I would assume the the majority of us on here all consider ourselves to be beer connoisseurs. we partake in the drinking of very tasty, sometimes rare, beverages and know our stuff. I mean come on...who got into this hobby (and is still doing it) just to brew batch after batch of Budweiser clones??? So with that....here is this threads purpose.....

What beer do you secretly enjoy drinking that most of us would consider to be crappy??(with pictures please)

Mine would be an adjunct lager made by a brewery close to home...Point Special Lager. It fills the "I just need a quick beer" craving without hurting the wallet but also goes great with dinner. Plus, friends who are NOT into good beer always enjoy a cheap beer..... under $14 for a case of 24 cans at Sam's Club.

I'm sure most of my friends on untapped could verify this........Natural Ice.......in the 40 oz. bottle:rockin:
 
I don't discriminate. Once I toured a Bud plant I was in awe of their process. They even had some decent beers in the tasting room. On a 90 degree day I want something like High life to gulp down. Ice cold.
 
I've always been kind of confused by the idea: "crap beer" really?
Do you think you could duplicate strohs? Coors, Bud?
Good luck... Very clean and light. No off flavors.
You like water? I do. I drink a lot of water, why not lighter beer?

I would drink one. Hell, I like beer. Maybe it's an age thing.
I am older, and I am learning to listen to pop music without hurling. The other day I made a "one direction" Pandora channel.
OK I had teenage guests. Who doesn't like to see teenage girls happy?
(I think I'll have another IPA)
 
I don't secretly enjoy crap beer. I quite openly enjoy Pabst Blue Ribbon though. especially if we're playing the MST3K Mitchel drinking game.

I'm with you on the PBR! I love it---

It was selected as Americas Best in 1893... you got to respect that-
 
Big fan of that first Tiger when I arrive in Hong Kong after a 16 hour flight.
Domestically, I find it hard to beat Leinie's on a hot day that you have chores to knock out. All Day IPA is starting to take over as the summer work beer though.
 
Coors light. Used to drink gallons of it in college and can still drink it all day on the weekends
 
A lot of the guys I work with have jumped on the craft beer bandwagon over the past few years. I've had to listen to them bicker over which beers are better and which breweries are worth visiting. At some point, someone asked me what my favorite beer is. The answer is free. Free beer ALWAYS tastes best. If someone thinks enough of me to share the offerings of their fridge with me, who am I to turn it down. Bud light, miller light, colors light, whatever. Best damn beer I've ever had. And I will never have any shame admitting that.

As for what I've purchased for myself, when I drag the boat out to the lake on a particularly hot day, I've found a sixer of Corona in my cooler. Nasty stuff but it hits the spot when it's 95 degrees out. And for those lawnmowin' days, a bit girly but I can dig me some Leini's sunset wheat.

completely agree! i'll pretty much never turn down any beer. my step-father-in-law is the one who taught me how to brew, and he makes some damn good beer. but when we go visit my grandfather-in-law, the guy always tries to offer us some of his "crappy" beer. this last one was some random lager from germany. he was so proud that he brought some beer back from germany. who are we to burst his bubble just because we can homebrew some much better tasting beer.
 
When it's 108F outside in S. Texas, and I'm sitting on the river drinking all day long, my go-to light, clean, crisp, crappy beers are Lone Star and Miller Lite. What can I say, I'm a sucker for that throw-back label in the aluminum bottle! :p

Not sure if this qualifies as "crap" beer but I still enjoy an ice cold Yuengling on a hot day.
I grew up in PA, so I was practically baptized in the stuff :D

While I probably wont order/buy any BMC, I certainly wouldn't turn down an ice cold MGD on a hot day either.
 
Grain Belt Prem-o, Grain Belt Nordeast, and quite a few of Leinies beers are still beers I enjoy from time to time (even Sunset Wheat)
 
Ice cold PBR (I mean like ice), tall boys of High Life when I toss em back, 40oz of Olde English when I drink brass monkeys...ehhh that's about it.

Mid-shelf when I want to get loaded and drink something that tastes good too is Heineken
 
When I was younger I really liked Lonestar, but I'm a Texan so I would.
 
If I'm going to be drinking-drinking for the night. I always get me some good ole Miller High Life to sip in between beers, like a palate cleanser. Mmm...the champagne of beers...
