I remember it. The small writing on the side of the can said it was made by Falstaff. The only beer that would give me a headache on the first can. Looking back, what truly was refreshing about this beer was the lack of government warnings on the side of the can.
Worst Cheap Beer in America

Actually, when my wife visits her mom in Texas, I have her bring some back. She says it’s getting harder to find, lol!Lone Star is still around.....If it's cold & free....I'll drink it
Ain’t nothing wrong with PBR, or Budweiser for that fact. Sometimes, a craft beer just ain’t gonna cut the mustard.
You guys are talking about good beers. The ABSOLUTE WORST BEER IN AMERICA is Grain Belt.
I remember my dad buying this crap back in the 1980s haha 
My parents and grandparents drank it by the case since we lived in Omaha where it was brewed by Falstaff. But it wasn't as good as Falstaff which I always thought was better than most domestic beers in the USofA.

Papa Joe Griesedieck was the founder of Falstaff. The entry call in to Midwest bars was often," Gimme a couple Greasy D___!"
"Your father drank it, now it's your turn.", was the description of PBR in the 60 tap bar's beer list.
I had a Red Stripe (Jamaica) once and it was the bitterest, foulest thing to drink.

Yea its still around. I'd rather drink water, than LS tumbleweed water even if its free and cold. In h.s and college I drank it but I was an idiot kid that drank the mat on his 21st birthday so my taste in beer at that age was less than "sophisticated"Lone Star is still around.....If it's cold & free....I'll drink it
Utica Club is pretty nasty. Genesee Cream Ale is different and marginally better, but once you've tasted it both ways, it loses its charm. Both have local following near their breweries. I'm not sure either is cheap anymore, but they used to be.

When the Falstaff in this area was made in St. Louis it was probably the best mass produced beer. At our fraternity house Falstaff on tap from St. Louis was the most requested beer. We put a Budweiser emblem on the tap and the guests raved how good "on tap" Budweiser was.
I don't know if it's made in the US, but sold here....Chihuahua...I think the little dogs must actually "make" it.
Any Mexican beer for that matter is bad.

Hamm‘s, Oly and Rainier use to be great but now they are swill.
I don't think I've had Busch since my freshman year of college when I went to a lot of frat house parties and that was the supplied beer. Pretty sure I've never bought it in a store. When I found my group of friends (not a frat, but just as dumb at the time), the selection of beer became much more varied, but just as cheap. I remember Walmart started carrying these ridiculously cheap 30 packs of Genesee, so that was a thing for a while. Genny Light actually wasn't bad though.
Yeah Red Stripe was a one bottle thing for me too. Not even the whole bottle.
When I think "cheap", I'm thinking the likes of The Beast, Tall Boys, Latte', etc. Like sub $10 case stuff. Maybe I'm just not snobby enough, but I consider Champagne and Diesel pretty mainstream.
The worst I've ever had was Red White and Blue. It was so bad, Miller didn't even bring it over when they bought Heileman.
