I can't even remember the name of it.......pretty sure it was Chinese but I was either in Vietnam, Thailand, or Singapore at the time........too long ago to remember which one. Domestic......regular Miller was horrible and again some cheap brand I can't remember the name of back in the 80's. But was always a fan of Bass Pale Ale, Pacifico, and even some Guinness.

Well my list goes like this,

Schmidt, Buckhorn, Beer Beer, and the all time winner as the worst beer I ever had was back in 1978 we were back east racing snowmobiles and I traded a guy a 6 pack of COORS which at the time you could not buy back there for a 6 pack of "BILLY BEER". Now who remembers that nasty tasting stuff. One swallow and I realized I got the worst end of the deal. I keep those other 5 for a long time just because I thought it was cool to have, but eventually I think my first wife threw them away.

Steel reserve in a low end gentleman's club outside of Ft.Hood Texas in 2005. I was already intoxicated but that "beer" was downright horrible. Wanted to puke watching one of the entertainer's slam a can for a $5 bet.

Follow up from my original post because I feel so strongly about my choices. Lost Lake is like $11.89 for a 24 pack. Are there any cheaper beers out there? I think not. Let that sink in.

Milwaukee Select. About 10 years ago I lived in a small Colorado Mountain town with lots of poor Ski Area Employee burnout neighbors that used to come over and yuck it up after work. I could not get any of them to finish/or drink more than one Milwaukee Select - for free! That's right, freeloaders would not touch this beer for free! That's bad. It was even cold.

Edit: I realize this may vary regionally so my claim of Lost Lake being the cheapest 24 pack may not stand everywhere, but it's still really bad.

Those are some nasty beers, I will raise you a Lost Lake Ice. My uncle worked at the brewery that brewed Lost Lake, Beer 30, 4 Loko, etc. There were always free 30 packs laying around, not that they weren't cheap enough to buy... I regularly drank beer 30 and Lost Lake to save money back in the day, no way I could drink one today.

This reminds me of a college party some friends had. We organized it late and tried to get two half barrels, but the liquor store was pretty much sold out on the Friday night. We ended up getting a 1/2 barrel of Old Milwaukee N/A and a Miller lite. We opened the N/A first, and you could not throw a boot without hitting some "drunk" stumbling around a half hour into the party. Power of suggestion, maybe, but evenly devided between male and female. Shoulda been a psych major🙄

Worst beer I’ve had was 10 Barrel’s “pub beer” bought in a store. I had it at the brewery and it was drinkable but they must ship out their reject beer to the stores, a couple of my buddies have bought it and said the same thing.

Wow, I didn't know Lost Lake "Ice" existed. I bet it's delicious! Never had 4 loco or beer 30 or even heard of them. Free beer is free beer, if someone gave me free cases of Lost Lake right now I would still take it I guess. It's like the rat that takes the pellet even though it knows it's gonna get shocked. Your uncle must have been one rugged dude. 😁

Lost lake! Couple college buddies and I got pretty tuned up one night, ran outta beer and scrounged our pennies together to get the cheapest 30 pack we could which was lost lake. Even drunk I don’t think we could choke more than one down

Big Buck Beer from a now defunct brewery (I think) here in MI. Tried a couple slugs and poured that nasty bastard in the sink, which was stained brown until I sprayed it out with blazing hot water. I also bought a 15 pack of Natty Ice and drank 2 after a few light beers. The next day it felt like I'd slammed a fifth of rot-gut, so I gave the rest to a buddy that actually enjoys that horrible flame-thrower fuel.

Your giving your age away when you talk about Coors being scarce and Billy beer.

Restaurant/brewery in Durango, CO. It was listed as Jackrabbit ale. I'm pretty sure it was jackrabbit piss.

Any of the Ice beers that came out in the 90's... absolute garbage.

Love or hate hop aroma and/or bitterness, it's there to cover up the taste of high alcohol (>5%). It's why IPAs, Bitters, Stouts, and other high-alcohol beer tend to be hoppy.

The ice beers had no hops.

Kokanee... Ice House... Labbat's... and many others.

Never poured one down the drain, however...
