Dumbest post ive read on here in a long while, well done.

Budweiser
Heineken
Carlsberg

The only reason people drink them is because of expensive marketing campaigns.

shannonman81

Carlsberg, Carling, Smithwicks, Budweiser.

I don't get Coors light either....tastes like watered down sugary muck

Any of those beers you get in Spain.. Tropical Mahou San Miguel etc are rank unless they are ice cold(but that could apply to all beers)

I love Paulener and some of the Erdingers.

bnt

I wouldn't normally go near Budweiser, but some years ago I was in a hotel bar with some guys who were talking about how bad it was. I thought they must be exaggerating, so I bought one. They weren't exaggerating.

More recently, I was really depressed by Molson "Canadian". It was really poor, nothing like the Molson I tried in Canada. If you want to try real Canadian beer, you can get imported Moosehead, which is much better and no more expensive. I don't want to taste glycerine in my beer, eh.

Some of those craft beers, particularly the double IPA's where you can imagine the gears going in their head whenever they are brewing it

"Mass market beer is just so bland lets make ours really hoppy, hmmmm maybe that was too much hops, ah sure people will drink it anyway because its craft and will say 'you can't have too much flavour' or 'its an acquired taste'"

I'd recommend Dark Arts Porter for a craft one that hasn't been following that nasty trend

Taste is subjective, different strokes & all that...

Don't get me wrong I don't mind hoppy stuff otherwise I would never be trying stuff like those IPA's but its the lazyness of it that annoys me, its easy to make a beer really hoppy its harder to make it have other tastes as well. Too much hops is a real thing :eek:

Pang

Coors. Their questionable ethics haven't exactly enamored them to me either over the years.

coolbeans

Almost all of the generic beers sold on tap in Ireland are awful. For a country with such a lauded pub culture pretty much all the draughts taste awful with the exceptions Guinness and Murphys.

Yeah, I love a nice IPA and I'm regularly in the mood for something very hoppy, but even then I've had stuff that was way overhopped to the point of being really bitter and nasty tasting. Not bitter in a good way like a nice English bitter either.

to be honest, there is some awful muck calling itself 'craft' these days, like the McGrath's stuff. They started stocking that in supervalu and a couple of pubs around town, it's awful.

I was on a flight once, I had a Pilsner Urquell. Great beer. Then I asked for another and they were out. I asked what they had left
Bud - nope
Miller - meh, prefer not
Michelob Ultra - Ok, I've not had that, I'll give it a go.

*cracks open can* *takes sip* *almost vomits*
Uggghhhhhh, WTF is this? This isn't even beer! This is like if you took a real beer like Pilsner Urquell poured out 9/10s of it and filler the 9/10s up with water.
I couldn't finish it. Had to send it back and the only thing I could get to was the horrible away was a Miller FML.

ohyes they do

I don't like the watery beers like Bud, Molson etc. but I don't HATE them, I'd just prefer something that has a taste (any kind of taste!). But my least favourite has to be Dutch Gold, I just find it painfully horrible to drink and it always gives me such a rotten hangover too

That's just a generalisation. There are plenty of places that sell it at a reasonable price. The Franciscan Well and the Bierhaus in Cork sell cask ale for €4 a pint. Heineken/Budweiser/Guinness etc. would sell for about €4.50 a pint in the rest of town.

Craft pubs generally don't rip off people who drink less, as well. A half pint costs half the price of a pint, not about two thirds.

Carling. Euuughhh

From Wikipedia: The subculture has been described as a "mutating, trans-Atlantic melting pot of styles, tastes and behaviours" and is broadly associated with indie and alternative music, a varied non-mainstream fashion sensibility (including vintage and thrift store-bought clothes), progressive, independent, or far-left political views, organic or artisanal foods, and alternative lifestyles. Hipsters are typically described as affluent or middle class young Bohemians who reside in gentrifying neighborhoods.

Take a walk around Trinity College's Arts Block on a Thursday afternoon and tell me these people don't exist. I'm in my final year of study there and I have to wade through them each day on my way to the library.

what do you expect from something that makes Dutch Gold look expensive ?

Capt'n Midnight

I like a nice pint of Smithwicks but what you get in pubs is too inconsistent and mank out of a can.

Harp is a bit like that, once upon a time I've had a nice pint of it. But not something you'd rely on. Ages since I've bothered.

Carlsberg , heard a rumour they add cabbage oil to it and there's a small part of your brain going "that explains everything"

Weiss beer I can understand why people like it , but I'm not one of those people.


Real Ales. Not the real real ales, but the warm flat stuff you get a lot of in the UK, it's got the same gas , colour, temperature, and suddsyness of overnight dishwater.

keith16

Corona or that other stuff Sol. Woeful.

Dave_The_Sheep

Bud. Carlsberg. Heineken.

Take your pick.

Lingua Franca

Budweiser is pure pish.

Faust. I have had so many beers in Germany. So many. And I have loved so many of them. So you order beer in Germany fully expecting to get something above average or exceptional.

Until the day you get something from the Faust Brewery. It has to be.... The. Worst. Beer. Ever.

I have had hangovers from their Alcohol Free beer. It is THAT bad.

Femme_Fatale

Carling. Dish-water. It really tastes exactly how I'd imagine dish-water to taste; has a diluted washing-up liquid feel to it.

Pretty much pure cack...


For me it's any of the "beers" like Desperados which are really alcopops for the dull minded...

Care to elaborate, I think makikomi is spot on. Overpriced, though I admit I like a couple of them.

Very few value for money beers in pubs these days. The vfi / mafia have it sown up. And us eejits pay their priced .

Your taste buds are obviously non-existent. How can you can claim to taste no difference between the likes of Heineken and a good craft beer? Of course they're not all amazing and taste is quite subjective but jeeesus....

I've never tried the stuff but one look at the label told me all I needed to know. Horrible gaudy studenty look about it..

I shall give it a go when I get handed a free one but I ain't paying for it!

Tenzor07

Trying to remember the "Taste" of these least fav beers..

Carlsberg: Watery, horrible aftertaste
Budweiser: Watery, tasteless
Coors: Vile
Heineken: If there is nothing else and you really have to.

McChubbin

Dutch Gold and Kopacki both gave me severe stomachaches after one can. Nasty, rank stuff.

thelad95

Tuborg. Complete river-water.

entropi

I'd really not prefer to even hint at it being a beer, but Budweiser is closer to piss than beer...absolutely rotten stuff!!

Sulla Felix

Probably guinness or any stout really. Never understood how it's so popular.

Tuborg Export, on the other hand: I remember it went down a treat on a hot day in England after a job interview that did not go well. One of those "I need a drink" moments that are thankfully quite rare for me, but it was there when I needed it. Two pints of that, the train ride home was all the better for it.

Boldberry

O'Hara's IPA is horrible and I hate Bud, Coors Light and Corona.

Crumpets

Fosters. Pure and utter piss!

Randy Shafter

Carlsberg. Vile stuff. What the ends of various kegs must be like all mixed together.

"Emu" beer in oz...its actually what I'd think a dead emu tastes like.

ezekel

Carling Black Label, McEwans lager and skol are three more i wouldn't recommend.

sheroman01

Tuborg.

Tried some different IPA's recently.

Seemed very hoppy(?) in their taste. Not a huge fan(so far anyway)

thejaguar

Dutch Gold.
Don't know how I drank so much of it when I was a young lad

Coors Light. Truly awful.

I also hated Ola Dubh Special Reserve 12. This was the beer that made me realise that I know nothing about beer, or that everyone else knows nothing about beer, because it's bloody rotten. The problem lies with me in fairness, but my god it was terrible.

Feck. That's my 'very favourite, special treat' beer. One of us is extremely wrong. Of course, seeing as this is an internet discussion board, that'd be you!



I agree with you on the Hoors Shight though, which confuses the issue...

GLaDOS

Worst beer I've ever tried was Keller, they used to serve it in the bar in DCU, absolutely foul stuff.

Hate Dutch Gold too.

Re. craft beer, it's usually not that much more expensive than a regular pint, especially when you consider it's generally a higher %. If you're smart about where you go you can easily pick up "different" beer at a reasonable price.

Tin Foil Hat

Blue Moon. Absolutely vile. Probably the only beer I've ever been served that I literally could not drink.

czechlin

O'Hara's red ale - yuck; although I've tried few other and came to the conclusion that red ales are just not for me.

Canadian Molson - don't know what's the fuss about, didn't like it at all.

Desperado - no thanks

The worst I've drank so far though was some bottled beer from Oregon (if I remember correctly) that gave me a blinding headache after a second sip. It had a nicely designed label, something to do with pirates but god that was like an assault to my taste buds.
