At Comet Cafe in Milwaukee they serve the Mad Cow--Spotted Cow and Guinness. SO TASTY.

Fuck Sam Adams. I have never once tried a Sam Adams beer that I enjoy.


They're always pushing the Boston Lager, which is totally average, but I remember liking the Boston Ale quite a bit. That was the only Sam Adams brand beer I cared for.

I always really hated Budweiser, too. Even when I drank very heavily, two Budweisers could give me a headache. Not sure why--Bud Light did not have the same effect on me, and I was fond of strong beer, from Guinness and Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout to Colt 45 or even Schlitz Malt Liquor.

I never liked Molson Golden either.

Cheap bears I hated (I use the past tense because I quite drinking almost 13 years ago):

Black Label
Iron City
Old German
Red, White, and Blue
Sterling

I'm sure there are others I'm forgetting.

Hamms and Schaefer, as I recall, weren't so much bad as they were so weak that it was impossible to get drunk. I clearly remember drinking 30 Schaefers once and thinking, "What the fuck? I'm not even drunk yet."

But the all-time worst beer I've ever had is Blatz Light, my dad's preferred brand in the twilight years of his alcoholism. He prided himself on how reviled it was--because nobody ever bummed beers off of him. "I'll drink what I bring" was his credo.

I came home totally wasted one time in high school and apparently cracked open one of Dad's Blatz Lights. I got yelled at the next morning at breakfast--not for being drunk but for having the audacity to open a beer, take one sip, and replace it in the fridge. How could I waste a precious Blatz Light.

They stopped making Blatz Light sometime in the nineties. I'm sure my father was singlehandedly keeping them in business by that point.

I dislike Sweetwater 420 and Genny Cream Ale.

Are you from Atlanta or does Sweetwater get distributed outside of Georgia?

Heineken is pretty bad, you're right. Even a lot of Dutch people contend that it's all marketing that has made it such a big player on the international market.

In terms of German beers, I have made a conclusion that surprises many people: The Bavarian style of helles (meaning "light", as in "blonde", not like "Miller Lite") gives me terrible fucking headaches, even while I'm drinking.

Doesn't matter too much what brand: Augustiner, Eichhofener, Kneitinger, etc., etc.

All of them taste pretty good. But if you get a headache after two or three beers, in my book, that's a dislikable beer.

BTW, I've had similar experiences with Bell's Amber Ale.
