Best cheap commercial beer you've ever had?

Vitamin "R"... The one and only Rainier Beer, may it rest in peace.

Around me it's often hard to find beer for under 1$/bottle. Oddly enough, many of the beers by Oscar Blus go for about 7/sixer. So given the choice between bud light for 6, or Dale's Pale Ale for 7, I'll definitely go for Dale's

PBR...about the Genny. When I lived in the Adirondacks we used to drink them and they would kill my stomach. I always got the Genny screamers. Not a bad taste they just did something to me.

Good morning!

That's an excellent question. I am not a huge fan of the beer, but for $4 a bomber for Magic Hat #9, it's a very good value. Lagunitas Hop Stoopid is probably the cheapest (and the best) Double IPA I have come across; I think it's about $5 a bottle.

If we want to go really cheap, I would go with a Yuengling - I think their beers are very affordable and while not particularly exciting, they are very solid. A PBR every once in a while is also great.

Yeah cream ale is notorious for... well let's just say, cleaning you out the next day. Doesn't bother me though.

Rolling rock is another good one, I don't remember it being all that cheap when I used to drink it a bunch but I rcently picked up a 30 pack for 17.99.

PBR and, y'know, when you're actually AT the brewery and tasting it when it's as fresh as it's ever going to be, Miller is pretty good. It's actually surprisingly bready and totally different from what you get in a can or at a corner tap.

OT: I had this experience at Carlsberg. That damn lager tasted amazing.

I always went with the 12 horse and paid for it .

Killian's red is priced about the same as the BMC's and is pretty good for the money. We don't get it here in WI, but I really like Yuengling's Black & Tan.

I am down with PBR, its in my beer fridge. I also like Original Coors and Stag, its a Southern Illinois thing.

 

[prrriiide]

AFA price vs. drinkability: Yeungling has it all - their Light Lager is light years ahead of Bud Light. Their Lager is light years ahead of Bud. Its cheap, and there are choices like porter and Black & Tan to choose from. IMO, Yeungling is the great American Lager, not Bud.

 

[aerialmedical]

Anyone ever had Goldmine Lager? Sprouts is selling a 12er for $5.99 right now...hmm...

 

[Diver165]

Yuengling is the go to beer in a pinch. I always have it on hand. I love the Gaelic Ale from Highlands Brewing, it's cheap and tasty as hell. Also Sierra Nevada Pale Ale rocks and almost always have it on hand as well

 

[jbsg02]

I don't personally think of it as a cheap commercial beer, it's definitely a commercial beer, but I think Sam Adams Boston Lager is a great brew.

 

[spacemaker]

You Limeys always have the good stuff.

 

[thood6]

for easy stuff to get i like blue moon and shiner

 

[ScooterBrewer]

Kirkland (Costco) craft beer variety case. @$19/case

 

[WhineinAlbany]

Yuengling Lager or Yuengling Black & Tan. Bluepoint Blueberry ale is great when I'm looking for something fruity. When I'm looking for something really cheap, Labatt Blue is okay.

 

[enkamania]

I remember an Australian beer named West End I used to get at Trader Joe's in the 90's

 

[jpr210]

cheap and tasty = Lionshead (plus they have picture puzzles under the caps!)

cheap and getting ****housed = I gotta go with Natural Delight (am i gonna get banned from this forum now? im sorry but you can't beat a 30 rack for $13.50)

 

[david83]

Pbr all the way sh it is like water hahaha

 

[blitzgp]

beer for me is essentially to get drunk or at least a buzz, so high alcohol content weighs heavily.

steel reserve is twice the alcohol content as other commercial beers, and is cheaper than the budwieser/miller/coors styles.

plus, its a lot maltier and hoppier than most commercial beers so for my palate, works a lot better

 

[ENS]

Yuengling Black & Tan

 

[1ratdog]

natural ice.

 

[Guden]

Carib Royal Extra Stout- Imported 6.5% ABV Milk Stout, cheaper than Yuengling Black and Tan.

 

[TJTHEBEST]
