I'm not a big High Life fan.

Worst beer I've had recently was Bitburger. I understand where they got the name now.

Worst beer ever though had to be the case of Schaefer Light we stole from the garage of a friend's dad. Warm, crappy beer is pretty disgusting.

Aside from warm beer, the worst beer I've had is a beer I had in college called "Glacier Bay." I thought I'd mentioned it before but a search turned up nothing. Anyhow, it was like $5 a 12-pack and came in bottles. The bottles never had the label on straight. The bottom of each bottle was recessed so you could pop open a "fresh" one with your empty.

The "day after" was not a pretty thing.

O'Douls

On a serious note, several years ago I had a mexican beer that had a small pepper in the bottom of the bottle. It was purely hideous.

Big in the South brewed in Canada and bought out a few years ago.

That was the beer of choice in the 70's, bigger than Budweiser in Cincinnati.

Thank god I wasn't born yet. It's just too wheaty for me, I think. I dunno. I can't really place it but there something that don't like about it.

Icehouse is pure hell as well.

BoxingRed · 05-05-2009, 03:33 PM

Budweiser pure and simple. For some reason that stuff burns my throat. I can't finish a can of it.
I remember a gig where the club owner was so proud when he offered us Bud, thinking it was better than the usual swill we got. I think we drank 3 and one of the guys in the band went to the liquor store down the way and got us a 12 of PBR.
Iron City is foul too.

Yes, it's a beer past it's prime, crafted more in mid century palettes. I can barely get one down, Budweiser of course kicked their ads up mightily in the 70's and Miller swung there ad dollars to Lite and the High Life vanished for a long time, only to be brought back as retro answer to the questionable reemergence of the dreaded PBR.

If you're talking retro beers, I loved sampling my Dad's little brown bottles of Blatz. I still think those are pretty cool, but I can't say that I've seen Blatz anywhere lately.

Yep, High Life was my grandfather's favorite beer.

Blatz was the poor boy beer in Milwaukee compared to PBR and Miller, PBR bought them years ago and Miller now brews both (making the founders roll in their grave no doubt) , Blatz is pretty regional though.

Non-alcoholic.

Or empty.
