Seriously? Heineken? Glort. I would rather drink PBR or Natty Light.my cheap beer is a 24 pack of heineken for 20 bucks.
As far as I'm concerned, if it has corn or rice or anything other than wheat or barley, it's not beer.
And they don't own a brewery, all contract brewed. It makes sense as a business decision.
And Ballentine is just sad. Making an IPA until 1971-2 when they went under. If they could have hung around 10-15 years maybe they could have got back into the nations top 5 brewers as they were in the 40's early 50's
Wow that's really cheap, I just don't see how they can haul that all the way from Europe to China and sell it for that.One of the local supermarkets stocks a lot of no-name German beer (about 30 cents)
I know this is a necro thread. My philosophy is if it's dredged up, it's fair game.
Cheap or Inexpensive?Can't explain it, but I still almost always have some PBR around, and I like it once in a while.
Let me explain that in high school my favorite beer was Deschutes Black Butte Porter (back when they were a Micro), and in the 13 odd years since, my personal quest has been to find/make the bitterest, most aromatic, full-bodied IPA possible.
I have been drinking great beer for a long time, I just like the crap too sometimes.
Anyone else?
lol, yes, I get the same results from any of the Miller products, headache. Bud gives me stomach cramps. Coor's, no thanks. If I go to a restaurant and those are my choices, I'll just get a sweet tea instead.Hell yeah, cheap beer has its place. I especially like PBR, Coors original, and High Life. MGD, on the other hand, always gives me a horrendous headache, even if I've only had one.
Around here I can buy Hamm's in six-packs of 16s for $4.99. That makes a case 20 bucks. That's 3 or 4 dollars less than a 30-pack of Bud Light and contains the equivalent of 2 more 12oz beers. Hamm's is not only cheap but it's an order of magnitude more beer-like than the name brand light beers.
...and the reason i bring it up, 20 bucks for 24 4.4% beers is NOT cheap beer......
don't know why but the skunkiness of the green bottle mickeys brings me back to the teenage years. I will pick up a 40oz once in a while to bring ice fishing same with Heineken. but of course for good beer I had Michelob and a select sam adams.I like PBR too. I almost always have lite BMC in the fridge for guests that don't want homebrew. There aren't many, but there are a few.
I still like a Mickey's Big Mouth every now and then. That's some pure green awesomeness right there!
Sure it is. It just isn't prison hooch. To each his own.
currently in my area for decent "craft" beer it is all IPA or a blonde ale at about 6%+ there are session ipas but they are terrible. if I want to drink 3-5 beers in a night without a problem I will drink a cheap beer. I have brewed a delicious 4% beer that is 200% better than major breweries but am unable to have time for a consistent daily consumptionNot since living in Germany for over five years....I mean, I've drank more than my share of cheap beer, but to say I "enjoy" them would be stretching the truth more than a bit. (and yes, I still remember my first pint of Guinness, my first English bitter, my first Licher Pils, my first Alt.....)
Have you ever watched "Longmire" on Netflix?I always have Coors Orig running around, but rolling rock or high life... mmmmmm. I had a $100 bounty on a case of Rainer for the longest time here in SoCal. Use to do dollar Rainer nights at the Gold Bar in Helena. none of my friends could come up with a case. good stuff to pair with some fond memories.
that was my first beer. I turned 20 actually and my sister bought me a 6er of Stroh's. I haven't seen it in years.I'll always have a soft spot for Stroh's. My grandmother drank nothing but Stroh's and it's the first beer I ever remember tasting. I occasionally will give myself a nostalgia and buy some old style too. And once a year I buy bud light for my annual college alumni golf scramble (can't bear to pay the course prices.)
