Worst Beer/Lager Ever

[Yarrgh]

Not had it in probably 25 years but mckewan's lager was awful.

I also remember a dirt cheap lager known as Olympus that was outrageously accompanied by the tag line "beer of the gods" which was probably the root cause for the extinguishing of the traditional Greek polytheism of antiquity.

Skol and Budweiser are not even beer, both knat’s pee

John smiths

I always liked John smiths for some reason. Like eating bad Christmas chocolate

Higsons wasn't a good pint.
I think they tried to brew lager once..

Cask is ok (when you very occasionally find it), keg is pish.

I was at a small real ale festival in the Newcastle Arms when an old chap wandered in, went to the bar and ordered a John Smiths. The whole place turned into The Slaughtered Lamb. Complete silence and shock ensued. “What? I like it”

Skol.

They gave them away at Leeds fest. Disgusting.

That is a proper boozer. Haven’t been there in years. It still open?

Assuming you mean the one up near Chinatown, yes.

Also known as the Top Arms as there was another Newcastle Arms down by the Tyne Bridge known as the Bottom Arms (now the Bridge Tavern)

Tuborg also smells of vomit

Tuborg, particularly that served at 02 gig venues, is the worst beverage known to man.

Just saw Skol mentioned in the Everton forum, and Chang mentioned the other day, and wondered what the GOT consensus is on the worst ale out there? Or even a discontinued one.

Carling, Chang, Skol and a homebrand Aldi one from uni I can't remember the name of for me are the worst, but I honestly think Chang at Goodison was the worst of the lot.

Grunhalle Lager. Used to be sold in Greenhall pubs in the 70s and 80s. Undrinkable. As was Greenhalls bitter too.

Strangely enough, mix them together as a pint of golden and it was weirdly palatable.

What was the lager sold in Higsons pubs?. That was pretty crap too.

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Many many many years ago Wetherspoons were selling an ale of about 80p. It was utterly disgusting. Can't recall what the hell it was.

Can we extend this to ciders?

Pulse cider. Used to buy it from tye offy to neck before going to the local rock club. It was cheap and potent. But rancid.
