What's your favorite BMC beer?

[kh54s10]

It was Busch! But that was at least a decade ago. I haven't had anything more mass produced than Sam Adams in over 10 years.

 

[TheBrewinator]

Personal go to is High Life or PBR when I'm in the mood for them. I do have a soft spot for Old Milwaukee (not the beast, the regular) and Busch Light since that is what I usually drink with my dad and uncles at the cabin.

 

[shoreman]

Stella Artois or Amstel Light (technically not BMC but same yellow fizzies)

 

[mojo_wire]

Miller Lite. I think I like it more now that before I started home brewing. A trip to a sporting event isn't complete without one.

 

[danorocks17]

Nope. Just miller lite , mgd or miller 64 (same thing) but no high life.

that's crazy! I don't know if i'd go hunting all around town for high life, but you should be able to find it fairly easily, at least in indianapolis

 

[DoubleAught]

I like Miller beers..High Life, Lite, MGD, and remember Michelob being a good "Buzz" starter.

 

[oakbarn]

I have always been a beer snob as I was drinking Heiniken and the Spaten for years before I ever had a BMC beer. Also was in England for 3 years and realy like bitters. But when I cannot get a brew of my choice or one for the lake, I hate to admit it, but I like Shaefers.

PBR or Old Milwaukee, followed close by High Life. Or Budweiser for when I get a hankering for living all fancy-like.

Edit: Whoops, forgot Schlitz. I can't for the life of me find it anywhere around, so it's almost a treat when my roommate brings some back from when he goes home.

 

[BeerBDrew]

Being a StL boy, I really like Michelob (like a poster commented above, Michelob regular, not Light, Ultra, 64 or whatever). While Budweiser is just ok, it is rice beer afterall. Michelob is AB's all malt light-colored lager. It's damn tasty!

 

[wiggybrewer]

High life, Old style, and Pbr.

 

[pentachris]

PBR did an amazing job at grass roots hipster marketing. IMHO, it's as mediocre as the rest of them.

I like Old Milwaukee, for nostalgic reasons. It's as mediocre as the rest of them.

If I'm somewhere with only 3 or 4 beer choices (around here, that's usually Bud, Bud Light, Mich Ultra or Miller Lite), I usually pick Bud. Just because it seems more manly and all-American. But to be honest, if those are my choices for beer, I'll frequently choose bourbon & cola or wine if that's a choice. (Because wine is so much more manly & all-American ha-ha-ha.)

Blue Moon, already mentioned, doesn't really fit the category, I don't think - even though it's a BMC product. But at least it's interesting. And, it's readily available in a can now, which makes it a decent inexpensive camping beer.

So, what's my favorite BMC beer? I guess Blue Moon, if you count that. Bare Knuckle Stout is decent, also. If you don't count those, but if you do count PBR, then I guess Yuengling Black & Tan. It's as much BMC as PBR.

Grain Belt Premium in bottles on a hot day after ploxing the south 40 is fine with me. Don't like it much from a can though.

 

[landshark]

Redbridge. It's a BMC as it's owned by AB. After that it is Amber Bock, but I don't get it often anymore as I wil typically pick an IPA or Wheat over the Bock anymore.

For the just chug on a hot day, if I don't see Shiner Bock, I will pick up PBR, which is strange as I use to choose Miller Lite. I get funny looks all the time too, especially from the people who know I homebrew and love craft beer. It's always "Really? You're going to drink PBR?"

+1
I was gonna bring this up. For the same price of BMC, nothing says grill time like a Premium

 

[phoenixs4r]

Bud light. I even drink it on brew days. Too much home brew = ****ed up hop additions and me to drunk to wait for the chiller to finish.

 

[pohldogg]

PBR is my go to when I'm at my non "beer" bars. And OE 800 takes me back to college.

 

[Rcole]

Stroh's.

 

[WYOBrews]

PBR for me!

 

[crisputer]

Took me awhile to find my go to cheap beers. I drink High Life when its hot and Yuengling Traditional Lager when its not. Bottles for me.

 

[thegerm]

does goose island count, now? coz if so... honkers ale.

 

[NordeastBrewer77]

If you don't like BMC, then move along, this thread is not for you.

For those that occasionally enjoy a can of bmc on a hot summer day, while slaving away in the yard, what's your favorite BMC beer and why? Miller lite, I think does taste a little better than the others, but goes down way way too fast. I've been buying Coors original, and I feel like that has a little more depth to it and doesnt go down so quick (but quick enough - it's a fine line).

Copy Cat!!!


No, really....

Coors Banquet
PBR
Old Style

 

[Hulud]

PBR or Miller Lite depending on whats around

 

[Disintegr8or]

Coors Light or Amber Bock

 

[Homercidal]

Schlitz or Strohs.

PBR if I wanna impress folks.

 

[dankbeer]

PBR out of a can or maybe Yuengling for ~$.70 more.

 

[squatchimo]

Old Mill and PBR.

 

[CEversole]

Keystone goes down easy, its not bad. Plus for the price of a 30 pack you can't beat it.

 

[progmac]

1 - Coors original
2 - Little kings
3 - Hudy 14k

Of those, Coors is the priciest

 

[FarmerTed]

Barmen Pilsner.

 

[Fennis]

Miller Light or Bud Light. Sometimes I'll go for Labatt Blue. Whatever is the cheapest of those three at the local drug store is what I'll grab.

 

[SmoothSmoke]

bud light

 

[Shaft333]

Schlitz is awesome! Goes good when wrenching on the cars or motorcycle.

 

[BrutalBrew]

I forgot about Michelob dark. Haven't seen it in a while but its actually a good beer. Bud is ok because it has more bitter flavor than miller/coors. Coors taste like a watered down Corona to me, they both taste like piss to me also but everyone has different taste. I still like fosters best when buying for cheaper beer.

 

[hwilshusen]

40 years ago when I was in college in Colombia MO I thought Busch was the pinnacle of the brewers art. Though what I drank was Champagne Velvet which was the cheapest beer known to man.

 

[BrutalBrew]

I remember getting mickys and cisco when i was younger, cheap. that cisco will give you one hell of a hangover. Not sure if its beer or wine lmao...!

I've always found bud to be overly sweet. Plus the acetaldehyde bugs me.

 

[aerod1]

PBR and regular Bud

 

[Mongrel]

PBR or Rainier

 

[daksin]

Got to say Grolsch on this one

 

[JONATHANKORTZ]

Old Milwaukee Best Light on a hot day here in Texas or the occasional Hamms now and then.
