The Titanic Awards

Mr Lanski, your supposed travel experts are all anglo celtics. Not one Asian, african, south american or Russian let alone a german is a travel expert. I find this offensive. I have have traveled in more countrys than this people with a lot more connections than this supposed travel writers and I am not white. I am hoping your not color blind or a racist? PlEASE INSURE THE WORLD IS COVERED BY NATIONALITYS AND YOUR WEBSITE IS NOT PURELY ANGLO CENTRIC

Budweiser?

WTF?

That is not the best beer. It might be the best known, but not the best.

Please explain to me why watery piss is considered beer by you yanks?

Canadian beer like Moosehead and Kokani are the way to go.

@Anonymous

Are you trolling or just completely retarded? Did you read the article?

@Anonymous WORST Beer you moron!

Just seems like people being anti american to me, im Canadian in case that matters. I rate bud as good enough. Overpriced maybe (at least here) but come on everyone has had worse beer

Last I checked, Budweiser was owned by a Belgian/Brazilian corporation. Miller and Coors are also not entirely American owned. If you go solely based on beer brewed in America and owned 100% by Americans then I really do believe that America’s beer is the best in the world. But hey, what do I know I’m only a beer judge.

USA, hands down: the Germans call Budwieser “dishwater.” Of course, America also make some of the finest beers (Anchor Steam, for one).

Worst beer in the world? It’d have to be the mass produced American beers. They have some nice smaller brews but Budweiser and the like are just crap!

Worst beer in the world may be mine that I now have fermenting.I will let you know.

Um…any American IPAs. Especially west coast-style dry hopped ones. Beats the hell out of any of that Canadian crap.

Anonymous goes nuts.Got to agree with Hop Head and the Canadian rip.

Worst beer I ever had was Safari Lager in Tanzania.

The beer was so bad that I’d spit it out after one mouthful following a hot day in the jungle.
Imagine a beer so horrible that it can’t even be consumed after a day of tropical heat.

Hahaha i am traveling in Perth, Oz! went out to a place called Swan Valley to visit some of the small brewerys reach one called Ferial. very nice, good food nice beer….apart from one. it was dark thick and tasted like mythical dragon piss! it burnt, my eyes watered and my nose ran! it was filth. with a name like boris and an 11% content i should have guessed!

Is it possible we could start a world’s worst wine list. It is an area I have been exploring for many years. I have tried Indian champagne — a curry after-taste but drinkable. A Moroccan red wine seemed to have the title until I tasted Zimbabwe Blush, a rose which triumphantly carries all before it.
Coming up fast on the outside is a new Thai wine. Sadly Australia’s infamous ‘Fred’s Rough Red’ is no longer available. Thus I will put my money on Blush until I taste something worse. I have been assured there are some American wines well in contention but, not having been there recently, I will look to others for guidance to others.

Anonymous :Budweiser?

Try to read it again but slower.

I haven’t tried beer from every country. net even close but I have to say South Korea has the most god awful shitty tasting beer I’ve ever experienced. I’m Canadian if that matters.

Hey,

There are some fantastic beers from the Northwest. So, not all American beers are watery and tasteless.

American Ale by Budweiser is as good as any. They can make quality or mass market swill, but not in the same bottle.

Many countries make bad beer. And perhaps there are worse beers than Budweiser. However, the quantity of bad beer in the US is probably one of the highest in the world.

@John Jureidini

Thank God! I was wondering when something as innocuous as The Titanic Awards would be declared offensive and racist. After all, it’s rambling, rage-filled, incoherent posts made by people like John that have opened people’s minds and helped to make this a more tolerant world.

If you promise not to tell anyone, I’ll give you one big hint as to why the travelers here are Anglo-Saxon:

…

…

…

(drum roll)

The website is in English!

Oh, and by the way, there is no doubt whatsoever in my mind that the worst beers in the world are:

1) Rock Ice Ginseng, Costa Rica
2) Trappist ‘beers’ of Belgium
3) Any Hefeweizen
4) Any michelada, especially if it’s bottled
5) Any beer with tequila in it
6) Berliner Weisse with green/red Waldmeister
7) Magic Hat – yes, it’s Bohemian, but get over it – it’s bad

As for mass-produced beers like Natural Ice, yes, they are bad, but complaining about them is like complaining about a fast food restaurant. It’s bad, cheap, omnipresent, and for some reason, we (college kids) all drink it.

I kind of enjoy budweiser, probably because i can get 15 of them for 10 bucks. Shitty beer is Milwaukee’s Best, Busch, Natural light/ice, High Life, PBR, etc. America make some great beers, I would drink the shittiest micro brews here before I touch the bongwater that the netherlands bottle and call heineken. try bell’s two hearted ale, hopslam, and oberon or founder’s centennial and dirty bastard before you call american beer shitty.

The worst beer in the world? Coors, any variety. No beer taste, like drinking yellow water. They call it ‘Rocky Mountain Kool-Aid’ in Colorado. The next worse? Busch.

Sam Give me a Heineken Katz

Milwaukee’s Best is sold around the world, just for your information. I also don’t care much for India’s Kingfisher (uneven, but sometimes so sweet as to be liquid beer candy if you can imagine such a thing) or La Beninoise, from the nation of Benin in West Africa (but cheap! after the brewery blew up, they only made their cheapest, nastiest beer).

For worst wine, I would nominate almost any wine from Madagascar. Even the vinegar from one of the wineries was inedible, or undrinkable, or, anyway, tasted so bad as to be unusable.

Now, I may be American and white, but I am not male and I am reasonably well-traveled, especially in countries where my skin color makes me a minority.

And, if I may say so, at least years ago the beer from Niger was amazingly good. Although in Niger, anything cold and wet is probably amazingly good.

Also there are some pretty decent wines from Morocco.

In Guatemala I was drinking Bud as my beer of choice. I hate Bud. Sometime later I remebered why: GALLO [Rooster] has to make the list of the top 10 worst of all time. Runner’s up have to be what Korean Air serves on board [they also have Bud as alternative]

@Alan
Hola Alan $3Deweys? Portland?

It’s Bill from long ago.

Drop me a line. I’ve been in Mexico for the past 15 years

I’m not American but it’s unfair to rate the country badly because of Bud and a few other mass market cr@p beers. Most of the ‘real’ ale you can find in California and New England is excellent.And who are the 4.1% of taste-free idiots voting Britain? Clearly you’ve never tasted the broad range of top class real ales made here or are just downright prejudiced.

@OPINION
moosehead and kokani are the closest thing to piss as you can get…

As for taste I hear a lot of good things about the micro-brewing revolution in the States and lots of other places – Good beer to me is usually local. Down here in Wellington, NZ we’ve got a brewery in Reikorangi called “Tuatara” (after the local lizard) that makes a fine bunch of ales esp the Ardennes Belgian style one – Mmm-hmm.

Now when you want to talk about bad beer – I was once fairly down on my luck and wanting to cheaply drown my sorrows.
I purchased a dozen of a beer by the name of “Burmeister” that was so bad that I couldn’t finish the first can. It sat around for a while ’til a friend had a party and I took the other eleven to give away free beer and generally share the love.
I helped my mate the next day clearing up and found can after can of Burmeisters nearly full, but opened.
Lots of people had tried it, none had finished it.
Burmeister – complete shite.

Thanks to all that American piss they call beer, I grew into a young adult hating the stuff. Yes, my college days were sober ! Finally, when I was 20 I travelled to Europe and learned what it should really taste like.

#32 sober-college-self-righteous-person: you had to travel to Europe to learn to enjoy beer? what pretentious bullshit. I wish that I could meet you in person so that I could kick you in the balls. sorry, but you sound particularly lame. yes, Budweiser is shit, but let’s get serious… it’s no different from plenty of pisswater beer in Mexico, Brazil, Venezuela, Chile, the UK, Russia, China, Italy or beyond (actually, it might all be the same crappy beer made in the same crappy brewery). I’ll take this vote as a mix of anti-Americanism and “I once traveled abroad and liked Euro beer” trying-to-be-cooler-than-you-actually-are boringness.
C’mon. Have you ever had a South American dark beer? FUCKING TERRIBLE.
Have you ever tried a Michelob AmberBock (mass market fake ass microbrew)? At least Bud is what it is and ain’t trying to pretend like it’s something decent…

The way the beer is handled, bottled, dispensed and stored is more important than the country of origin. The Russian beers I have tried (in addition to Heinekin) have been really skunky – all beer bottles should be brown

This is the stupidest shit I have ever seen in my life. The number one selling beer in the world is the worst beer somehow? The United States has some great beers. IF anything the Asians can make beer to save themselves.

@Curt Morgan
anchor steam is shit
