If you were to describe the worst beer you ever tasted, what would it be and what did it taste like? Sorry if this was posted before, I'm new to the group.
For me, I would have to say it was Harley Davidson Heavy Beer. The best way I could describe it would be if you mixed skunk piss with a few drops of motor oil filtered through a Harley Davidson and added a dose of rhino vomit.
Second would be Billy Beer, I think I still have a can of it in the attic.
I presume it was a Milwaukee beer since that's where Harley was located.
Billy Beer makes everyone's list. IIRC it was made by Pittsburgh Brewing which at the time was a contract brewer. It must have been a great idea because the production run sold out immediately. But, the beer was terrible.
Besides Billy Beer, Pfieffer's and Jax make my list. But as someone pointed out Jax had shut down 5 years before I had my only and only taste of it.
Coors Light makes the top of my list of beers that have no distinctive flavor and have no body.
The title 'Worlds Worst Beer' has a big contender in any Badger Beer. It is brewed @ Blandford Forum in Dorset, UK. And it tastes like badger piss. When stationed @ Blandford with the Royal Signals I helped to run the Sgts Mess bar and tried to get rid of a barrel of the stuff by lowering the price to nearly nothing and still had no takers. In the end we offered a reward for anyone who would drink it and we only had one taker.
Michelobe Ultra tastes like old, warm water, no matter how cold it is when you drink it.

Billy Beer was contract brewed by a number of breweries...I had the General Brewing version back in the day and yes, it was a mess.
Yes, even before I read the rest of this thread, my answer was "Billy." It managed to taste worse with every sip.

WOW! Thats bad beer!
It has always been my experience that the worst English beer was a giant step up from American Swill. I met some blokes in a pub in Durham who promised me they'd get me back to my hotel room when we finished drinking - They made good on that promise twice.
Per them, the English equivalent of American Swill was Moron's Brew (aka Geordie Brew aka Newky Brown). To me it was head and shoulders above American Swill!
My experience is that, in England and Scotland, a Pub Crawl is where you walk into an independent pub (not a tied pub), you bet on FIFA games or Cricket matches (of which you are completely ignorant) and you crawl out. Fortunately my genes are from alcohol-tolerant ancestors and the most I need is to be pointed in the right direction.
But when I was in Buenos Aires (a beautiful city absent of a beer cuisine), I found I needed directions plus and Espanol cheat sheet.

I;ve enjoyed many a good pub crawl, and being an army man I learnt that before starting you always put those silly pads that skateboarders use to protect their knees and elbows. Also armoured gauntlets are useful for when you have to crawl into a pub as it stops the syndrom of 'broken fingers' when some idiot does not check where they are stepping and just walk around the pub without a care in the world for the poor sap on his 18th pint trying to find a) the toilet b) the way to the next pub
