    Top
    Old Style
    Schlitz
    Coors Banquet

    Batch 19 and Leinie's Original probably close out my top 5.

    Bottom
    Hamms (worst beer I think I've ever had)
    PBR (two tall boys gave me an instant headache while I was still drinking them)
    Foster's (almost undrinkable)

    I've managed to avoid the college classics like Naty Ice, Icehouse, Busch, etc. And while I hold Budweiser to be horrible, they really aren't the worst. This was actually harder to do than I thought it would, really had to think about it, especially my top choices.

    fine, it's not American, but....
    One adjunct that is almost never mentioned on this site (likely because it's greek) is mythos. It probably would taste like swill in temperate climates, but let me tell you, in the blazing Creatan sun, it is the most sublime beverage on earth.

    1 PBR
    2 Bud
    3 Yuengling
    Bottom
    1 Coors
    2 Miller High Life
    3 Busch

    Shiner Blonde was good, then they of course stopped making it. I like Labatt's Blue, but wasn't sure if it fit this list.

    As for the worst three, let's just say the rest would have been smashed and thrown over cliffs by their Spartan mothers.

    Old Style, Schlitz and Budweiser ( all directly from a nice chest, otherwise worthless)

    The bottom of the list is whatever it is

    I'm amazed at the number "likes" for Rolling Rock. Back when it was made in Latrobe, it was ok. But since the AB aquisition and move to Newark, utter shite.

    Not sure I can, in good faith, rank three top and three bottom. I haven't really had many lately, and I haven't bothered to rank the ones that I've had. I liked a 24 oz Miller High Life that I had recently, and Yuengling wasn't bad (although I had a horrible one in Florida last year).

    PBR used to make my stomach churn and I haven't had it in years. I also found that the last Coors Light I scored had an unappealing number in every measurable category.

    Coors Banquet, Bud Heavy, Rainier, Olympia will all do in a pinch though. I have no problem drinking ice cold AALs with friends after work.

    Bottom:
    Keystone Light
    Coors Light
    Any and all high-gravity AALs.
