Whats The Worst Beer You've Ever Tried?

[myles_3000]

My first ever brew :icon_vomit:

 

[Northside Novice]

there is no worst beer, just that some taste better than others

 

[Dazza88]

Monteith's Summer Ale - horrible. Worst than my first attempts at cans of goo to be honest

Red Oak Organic Pale Ale. Though the 6 pack i bought was clearly infected (gushing, sour background taste) so maybe that doesn't count.

Worst beer I was ever served..

Was in a trendy bar in Newtown - Sydney with some mates, no really good beer options, so the beer order went like this, and these were on tap, and right in front of the barmaid. (Sorry it's the saddest beer order of all time)

Cold, (Carlton Cold)
VB
ICE, (Light ICE)

I was not watching when she poured the beer, but what I saw when she gave it to me was a Beer glass full of beer & ICE??

I said what is that?

She said in the most serious tone, "what you asked for, cold VB with ice". Then, when I tried to explain that was not what I ordered she called the manager.

Obviously not a good place to drink beer!

Ahhh party beer of my youth. Why party beer? I could carry enough around to get me p!ssed. Maybe I should have gone to more 'upmarket' places where you could put your beer down without it a)getting nicked or b)getting p!ssed in. Seem to remember something about bottles of Thunderbird aswell?.

AH, the point, worst beer, A high % Black and tan I've done for xmas. Out of the fermenter it tasted like (and the hole point of this drivel) Tennants Super.

A beer (if you could call it that) by the name of Dutch Gold, sold in cans in Ireland for around 5euro for a 4pack and is the grog of preference for local deros. Someone handed me a glass full at a party once had a taste asked what it was "it's dutch gold" my reply, "dutch piss more like it".

Also not a fan of the matilda bay bohemian pilsner, fowl drop if there ever was one.

Red Oak Organic Pale Ale. Though the 6 pack i bought was clearly infected (gushing, sour background taste) so maybe that doesn't count.

I was going to say the same thing - Red Oak Organic Pale Ale. Mine was gushing and super-sour to the point where not a single bottle could be finished. I even emailed them to tell them that I had received an infected batch. Their response: Must be the distributor's fault, take it back to where you got it from. Lost a customer forever that day. And now I see reports all over the net of people getting infected Organic Pale Ale's from Red Oak. Fail

Phillips Gingerbeer in Canada. It's not ginger beer, it's ginger infused, unidentifiable ale. A waste of an otherwise average ale and a stain on the name of gingerbeer.

I'd have to support some of the sentiments that tenants super has it's place. When you're unemployed and trying to party, that stuff's the ticket. Drink a 4 pack and you're ready for some brawling and pub crawling.

i had a redoak summer lager the other day, absolutely rubbish, i couldnt finish it. smelled like wet old lady bits.

in fact anything from redoak taps appears to be pretty ordinary of late. but the old english ale was pretty good.

montieth summer ale is rubbish

 

[Blackapple]

I was in the states and on the menu they had "gay pride beer", I ordered one and have never forgotten the taste.
I shudder to recall.
Next worst was Pabst ice or something, found a 24 can case in a supermarket for $5, although as we were poor travelers at the time we drank it all..... it got much better after the first 6 :icon_vomit:

Interesting that no-one rates redoak - last time I was in Sydney on holidays (a few years ago now) we had dinner at the brewery and everything was pretty good... Maybe its they're bottling process? :unsure:

VB

+1
I can feel the hangover coming on as I drink vb. I know it's such a standard comment for ahb community and seems a pretty predictable to take a shot at the market leader (by volume)

Next worse would be ted platinum

 

[kelbygreen]

I have to go with my first brew. I read this forum and went to the LHBS and got a starter kit. I had read that it should be fermented at 18-20c but asked the sales person was it ok to brew in this weather (the day I asked was 38c) and they said yes its fine. so after 2 days of 38-40c the brew was done! YAY! my first home brew tasted out of the fermenter, OH **** that aint good, Oh well must be what green beer taste like. 4 weeks later opened a bottle. Hmmm this has not got any better oh well wait a little longer.

By now had a second brew in a bath of water was about 25-26c and tasted that when finished I was like its little better but went back to drinking VB lol (it taste better) after 3 months and a fridge and temp mate never looked back

Once I thought xxx from Toowoomba was the worst but.
I used to work on cattle stations when younger.Had a big blue in Blackwater and going to job at Dingo,slept under a tree in my swag,woke up feeling ****,black eyed and busted,waiting for the mail truck.Pub opened and I got a shilling in my pocket and a beer is 11 pence so over I go for a cure,asks for a cold beer,the bloke goes and pumps something with his foot and here's the beer I would have killed for.One mouthful and tipped it out,and I really needed one.
McLaughlans from Rockhampton.
Had the VB chuck downs up north,we called them Vomit Bombs.

There dinner and beers they serve you are great.
But their redoak honey something that I got in micro beer club delivery was toilet water!

i just took the smell of younger lady bits after a night in a nightclub, and multiplied it in my head.

i can only assume it is worse.

 

[.DJ.]

never had a bad redoak beer off the tap... bottling can throw up issues I guess...

infact their Bitter is one of the best beers I have ever tasted.

 

[hazard]

My old dad told me that there was no such thing as a bad beer ....

But he never tasted O'Brien's Gluten Free beer. Give 'em points for trying to make a beer for people who can't stomach gluten, but this is truly horrible. Beer is like cake, it just doesn't work without gluten.

Had a mate RAVE on about Tusker Premium Lager from East African Breweries.
He would not shut up about Tusker @ $85/case and how great it was.

So I tried some.
Then I got two extra glasses.
Filled them with tap water.
Performed a blind triangle test.
Could not tell which one was the Tusker.

 

[Fodder]

Im in a bind with my Footy Club and the crappola beers they have in the fridge. Choices range from:

Melbourne Bitter, Vic Bitter, Corona, Carlton Draught, Tooheys Extra Dry & TED Platinum & some others that escape my memory...

The Platinum is dam horrible. Possibly one of the worst beers I've ever come across...

Out of that bunch I've been going for the VB and MB as at least there is some taste involved. Not a great tatse by any stretch of the imagination, but a taste nonetheless.

Needless to say, I am campaigning for some more suitable beverages to be brought in, however as the Competition is supported by Carlton I dont fancy my chances of getting anything good...

Should have thrown a Birra Morretti Lager in there as well, just to make it interesting :lol:
