Re: Which is the worst beer? PollCouldn't agree more, which is why I try and avoid it as much as possible. They used to sell Estrella which was at least a bit different but that went last year.(Original post by py0alb)
That's a pretty standard offering in most pubs, 3 **** lagers, a **** cider, a **** bitter and a **** stout.
and this stuff sells, because you have to drink something.
Its a ****ing disgrace, the abysmal average quality of beer offered in one of the best beer producing nations in the world. -

Re: Which is the worst beer? Pollahh inbev drove it into a ditch in 2009(Original post by jeddows)
My dad had a Castlemaine 4X wash bag!
And that's literally all I've ever heard of that beer ¬_¬
They used to spend millions advertising itXXXX was brewed under licence in the UK by InBev Ltd until 2009. It was commonly available in cans in British off licences and sometimes on tap in British pubs, although it was much less widely available than Foster's (which is found in many UK pubs). At 3.7% alcohol, the British brewed XXXX was somewhat weaker than most of the Australian variants. Castlemaine XXXX was withdrawn from the UK at the end of June 2009 when InBev's licensing agreement expired.

Re: Which is the worst beer? PollCastlemaine XXXX was dire. I've voted Carlsberg, Export is OK and actually pretty drinkable, Carlsberg itself is an awful awful beer. I don't mind Carling either despite the fact it is a terrible beer.

Re: Which is the worst beer? PollCan't stand lager unless I'm somewhere hot (or there's nothing else). Ale or Guinness for me. The only beer I've ever poured down the sink was Boddington's. And I can't stand all these fake traditional 'Oirish' cider/creamy beer inventions. When I was growing up in Belfast it was Guinness, Harp (a particularly thin and acid lager) or Smithwicks (a rather weedy bitter). That's all there was.

Re: Which is the worst beer? PollOooh, tough decision. For me it's between Carling, the drink that was always on offer at our local newsagents at uni and always in our fridge despite hating it, and John Smith's, a drink I just can't bring myself to like. That said, I haven't had a John Smith's in years and my tastes have changed. I just remember it being strong and awful.
Hmmm I don't think i'd say no to a free Carling if I was thirsty on a boiling hot day. John Smith's it is then.
On a side note... has anyone ever tried Carlsberg Special Brew? How bad are we talking? -

Re: Which is the worst beer? PollRice doesn't stop it being a beer.(Original post by walterwhite123)
Budweiser isn't really beer. They use rice to make it.
Anyway, Carlsberg, how anyone voted for Guinness is beyond me off that list, drink of the Gods. -

Re: Which is the worst beer? PollBeing from Finland I can tell you we have the worst beer ever here. Karhu, Olvi and Lapinkulta (the regular ones normally found from bars) all taste pretty much like pee...
So yea, all of the listed in the poll are at least better than what we have here

Re: Which is the worst beer? PollThere's a few out there I can tell you that, just not a great deal, my Ma can't drink any gluten containing beers so you suddenly have to broaden the search somewhat to find something good out there(Original post by walterwhite123)

Re: Which is the worst beer? PollOh come now. Guinness is awful mass produced filth. It tastes like tramps smell. CAMRA refuse to even recognise it as a stout its so godawful.(Original post by Fingersmith)
Best accident ever. Anyone who doesn't like Guinness doesn't understand beer.
I suggest you go on a local Mild Trail this May, you'll see how good dark beer can be.
