Worst beer?

i can't stand american beers, tho i never had it from a micro brewery.
i'm told the usa had great beers til prohibition, beers made for quality that never returned. i suspect this is true because i love canadian beer n even some mex beers.
this is very sad because i'm a buy american person.
Having grown up in the UK (OK the beer is at 55 F), I must agree with Susieqz. IF you have to cool a beer so that your taste buds are unable to distinguish the taste from ice water, then you really do not "taste" the beers. Now a Guinness at 55 F is a delightful beer (actually a Porter), and in a properly made IPA you can taste the hops. Remember, IPA was designed to be the ballast in East Indiamen that took over 4 months from the Pool of London to Bombay, so it has "staying power". Once my son, who is a regular in the USAF tasted European beers, he threw away all American beers in his closet and learned to appreciate "good beer!" Dave_n
 
Yes! American beer is the worst! I would rate Mexican beer over American beer any day!
But I like German beer.
Prost!

I am not that critical, although I certainly have my preferences. In those days, San Miguel was the BEST, until I discovered German Lowenbrau Dark. The description "German" is not superfluous; later American Lowenbrau did not compare. As to the worst, I believe that Carling Black Label may have qualified. Although this may not be relevant, they were floaters. Common Navy practice at a picnic was to fill a ****can with ice and beer. When the ice started melting, only the Carling cans floated. Form your own conclusions.

Today my preference is Natural Ice, an Anheuser-Busch product, although I certainly enjoy some other beers, usually with my in-laws, who are more connoisseurs of brewed products. I often compare American beer to romance in a canoe, although I obviously don't take it very seriously.

You can talk all this hi-falutin' explanation you want, but anyone who has ever owned an English motorcycle or automobile knows that the real reason that Brits drink their beer warm is refrigerators by Lucas.
 
I stopped drinking alcohol back in 1988. I don't miss it at all.

Even so, I'll have a beer now and then when I'm with my brother in law. He lives in Ohio. We were in the grocery store once and he turns to me and says, "I've seen this stuff, but never had any. Wanna try some?" It was "Burning River Pale Ale." So we get some.

Cleveland should file a defamation of character lawsuit against this company for using their name on the packaging. I've never attempted to drink kerosene, but I imagine it would taste just like this stuff. Absolutely the worst beer/lager/ale I've ever had. I couldn't force myself to drink the whole bottle. We only opened two and poured the rest down the drain.
