Well, besides that, it helps to drink it in the summer.
I'm not much in the mood for one in the winter.

Wow. This is a tough one. The only two beers I've never finished a
portion (can, bottle, draft) of are Carling Black Label and some hideously
powerful barleywine by Eku (sp?).

Prolly Lone Star, I guess. Anything you _can_ finish is, by definition,
not _that_ bad, so it's a hard call.

Dood. Lone Star is a good beer.

Worst beer I finished, by a MILE, was Kastle, or something like that.
It was a grocery store "brand" in San Antonion in the late '70s.

A VERY close second was Pearl Light.

In fact, Kastle was bottled by Pearl, I think.

I had a really skunked bottle of IPA a few years ago, but I didn't finish
that.

Of course IC light was tops one year at the GABF

I didn't finish the bottle of Altes that had a giant fungus ball in it that I

Worst I ever finished - Busch. Nothing else is close.

Well, maybe Pearl is close, and I guess Dixie is right in the mix too,
but I'm pretty sure Busch was the worst.

Buckhorn. On several occasions in college, drunkeness was necessary
and brokedness occured. You could fill a bathtub with bottles of
Buckhorn and ice for $20 back in the 1980ish time frame. It was a dirt
cheap party followed by a wicked hangover.

For me, Gulder Lager, from Nigeria, which I encountered around fifteen
years ago. Heavy on sorghum adjunct, I believe, and a very odd chemical
taste, reminiscent of the smell of nail polish remover. This may, of
course, just have been a mishandled bottle, but the experience was
unpleasant enough that I have not been disposed to give the stuff a
second chance.

really?!!! my bottle shop does stock Gulder. i
just never have the desire to pay a penny for such a
chemical drink [so is Heinnie]!

Any ethnic beer at an ethnic restaurant (e.g., Tsing Tao at a Chinese
restaurant, Singha at a Thai restaurant, etc.). They're all skunky,
theyr're all insipid, and people just go bonkers over them (when they are in
the ethnic restaurant).



(This definitely includes Mexican.)

Um, but... a German restaurant serving rippchen & kraut, a Czech
restaurant serving pork & dumplings, or a Belgian restaurant serving
mussels & frites are also "ethnic," y'know?

And the Mexican joint I go to serves micheladas made from Negra
Modelo or Dos Equis.

"Ethnic beer" is a kinda bogus label, anyway. If you mean beer from
southeast Asia, most of 'em are ordinary international lagers, 'cause
before the Europeans showed up, they didn't really have much of a beer
culture. The pre-Columbian Amerinds drank fermented beverages made from
corn, but - call this a hunch - they probably didn't resemble the cheap
adjunct-laden American lagers that also contain corn (syrup or grits).

As far as beer goes, though, it's all "ethnic" in one way or another.

Better even. Singha - just to take that one - is, according to M.J., an
authentic German recipe from an authentic German Braumeister who came to
Thailand. And indeed, compared to the Leo, Thai and other brands one can get
served in Thai restaurants, way better. I've had plenty of Singha that was
not skunky, and it does indeed not completely without some qualities as a
timid Bock.

I have an untested theory for the US that says beer culture is strongest in
areas of German, and to a lesser extent Czech, immigration. It makes some sense
in comparing Pennsylvania to Florida. I think for Southeast Asia you can
probably find a correlation of an old German colony and a modern brewery.
Tsingtao comes from the former German area of China.

Singha doesn't do much for me as a sipping beer, but I really liked it with Thai
food.

Not at all true with Sing Ha. HTH.

Point taken. It's probably a decent beer. Whether, side by side, I would
take it order it at a Thai restaurant here in the U.S. instead of ordering
a local microbrew pilsner that is much fresher and made with crafted style
is one question. The other question is why people fawn over it when they
go to ethnic restaurants, and then never think of it, or buy it in, on
other occasions.

My college roomate and I split a case of Olympia one evening.

The first one was bad. The next 11 didn't really cause a problem until
the next morning.

Busch Light also has a special place in my heart. There was a bar near
Marquette that didn't check IDs and had a 8-11 happy hour of unlimited
Busch Light for $3.

Well, they had to cover their fines somehow. The place was busted so
many times I had to make sure I knew where all the exits were.
