Least favorite beers?

What beers do you hate? Any funny reviews from beer advocate, or of your own?

Bud Light:
>Like stale ice water, flat club soda, too cold, nothing. Room temperature water is preferred. Slightly yellow, no head, a bit malts, Dry, metallic, can get one to swear off beer.This is one of America's most popular selling beers, what an embarrassment.

Barely a beer, but I hated it so much i couldn't get through a 4-pack. I love Sprecher's "soft" root beer, and thought this would be just as tasty, but oh boy was I wrong.

I fail to see how not choosing the worst of something is being pretentious. When you eat would you rather eat flavourful food or bland food, providing they both have the same noutritional value? Same difference mate.

Bud is good for what it is, a light macrobrew. You obviously have never had Keystone Light before.

[Anonymous No.5506663]

I'll take a Bud Light over damned near any other macrobrew. It's flavourless and inoffensive, there's nothing there to even get upset at.

Yeah, those are terrible. I love their soft and hard drinks, but that one is the second worst thing they make (with the worst being the scotch ale).

Some white rum in their regular root beer is the way to go, and it's fucking tasty.

Greene King IPA. It's the most average pint of beer you can get, I'd never choose it over a standard lager or bottled beer. In fact, I've never had an IPA that's been better than a best bitter.

Desperados is also one that I dislike. I used to really like it, but as I've gotten older I don't think there's any scenario in which I'd rather have one than a cold corona or pint of lager.

Off the top of my head, I've also had many huge disappointments and hated other I can't remember. Major beers tend to be mediocre, but not actually undrinkable.

[Anonymous No.5507155]

The answer is Corona.

I would rather have ANY other beer than Corona. College-tier 30-packs are easier to down than that shit. Every swig will have you regretting ever picking up the fucking bottle. Tastes like someone spilled some PBR on a dirty floor then mopped it up with a mop made from shit-encrusted dingleberry hairs and decided to bottle it in a nice clear bottle because it doesn't matter if it 'skunks' since it couldn't possibly have any further negative impact on the taste of the beer.

Fuck it is so bad.

A few things:

Yes, I've tried it with the lime. Still tasted awful toe me.

I'm also not a big fan of having to add something to a beer to make it taste 'bearable.'

This is one of the worst offerings from what is possibly canada's worst brewery.

People only drink it because it costs like 6 bucks a six pack in BC and beer there is generally expensive, but it's really not worth it. I can only drink it if I chug it extremely cold while not breathing through my nose. In fact, shotgunning it would probably be the best way to get it down, but I never bothered.

This was the foulest shit I ever put into my mouth. i knew a lot of guys who drank it in college because it was like $6 a case.

It would depend on what you're looking for.

Do you want a coffee taste?
A roasted caramel taste?
Clean grain taste?
A very hoppy and aromatic beer?
The list seriously goes on and on. If you can give some insight on what you personally might like. I may be able to help you out.

[Anonymous No.5509312]

>>5509285

a lot of stouts are easy to get in to. Most have hints of chocolate and/or coffee. As for other beers, try something like a brown ale like Newcastle. Avoid jumping into really hoppy beers like IPA's. Your tongue will have to adjust to that. Also avoid your standard popular light beers like Bud, Coors, Miller, etc...

But really, just ask the dudes at your local liquor store. They'll point you in the right direction

Check google for local breweries. Try out a Chocolate Port, Stout, Imperial Stout. IF you like Coffee taste like you had said.

Personally I am a red ale sort of guy. A cheap and decent red ale is Fat Tire Red Belgium. It isn't great but not bad. Better than most macros.

Boston Lager is their flagship beer, which is pretty good for what it is.

Usually stores like Walmart will have variety packs, often based on the time of year it is. Obviously it's summertime now, so they will probably have a summer variety pack.

Summer beers tend to be lighter and easily drinkable, whereas winter beers tend to be darker and heartier

Most overrated beers: Blue Moon and Stella.

[Anonymous No.5510241]

>>5509285
Hint: try NOT drinking them straight out of the fridge. Beer that's been on ice doesn't have any aromas for your nose to detect and numbs your tongue, so whatever you do taste will just seem wrong and incomplete.
Since beer was invented pre-refrigeration, it should also be drunk that way for the best flavor.
Try drinking your next beer when it's about 50F/10C, aka a little cooler than room temperature. You'll be amazed at what you taste, and how easy it is to decide what you do and don't like in your beer.

[Anonymous No.5510242]

shock top and blue moon both give me the absolute worse hangovers. I think it's that fake fruit shit.

Stella is at least tolerable for me

[Anonymous No.5510258]

>>5510241

this is great advice

If you do fridge your beer, just let it sit for a little bit before cracking it open. The flavors really come out when it warms. Of course there is a limit, get it too warm and the flavors will get skunked, and there is no turning back

Also this really only applies to craft brews. Macro adjunct lagers like Bud, Miller, Coors, etc. are always marketed as being "ice cold", and for a reason, because the coldness masks how terrible the beer is. Ever drink a warm Miller Lite? Might as well just drink your own piss.

Walmart does carry larger "craft" brewers, though. I'm in MO and most Walmarts here carry a few Boulevard and Schlafly beers.

Still doesn't come close to even the selection of those tiny convenience-store sized liquor stores, though.

[Anonymous No.5510295]

>>5509315
You can still find decent beer in a Walmart. It'll be a macrobrew or a widely-distributed craft like Sam Adams, but there is some quality in there. My local Walmart even carries Fat Tire.

As for what I like, it tends to be malty stuff-most of the pilsner styles just taste thin and bad to me.
If I have to go macrobrew, I like Yuengling lager. Maltier than most pilsners, and I find it makes for something that tastes less like piss.
Currently I'm enjoying the last of my Yuengling Bock, which is even maltier, richer in flavor, and meant to be drunk close to room temperature.
Ales are also right up my alley with the exception of Guinness (never got one that tasted good, ever) and IPAs (tastes like pine sap to me). When Budweiser American Ale was around a few years back I liked it, I also like Wexford Cream Ale, Boddington's, Anchor's Liberty Ale, flavored Lambic if my hops-hating wife wants to drink a beer with me, and the occasional Samuel Smith Oatmeal Stout when I have a few extra bucks.

My local Walmarts sell a handful of good beers that are brewed here in the city, from two or three different breweries too. I don't buy beer there when I want something new or a specialty, but knowing that fucking Walmart is selling great locally brewed beer makes me very happy. And it's totally profit driven, this is Walmart. That makes me even happier, it means that enough people want local beer that they encouraged Walmart to jump through the corporate hoops to stock tons of it.

To me, this is a good sign.

[Anonymous No.5510370]

>>5510346
It is a good sign.
Where i am (south GA) is a local beer wasteland, but even here Walmart's got some decent stuff. It's not local, but they'll stock Terrapin, which comes from north GA.
It really does depend on your local store management and what they're focused on. If they can get a local brew or two and it sells, they'll stock it, period.
Only thing people don't get is just how much it has to sell for them to keep it on the shelf. Your local liquor store might only have to sell a few cases a year to make it worth their while-not so with Walmart. They need to sell a number of cases a week to make it worth keeping in their cooler.

[NAMEFAG No.5510414]

>>5510370
Yea i get that, they need to be selling lots for Walmart to even bother keeping it on the shelves. I'm not so much happy with Walmart as I am with the local beers which found their way onto the beer aisles at Walmart. They normally keep them on display stacks at the end of the aisle too which is awesome, that means they are selling lots of them. If a small brewery is doing well enough to have an endcap at the local Walmart, they're doing something right IMO.

Seems to me like you've already been trying several macro beers and you don't like it. You should now walk into a snobby beer bar and ask for something entry level. Since they are snobs they will serve you something that is easy but still craft beer.
