The worst beer I've ever had was called Iron City ( made in Pittsburgh) I think it was made with dirty Allegheny river water and I swear it had things swimming in it. Drink it at your own risk. Iron City is pretty s----y. (Like the implied rhyme?) But as bad as that is, I'll still give the worst beer in the world award to Milwaukee's Best Light. And I've never had a Grolsch that wasn't skunky. Cool bottle, crap beer. Dang yo, I thought Steel Reserve was bad. Iron City is worse??? |

I haven't had Steel Reserve. And now I won't, not with that rousing recommendation.

well, one of the most collectively drunken nights of college involved a summer evening at one of the brothers' house for a friendly game of beer pong with about twenty or so individuals, and we ran out of beer early... so we tapped into the fridge and actually found several cases of Steel Reserve (the nastiest 40 oz. malt liquor you'll find), and started playing beer pong with those babies. Most. Collectively. Drunk. Ever.

My dad had a buddy who would come over and play guitar with him, and he always brought a six pack of iron city with him. Iron City was my first taste of beer and it was awful...and not just in the "kid taking a sip of beer" kinda awful way. I honestly think that's why I'm not much of a beer drinker. I have a couple of beers about 3 times a year when I play cards with my cousin and his buddies. I generally stick to diet soda pop...rebel that I am  |

You guys are beer wussies! Iron City is no good, and Steel Reserve is best left to the hardcore alcoholics, but all of those others aren't half bad once you get used to them. As an expert on cheap beer who has had just about every one of them imaginable, I can tell you that Milwaukee's Best Light is FAR from the worst and, in fact, one of the better ones out there as far as a cheap light beer (I think Natual light probably tops that category). I used to go to a lot of "bring your own" parties in my early 20's (maybe earlier, but that wouldn't be legal so disregard) and hang out with cheap, beer-stealing friends in general, and acquiring a taste for the cheap beer means everyone goes for the Budweiser or Corona and leaves your Schaffer's or Rhinelander alone! Granted, if I'm drinking a beer at home or at a bar, I go for MGD or cerveza Modelo. But the other stuff gets the job done all the same.
No, the worst I'VE ever had was a malt liquor called "Ocho Mallo". This stuff was so nasty that not even I could choke down the entire 24 ounce can. I've finished warm beer, hot beer, beer that had been sitting in the garage for over a year, every brand imaginable, but I couldn't stomach that stuff! That's the first and only time that's ever happened in my life. Never again, I tell you! Never again!

P.S.: ON the original question, a case is 24, 12-ounce cans. period, end of story. They sell it in 6 packs, 12, and 30, but a case will always be 24. If you go into any store in the country and ask for a case, that's what you'll get.
And "Havoc",Johnny Woo-woo would want you to drink Old Style, with the decorative Chicago Cubs cans right now! Actually, there are two of those in my refrigerator right now, come to think of it.....but not for much longer.

I think as far as cheap beer goes Pabst would be one of the better ones.

I think my problem with Beast Light is that most of it wound up in my toilet at home later, and I didn't even overindulge ... much. Granted, this is over 10 years ago, so maybe my memory is cloudy.
There was a Vietnamese beer my dad told me about when he was over there, called Thirty-Three (I believe), that he says is the all-time grand champion nasty, but I'll have to take his word for it. And it was during the war, so they took what they could get.

When I first started buying beer around the age of 16 I was a Black Label man and still like to buy a 6 pack every now and then. The worst beer I ever had Old Vienna. And a word to the wise I work in a brewery never trust the bottles you drink out of. I have seen some nasty stuff go into the soaker and still come out nasty. And not every thing is caught. We run about 400 bottles per minute so things can slip through. Just check your date code. The month is a letter A in Jan , B is Feb and so on, and there is no I month and the time follows, most beer has a 6 month shelf life.

And it was during the war, so they took what they could get. 88 is the beer I think you're talking about. Never had it myself, but as far as double-digit numbers go, "8" is the universal number for good luck among areas with significant Chinese populations, because it is homophonic with the word for "wealth". SIDE NOTE: My handle used to be "aaron168" and then "chewey168," because the number "168" read out loud in Cantonese is "yut luk baat," which sounds like "yut luk faat," which in fact means "one way road to wealth." |

88 is the beer I think you're talking about. Nope, I Googled 33 beer and this is what I got. beergeek.stores.yahoo.net/33exlabe12vi.htmlMaybe it's improved in the years since 1968. Dad said it didn't even have a label when they had it. Thanks for the tips, Fortune. But no thanks for making me paranoid about parasitic amoebas in my brew. |

When it comes to skunk/nasty beers, after 5 or 6, does the taste even matter at that point?
The worst beer by far is Bud Light. How most of America can drink that watered-down crap has puzzled me forever.

There was a time when I really liked it, but I don't think it's as good as people from Pennsylvania claim that it is. It is a step above Miller Lite, but whether or not it's worth paying the extra dollar for it at the bar is up for debate. |

But that is quite a website you got there. Almost reminds me of that bar in DuPont Circle in DC, Brickseller's, that keeps over 5,000 labels of beer on tap from all over the world. |
