Favorite Cheap-o Beer/Lager

[DeathDynamics]

Mine is Killian's. Not the best, but preferable to Bud, Coors, etc. Normally, I prefer vodka... but for a quick buzz, I don't mind picking up a sub-$5 6-pack with which to end a long day.

Anyone else tossing 6-packs from Wal-Mart in their cart?

There's no room in life for cheap beer.

Cheap reds can be OK.

 

[sprintman]

Cheap reds are usually shockers Shannow in my experience. Kozel Velkopopovicky is excellent and ckeap at **3.45 for a largish 500ml bottle

 

[Shannow]

sprintman,
we've got some pretty good $5.95 cleanskins available here.

Certainly not Henshcke "Hill of Grace", but nearly $100 cheaper.

On the cheap, I like Miller High Life.

 

[Matt_S]

I'm actually a Coors Light fan myself. It's nice and light and has just enough of a bite to keep me interested. Bud and Miller beers tend to be too boring for my taste, but I'll drink them if that's what's available. When I'm at a restaurant, I normally order Sam Adams if they have it on tap.

JW Dundee Honey Brown is about as cheap as I can stand; Killians Red if desperate.

 

[eljefino]

Nothing is too cheap, but I try to stay away from keystone, milwaukee's best, and most "light ice" junk as I can do better for the price. (Similar to my valvoline avoidance.

)

I'll dring Genessee, Red Dog, Pabst Blue Ribbon, Shaeffer's, Olde English 800 from the 40 oz... not proud.

Bacardi Limon rum really perks up lousy beer BTW.

Local grocery has 'Veltins Pilsener', $3.99 for a six pack, not bad at all,
otherwise, JW Dundee, Fosters or Labatts when it is on sale.

 

[rshaw125]

I second Miller High Life. Especially when its $9.99 a case on sale. Cover it with ice in a cooler for an hour or two.

Hey, Mabel......Black Label.

 

[Mustang_Cougar]

Kokanee.

 

[97f150]

On the cheap, mostly Bud Ice. Also Rolling Rock, Killians, Dos Equis, and Corona.

 

[pastmaster]

OLD STYLE, HAMM'S or FALSTAFF, GOEBEL'S in the Midwest.

RANIER or KOKANEE, LABATT'S & MOLSON'S, in the Pacific NW.

FREE and COLD, always has precedence!

Shiner Bock

 

[PRND3L]

Natural Ice baby! 5.9% alc./vol. and $5.49 per twelve pack rules the cheap beer roost IMO.

And, cheap means it must be as cold as it possibly can be:

It's the only time the stuff tasted any good. The best beer joints had schooners stored in an undercounter deep freeze, and the kegs in a walk-in refrigerator/freezer.

Then, you could even drink Budweiser all evening after a hot day . . . ANGELO'S BARBECUE in Fort Worth was such a spot during the Cold War, just a few minutes away from the SAC base. Sawdust on the floors, beer served as described, and simply outstanding barbecue.
