What about Shiner?

Tastes like it's been run through ("thoo", as Texans say) a horse.

Ugh, just remembered the WORST beer ever, the carryout guy recommended it, a swill from hell called 'Beer-thirty' 16 oz. can for 89¢ and it has an aftertaste of grape! If there only that or Bud Light to pick from, I'd go sober, out of choice!!

You’ve never cracked open a Hull’s Export.

I think they called it Export because it violated local laws

[Eric in the Ozarks]

That’s one brew I’d never heard of...

[cork]

Then there was Tech the Bonnie Beer, Old Frothingslosh, Hey Mabel Black Label, Stoney’s, Mickey’s, etc.

[cork]

Oops almost forgot about Yeungling

[muir_redwoods]

There’s a reason you never heard about it.

There was a beer brewed in Miami in the 1940+ era, called Regal.
Motto was LAGER spelled backward.
My Dad helped engineer and install the breweries’ refrigeration equipment.
Nw 7 Ave about 12 Street.

I found Pabst to have a great flavor to eat with prime beef. I know most people denigrate it, but it has a heavier flavor that goes well with steak IMO.

[MHGinTN]

If you want to know which beers are the most flavorful taste them at room temp. Pabst and Dixie pass with flying colors. Heineken did before they started ‘making it’ in the US.

Well, I drank Lone Star when I was stationed in New Mexico, but haven't been able to find it since then.

Mickey Big Mouths - the self loathing beer. The Ford Pinto of malt liquors.

One's taste for beer is unique. I'm a beer drinker. I drink a lot of beer and always have. Some are not my favorite, some are pretty good and some are down right awful. But I never regretted a single one.

That being said, I now drink Blue Moon Belgian White in glass bottles only. That is some good stuff. Excuse me while I go get another.

[BTCM]

National Bohemian and that notorious one eyed Indian beer—Ha-twoie—can’t spell it—from Havana Cuba before Castro.

[NorthMountain]

Really, all beer tastes bad,

Nonsense.

If you dislike the taste of beer, that's your business.

For you to claim, as objective fact, that "all beer tastes bad" is presumptuous and arrogant. Your personal tastes are not universally held.

BTW, you remind me of gun-control-freaks ... those who don't like guns, and decide therefore that all of us must be disarmed.

[NorthMountain]

A truly wretched brew ... unfit for human consumption.

IMO.

I used to know a lot of folks who liked it.

[JimRed]

A line long remembered from a Pabst Blue Ribbon ad I saw on TV back in the 50s or 60s:

Pabst won the blue ribbon in eighteen ninety three
And now it is here, the original beer
No longer a memory....

[RitchieAprile]

only beer worse than “33 Export”.

used cans of it for target practice.
