    1.) Bud Light Lime- Had it at a BBQ going years back. Tastes like soap water with a little bit of artificial lime flavoring.
    2.) Haywards 5000- Use to work at a liquor store. Saw it in the cooler and was curious. Bought one and brought home. Instant headache from drinking it and had a terrible taste I can't describe.
    3.) Genessee- Bought a 30 rack of it when I was in college senior year. Cheapest beer in the place and there was a party so I said screw it, lets try it. Never again. Tasted like I was drinking metal.

    Honorable Mentions:
    1.) Yuengling's Lord Chesterfield Ale- Straight skunk. And it wasn't old.
    2.) Troegs Mad Elf- First off, I love Troegs. But I can't stand Mad Elf. Just not my thing.

    Butternuts Pork Slap pale ale stands out in my head as a beer that I was absolutely disgusted by. Tried to drink one and just had to pour it. Tried to drink another, just as bad and poured the whole six pack, I wouldn't even have used that stuff in cooking. Now maybe this was early on in the production or a bad batch but wow, that's the only beer that stands out in my mind when people talk about bad beer. Just checked my Untappd checkin (one star - recommend against drinking) for it and that was in 2011, maybe I'll grab a single can somewhere and give it another try.

    Bought a growler of Magic Hat Pistil last summer and after choking down most of a pint I just couldn't take any more. That stuff was awful. I tried another pint the next day and it was even worse so shock of shocks (perhaps even alcohol abuse) I dumped it all down the drain! Whew, glad that one's over, never again. I read somewhere that its been retired, imagine that:confused:

    Two stick in my mind, after all these years. Magic Hat Wacko -- smelled like a Toni home permanent, tasted like beets and loathing. Wicked Beaver Hoperation IPA -- made me take everything nice I ever said about Texas beers and specifically state it did NOT apply to that beer; more infected than Paris Hilton.

    I love Stone, but Russian Imperial Stout Chai-Spiced tastes like cinnamon & chai infused with laundry detergent.

    Labatt bourbon beer. The most vile concoction of grossness I've ever had the misfortune to taste. I'm not sure how any company could come up with that and think "Yeah! That's a winner! ". NO! Its horrible. It tastes like really bad old lady perfume smells.

    Seemingly every beer that I received from a beer of the month club, either personally or passed along to me from others who went that monthly club route.

    Neighor gave me a Saratoga IPA last night, which boasted as a "traditional west coast IPA....using Cascade and fuggles hops"....shut shit beer

    I have a new one. Earthquake High Gravity 10%.

    Deserves to go on a taste bud offenders list for life. So many chemicals and puked up bottom shelf vodka.

    i really don't like bud light, it tastes like flat soap. the only beer i would prefer being sober over. maybe it's just conditioning but natty light, miller lite, coors light, and even keystone light are more enjoyable than bud light. but i don't mind Budweiser!

    I'll preface this by saying that I used to enjoy malt liquor - a lot. Crazy Horse. You know that post-nasal drip, bottom of the 40, toxic waste that hits the back of your throat and screams get me the f*ck out of here or I'll force you to hurl? Well, yeah, Crazy Horse tastes like that from first sip to last. I had occasion to use some of this when we ran out of the standard macro fare used to play beer pong. There's nothing worse than a grown man waking up on a basement floor, only to realize he's been cuddling with a pound of sliced deli ham all night long.

    Taj Mahal Premium Lager. Man, that thing stunk. Not sure what had happened to it (it came in a brown bottle but I guess that's may not have been enough) but it literally tasted metallic and kinda sewage-y.

    Shipyard XXXX IPA (Pugsley's Signature Series) I may have been burned by a bad bottle. It wasn't old and I drank it at the right temperature(nice and cold on a hot Maine summer day), but this beer was memorably gross. Tasted like ass-pennies and malt gone wrong. Never again I say, never again.

    Many years ago I had a cannabis beer from some Belgium brewery with a monastic name and I was the absolute worst beer on earth until I tried to brew some myself. Hops and marijuana are related but not necessarily in a good way.

    Lol, no you smoke one, brew with the other, and they mix beautifully. I made some brownies like 40 years ago, seeds , stems the whole bag, actually two oz bags. I was fucked up for two days, eating and smoking are two seperate things. It was a gnarly batch to be sure.
