I tailgated at a Patriots game this year and wanted some cheap beer to swill, spill, and give away to my Busch light friends. I couldn't bring myself to bring something normal so when I was at Trader Joes Market, who carries some pretty good beer at good prices....I saw "Old Timer" and "Name Tag" beer. It was about the same price as the Walgreens beer.
Since Trader Joes usually sells good stuff I decided to give it a shot and pretend to my buddies that I had some special beer that no one has ever heard of. It wasn't all that bad, kinda Old Milwakee-ish but the next morning.......not good. Kind of like a long night of cheap tequila, drugs, and strippers.......but withought the tequila, drugs, or strippers.
Moral of the story....Never buy cheap beer. If you do, at least get a name brand to keep you hydrated in the summer while fishing and mowing the lawn. Otherwise, brew your own or buy some good stuff.
