Below is a list of worst beers in the world as rated by the thousands of beer enthusiasts at RateBeer.com. Dare to try them? We don't advise it. We provide this list in the name of beer education. We aren't picking on the fat kid as much as we're making a few big brewers accountable for their products that are more about beer hype and marketing than substance. If you're interested in how good real beer can be, we can certainly help you out! Try a link or two in the right hand column.

Sorry for the table format, I did my best. The table at the source link reads easier.

I'm disappointed that my favorite bad beer isn't listed--Old Frothingslosh. (Yes, they really used to make this beer in Pittsburgh, Pa., and the cans were hilarious. The beer, on the other hand...)

Including the nonalcoholic beers seems unfair.

I love Natty Ice! What the heck are they talking about? Milwaukie's Best is plain nasty, though. Most of those beers I haven't tried. Colt 45 has gone a little "skunky" though, but I didn't see it on the list. This thread should be fun : )

Does anyone remember Carlin Black Label Beer? Now there was an all time terrible beer, but I don't think it's still on the market. Thank God!

I would've thought Red Dog would be on the list. Same goes Milwaukee's Best. Never tried Genesee Cream Ale and I won't after this thread.

Blatz beer -- because that is the sound you make spitting it out.

The worst beer I've ever had also had the worst label design I've ever seen: Private Men's Club. Unfortunately I can't find a graphic online. From time to time you can get it at Morton Williams.

Why isn't Red White & Blue listed. That crap tastes like kerosene.

I'll bet trying to say that name is fun after 4 or 5 beers.

Still around;

CARLING BLACK LABEL

Brewed in Canada since 1926 using a slow fermentation process and top-quality ingredients, CARLING BLACK LABEL is a light, clean-tasting blond lager with a subtle hint of hops.

CARLING BLACK LABEL is an easy-drinking quality beer that needs no more introduction.

Its distinctive black label gives it a mysterious, sensual and somewhat rebellious air.

To satisfy the full spectrum of consumer tastes, the CARLING BLACK LABEL family now includes Black Label, Black Light and Black Dry which are complemented by a selection of beers with a higher alcohol content (from 5.9% to 10%) available in economical 1.18-litre bottles. http://www.molson.com/brands/molsoncanada/molsonbrands.php#8

Anyone who has been stationed in Korea would rank OB beer rather highly on that list.

When I was in high school (early 80's) we gave my friends brother $25 to buy us beer. He came back with 10 cases of warm Black Label. We were thrilled.
