Favorite cheap beers?

[Schmoe]

I remember in college, we'd drink Red,White and Blue beer. I can't even begin to describe just how bad this stuff was. You'd literally would pinch your nose to drink the first couple of them. Just terrible. Surprised I didn't jump over to whiskey back then, but I can't handle that stuff, it makes me see dead people..................................

 

[Cogito]

Agree about Milwaukee's Best. Should be called Milwaukee's Barf. Buckhorn is awful. I can get Miller High Life or Special Export 30-packs for $12 if I want a budget brew.

Miller is South African owned, so Anheuser Bush is more in favor with me.



Oh yes, I'm very aware that Miller is owned by SAB. But the way I see it is at least I'm supporting people working at the brewery in Milwaukee. Out of every 100 cases of beer I buy, probably 2 are Miller. The rest are micros. But when I do drink macros, its Wisconsin Made all the way!


I'm live in WI and I won't touch it's beer with a ten feet pole. I usualy buy a new brand to try everytime I go, but preffer European beers, especially good are polish beer(can't remeber the name now) and New Castle(gives you buzz, but expensive).

Natty light

There's cheap beer out there!?!

I'm not a heavy drinker so I don't buy beer often, but the cheapest one I've bought so far is Yuengling. Tastes weak to me. Like it better than Heineken though. I don't think I like PBR either.

I prefer Sam Adam's. Have to try Guinness sometime.

 

[97f150]

Bud Light, Miller Light, Natural Light in that order. My preference is Guiness and almost any othr import though.

Yuengling is a good bear for the price, too bad we can't BUY it north of New York. Last time I was in Long Island I stocked up. The real irony is that they sell it in Piggely Wiggelys in Florida. all you can carry. I heard they bought a big plant in Tenn. Hope some of that works it's way north.

I stick with microbrews, which usually only takes less than a six pack to get there. And it also tastes better. And makes for less of a hangover. Macrobrew is so 1980's. Start supporting local business and drink microbrew! It's our patriotic duty!
Drinking to get drunk is pretty 80s.

No cheap beer for me. I only drink Creemore Springs beers.

High Life FTW!!!

 

[MarkStock]

On a recent overseas trip I had Carlsberg on tap for the first time in a long time and it was really good

Out of the us beers I don't mind miller and michelob in terms of the major names

I don't find a huge price difference between getting a quality beer and a big name brand though

 

[sleepery]

Recently picked up a 12 pack of Harpoon IPA's for $10.99 . Pretty good and not expensive .

Yep. Here in TN, $16.99 for a 24 pack is one of the cheapest deals there is without hitting absolute bottom-barrel of quality (looking at you Natural Light). That comes out to $4.25/6pack, a great deal in these parts.

 

[XENON12003]

Here in MS, $3.99 for a 6 pack of 16 oz cans of COORS.

That's what I'm sayin! They recently did the annual price hike here and a six back of Beast Ice is 6 bucks now. A 6 pack of regular beer (Coors, Bud, Miller etc.) is 8 bucks. It's almost doubled in price over the last decade.

Down South, yes.

The local "package store" has 4 packs of 16 oz cans for $3-$4 for Busch products, Miller products, and other cheap domestic stuff. 6 packs of 12 oz cans are about the same in many places too.

AL is devoid of 40s though...not good for the community. I don't think that plan is working out, but oh well. In NC a 40 would typically run $1.79-$1.99. Not too bad for 3 1/3 beers.

If I'm drinking beer it's Natural Light. That is my cheap/expensive/only beer I drink.

 

[Brule]

Aldi sells a beer called Wernesgruner. At $5.99 it's the cheapest Purity Law beer I've come across. And for a pilsner beer it is very good. But something like Spaten Optimator is more my taste.

 

[DrinkDuff77]

I agree, Aldi's Wernesgruner is very good.
