What's the worst beer on sale in the UK? Some disgusting examples I can think of are Carlsberg (although Export isn't quite so bad), Carling (was this really once Britian's most popular beer, it tastes horrendous) and worst of all Tennants - why do the Scots like this stuff!

Hoegaarden. I've never drunk my own piss but that's what I'd expect it to taste like.

Closely followed by Budweiser (no taste and gives me a headache)

Anybody saying Stella is wrong, it's a million times better than any of those piss water beers like Carlsberg, carling, fosters etc etc

Just drink Guinness, it actually tastes of something good and it's not pumped full of chemicals!

That's the one, damn awful stuff. Mind, saying that I wonder how much that was watered down.

It's nice usually, possibly a bad barrel?

You could be right, a bad barrel. But considering it was Blackpool & full of drunks, you could guess at almost anything.

You may have drank something ungodly without knowing!

That is a distinct possibility in Blackpool. I haven't been to Blackpool for a few years, and not likely to either. There was one place there, (if I remember correctly) the Lifeboat, what a shambles that was. It should have been condemned along with it's beer, questionable of being beer at best.

John Smiths unless you count anything which is brewed from water that has been anywhere near the Thames.

To me there's no point saying its right or wrong to like a beer - it has to be down to your own tastes.

For example, I can easily handle Kronenbourg, Amstel, Cobra, Tiger, Carlsberg Export etc, some will hate those in the way I can't really stand Becks, Fosters, Stella, McEwans or Tennents. If I was looking for a bitter then Cains/Higsons are the ones.

Its six of one, and half a dozen of the other. Not a lot else to it is there?

Skol is pretty bad and own brand Supermarket stuff. I don't mind Carling, I drink it most of the time so you get used to it.

No, Hoegaarden is excellent, a classic beer. 30 or so years ago in Scotland there was a brand called Lorimers and that really was the nadir of British brewing. Not only vile tasting, but weak and pumped full of chemicals. God knows why people put up with it.

Anything bought in a Weatherspoons pub.

They must practice at getting it so bad.

Just about every lager is p*ss-water IMHO
For me, Stella and Grolsch stand out as being particularly p*ssy - why the hell they are so highly rated is beyond me.

I always drink bottles at Wetherspoons, the prices they charge it's cheaper to drink bottles there than pints at most places.
