Fuller's ESB or Waddies 6X.
It's not fashionable, it's not very hoppy, or strong. You can even buy it in cans.
Marston's pedigree.
(One of the few beers I can still drink without getting a crippling headache)
Carling - the best beer!
Carlsberg..... well, probably 
Budweiser
Banks's Mild.
Pedigree and 6X not rated? Not cool enough for the Fashion Tarts!
In the same vein, Hook Norton OLd Hooky and Everards Tiger.
Grandad Beers for all the family!
I for one welcome the fashion tarts! Even 5 years ago there wasn't nearly the selection of 'proper' beer in most (non-offie) shops. The tiny Co-op near me has Doombar, Whistable Bay, Bengal Lancer, Old Crafty Hen, Golden Hen, Hobgoblin, and 4 or 5 more that I've forgotten. Definitely not complaining!
I've always liked 6X, even before I had a brewery tour. London Pride is my fave tipple though, hoping there's a bottle in the cupboard for this evening. 🙂
Banks' Bitter at 89p at Aldi. If you like a traditional English bitter, it takes some beating at that price!
Marstons IPA ('selected for Morrisons') 5.8%, quite nice.

Banks's Mild.
Yer....ryght.... 😆
I think it depends on how thirsty you are. I'm not a fan of Old Speckled Hen but if I walk to the Rising Sun near me that's what they sell... Tastes like shite but with the view and sunset it's quite sublime. 😐
Greene King IPA Gold. Straight from the fridge, decanted into a glass tankard, natch! Sorry CAMRA 😀
The dark Leffe in Paris this weekend is delicious
American Budweiser, but only of you are in the US. Here it can be a bit week and tasteless but if you are somewhere hot and you are just back from a ride it is perfect

As the thread is titled least rated, well done. 😆
Guinness.
Fosters
Budweiser Budvar
Shepherd Neame MasterBrew
Fosters
Fosters. It's actually made from the urine of dead weasels, (& sometimes live ones) It's so shit that 3 mates of mine took 18 cans to a bothy with the intention of drinking them all but actually left 12 for the next visitors. If I'd called & found Fosters & I'd have tipped it out, squashed the cans to take home & done without.
It's ok though Dave, I knew you were kidding!
Doom bar
By "least rated" do you mean "mainstream non-craft"?
I'll nominate Hobgoblin. It's a solid 7/10 on my scale.
Theakstons XB
ESB is too strong for a big session. Loads of people love London Pride, I can just about tolerate it.
Hobgoblin is horrible, but Hobgoblin Gold is lovely.
My vote goes to Brakspear Oxford Gold.
It's ok though Dave, I knew you were kidding!
Fosters; I grew (am still growing) up on the stuff. Tastes ok to me. It's got to be well chilled though. Budweiser OTOH; had a bottle of it the other week; hadn't drunk it for years; it doesn't taste of anything?!
McEwans Export!mmmm
Landlord is well nice though not sure if it's generally maligned or not
I've lately taken to bottles of Birra Morretti when life leads me to a wetherspoons. If I'm only having one drink then I sadly just don't trust them to have kept the ale properly and the brewery not to have been playing silly buggers with the artisanal flavours, and their lager on tap is shite. I'm not fussy, it just got to the stage where 1 in 3 ales I tried in any pub were [s]rank[/s] not to my taste. Dunno if Morretti's rated over here or not, but I can't recall ever seeing someone else drinking it. It's everywhere in Italy mind, but so is Tennent's Super so what do they know?
Boddies. Cream in a can. Can't beat a 4 pack with a curry. Our local doesn't have a license, so much better than the cobra/kingfisher crap that you have to pay through the nose for at most places.
Doombar for me too.
Hobgoblin gold +1
When I lived in Devizes, the favourite Wadworth tipple was IPA, 6x was for outsiders.
Lech - seen as a pissheads drink ireland and is dirt cheap.
It's a really nice smooth lager - preferable to the big brands (And doesn't give me a hangover).
Stones!
Tennents.
Harveys Best anywhere outside of Sussex (or weirdly Redhill).
Defiantly banks... Sold very cheaply for bottled ale but no worse than most at over twice its price. 3.8% is fine for weekday drinking these days
Tesco, even in Fife, were selling Badger's 'Tanglefoot' ale for several months and I got through rather lots of it this year, a pound a can too.
Heineken, only the Dutch brewed stuff mind, works for me for lager.
Hobgoblin here too, £1.29 in Lidl and sometimes Asda, cannae whack it.
+1 London Pride
Tis my favourite of the supermarket stocked ales.
Staropramen is hard to beat as a low cost option.

POSTED 1 HOUR AGO # REPORT-POST
Just as an aside - Lech is a brand of SAB Miller (InBev global shite).
Coop Czech Lager is just rebadged Staropramen and very good if in a lager mood. 1l for 3 quid at the moment.
Coors Lite . . . and the labels double up as a temp gauge sticker 😛 #whenthemountainsturnblue

I couldnt care less who makes my beer, if it's good, then what's the difference?. It's about what you like the taste of.
ooooooooOOOOOOOOOoooooohhhh!
