for me, it was this vile shit called dow. fuck it was baaaaad! stay the fuck away from it, and if anybody offers you one, consider that person your enemy for life. Oh God! Dow! Years ago we ended up with a 24 of Dow, we couldn't give the stuff away. We took it to every party and left it out for anybody to help themselves...no takers. But! That isn't the worst beer I ever came across. In China, beer is very popular, but they had only one national brand (Tsingtao), and that wasn't widely available. Every town and city brewed its own beer. Every town's beer is different. It was in Xian that I encountered the single most revolting swill ever to be passed off as beer. It wasn't "undrinkable" meaning very unpleasant, it was literally gag-inducingly undrinkable. I nearly vomited when I took my first sip. It had a horrible petroleumish chemical taste to it. Sadly, we went to bed sober that night. Another China-based beer disaster. In Turfan, we stopped at a hotel for lunch, and I ordered a quart of beer to drink. Now, Turfan, is in the desert, and we'd been out and about in the sun all morning, so I was parched. They bring the bottle, and crack off the top. It was so tempting, it even had that little whisp of CO2 you can sometimes see rising out of the bottle. If my mouth hadn't been so dry, I would have been drooling. The waiter poured it into my glass, I reached for the glass and yanked my hand back. It was HOT!! That wasn't CO2 whisping out of the bottle, it was steam. They stored their beer outside in the desert sun!! I was so disappointed I nearly cried.
