Anyone else chasing the Worst Rated Beers list?

I would argue those beers aren’t that bad, and New England IPAs aren’t THAT good as ratings would suggest.

 

Just to prove how bad that pun is, look at post #30.

 

You mean from those of us who actually *like* beer?

In my own defense, I've only reviewed 4 of the beers on the list, and 2 of them have big rDev rankings -- but I haven't reviewed more because those beers are what launched my quest for better beer. Wasted a lot of calories from the late '70s through the mid-80s trying to find beer that was more than, well, maybe not animal excrement, but flavorless dreck.

And the Micro Boom® certainly proved I wasn't the only one.

 

Seriously man like bud light it’s never gonna be my first choice but is it really the 9th worst beer in the WORLD? I know it’s marketing and all that but

I’m not excusing bud select 55 lol there are some truly dud beers. But I cannot conceive anyone would rather say, all things being equal, Miller genuine draft is one of the worst beers on the planet while others rave about high life as the preferred beer of craft brewers. As far as “we actually *like* beer” the arrogance of such a statement is astounding

 

I can dig it. I also can appreciate that in any ranking something has to come at the bottom. I guess it’s just the descriptors I take issue with. A lot of the beers in the bottom hundred id describe as plain, flavorless, watery but maybe not tasting like actual garbage. And trust me I get there are bad bad beers. But for every Anheuser Busch dud I’ve had something from southern tier, new Belgium or Sam Adams that was actually foul tasting but with the veneer of credibility because of its maker
