My favourite 'cheap' beer is Old Style Pilsner. We call them 'Grampies' colloquially, because almost everyone's Grandpa had them in the fridge. I remember finding a half case frozen into the ice in the local river...we chipped away for hours, and it was perfect!!
It's a classic Pilsner, and actually isn't very cheap anymore!

Worst cheap beer was at the Strathcona Hotel (ca. 1920) in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. (Think Moe's Tavern) They used to have a day every month where they would sell half-pints for 10¢, the original 1920's price, and they didn't care how many you had on the table. It was the worst recycled draft we'd ever had, but as poor students, this night was epic...next morning was absolutely the worst
, but we kept going back.
