Confession Time - Crap Beer

[Homercidal]

Depends on where I am. If a friend offers me a Bud Light, etc. I'll drink one just out of respect for their hospitality. But if I'm at a restaurant where their idea of a "good selection" is Bud, Bud Light, Coors, Coors Light, MGD, Miller Lite, etc. I'll go non-alcoholic and make up for it when I get home.

+1 Ice tea if that's all they got.

Round baling hay, I put a 6'er of Silver Bullet cans in a PlayMate cooler, set that right beside the foot throttle in the tractor cab, and I'm good to go.

More than 6 bullets and the bales start coming out of the baler a little uneven.

 

[rabidgerbil]

Redhook ESB is my fallback beer... that or Fat Tire

 

[CBBaron]

With all due respect, I'm gonna have to call bullsh!t on this one....

Another non BMC drinker here.
Oh I've tried it. I tried it in high school, in college and more recently. Couldn't stand more than a taste of it. Thought I didn't like beer until I move to the Boston area for a while and was introduced to some good micro brews.

Now I like a wide variety of styles but still can't stand the an American lager.

My cheap beer is Guinness or Sam Adams, prefer Guinness but usually order water if they don't have anything better.

And you have that right. I have no way of proving I haven't, you have no way of proving I have.

I didn't drink beer till I turned 21 (blackberry brandy was my swill of choice prior to being 21). The first beer put in front of me was a Yuengling. That's all the parties ever had in college (having gone to school in PA), I then moved to Texas where it was Shiner and then to the PacNW, where, well, we just have far to many outstanding choices to ever consider BMC. :fro:

For me I don't really like Yuengling but it is better than BMC and I have finished a bottle or two. Still won't pay money for it.

I would love to have a readily available selection like everyone says is in PacNW. However the local grocery does a pretty good job and a few miles away is a beer (and HBS) store that has as good of selection as I've seen. And a local chain has 100 different beers on the menu, most are fairly unusual.

Sam Adams is not cheap...I love the Cream Stout and the Irish Red.

 

[BrianTheBrewer]

If Guinness was also cheap then why is a 12 pack almost $20.
Yes its an import but I would not call it cheap.

No they aren't cheap, but it's cheaper than what I prefer and more readily available.
Guinness and Sam are usually about $7/six pack and available in close to half the places that sell beer. Dogfish Head and Great Lakes are usually $9/sixer and quite a bit harder to find.

Actually, I usually look for the beer that I haven't tried before when picking up a beer from a bar or store.

[BrianTheBrewer]

Im sorry im not trying to say Guinness and Sam are these great amazing brews, what I am saying is that they are not cheap. To me B.M.C is cheap and there are a ton more cheap brews out there. I just consider Guinness an expensive import that is made by a huge brewery across seas. Sam in my mind is a wonderful craft brewer that has taken over brew sales across the county and in a few other countries. Im from Boston so I cant say to many bad things about Mr.Koch and his company.

 

[John_Peters]

My cheap beer of choice is Yuengling or Icehouse. Or you could always make a Nati-rona by shoving a lime in the bottle of your choice of cheap swill.

 

[BrianTheBrewer]

Oh man nothing personal but ICE HOUSE???
YUUUUUUCK!!!!!!!!!!

Thats like drinking watered down Natty Light.

Yuck & Yuck!

I didn't say it was good. I went to College in OSU and that was the drink of choice at parties.

 

[BrianTheBrewer]

Oh man college...we would drink anything we could get.

Red Dog was a big hit. Yuck again

 

[John_Peters]

Unfortunately you don't have much choice at college. Luckily I had a friend who would always get a keg of Leinenkugel for his close friends when he threw a party.

 

[BrianTheBrewer]

I use to drink alot of Heineken in College...

 

[Padstack31]

rainer....love it during hot summer days on the boat

 

[stephen9666]

I actually prefer the low-quality beers to supposed high-class brews. PBR, Schlitz, Hamm's, Old Style.

Although now that I live in Mississippi I can't find Hamm's or Old Style. Only a few places sell PBR and not in my beloved tall boys.

On a good note, the local Kroger just started carrying Schlitz.

Back in the good ole days when Walgreen's sold liquor, I could pick up a case of Schaeffer Light for $7.49. It was AWESOME.

Not only a decent beer at 31 cents a can...but they had absolutely a priceless jingle when I was growing up.

Ahhh, those were the days, eh BierMuncher.

Nostalgic sigh.

Today, it's Tecate or Dos XX's for commercial beer. I buy Tecate by the case in cans and keep down in the barn fridge. I have water & beer there and it keeps SWMBO happy and hydrated.

 

[thataintchicken]

Lucky Lager or OLY.

Want to watch a bevmo clerk have a conniption?
Ask for a keg of OLY!

 

[jrakich87]

The BMC of choice in Santa Barbara is undoubtedly Natty light or Keystone light... I'd take PBR ANY DAY over those and try to convince everyone else of its "superiority."

Oh, and anyone try LaCrosse? It's horrific... I swear each bottle tastes different... one smelled of strawberries, another of aluminum, another of cardboard... I could go on forever. Stay away!

 

[sudsmonkey]

In college, we drank Schaeffer. You could get a case for $10. Last time I saw it for sale anywhere, it was still $10.I drink Miller High Life as a staple of life. I'd prefer my own beer, or Newcastle, or Guinness, but my budget doesn't always allow it.I also dig a cold PBR in the bottle.I appreciate good beer, but I won't turn my nose up at BMC. Life is too short, and sobriety too horrible to be a snob. I feel like part of the club that I know the difference between a pale ale and a porter, but it doesn't make me special. Just another beer drinker.

 

[JohnA111]

I like Genessee cans for mowing the lawn. Cream Ale has a particular sweet spot in my heart.

 

[drux_tx]

Old Style still holds a place in my heart.

My grandfather had it kegged in his basement bar. Every Thanksgiving, I'd forgo eating at the "kids table" and somehow find my way down there.

*burp*

It does go well with White Castles.

Neither of which I can get down here, probably for the best.
