Everybody's going to need one of these come Christmas! Click to see more the UNOB beer gifts HQ.

I'm sorry, but Mountain Crest (aka Mountain Piss) is the worst beer I have ever had to drink in my entire life. It was, sadly the first beer I ever purchased due to its unbelievably low price.

Unfortunately, I was stuck with 30 beers that even my friends (destitute college students) refused to drink. I pounded back six in a row on a Friday and almost puked my guts up.

The reason Mountain Crest is so cheap is because it is owned by Calgarian Entrepreneurs who brew it in the United States to save money, then import it to Canada and sell it as a cheap alternative to good beer. Their slogan "Damn Good Beer" is a legal form of libel as far as I'm concerned.

The only way to drink this abomination is through large, desperate chugs that make you wanna crawl under your bed and die. We had begun to call it deer piss because I swear to god it tasted like it (It didn't smell like it though...). But this does!

(Editor's note: Meh, I'm not going to go there...)

If your ultimate goal is to get drunk then drink a bottle of malt liquor; it tastes a little worse, but at least you won't have to drink as much.

For a few dollars more invest in Pilsener, Kokanee, Molson Canadian, Labatt Blue, Miller... even the sacrilegious Budweiser is better than this Mountain Piss, I mean Mountain Crest.

If all else fails and you have six in your fridge, use them to dare your buddy to do something stupid and get him to shotgun them, then laugh as he coughs on the awful taste of Mountain Crest.

Bottom Line: Try it once, because you will NEVER buy it again. That's not a threat, it's a promise.

Canada Is America

First, I don't see any problem in their geographical claim. In addition to it being literally true, craft breweries in Wisconsin produce a lot of flavorful beers, on a par with good Canadian beers. That's very different than the brands that have an historic name but are brewed by Miller under contract.
Second, the taste of Mountain Crest is not my favorite, but neither is Miller, Coors or Bud. If that's the market for this brand, then the taste is comparable and the price better.
Third, try some of the brewery's other brands if you like a more flavorful beer. Huber Bock is one of the finest beers around. Berghoff has won awards.

That is one of the worst beers i've ever tasted. the after taste is like i've eaten something rotten and on one occasion almost made me sick. No wonder it's so cheap.

Mountain Crest is the first beer you've ever bought? Wow. No wonder you don't appreciate it, you must still be in that "all I can drink is Blue Moon" phase.

Frankly Mountain Crest is on par with miller and coors and pabst and crap--and it is WAY cheaper. I mean, the stuff is cheaper than water.

Blech!

I was at a bar last night and this beer was listed as the specially-priced "Monthly Embarrassment". Curiosity got the best of me and I tried it. Its flavor was like that of a slightly skunky, watered-down can of Pabst Blue Ribbon. Not as bad as, say, Milwaukee's Best, but pretty low on the totem pole. Also, I doubt that the brewery employs a brew master as the can claims.

Best beer I have ever had
by: Anonymous

This is the best beer I have ever had. I searched online to see what other people think of it. Must be in the tast buds. This is really smooth and tastes great. If it is the first beer you have ever bought, I hardly think you would be an expert to turn to.
