This year for the first time that I can remember there has been a big TV advertising campaign for Budweiser here in Australia. It really confuses me. Budweiser is rat's pish, no self-respecting Aussie would drink it. Matter of fact from what I have heard from my American friends, many Americans refuse to drink it too.

True....but the worst beer has got to be Shlitz....the last time that I saw any cans of this beer-colored water, the liquor store was throwing cases of it in the dumpster!

As for Budweiser in Australia, just another chapter in why the world hates America....

Nah, as anyone who was stationed at hood, or lived in Texas knows, it's Lone Star beer.

Sorry, you haven't experienced truly pitiful beer until you've opened a can of Reading (Pennsylvania) Premium (HAH!) beer. At least what was sold as such in my youth. Apparently it's being made again. One hopes it doesn't closely resemble the liquid end-product of beer-drinking the way the old stuff did--it tasted like someone scared a vat of water with a blurry picture of a glass of beer.

We are all forgetting the beer at the lowest level of the ole septic tank....I speak of course of that beer known as...

Billy Beer!!!

And then, of course, there is Schmidt's Beer. I learned to avoid both at a VERY young age. (18 or so)

The worst beer that comes to mind is Amberg's Black Label.

While stationed with the ole 2ACR in the lovely town of Amberg, we had to move to our dedicated defense position once a month. Our route took us right past the Amberg brewery...my first experience has always stayed in my mind, because located directly across the street is the town of Amberg's waste water treatment plant. The smell of freshly brewed beer and hops, mixed with the subtle order of raw sewage...........

I have never been able to open a bottle without a strong gag reflex!

They must use the same brewing process of Minnesota Brew...lol
