What is the "worst" beer you like? Your guilty pleasure, if you will...

[jaynik]

PBR, MGD, bud light lime, budweiser select. I like a lot of commercial brews and there's no shame about it. Each has its place on my palette.

 

[DeafSmith]

Dos Equis, but only with Mexican food.

Why? Because I've been drinking that with Mex. food for so long that Mexican food wouldn't taste right without it.

 

[orj]

There's no shame in chuggin' down some good ol' American swill.
Like it or not it's part of most of our heritage!

I'm a chef by trade but I still order pizza from time to time, you know what I mean?
There's nothing wrong at all with supplementing your beer intake with some cheap stuff.

Actually, can someone link a thread where home brewers have successfully cloned or attempted to clone bud,mgd,coors etc?

From what I hear it's pretty tough!

 

[Hannable1975]

I have several.

Cutting the grass or working on the farm - I like a so cold it hurts your teeth can of Miller High Life. ( Grew up filching pony bottles from my Pops )

Cooking out in warm weather - Corona , lime mandatory.

Cooking in cold weather - PBR cans

Goofing off, guitar picking, bull sh** session - I can get down with some Bud American Ale.

Now - Ones I USED to love, but cannot find :
Red Dog
The "RED" Miller - i LOVED it.
Country Club.
But the one I miss most of all, the one I dream about, the one I freely admit I wish I could brew a copy of just to keep all to my greedy little self - Champale. Man I loved that stuff.

 

[ommegosh]

PBR, Genny Cream Ale, and Stoney's all work for me in the summer when i cannot lager. My brother in law found a cheap Pils by the name of Wolters that is not too shabby as well.

Sometimes I think I am the only person in PA who doesn't like Yuengling Lager, tastes to me to use more adjunct(corn) than some of the more derided BMC types and is often skunky in bottles. I think people react positively to seeing the amber color over the typical pale yellow.

 

[HItransplant]

PBR... bottles,.. or for a real treat, off the tap. There's an awesome hole-in-the wall bar in Forest Grove, OR, where you can get PBR pints for a buck !!! yippie.

 

[user 574]

Start of NFL season. I had to get me a 12er of Miller High Life. Its what I do when watching Packers.

 

[fastricky]

I have a special place in my heart for

Wow, that was our beer of choice back in the college/no money days. It was awful but the cheapest you could get by the case.

Recently my folks had a 6 of Miller High Life, I tried one and for a piss beer, I'll take it over any Bud or Coors. (Tho' Bud's American Ale is better, but that's not as cheap so not sure that counts...)

 

[bilder]

For cheap stuff I will have a Hamm's or Blue Moon from time to time.

I would say the best cheap beer I have had is Yuengling, but sadly I cannot get it up here. Would love to see that stuff make it out west and north.

 

[wcarter1227]

Shocktop or Guiness.

 

[corbomite]

Steel reserve, its the only "crap" beer I would actually pay for. As cheap as the beast in most places and miles ahead of anything like it.

 

[camatt2989]

Now i guess im about as trash as you get, on just about any given night you will catch me drinking a Budwiser, Pbr,......and..... coors banquet.... bah feels good to get that off my chest. But in all honesty dont mind em at all. Annything else that lands in my fridge be it homebrew or cases i order "family owns a grocery store" I treat it like gold. I try for one or two of the "gold" beers, and if im havin more and not feeling wealthy... back to the el cheapo.

 

[Gtrman13]

I love me some busch light! After all, it would be a shame to pour a nice craft brew into a red plasic cup! PBR will also do in a pinch.

 

[Brek81]

Pbr is a semi common occurrence, as is miller light. I have drank them since college, so its more of a throwback than anything

 

[BrewThruYou]

Really liked Bud Light Lime for about a case and now it's too sweet.

Corona with a lime. Even High Life Light with a lime in the summer.

 

[Diver165]

See I don't view Yeungling as "bad" beer! It is my "go to" commercial beer when I'm out. And I like a Blue Moon and New Castle too.

A beer that I am embarrassed to say I like is Rolling Rock. LOL There I said it.

 

[worth]

Miller Light. I can't imagine drinking anything else on the boat all day.

 

[stjackson]

My wife's family lives up in a super small town south of Pittsburgh. We went to visit at the end of last winter, when there was still lots of snow/ice on the ground. My mother-in-law put about 12 Yuenglings in a bucket of snow, and it was damn good. There was a bar I went to all the time in college where, as soon as I walked in, the barkeep popped a Yuengling for me. You could say I like Yuengling, just a little. I have also been known to drink a few PBRs when I need something on the cheap.

 

[worth]

I am glad to see so many commercial beer drinkers coming clean. For a while I felt like I was the only one.

 

[pwndabear]

LOL! don't feel bad, you are among friends..... blue moon is nice on a hot day.

this is true. a nice cold blue moon while youre waiting for a steak to cook up is a pleasure that should be had by all.

 

[jezter6]

have a 12pk of high life in the fridge now.

when it's pizza/wings & beer - I prefer the high life. if I'm sitting down to drink a "good beer" I prefer homebrew or something nice (likely belgian).

At the bar, it's high life or corona because I don't go to the kind of places that serve $5 pints of craft beer -- and I sure as heck aint gonna pay $5 a pint when i can get $1.50 bottles.

 

[pwndabear]

has anyone tried those fridgepack things where they have the co2 right on the container?

 

[worth]

A buddy brought me one the other night with a beer left. Pretty much keg beer. I was trying to figure out if I could reload the CO2 dispenser and put homebrew in it, but I didn't think I could get it to work. They have made it so you have to break the plastic container for the charger if you want to get to it.

 

[pwndabear]

ive also seen mini-kegerators for those heineken draft things. waste. of. money.

They work. There are a couple threads about them around here. The miller one works as well. Apparently tap a draft has a contract with coors/miller (I could be wrong about that though)
