draft. Icky poo.
They recently upgraded Genny Cream's process. They now put it through the horse three times instead of just two.
I though I was the only human alive who remembered this classic!
The only beer proudly advertised -- like many of the current politicians with whom we are afflicted -- with its head ON the bottom.
They need to expand list since the top 10 slots will be taken up by Bud Light.
Yes, from back in my ramen-eating extreme poverty era.
Not a happy recollection!
Someone posted a few days ago about Miller ruining Leinenkugel. I think they make great beers.
What, they don't make Utica Club in the 64-oz. plastic bottles anymore?
