The REAL worst beer of all time.

I tried it, and agree with EVERY WORD of this review.

1. Now I am intrigued...

[arbusto_baboso]

2. Seriously, you don't want to do that to yourself.

But if you're anything like me, you won't be able to help yourself...

[Throd]

4. I must know if it is more vile than Camoflauge Malt Liquor

[arbusto_baboso]

5. That, I could not tell you, not having tried the latter beer.

3. Hmmmm

Hi,
Thanks for the much needed laugh this afternoon. Funny review, especially the last two paragraphs. Doubt if I could find it to try it around here.

Peace

6. That sounds even worse than Crucial Brew

a truly VILE Jamaican concotion that delivered its mule-kick hangover after half of a 12 ounce bottle.

[arbusto_baboso]

19. What was the ABV on that one?

[hifiguy]

20. A British site found with teh Google says 9%

at least. Apparently this poison is not brewed any more.

[arbusto_baboso]

21. Huh. I've had beers that are around 12% and up.

They never affected me that way. Must've been some nasty impurities and/or additives in that one.

[hifiguy]

22. I remember the smell as solvent-like and highly

alcoholic. It could have been skunky but it was so bad it was hard to tell.

I've had a Trippel Teufel Belgian-style ale on tap, and that was smooth as silk though it packed a wicked wallop. It myst have been in the 12-14% range.

7. "The best beer in Viet Nam!"

"It's the ONLY beer in Viet Nam."

"We add just a touch of formaldehyde for flavor."

[arbusto_baboso]

11. Vietnamese beers actually aren't that bad.

As long as you stay away from that nasty "33" shit.

[hifiguy]

14. I had Hue beer once and it was a good light lager. nt

[arbusto_baboso]

16. Exactly. Not a world-beater.

Not all that exciting. But pretty decent.

Amazing what a nation can accomplish when it isn't being pounded with high explosives 24/7, isn't it?

8. I’ve never tasted asshole before, but I imagine that it tastes pretty similar to Super Brew 15.

Seems this beer gets similar reviews around the country

[arbusto_baboso]

10. Yeah, that's pretty spot-on, too.

9. I normally love Barleywines

but this sounds awful. Thanks for the warning.

[arbusto_baboso]

12. Well, it's not really a barleywine.

More like paint thinner or drain cleaner.

13. Worst beer I've ever had was Ridley's Rumpus

A truly undrinkable example of a cask ale from the worst brewery I've ever come across. It was actually a relief when Ridley's got taken over by Greedy King, who promptly closed the brewery down and put their own beers in Ridley's pubs.

[arbusto_baboso]

15. So, corporate consolidation was actually a GOOD thing in this case.

I guess it CAN happen.

[T_i_B]

17. That's not exactly saying much

Greedy Kerching are still a terrible brewery, and their habit of taking over other breweries and ruining their beers doesn't endear them to us beer drinkers who can remember Old Speckled Hen when it was actually nice.

Greedy Kerching IPA may be the top selling UK Cask beer, but it's still an extremely poor beer that should get Greedy Kerching sued for false use of the term "IPA".

So to sum up this was a case of a really crap brewery taking over a really abysmally crap brewery.

18. For all the damage that greene King has done....

I'm grateful that they've left the Belhaven line pretty much alone. That one at least doesn't seem to have suffered much.

23. They're still top of the boycott list

Mind you, it's happily easy to avoid their beers in the neck of the woods where I live.
