Newcastle Brown Ale - one swig of that swill almost ended my love of dark beer.
You deserve to burn in the bowels of hell for eternity for uttering such heresy; Dog is the KING of bottled beer....it has to be chilled so that the star on the bottle turns blue and MUST be poured into a traditional half-pint glass and continuously topped up not allowing the glass to empty.
I'm not a great lover of Real and Craft Ale's, far too warm and some of it literally tastes as if it had been used to wash Gandhi's feet.
I'm not familiar with many of the American brands mentioned but I'm no great lover of Bud either.
Marstons Bitter is particularly disgusting but pride of place has to be Stones Bitter.....simply undrinkable.
My personal favourites were Tetleys Imperial, McEwans 80 Bob and the beer I was weaned on Magnet Bitter.
Unfortunately its almost impossible to find Tetley's and McEwans nowadays and Magnet is not the same since its brewing operation moved away from Tadcaster and it varies so much from pub tp pub.

Was Billy Beer even real?
I always wondered if it was just a gimmick. I mean, people couldn't really actually intentionally make something that horrible, could they???
First time (and last) I ever had it a friend of mine poured me a glass of it in his kitchen where I couldn't see him. After I got done retching I asked him what he'd given me. He told me, laughing.
Terrible horrible bastard!

Too many to name.
I'm not a big drinker but I live in Wisconsin so beer is everywhere.
I really don't like any of the orange ones, there was one that literally tasted like rotten orange peels and
stale beer (probably because that is exactly what it was!)
Some of the microbrews here try to be fancy schmancy and do some really bizarre things with beer.
Most of the times it is just not good.

I should add to that any Guiness made in Canada.
