Jonestown punch. Somewhere in the Nittany Barracks, or whatever that place was called.

Anything "Malt Liquor".Old German. Forties. nuff said.
Ham rum...we made a rum ham for a tailgate and we drank the rum leftover from soaking the ham. Think about salty $10 dollar ham flavored rum.
Was Mickey's "malt liquor"? I'm from Michigan (but I don't like and have never met michnittlion...and hope never to do so), and was introduced to some interesting, mysterious brews as I ventured East.....
I discovered a fondness for Gennesee 12 Horse Ale along with Yuengling, but I never understood the purpose of Mickeys. The little green glass bottles were unique, however.
BoT Kool-Aid brewed in November 2011. I've never had any but have heard it does a great job of killing brain cells and making people stupid.
Probably at one of our parties in Nittany 28. That and the Purple Jesus punch. Good times!
In regards to bad beer, Stroh's. I think this is what monkey piss tastes like.
Schaefer beer hands down was the worst I ever drank. Bought a case for 4 bucks once and ended up giving almost all of it away. I occasionally drank Mickey's after college and didn't think it was all that bad, especially compared to Schaefer. My favorite in the bars was Prior Double Dark. Wish I could still get it.
Mickey's Malt Liquor had those big mouth bottles which were nice for swilling at a high rate but they were a pain in the a$$ when you were driving as the wide mouth allowed brew to escape the bottle and soil your pants during evasive driving maneuvers.
Great find. Squatty little bottles....that I understood made anyone who imbibed same " squat " the next morning.

Either PBR or Schaeffer ( I think thats how it was spelled). Sorry I don't care enough to look it up.
both were just flat out bad.
Mickey's was def. malt liquor. The only thing those bottles were good for is if you were on a trip and didn't want to stop.
I was a big fan of the 12 horse ale. Is that still around?
I was a Michelob and Michelob Dark guy.
Oh and Bass Ale at the Cafe and Dark Horse Tavern.

Michelob? Were you a trust fund baby?

LOL. No but I had a great work/study job that provided a lot of refreshments and recreational activities.
Yuengling was slop beer when EVERYONE was at PSU. Other than that, I think Milwaukee's best and Natural Lite were the worst.
I don't get the hate for Mickey's from so many people. In the world of malt liquor its the best you can buy, there are so many malt liquors that are so much worse. Like colt 45 double malt.
When you are out of Schlitz you are out of beer, when you are out of Old Style you are out of business - not a terrible beer and being from the Chicagoland area was ingrained in me.
Gibbons, it was awful and their slogan was "...the beer that made Milwaukee jealous". Another one was Utica Club. It went right through me
I don't think I drank a beer that wasn't nasty when I was at PSU - Iron, Schlitz, Bud. Coors hadn't come East back then so there is that. But the absolute nastiest college brew was Colt 45.
Now that I'm old, wiser, and have more change rattling around in my pocket, I go with local craft beers.

Anything "Ice" is pretty bad. Not all that long ago (90s) you could get a 30 pack of Shaefer at the beer distributor in Burnham along Logan Blvd there for about $8. I used to buy it! LOL. The Phyrst used to sell Natty Light on draft when I was at PSU. Murderous. Pitchers were dirt cheap though. That stuff was so bad I think they used it to hose the place down when the night was over.
My all-time worst had to be Hop-n-Gator, a fruity malt liquor from Iron City. It took a friend and me almost a year to finish a case of it. We had to be really desperate to drink that instead of throwing it away.
