    People complain about fecking Bud and what have you but I have never had anything quite as bad as the stuff I had the other day.

    And that stuff does be...

    Cisk Lemon

    Honest to the good lord I only managed to take a few gulps of it before i could no longer fool myself into thinking I was drinking anything other than piss mixed with lemon scented toilet cleaner. Seriously disgusting stuff. I got a few other people to try it and they thought the same.

    I was going to say Heineken, but then I remembered Affligem Blond (which, coincidentally, Heineken now own. Hmmm....)

    Can't drink 'em.

    TBH, they all taste the same after you've had a few.

    The only problems I find are twofold.

    1. Getting Moar.

    2. The Hangover.

    Coors Light. Truly awful.

    I also hated Ola Dubh Special Reserve 12. This was the beer that made me realise that I know nothing about beer, or that everyone else knows nothing about beer, because it's bloody rotten. The problem lies with me in fairness, but my god it was terrible.

    OK, I'm gonna say it.

    Guinness

    Yeah it's nice to drink, but the unpleasant saliva, farts and black poo the next day cancels out the creamy goodness.

    That's entirely (IMO)

    Worst beer out there is Tuborg. Truly horrible stuff.

    I reckon he means that sitting there chin stoking and marvelling on some beer you picked from a menu that costs a few quid more than a pint of Heineken is really not worth it and is the height of pretentiousness.

    Whenever I find myself in one of these places I try to go for a beer whose description most closely resembles a big name beer that I like. I don't like the places. Too many hipsters.

    Not fussed on carlsberg special brew/Tennants super et all. They remind me in a beer you have been drinking all night in a pub, that some smart ass tips a whisky /vodka into when you go to the jacks (insert other spirit) thinking he's cool.

    Vile shıte.

    Not a fan of them either but dont let that get in your way of trying new things. You might have to try 10 or 20 of them before you get something you like but it will be worth it when you do find one.

    There's a real nasty trend on Boards right now, and perhaps in broader society, whereby anyone that expresses a deep interest in something is labelled a hipster. Don't get me wrong, hipsters do exist. You'll know them by their asymmetrical haircuts and emaciated bodies. But please allow people to dig beneath the surface and try something new, whether it's food & drink, music, cinema or whatever. We're not all hipsters. I'm certainly not a hipster. I'm an average guy from the Midlands that looks and sounds like an average guy from the Midlands. I just don't like **** beer. I also live on fcuk all money, so I'd rather spend €6.50 on a beer that tastes nice than waste €4.50 on one that doesn't.

    I bought something called "O Hara's red Ale" (or something similar, definitely O Hara) when I was back in Ireland. I had high hopes, but it was really rank stuff.

    That's actually one of my favourites. :o

    I don't like it out of the bottle though. Love it on draught.

    I see you're in Tokyo. What would you drink over there? Is there any local stuff or is it the normal big names?

    Japanese have some strict brewing laws regarding what consititutes real beer. In Japan beer is taxed on malt content, so there are a huge number of varieties of 'almost beer' called happoshu. They are all pretty vile. Then the same companies also produce real beer, which is inoffensive light lager mainly. These companies are Kirin, Suntory, Sapporu, Ebisu, Asahi. Ebisu would have the best reputation, but there isn't much between them.

    There are smaller breweries which produce a more expensive product, like Taisetsu Ji, Hitachino Nest, YonaYona ale, and one quite good one from Karuizawa, but like most other places, the big companies have the majority of the market.

    here are some happoshu: http://www.beermonsters.ru/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/hap5.jpg

    If you look at the bottom of the cans, you can see the word 'liqueur' in Japanese (リキュール）. So,despite whatever else it might say on the can, it's officially not a beer.

    Yes, exactly this. It's a word that gets thrown around so flippantly in Ireland that it's lost all meaning. Seems if you're at all enthusiastic or have a particular taste in something you're a hipster. It's a bit silly.

    Tried this one particular beer at oxegen about 7 years ago, think it was called "Triple circle" or some such. The only thing I remember is the green/orange/gold can... had one mouthful and almost threw up... hands down the worst stuff I've tasted.

    Also near the top of the list would be Harp.

    Not even nice up North, where it's considered lovely

    Was in a pub in Birmingham several years ago with my brothers and a few extended family members
    All they(seemed to) serve was Carling and some cider. After the first round, I said who's having another. In the first time in several generations, everyone said "No".
    Carling.... so bad it turns you tea-total.
