What was the name of the beer thatRalph Kiner used to promote during Met's games in the 70's? Can't recall the name but I bought a 6 pack of it for a dollar once and puked my guts out after 3 beers...in college we lived on Old Milwaukee...piss poor but we could get a case of pounders for 5 bucks...
What is the absolute WORST beer you've ever tasted?

In the '70's while in the Navy, our ship had a port of call in Mombosa, Kenya, where they serve a brew called Tusker Lager.
Call me crazy, but I didn't think Carib was that bad. Of course, this may have had something to do with it...
I hate to say this, but I once picked up a case of a beer called Nittany Ale:

Was SO excited to bring a case of this to a college reunion. The bottles were so cool! Unfortunately, the beer was horrible. (Possibly because blue bottles are terrible to store beer in.) We wound up not drinking most of it, and just dumping the beer to keep the bottles.

Usually ANYTHING by Ballast Point is fantastic, especially their Sculpin IPAs. The Grapefruit Sculpin is fantastic.
I've actually enjoyed the habanero Sculpin - BUT...it has to be drunk fairly cold, when it warms up the pepper gets hotter. I also LOVE spicy foods, so I can handle the heat. AND - you need to drink this with food. SPICY food, preferably Mexican food. THEN, its awesome. By itself? Can't drink it.
But I can only handle one at a time. I've also heard that if you split this with 1/4 habaneo and 3/4 regular scuplin, the burn isn't as bad.
Delusional as usual.

Your' weakness is your belief that you are the Alpha-Omega of debate.
Nice dream you got going there.
There's your problem, good sir. You were drinking a FRENCH beer in Germany!

I would say Pabst. Really awful, but now quite a popular beer in hipster Brooklyn. You can get cans for $1

Says the guy who slunk away from the last debate with his tail between his legs, letting me have the last word. I appreciate you recognizing my defeat of you in the other thread by constantly posting "1 - 0", but it is insulting that you ignore how I crushed you post after post, page after page, and condense it down to just a single overall point awarded due to victory. It should really be like 35 to 0... Plus you didn't take away any points for all of your fails. So probably more like 35 to -17.
Your weakness are basic grammar, punctuation, ability to logic/reason, and general grasp of concepts learned beyond the 8th grade. You can't even stay on topic in your own thread!
The thread got locked after you last posted.
Delusional as usual.
"Slunk away with my tail between my legs?" Oh please, you are the next Bruccine Jenner sir. Now go take your estrogen pills.

We got a great thread here. Don't ruin it junior.
Sam Adams Cherry Chocolate Bock. The only beer I have ever spit it and poured the rest down the drain.
As it is in green bottles, it regularly gets skunked while traveling to the US. Beck's sometimes had the same problems.
I don't think you have to actually taste that to know it isn't going to be good.

Here's Beeradvocate.com list of the worst, by popular vote.
(As expected, it is dominated by light "beers" and Natural Lite was voted the worst).

That is a very good choice for a bad beer. I have a friend who actually thinks this is one of the greatest beers on earth, probably because they used to advertise it at the Polo Grounds many, many moons ago.
According to wikipedia, it's not the same beer - they shut down in 1976, the label was revived in 1998, and it has been reformulated several times since.

Jacob Best, I had a lukewarm one at a frat party my sophomore year in college, it felt like i was swallowing a brick the way it sat in my stomach. Couldn't drink anything else that evening.

Just awful. Took a trip to Florida in 1979 and my friends and I drank it for a week. Weasel pi$$. Sure was cheap though.
The 3.2 beer in Ohio could be just about any brand. The Budweiser, Busch and others tasted just like their regular stuff, which was only about 4% anyway. Back in those days American "lagers" were about 2.5 to 4% and the stronger brews such as Colt Malt Liquor went up to 7%. At least with 3.2 beer you know you were getting 3.2 percent alcohol and that is why it was more expensive to make because it had to be at 3.2 percent, at least that is what I had read many years ago. The Brewers couldn't wait to get rid of having to brew the more expensive 3.2.
With regard to Prior, that is what I drank in the Penn State bars back in college. A $1.75 per pitcher compared to most other beers that were $2.50 per pitcher and it was like drinking a microbrew compared to that pisswater like Miller,etc. that were the "regular" draft beers you could get by the pitcher. When I would travel back to State College after graduating I would try and pick up some Prior until it wasn't made anymore.
With regard to Generic beer. The stuff they had in NE Ohio in the early 80's was brewed by the Pittsburgh (Pissburgh as we called it) brewing company and was probably rejected batches of Iron City. Some was also brewed by the Cleveland brewing company that was known for it's POC, aka Pilsner On Call, but we renamed it Piss Of Cleveland.
Ah, I see...then the current (or at least current as of a few years ago) formulation is God awful.
Holy Schmidt's.......this board is full of alcoholics, sorry, I mean Imbibers. Worst beer I had was Iron City in the very early 70's, It was cheaper than a case of soda! I understand it has improved since it's inception.
In the '70's while in the Navy, our ship had a port of call in Mombosa, Kenya, where they serve a brew called Tusker Lager.
I have a Tusker Beer T shirt one of my daughters brought back from Africa. When I wear it no one knows what Tusker beer is except a bush pilot in northern Manitoba on a fly-in fishing trip. Go figure.
My choice is Falstaff. Not only is their beer lousy but when they bought Ballantine Brewery they changed the formula of Ballantine Ale and discontinued the Ballantine India Pale Ale which at the time was about the only India Pale Ale you could buy here, and it was great.
Ballantine IPA is back! I've not had it, but I hear its actually not too bad. I'm not sure if I trust those beer nerd reviews yet, given the fact that I associate Ballantine with Phillies baseball, and I also associated Schmitz with Phillies baseball, ergo - transitive property implies Ballantine is bad beer.

Can Pabst actually brew a GOOD "craft" beer? Why don't the damn hipsters drink THIS - this is a real blue ribbon beer apparently
