    Samuel smith's imperial stout. Would have been a drain pour but I ended up using it in some chili. It was much much better in the chili than on its own.

    I can't remember the name of the now defunct brewery near st louis but it was a smoked lager, tasted exactly like bud light with hot dog juice! Also lil lucys Hot pepper ale literaly tasted like spicy heartburn.

    A co-worker bought me Shiner Bock as a Christmas Gift. It was/ is awful. Re-gifted most of it to my in-laws.

    This. BL Chelada was offerered to me, so I tried it. I did not finish it. The only other beer I did not finish was an actual drain pour -- Fort Collins Dopplebock, but I was already drunk and that beer was just way too heavy and it was late at night. I probably already posted that on this thread but I'm not going to search through 13 pages to see.

    Olde English 800, as far as macros go. Literally tasted like skunked piss.

    Worst craft? Probably Weihenstephaner Korbinian. I dunno if it was a bad bottle or not, but it REEKED of wet dog.

    Last year I tried a Sam Adams Cherry chocolate bock. I think is what it was called? It was in the holiday mixed 12 pack, by far the worst beer I have ever put in my mouth. Total drain pour after not even a quarter of the bottle. It was too sweet and the cherry flavors were so artificial tasting, just a bad combo all around.

    Sweet Baby Jesus is bad but worst beer ever? So much worse craft out there. I really don't like that medicine chemical flavor, though. Reminded me of the flavored powders they put on chips that somehow make them taste like crazy shit like chicken and waffles. You have to wonder what the hell it is they are using to make such flavors.

    dunno what liquid gold you're getting up there in Alaska your keeping from all of us plebians, but if Hop Stoopid is even on your top 5 worst beers of all time you are one lucky bastard. You HAD to have had a bad bottle or you just hate IPAs because that beer is above average in the style if you like the style.

    THANK YOU. Virginia native here and I agree wholeheartedly. Coriander bombs. Gross

    Samuel Adams Scotch Ale.

    Picked up a sixer for the hotel room while on a business trip. Tasted like a 1/2 shot of cheap whisky and a nugget of half burned charcoal tossed into a beer. The aftertaste was so bad I would have chased it with a Coors Light. I drank one and a half and left the rest in the refrigerator as a tip for the maid. It literally wasn't worth the space it took up in my luggage to bring it back home. Blah!

    Ghost Face Killah. It was absolutely punishing. Hot Peppers. It was so spicy-hot that a one ounce drink ruined a good night of drinking. Had to drain pour it.

    I'm guessing it has been listed before, Sculpin Habanero.

    Really surprised by this one. I had it for the first time last week and enjoyed it immensely. Kind of like having a top-notch IPA along with some out of this world hot wings. Granted I couldn't do more than one at a time, but I intend on picking up another one my next trip to the bottle shop. I also read it's great mixed with the Grapefruit Sculpin.

    Decades ago, I was young and drank what was available when I wanted to get intoxicated. Honest. That's all it was in the 80's. I drank some spectacularly horrible beer back then. I remember a party at a good friend's house; a 1/2 barrel of Meister Brau and a SPIKE through the eyeball hangover. Old Milwaukee was my go to at that time...the only taste profile (that I remember) was a sweet finish. Any way, the one and only beer I couldn't choke down was Gobel. Ghastly. Gallons of "Old Mill Water," Busch, Bud Light, Miller Light, etc. was light years ahead of the putrid flavor of Gobel. Fast forward to 2015, I still drink American Adjunct lager with great enjoyment. I've seen the rise of micro-brew, brew-pub, craft-beer mania. People tend to join groups and then beat up other cliques that don't agree with their brand of shoes, politics, or potato chips. Taste is subjective, and good fodder for diatribes, like this!

    Of recent memory - it's got to be Steel Reserve.
