I got a 12 pack of PBR for about 50 cents a can days ago I think there is a few left in the beer fridge. If I want a cheap beer I prefer PBR, Schaeffer or Shlitz. I just can't pay more for BMC with even less flavor
So seeing the discussion in "Beginners" on making Bud Lime clones and being astounded to see A-B mentioned without a string of epithets following I have decided to fess up to drinking crap beer. During summer I like something cold and innocuous to chug when I get home from work and fire up the BBQ. At these times my choice is always Miller High Life. :rockin:
Whenever I've tried Buttwiper (people leave it after parties, honest) I get a hangover without actually getting drunk. Coors, MGD, et al all taste like ass. I do like an occasional Corona, but the thing with High Life is it's super cheap, doesn't get me drunk if I consume three in as many minutes and really doesn't taste enough of anything to be bad.
So what's the lowest credibility brew you actually enjoy consuming when the occasion is right?
I started with Coors because that's what my dad drank, then moved to Coors light because that's what my roommate drank. Then when I started traveling for a living, I switched to Budweiser, because that's what you can get on tap ANYWHERE!
Since then, I've learned to drink 'darker' beers like Killian's, Fat Tire, and Guinness. And I love apple cider.
But truth be known, my staple drink is Budweiser and tequila. Don't know why, but that's what I'm most comfortable with if I'm in the mood for 'DRINKIN'!'
I bet I could distinguish the imports from the domestics (by skunk alone), and if the Pilsner Urquell was well stored, I'm sure I could ID it (skunky, it'd be much more difficult). Side-by-side, BMC have individual subtleties, but I'd have a hard time naming the brand without looking at the label.Maybe we should do a Mixed 6 Blind taste test with Coors, Budweiser, Heineken, Miller, Pilsner Urquell, and Stella. I'm guessing I couldn't name them (I don't drink much of that style, in-fact I don't drink a lot of lagers either way) , but I'll bet I could Rate them!
When I lived in OK, EASILY the best beer for the money was something called "Lionshead Pilsner" (I have since moved and stocked so much homebrew that I don't really need to buy cheap beer) It was about $12 a case and blew away anything by BMC.
I love it when people ask for a Stella at a bar and think they are going high class.Maybe we should do a Mixed 6 Blind taste test with Coors, Budweiser, Heineken, Miller, Pillsner Urquel, and Stella. I'm guessing I couldn't name them (I don't drink much of that style, in-fact I don't drink a lot of lagers either way) , but I'll bet I could Rate them!
Ask a Belgian what they think of Stella :cross:

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

If Guinness was also cheap then why is a 12 pack almost $20.
Yes its an import but I would not call it cheap.
Oh man nothing personal but ICE HOUSE???
YUUUUUUCK!!!!!!!!!!
Thats like drinking watered down Natty Light.
Yuck & Yuck!
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.
