really BAD beers, Mexican and otherwise.
I'll offer a few suggestions to start. In Mexico I'd nominate Sol, Corona and a "lite" beer called Brisas that may or may not still exist. Also
there is or was Mexico's cheapest beer, Victoria, which was still better than Butt Lite and had the advantage of being affordable to the poorest of
the poor. In the early 60's a bottle of Victoria cost 50 centavos, 4 cents USD at the time.
In the US, even though I put down Butt Light, I'd say Pearl from TX is about the worst I've tasted except for their NA version that was worse.
Although in the 70's in CA when I had little cash, there was Lucky Lager which tasted vaguely like soapy dishwater but was amusing for the pictographs
on the inside of the caps. When I was in my teens fighting forest fires out of Missoula, Montana, there was a local beer called Highlander that was
actually green in color. It was on tap at a bar called "The Can-dle" featuring a picture of a toilet on the sign. Inside, there was a trough with
flowing water at the base of the bar so one could puke in place without having to run for the john. |
