I was a great believer that there are no bad beers.
Well, some just are better then other.
Homebrewers have a habit to slag VB and like for bad beer.
I think i have found one that is worse.

Little Creatures Golden Ale.
It taste like a brewweiser munich lager brew wirh kiy yeast heavily oxidised. :D lol
Seriously it is incredible bland.
I brew a lager that turned out a bit thin and only had an IBU around 25 that tasted more then that with HSA.
"Blow me down" as Captain 'You know who' would have said.

What you worst commercial beer? :ph34r:
 
Hahn Ice is one of the worste most bland tasting beers i've ever had
 
Anheuser-Busch's Michelob ULTRA "vomit in a bottle" the only time in my life where I bought a beer and couldn't bring myself to drink it.
 
I never knew Little Creatures made a golden ale.
As far as I'm aware, they only made a Pale, Bright, a Pils, and a Midstrength - Rogers.

The Bright ale isn't much to write home about, but the rest are great. Many a night has been spent knocking back the Pale Ales and Rogers. Best served at the brewery I've found. Beautiful Place
 
Got side tracked anyway.

Worst Beer - if you can call light beer a beer, is Hahn Light. Never really been a fan of anything Hahn makes.

Finding it hard to read the label but I meant
James Squire Golden Ale

Pardon to Little creature out there

There are much, much worse beers out there than JSGA.
 
I love JSGA. IMHO a lot of those light hoppy ales start out great but get very boring very quickly, but the first one is still delicious!

There's plenty of worse beers. I picked up a six pack of a beer from el Salvador called "cantina" or similar that was just appalling.

Edit: Don't ask why a latin-american beer in a clear bottle didn't set the alarm bells ringing.
 
I'll have to come to JSGA defence here as well. I think its a top beer. It is a lighter style, not big on IBUs or malt, but its got a bunch of amarillo on the nose and i'll applaud any commercial brewery that bothers to produce something with a hint of hop aroma, rather than iso-hop the arse out of it.
any hahn or tooheys cheapies or west end get a shot at the spoon.

Well..I know that MSB have recently changed their labeling but James Squire Golden Ale would still be very difficult to be seen as a Little Creatures, even at 20 meters.
I happen to very much like the Golden Ale, it is a fantastic beer in Summer and I hazard a guess but I would estimate that it is about 30% malted wheat in the grist.
The malted wheat, in combination with really fine use of Amarillo certainly make it my favorite summer draught beer (from those that I can get close- by).
Perhaps our beer connissuer will next be telling us that Hahn Super Alpha is a crap tasteless diacetyl ridden lager after he tastes a bottle of Matilda Bay Alpha Ale (my when available favorite beer on tap by the way)

must say i'm a fan of js golden ale too, very refreshing. i also quite like little creatures bright ale, is just a bit different, which i like. as far as the worst commercial i'd probably have to give it to carlton cold, however i think the most overated beer that mega swillers pay a premium for is corona, tastes like cat's pees. :)

FFS it must of been mislabeled :eek: I reckon its tops :super: , even gone as far as to look up some clone recipes. The worst I have had would be most beers that don't have any particular style to it. Yep you guessed it the megaswill brand. West End Draught, VB, Tooheys, Hahns, Carlton Cold, the bloody list just goes on and on and on and on........... But again it is personel taste. The most over rated bloody hob nob beer would have to be Crown Lager. Sooner buy JS for near on the same money!!! I love Amarillo.

BYB
 
sorry i didn't think of crown lager when i was writing my previous post! lol I'll put my flame suit on and say that some mega swill beer is definitely worse than others, not saying they're good but if I was offered a VB if there was nothing else I'd take it (doesn't mean I like it), but if I was offered a carlton cold I'd turn it down. I also hate tooheys new with a passion. carlton light anyone :(
 
Aussie beer: All Ice Beers, Emu Export, All Castlemain, remember Red Dog - shite too, VB, Almost all light beer, Fosters crap is included.

Foreign: Had an Ale in London called Spitfire - shite, London Pride - shite, Fullers - shite, Carlsberg -shite, Stella - shite, Anything Scottish especially Tenents - very shite! American Budweisser - very shite.

Grand Shittest beer in the world is Newcastle Brown - absolute disgrace to Northern England

followed closely by two Nigerian beers served in Lagos, with formaldehyde as ingredient (cheap preservative in 3rd world places). They are Star Lager and Gilder (Nigerian Gilder). Ever wanted to die after a night on the lash - these two will bring you close to feeling like suicide as a easy way out of dealing with the hangover

P.S. Most people that drink it come from rigs where they are dry and they have been working for 4 weeks straight, and its the only beer available. Even a local pro'zzies tastes good to them.

Wow, Skippy
Tell it like it is! :beerbang: Did you try any beers that you actually liked while you were overseas? :lol: That's a hell of a long "shite" list, surely Scotland produce SOMETHING worth drinking. Could be wrong, though, dont actually remember my trip there.
To keep it on topic - I got dysentery drinking Cristal in Peru once, so that would probably rate as a pretty bad one. Worst one? Natural Lite from the US, I would guess off the top of me head.
All the best

....Tooheys Red....


....it's the liquified stool of satan....




.....oh....and fresh schooners on tap of JS golden ale at the Forbes Hotel in Sydney after the Down/Black Sabbath gig was near orgasmic...
 
TUI India Pale Ale..

I'm pretty fair minded, I wont call a beer crap till I've tried it 3 times... it might just be a bad bottle, I might have a cold or whatever, it might just be a bad batch of usually good beer.

3 tries on different occasions in different places... if its bad all three times, then it really is bad.

My three tries at the TUI IPA resulted in three sink pours.... bloody terrible.
 
worst beer

a can of tooheys that had been rolling around on the floor of the ute for that long that it was silver, drank it hot :blink:

best beer

my 1st AG
