What is the shittest beer in Australia? (lemmy.world)

I'm generally a fan of pretty shit beer (XXXX is my day-to-day). But even I have my limits.

Back in the day, it was clearly Tooheys Red Bitter, but I think these even Red is getting a run for it's money, e.g. from Byron Bay Premium Lager, which is something like James Boags but with all the soul sucked out through the nostrils. Obviously Foster's fucking sucks too, but I don't think you can even buy their lager in Australia, the only place I ever drank it was on a Singapore airlines flight out of the country, and once in Paris. Though I just realised that "light ice" was theirs too, and my Grandparents somehow always had one bottle of that in their fridge in the 90s, and it was shit too.

Anyway, there's about a million types of beer produced in australia these days, and heaps of them suck, but I want to know if Red has been knocked off it's podium for the worst beer ever.

Red drinkers: fite me.

Yeah, I don't love it either. Has a weird after taste. Someone left a can at my house the other day..

I think Tooheys New is in the same boat for me, but not so much for the taste as that it's weirdly gassy. Like, it makes me burp in an unpleasant way.
