The WORST beers in the world 🍺

Perhaps you’re a fan of Ithaca Beer Company‘s Cascazilla, Cortland Beer Company‘s Firehouse IPA, Salt Point Brewing‘s Saison Rouge or Wagner Valley‘s Sled Dog Dopplebock.

This list is NOT for you! 😂

BeerAdvocate‘s ranking of the World’s Worst Beers is out…and you won’t find any of those on the list…no surprise there…they’re delicious!

It’s a live ranking system (like Ranker.com‘s lists) so the rankings do change a bit from day to day (or even hour by hour)…here’s the current list:

#1. Budweiser Select 55

  • Avg score about 1.6/5
  • Knocked for being extremely watery and “barely beer”

#2. Keystone Ice

  • Avg score: about 1.7 / 5
  • Criticized for harsh, artificial flavor and boozy edge

#3. Natural Light (Natty Light)

  • Avg score: about 1.7–1.8 / 5
  • Famous for being cheap… and described as thin, metallic, and bland

Other bottom feeders include:

  • Miller Extra Light / Miller 64 – ultra-low calorie, almost no taste
  • Beer 30 Light – off-putting smell and aftertaste
  • Milwaukee’s Best Light – harsh, over-carbonated
  • Keystone Light – watery and forgettable
  • Natural Ice – stronger version, worse reputation
  • Bud Light – hugely popular, but not exactly “loved”
  • Michelob Ultra – “fitness beer,” but slammed for no flavor
  • Corona Light – often criticized for weak body/skunky taste

Here’s the twist: Many of these are still top-selling beers in America!

So there really is some truth in “picking your poison”!

Cheers! 🍻
