Best mega beer

[Steveruch]

Bud, Coors, Miller, Stella, PBR, Hamms, other?

 

[jack13]

Natty Bo could probably be considered mega, at least in spirit.

I can't honestly say I like the taste better than some of those others, but if I'm going cheap, may as well go kinda-sorta "local".

Out of the truly mega, I'd go with Miller High Life.

Someone having a slow day?

My wife likes Coors, Corona and Modelo.
My boss prefers Grolsch.
My uncle prefers PBR.
If one was clearly better than the others, there would be only one, right?

 

[Sailingeric]

PBR. I had Hamm's once, I swear it had negative taste, it sucks flavor from you.

Just as, if one [insert IPA, pastry stout, NEIPA, fruit sour, saison, etc. etc.] was clearly better than the others, there would be only one, right?

Anyhoo I like PBR, and also Miller High Life. They taste like beer. But then I'm a lager guy anyway.

 

[Special Hops]

High Life

Nah. I'm working on a project that might involve cloning a brew that uses corn.

I like Hamm’s. So did a group of blind taste testers a couple of years ago

if you remember my one 'free' keg,, her dad liked hamm's......lol

High Life for me, but if guiness ever made a budget 'lite' beer, i'd go for that, it's what i brew for myself......


and i've tried corn in beer, just tasted like i had vegetables in my beer......

That’s what I get from pretty much all of the rice/corn beers-kind of a vegetable taste.

i got it close but e=mc2 (sp?)....i gotta dump so much energy into it, i can only get close....

i used to make a 100% rice beer with enzymes.....didn't have the vegital funk with it, but can't buy rice hulls at the garden store anymore.....

 

[Kirkwooder]

Dasani, very refreshing, and slightly more hop profile than Mich Ultra.





Labbatt's Blue

 

[Dave Sarber]

1st choice, Guinness Extra Stout, but that's not really mega, so I'll go with Miller High Life.

lol, but what about after work?

 

[seatazzz]

I gotta say MHL. That was the go-to beer back in the day when my best girlfriend and I used to hit up the bar next door to our bowling alley/place of work on Monday nights. Husband thinks I'm cracked and only likes Coors Light of the big boys.

 

[AzOr]

Stella all day.

 

[Cavpilot2000]

I take it you are talking domestic? Because if not, Weihenstephan Helles, hands down.

And I am assuming you REALLY mean domestic American Light Lager?

Like I said in post #8, I'm working on something that may end up with me cloning a (readily available) beer brewed with corn

 

[AzOr]

Bitburger

 

[Hanglow]

Guinness probably. Tennents is one of the better national brands, along with the likes of Stiegl. Better than s.h.i.t.e like Carling/Bud/Carlsberg etc

edit: didn't see the post about corn. Maybe Moretti then, it's the best big name beer I've had with corn in it, certainly superior to Peroni. St Austell Korev is very good but it's a regional brewery

 

[cmac62]

I like coors banquet, but MHL is pretty good too.

 

[Coastalbrew]

Olympia baby! It's the water.

In the pre-light beer era, in this part of the world, the most popular beers were those brewed in the PNW. Olympia (“Oly”), Rainer (“Vitamin R”), and Lucky Lager (“Red Cross”) were the 3 best sellers. A few old guys drank Bud, Hamm’s, or Schlitz, but the beers from Washington were what all the cool kids drank.

 

[day_trippr]

How times have changed. I lived on the Olympic Peninsula in the early '70s and Olympia was my go-to, but could manage Rainier or Lucky if offered (truly more similar than different). I would pass by two of the breweries on the way to Seattle. Flash forward a ton of years, now both Olympia and Rainier are brewed in a MillerCoors facility in Irwindale, CA, while Lucky is brewed in Edmonton, Alberta.

I'm a bit surprised they all succumbed as independent breweries, I'd have thought at least one of them (probably Olympia) would have survived...

Cheers!

 

[AzOr]

Not sure of availability outside of the NW but Henry Weinhard’s private reserve lager is damn tasty.
Last I checked, a twelver of cans was cheaper than any BMC- even PBR.
A great camping beer.

Olympia was always my go to in college. I'd occasionally get pbr or high Life, but Olympia was always my preferred mega beer. I was devastated when something changed in the distribution chain and they stopped selling it in my area. I live in the se us and you just can't get it out here. Sad day. Long live the water!
