Worst ever would have to be a swill called Werewolf brewed in Lithuania. I honestly bought it for the bottle and the name. Shared one 12 oz with my tasting buddy, we both took one sip, looked at eachother and gagged. Poured the rest out (which I'm fairly sure helped out the septic tank) and vowed never to speak of the experience again.
The worst beer I have ever had was called Huber. When I was in college in 1995 we could get a case of it for $8.60 out the door with glass bottles and a 10 cent deposit per bottle. So being a poor college kid this was the solution. This beer was not fit for consumption at all. They used old Anheuser Busch reject bottles for their own. You could literally peel back the Huber label and find half a Busch Light label still attached or a Bud Light sticker which made me question their sanitizing standards.
That's not even the worst part, the first time we drank it we drank from the bottle and almost threw up as I felt the unfermented yeast balls going down my throat. It was almost like drinking snot. We decided that with a little Mcgyvering we could make it tolerable by pouring half a Natty Light and half a Huber that was poured out thru a nylon to catch the yeast and keep it in the bottle into a solo cup. I'm not proud of these things...
I think I'd have to say the worst beer I've tasted was probably New Holland's Dragon's Milk stout. Tastes like a bitter, medicinal syrup. Close on its tails would be Old Speckled Hen. I'd heard about it often from folks across the pond and its greatness. However, I thought it was pretty putrid.
I do have to ask the question... how come there are so many 1 time posters on this forum that just posted in this thread and then bailed? If there weren't so many with so many widespread "worsts", I'd say they were "plants" that came here just to bash a beer. (Quite a few single-digits posts members also.)
over the summer i was on a scotch ale trip and one time while making a 6pk at bevmo i decided to get all british isle imports so i had some scotch ales and then a few english darks and browns
old speckled hens was a beer i got. And honestly i cant remember if it was good or not.
I'm now curious. I know what I'm gettin a bottle of this wknd haha

Try to find it in nitro cans. It's a great bitter on nitro, but bottled, it comes in clear bottles and is usually quite awful.... ya know, clear bottles = light struck beer = skunky, funky mess.
Only fancy craft brew I just couldn't even finish was Lost Abbey's Angel's Share. I like sour ales and wild ales and the funkiest of funky lambics... but Angel's Share was just too weird. Tasted like flat olive brine out of an old metal can. Not my style.
Super Brew 15 by SC Martins (Romania) was the worst I've ever had by far. Got it as a recommendation from the owner of a wine store after expressing interest in barleywine. It has a horrible off flavor that I couldn't place, and my wife and I both got a headache within minutes of drinking it (and I rarely get headaches even when hung over). I don't know if it was just coincidence, but I suspect it had some fusel alcohols. Most of it went down the drain.
Hey! Newbie to forums here! One of the worst "craft" beers I've ever had was Horse Piss beer out of Kentucky. Apparently, it's fairly popular from what I've been told. I found it undrinkable....
