A couple years ago, I was at a friend’s bachelor party, he was curious to see if there was any difference between taste in the cheap domestic beers in stores. He wanted us all to bring a pack of different ones so we could do a blind taste test and rank them. There was a pretty good diversity represented, from Coors to Bud Light, Keystone, Busch, Pacifico… and then I show up with Steel Reserve 211. I had never tried it before, but I had heard of its reputation for sure, and I knew I had a winner, or loser as the case may have been, in my hands. It was pretty well universally ranked as the worst on everybody’s list, including mine.
But even with that swill, it’s still not the worst tasting beer that I’ve ever had.
