'Murica!
So head out to the store, grab you a case of Busch light, and blow some **** up!
What is your favorite cheap beer?
How many of these have you had?
yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, no, no, yes, yes, no
yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, no, no, no, yes
yes, no, yes, no, yes, no, yes, yes, no, yes, no, no
As far as CHEAP beer goes, I'll take Genesee. $12/30pk case here in town.

Natty Ice because it's 6% or Busch because it's so sweet from all of the corn and rice.

I don't see Meister Brau nor Meister Brau Light.

Aha! NOW I understand the real reason behind your multiple toe surgery.

 

[hondo]

Bud Light Lime here ... apologetically.

Three tall boys of Steel Reserve. Less than five bucks where I live. The foulest concoction I know of, but after the first can you won't care.

Even mass market swill nowadays is almost as expensive as the craft or pseudo-craft brews. I can get a sixer of Coors for $7.99 or a sixer of Leinie's for $8.99. Easy choice.

Not beer (sorry), but I saw cases of Zima at Kroger the other day. Instant flashbacks to college circa 1994. Everyone tried that stuff at first, then it was the cool thing to say you didn't drink it -- though you'd quietly use it as a mixer.

I've had 25 of those.
Stunned Hamms is not on the list. It's making a comeback with 6-pack tall boys.
BL Lime is go-to cheap beer. Or Busch Light, which I drank in college and for many years later.

Zima is a beer. It's manipulated and flavored to look and taste otherwise.

Are they bringing back the ads? Please say yes.

They have 30 packs of Hamms at my local store here for $14.

Swear by Narragansett. Is Grain Belt available at all outside Minny?

 

[Evil ... Thy name is Orville Redenbacher!!]

We go to an annual 4th of July church picnic in my parents hometown in rural Pennsyltucky.
This picnic had been on-going since WWII and they have a beer stand (God Love Catholics!).
It is the creme de la creme of cheap/****ty beers.
No Bud. No Bud Light.
Genesee Cream Ale. Natty Light (No Pennsyltucky shindig is complete with it). Coors Light. Strohs or MGD and Yuengling (No light!) for the fancy townies.
All cans.

So true. I used to drink Killian's Red Ale (from Coors) because it was easily available and I tend to like red and brown ales. I saw it tonight at Publix for $8.99, Screw that, I can get all kinds of craft beers for that or a buck more.

Yuengling is my go to cheap beer.

 

[cjericho]

On that list never had National Bohemeian, Game Day, Simpler Times, Name Tag, Medalla, Olympia, Lone Star, Rainier, Utica or Grain Belt. Had all others.

 

[Cosmo]

Just had a Gansett tonight. Cold, crisp, perfect swill.

 

[Shropshire Slasher]

Yuengling is sold everywhere except where I live, apparently. Tried some on a trip to Tennessee a few years ago and thought it was OK.

 

[micropolitan guy]

Genny Cream, Utica Club and Stroh's. Staples of every WNY kid in the 1970s. Drank a lot of National Bo in college.

 

[cjericho]

Wasn't Strohs the first to go to 30 packs?
