    I bought a sixer of Cranberry Lambic back when it was around to drink with a buddy who was visiting, this is before I was really into craft beer and just sorta casually bought random beers with no prior knowledge of their quality. So all I had cold in the fridge to drink before we went out to a bar for the night was SA Cranberry Lambic. After the first sip we both looked at each other like 'oh shit, this is gonna be a battle'. We each powered two back and threw in the towel. I ended up drain pouring the last two.

    Fast forward to today, same buddy was over today for the Packers game and we had CW Black Gold, NG Vintage 2014, Surly Abrasive, FFF Pear Bear and Coffee Bender. So I guess you could say we've gotten better at this beer thing haha.

    Busch Light is more water than piss IMO. Not hard to down that banana/rice water for me. It's brewed to be inoffensive. The worst failures, I find, are from those who are actually trying to be a little different. Of course, no indie brewer has ever made something quite as bad as the barrel age Labatte that started this conversation.

    I'd gladly huff on Glade furniture polish before drinking another of those. This was my very first drain pour.

    I feel like a lot of you might disagree, since I've gotten into debates with a few people since trying this one. But because of the season, I decided to try the Angry Orchard cider for the first time, and I absolutely despised it. I feel like I'm not too big on ciders in general but I couldn't even get 1/6th of the way through the pint without trading in for something else.

    Couldn't finish more than half of my Mikeller beer geek series breakfast. Tasted like someone brewed coffee with perfume instead of water

    Keystone light is horrendous but when you're buying kegs on a budget you kind of have no other choice

    Taste Lab, Brand van Leuven. Absolutely disgusting. Made me gag. For sure the worst thing I've ever tasted.

    Wadadli - lager from Antigua, loosely translates to What Died In Ya.
    Paradox Skully Barrel no 4 - American wild ale - completely flat sour. I got it down, but struggled
    Spiteful La Diabolique Fee Verde - absinthe barrel aged porter - most carbonated beer I've seen. It was like I poured a Dr. Pepper

    No kidding right, it should be illegal to distribute this crap, it's really hard to believe anyone would invest time and money to can this shit. I'm thinking it tastes like antifreeze smells, weirdly sickly sweet, I've obviously never drank antifreeze , but I'm thinking this is close.

    The worst beer I've tried recently was Tall Tales' Bonnie and Clyde DIPA. Not a DIPA, not good.

    I believe I agreed on that a few months back as well. That one and Indian wells beer are some nasty liquids!

    My business partner likes really crappy beer. Talkin Stella, Mumford cream ale, blue moon, etc. He loved this beer so much we brought three cases of cans into our bar to sell as our beer special. He drank about three in two weeks, took a sixer home, and we sold maybe five more. After about three months I carried two plus cases outside to our homeless friends. We are best buddies now, and we got rid of the SLAP. The poor rep will still call and ask if I wanna order again. I'm prolly good for the next couple years friend, please lose my number

    Goose island IPA is pretty bad these days in my opinion. I first had it at the real brewery, then had it on draft here in CA. once bud took over, and it was pretty thin and lackluster for sure. Maybe it was never really good, and my palate changed in those 18 months or so, but it's just not anywhere near yummy.

    Indra Kunindra from Ballast and the Crime & Punishment pepper beers from Stone. All 3 are equally disgusting IMO

    Glad I'm not the only one, I just thought I had a really old bottle. Not horrible, but not good either.

    that's simple= very pervasive chemical taste. Thank goodness my beer monger gave me one (did not buy) and asked me to try so he could speak to it with his clientele.
