I like this very much. I also like Theakstons Old Perculier and Directors. All of which are probably for nostalgic reasons. I'm gunna love you just a little more.

But one of the three beers to give me an unforgettably awful hangover.

OK, it was a home leaving party and what didn't get consumed got thrown away so we all had too much Landlord...

Old Peculier and Newcastle Brown were the other two.

Guinness and champagne give me the really bad ones, with the former I feel as if it clogs up my sweat glands for days after.

Ah, champagne. In France it is common to have an after work apéro for birthdays etc. The stuff is dangerous for me, as it puts me in the mood to party all night.

The worst beer for hangovers is Chang. From memory it is 6.4% and, scandalously full of formaldehyde.

A few Swiss friends of mine say the same thing about Kronenbourg (basic red & white, not 1664).

I'd add Turbinenbrau Sprint and Old Speckled Hen as my extra headache inducing beers.

shoutin': lager lager lager lager lager lager lager...

so for me the only beer that comes close to a good lager is HÜRLIMANN.
all other stuff is to light, watery and the worst bit TOO SWEET!

a nightmare for me is APPENZELLER! it gives me headaches while drinking it and its the only beer ever i have to throw up from...i wont say its a bad beer, but i think its something in it that im allergic about.

I can't believe that nobody mentioned these two beers in this thread. Where are the Basle people?

Ueli Bier

Unser Bier

I don't drink, but all my friends like them.........

Prob cuz they add corn syrup.
