A Controversial Question: What is the best crappy beer?

[GonZolaB]

Blatz, anyone?

 

[normonster]

Old English 800, that's my brand.....drink it in a bottle, 40, quart or a can.

Drink it like a mad man, yes I do...F%^& the police and a 502.



Seriously though...of the biggies....Tecate.

 

[GonZolaB]

Country Club for your 40 ouncers

Miller high life all the way. Great for drinking games. I think I just got too sick too many times drinking PBR, bud light, rolling rock, natty ice...

 

[RainyDay]

Rainier, then PBR. Truth be told, while they are consumed infrequently (camping, gigs, et al), I'm never disappointed...

I 100% agree. I would enjoy it more if it was properly labeled. Lol. I sound so snobbish but it is a pet peeve of mine when American wheats get called hefeweizen or are called Belgian.

The label does say Belgian-style wheat ale. That's accurate. Belgian style.

I think brewers call their wheats hefe or wit or Belgian want to avoid people assuming it's a hop forward, gross American wheat.

My peeve is when people complain about how the Germans don't put an orange slice in their wheat beers. Um, blue moon is an American white/wheat, and for some reason the orange makes it perfect.

The only thing Belgian about it is the coriander and orange peels. Any beer lover worth his salt knows the trick to making a Belgian style beer is Belgian yeasts. A spiced winter warmer would no more be a Belgian dark strong style then blue moon is a Belgian style wheat. It is just an American wheat beer with orange peels. I would think that if you submitted a blue moon for judging under bjcp criteria it would do far better as an American wheat than a Belgian anything. /end rant

Rolling Rock used to be good but it changed. PBR all the way.

I used to regularly drink RR at my local dive bar. One day I walked in and got a bottle and quickly scrunched my face and said WTF??? I looked at the label and it had changed from Rolling Rock brewing co. Latrobe, PA to St. Louis, MO. Guess who.

That was around early 2000s or so. Don't remember exactly. I knew that Rolling Rock was going to be bought out by Anheiser-Busch but didn't expect it so quickly

The most shocking part is that I could immediately taste the difference. I guess the glass lined tanks of old Latrobe made a difference.

ON TOPIC: Miller Lite, Labatt's, Moosehead

I just skip beer if macros are all that's available. I didn't drink beer during my early years, so never developed a taste for the cheap and flavorless stuff.

Wow! I remember Carlings Black Label from way back, from when I was a kid and teenager. ( 60's & 70's ).

Didn't know they still made it. I haven't seen it here in Mich. for years.

Back in to 80s we'd scrape our change together and get a case of this. It was something like $4.50 a case. Ahh, the hangovers.

 

[Skeptidelphian]

Yuengling or Narragansett.

 

[Skeptidelphian]

Ortliebs!

Oh, oops the brewery closed up years ago.... But the name lives on as a bar in the original Philly neighborhood it seems.



This was our official beer back in the 70's. It was cheap, really cheap! Don't recall what it tasted like though! Must have been good cause we drank a lot of it.

The WET beer!

 

[KendallAdkins]

Changed my mind. Busch is way better than PBR.

 

[secondbase]

Narragansett. But I'd probably just drink whiskey instead.

Every time I drink high life I feel like I should drive a car with t tops, have a pack of Marlboro reds rolled up in my white t shirts sleeve and beat my wife.... I mean I'm just sayin
