There are some really messed up hybrid beers in this world. Please tell me about them
For me:
Colt45 Menthol beer. Absolutely the worst thing I have ever tasted. Imagine a beer with a bunch of menthol cigarettes soaking in it. Just like that.
Some awful “blueberry lager” that was a Christmas promotion, but it tasted like blueberry Nyquil.
I think the menthol beer wins, though. Something about beer and mint…they should just never go together.
Some I like more than others, and I tend to stay away from weird concoctions where they mix beer with menthol or green tea, or brew it from algae.
Not a big fan of Belgian beers like De Gulden Draak etc, mostly because I find the alcohol content to be too high (verging on wine), and it has an odd sweet taste to it that I don’t like.
[quote=“Deuce Dropper”]For me it is Taiwan Beer in the generic can.
It’s like battery acid, but with more of a hangover.[/quote]
I’d have to agree with that. I like Taiwan beer in the bottle, but that canned stuff is woeful.
Carling Extra Strength…the 8% stuff homeless people (and students ) used to drink in the UK. Urrgghh.
Most light beers (as in low calorie), while I wish I could like them, I can’t stand.
I once had a beer that was so bad you would not even believe it.
It was brown, the color of toxic sludge. There was so much foam I didn’t know if I was supposed to drink it or take a bath in it. It had a weird burnt taste, almost as if they had roasted the grain before brewing. If I didn’t know better, I’d swear that the brewers had treated this so-called beer with some derivative of fish bladders. It was indisputably the worst beer in the whole world.
I forget where the bartender told me it was made- I only recall that it was some backwards and insignificant British Territory of some type. The name started with a ‘G’… Gryphons? Guineas? Something like that.

Oy! That one’s a personal favourite. Used to retreat to Zino for one and a respite when I lived in Taichung. Kept me sane.
Worst beers’ have been skunky drafts. Dirty pipes, contamination, or whatever… nasty, nasty stuff.
After that, various wheat beers, and Taiwan Beer blue label.
I miss all the microbrews that were available in Montreal.
