Worst Lager

[Gully]

Carlsberg is horrible, as is Miller - not seen so much anymore. Smelt of fish.

Perhaps they used isinglass, a fish product, in the bottling process and someone misjudged the quantity needed!

Is it still possible to buy Skol? You have to try really hard to come up with something even worse than Fosters but that one managed it.

Apparently!

You've obviously been in my local then, I have to stick to Erdinger from the bottle when i go in.

Good choice Can only really be beaten by Erdinger on tap

Budweiser, if something made from RICE can be called a lager to begin with.

I'm drinking Chang fron Thailand right now - it's strong, but like most lagers, gassy and not very pleasant. Had an organic lager from a Horsham brewery last week though, which was head and shoulders above most of the other fizzy crap, if a bit pricey.

oranjeboom on tap gives me the shits

VB........with so many fine Australian beers on the market I constantly struggle to understand why so many Australians waste their time with this kack!?

Never was much of a lager drinker, but pretty much anything brewed by the Dutch, to have the Germans and Belgians as neighbours and still manage to produce bilge-water beer is pretty poor in my opinion.

You haven't been here in a while have you? The Dutch brewing scene is one of the most vibrant on the continent at the moment. The number of breweries is currently around 120, double what it was a decade ago. (And very near to overtaking Belgium...)

In terms of the big name lager producers it is true they are all pretty bland, but the same can be said of any country. Besides, if you're limiting your sights to lager, then the Belgian stuff is far worse than the Dutch. And always has been. Stella? Maes? Jupiler? No thanks...

If you're going to drink lager that isn't German or Czech, it's a minefield wherever you go.

You are right there, I last left the Netherlands around eight years ago and I wasn't aware of the rise of the micro-brewery scene. The only thing I would say in its favour was that the brewery near where I lived, Ridder in Maastricht, brewed a really good white beer called Wiekse Witte...it was a bit like Hoegaarden and very, very drinkable.

Oranjeboom is f***ing awful, taste, smell....It should be called Orankebum.

It's owned by AB InBev. What else did you expect?

Carling and Fosters = Rancid

 

[Steveapps71]

as im from Bognor we used to bunk into Butlins regularly as a youth....they used to serve thier own Butlins lager...it was cheap so we drank it at the time but it was awful..
20 years on i have never tasted anything as bad

They're virtually all tasteless crap. I don't understand why anyone would drink mass produced poor quality foreign products when there's so much great English beer around which is also cheaper.

Having said that, the pint of Pilsner Urquell I had at the brewery in Plzen was one of the best pints I've ever had. But that's because it was fresh, unpastuerised, unfiltered proper lager
