Colt 45, the nastiest beer alive,

Bud Light.

I mean, what's the point of this beer, really? It tastes horrible and there's so little alcohol in it, you need a case or two to get anywhere near a buzz. The worst of both worlds. Just give me a Captain Coke or two, please - or Bailey's on the rocks.

Aww, I'd rank Keystone (Light) as one of the better cheap beers!

I never understand why people think Bud Light has little alcohol in it. It's the same as relatively any other domestic light beer, 4.2% ABV.
For those keeping track, Guinness is 0.1% more in ABV.

Sportz Beer, or Lone Star (even though I drink it like water)

And that's funny about Schaeffer, my ex's dad drank that, and I could never turn it down when he offered, but I struggled through it.

Way back when in Vietnam War -- Carling Black Label.

Nowadays -- virtually all American non-premium beers such as Budweiser just as much as Bud Lite. Busch Bavarian and Old Milwaukee as well.

It's funny, I never tried Carling Black Label. But during the 16 years of my adult life that I didn't drink, Carling was my favorite non-alcoholic beer. Anyone tried both? Are they similar?

Here in PDX all the hipsters think its cool to drink PBR (Pabst Blue Ribbon) it is nasty. In college we drank 8-BALL (OLD ENGLISH 800 ). But now in my late 30s I now more refined tastes... Coors Light !!!!

Lucky Lager

Heileman's Old Style

Stag.
Milwaulkee's Best.
The plain yellow or plain white can with the word "BEER" on it.

In high school, in Atlanta, we drank all the classics:
1) The Beast (Milwaukee's Best)
2) Nady Light, surpassed by Nady Ice (The fun family of Natural Light and Ice)
3) Johnny Three Legs, a local favorite that I believe is out of production (the can had a picture of a chicken with three "legs" and the story of said legs - don't ask)

Nothing, though, is worse then that damn Mickey's with the little green bottle.

PBR or Milwaukee's Beast.

I love Heileman's Old Style!!! When my friends and I go to Wrigley to attend a Cubs game we let the Miller and Bud salesmen walk on by. The Old Style salesmen, however, are very quickly informed that they will do well to just return to see us should they want to sell out their tray. :D

The key to Old Style, like so many cheap beers, is not to let it get cold.

Back OT, the worst cheap beer is Miller High Life. Yes, Miller High Life is the correct answer to the question posed by this thread. Didn't y'all know that?

PS - Oh, and, Lone Star definitely does not belong in this thread!

Any Miller product...

Old E was definitely some nasty stuff. You could taste the charcoal filtering in every gulp. (Imagine pouring a cheap beer through a bag of Kingsford charcoal...you get the idea).
My nomination comes from my high school years. Malt Duck. It came in different flavors, (I clearly recall apple). Super sweet malt liquour. Nasty, nasty stuff. But it got you seriously zooted. (Late 70's term).

For those special times when the ladies were present, we would crack open some bottle of Champale. Once again, super sweet...

And if it was a really good nite, Riunite or Canei was purchased.

Just the thinking of the brain cells that I destroyed consuming this swill makes me want to hurl...

For those in the NY area may recall the Piels brand especially Piels Light. A cheap beer favored by my college buddies back in the 80's. The worst part probably was not the taste of the beer but rather the air quality for those around you shortly after consuming the beer.
