The Worst Beer I've Ever Tasted

[bum]

Don't get me wrong. It wasn't a "nice" beer but I bought expecting to be a bit afraid of it and it wasn't that awful. I found Schlenkerla's weizen to be harder to drink to be honest (and I love their urbock and marzen to bits).

Now, I've had Gipplsland Gold before, and it's got a tad of diacetyl going on, but Nothing compared to this abomination of a beer. Not one for tipping a beer unless it's infected, but 3 sips in, this went down the drain.

F for Fail.

Awww, don't say that
I've got a bottle sitting at home waiting for me to drink it

It literally smelled of sweaty gym socks and tasted no better.

Had a good chuckle at that.



Oettingers is the worst beer I've tasted, and Rivet from Aldi is a close second.

I also recently had a "limited release" Belgian Dubbel Chocolate Ale from Matilda Bay. It cost $9 for a 640ml bottle and while it wasn't the worst beer I've ever had, it's definitely the worst I've ever paid $9 for.

Funny, no one has mentioned their homebrew failures! Maybe they don't count, but in the early days I had a batch of kit lager using the kit yeast, warm fermentation, with an infection and it's easily the worst beer I've ever had. Needless to say this was brewed before I bothered reading a homebrewer mag or coming on here.

I'm not a fan of commercial watery beers either but they're better than infected homebrew :blink:

Red Dog Draught for me. Released in Tassie about 20 years ago. Only lasted around 6 months. It was back in the day when I was a real povvo, and could only afford a 6er every now and the. Used to get a tallie of VB on a Thursday night to watch the footy show. Went without for a few weeks and got a 6er of Red Dog. Drank 2 - gave the rest away. Extremely dissappointed.

Oettingers is the worst beer I've tasted, .

I dont mind the OeTTINGER cans for a cheap beer.

 

[MashPaddler]

+1 for the US Bud. It is not beer, it is an unsanctioned beverage of torture.

Echoing my sentiments elsewhere (and kierent above), I often think I must be the only brewer who makes average-shit beers every now and again. If I set out to make a blandish malty lager for quaffing and the end result tasted like Oettinger I would be pretty happy.

The choc belgian thing from Gage Roads may be over priced and not really a good representation of any particular style, but I'd happily drink several pints of it...I pay $9 for a pint of beers much less interesting than that in Ballarat.

I have made some absolute shit - not even infected, just shit. I'm sure I will make more, but each brew I tighten the process and try to get a little bit better and more consistent.

The worst beers I've ever had have all been homebrew, and plenty of it has been mine through the years.

 

[surly]

Not including homebrew, there are a few bottles of "Bali Hai" in my fridge. They will stay there until some class-less guest is stupid enough to drink them. One was enough for me. Tasted like cheap tequila in soda water.

 

[Damien13]

Yeah... I agree the Oetinger (have no idea how to spell it) is not a bad mega swill to be honest! Freaking cheap and at least it tastes like SOMETHING! Worst commercial beer I have had was a VB can in a dodgy motel room a few years ago. Must have been off, as it just tasted like melted plastic mixed with metal.
yum.

 

[Damien13]

ooh, actually Tui tastes like plastic as well. A truly disgusting beer.

Agree on Magic hat 9, was not a fan.

In all fairness to Budweiser etc. they are brewed brilliantly to maintain the blandness that they are known for. h34r:

How to make a really shit, extra really shit...
Doesn't exist anymore with good reason

 

[Bridges]

I thought magic hat#9 was awful too, not worst ever material, but awful all the same.

 

[stakka82]

Yeah I'm going to jump in to defend Oetinger too actually... If I have to pick a bottom of the barrel cheap lager I will pick up a sixer of that every time.

 

[lukiferj]

I haven't met anyone that like Magic Hat #9, myself included.

Hammer n Tongs would have to be up there.
