what is your go-to cheap beer?

[Hang Glider]

That being said...they pretty much created the craft brewing market. If it wasn't for them, craft beer wouldn't have spread so quickly across the entire country. Wherever you are...you can find SA....

I'll drink a Sam Adams as a "low" choice, but prefer a SNPA if I can find it...

also respectfully disagree with statement above -

According to Wikipedia, Sierra Nevada link pre-dates Boston Brewing Company link by 5 years ---

No they didn't. There were many other craft breweries before Boston Beer Company came along. There was a craft brewing market long before BBC was formed.

If it wasn't for them, craft beer wouldn't have spread so quickly across the entire country.

Sierra Nevada distributed to other states long before BBC. SN was available in my area long before SA.

Boston Beer Company is not an innovator.

 

[Weizenheimer]

Old Mil or Yuengling for me

 

[Acoma]

I'm still collecting pop off bottles so the cheapest I will buy is Deschutes or SNPA. However, I went out riding with some family last weekend and all we could take were cans and I consumed quite a bit of Crudweiser.

My go-to cheap beers are PBR, the new Schlitz, and Coors Original.

That last one is purely because I used to live directly across the street from the brewery in Golden.

If I'm out riding the motorcycle then I'll drink Miller Lite when we stop for a break. If I'm fishing or camping I'll drink Ice House. Otherwise the cheapest I go is Sierra Nevada or Sam Adams.

I'm not saying that SA was the first craft brewery. I'm saying that if you look at it all...who has done more for the industry as far as growth? I bet if you polled 100 random beer drinkers...more of them have had SA than SN. Sierra Nevada is great, but it's not nearly as influential in the history of craft beer. I should say...American Craft beer.

Miller Genuine Draft, or some el-cheapo wine.

I'll drink pretty much any cheap beer... Most of the places you go to in Las Vegas only have mass produced BMC products. Very few 'craft' beers (like SA) and only a very small number of places have microbrews. It seems to be getting better, though. 2 Yard Houses, a few BJs, a slowly increasing number of local breweries, and a small number of pubs with a diverse selection.

In most cases, you drink whatever cheap beer they have or you don't drink beer at all.

 

[SwampassJ]

Yeungling isn't bad for the price and beats the big 3 in my books.

 

[RMitch]

Ballantine.

Its like $6 for a 6 of tall boys.

 

[Scooby_Brew]

Genesee Cream Ale, $15 for a 30-pack cans

 

[peachwein]

If i'm going for a cheap beer to get drunk on, i would usually go Labatt's.... Probably because its all my dad drinks.

 

[jiggs_casey]

Genesee Cream Ale, $15 for a 30-pack cans

Wow! Love that stuff... Only, it's $8.00 a sixer here!

 

[millworkman]

Yeungling. Nuf said.

 

[bgruis]

Coors Extra Gold

$16 30 packs ...and actually not a bad beer

 

[fg12351]

I cut my teeth on Miller Lite so I usually have a 12 pack around in the spring/summer. Great after cutting the grass. I love SNPA as well especially for the price.

 

[ChshreCat]

Whatever good micro is on sale for $6.99 or less. Usually Deschutes, Pyramid, New Belgium, or something like that is on sale at any given time.

That or the Kirkland case at CostCo. Less than a buck a bottle and the labels come off easier than any beer I now of.

 

[oakaholic]

PBR all the way.

 

[joebme]

If it's for myself, I'll go for labatt.

If I'm supplying a college party, Colt 45, ~$16/30pk
It's the best bang for the buck as far as "beer" is concerned.

 

[yummybeer]

i usually go for the keystone as my cheap beer, but most of the time i'll use it to cook with.

 

[Wetfoot]

Genesee Bock isn't bad, but I find the Cream Ale is darn close to 'below the line'. I'll buy Yuengling when it gets here to Kentucky. I like the four pack 16 oz. cans of Beck's or Heinekin for less than 6 bucks; that's $1.50 pints of decent Euro Lager.

One place here in town has 6 packs of Henninger 16oz. for $5.99. Decent beer at a decent price for me.

 

[rodney]

Schlitz or any of the Hudepohl/Burger beers. Hudy Amber is awesome.

 

[MoBeer44]

PBR or Big Flats. Best part about Big Flats, I buy it at Walgreens.

 

[SwampassJ]

Fire Beer

 

[Chad]

Yuengling Traditional Lager 16.99 for 24 and pretty yummy

Yup, that's mine as well. I like Yuengling. It's got a little body, color and flavor to it, unlike the macrobrews.

 

[RMitch]

Fire Beer

Explain further, please.

 

[509inc]

Boulevard Wheat 19.19 a 20 pack.

 

[Sean]

Fire Beer

I want one!!

I used to like Old Style when I lived in Chicago. Cheap, and tastes like soda water with a beer aroma. Very clean.
