I Love the Cheap Beer ...................... (sometimes)

I refuse to drink cheap beer...I'd rather do without. If you like it I won't hold it against you.

That's my philosophy as well.

I'm all about Coors Light and after that, its PBR. I often wonder as I'm drinking PBR, what was the competition like for Pabsts to win a blue ribbon. That must of been some down right nasty beer if it lost to Pabst. Seriously, because when they were tearing down old homes in SE DC to clear the area for the Stadium, some one found a Pabst can before they had the blue ribbon.

Just found a new good cheap brew: Hamm's. Comes in 16 oz. cans here. Perfect fishing beer.

Hamms is older 'n dirt. Your talking back in the days of Schlitz, Pearl, Falstaff, Jax, etc.

But, it has managed to survive all these years. I will drink a Hamms any day.

Now my favorite is still Billy Beer. I have a case if anyone wants one. It was brewed by Pearl back in the day. It's just a vivid reminder of when Billy Carter jumped off his plane and took a piss on the tarmac. I'm sure Jimmy remembers that one too.

Schlitz is amazing and affordable.

Keystone light = coors light. Same Manufacturer, same can, exact same beer. Pour one of each in a glass and you'll never tell the difference.

I was told back in my bartender days by a distributor that coors didn't have a beer to compete on the Busch level so instead of making another, they just changed the paint on a coors light can.

I guess I'm the lucky one. Being a homebrewer I can brew up a session beer for $18 - $20 for 5 gallons = 2 cases+. This way I don't patronize the macros and I don't impede my taste buds.

For me it's generally fosters or stella when I am pottering around in the garden, what i get for during the week generally depends on where we shop for that period.

you're not the only one. Have a two product draft system for my home brews. Just running Lite and shipyard summer right now because it is to hot to brew something new and after a few get togethers the homebrew kegs are kicked.

Post up some receipts food and drink section.

It's never too hot to brew beer. So far 120°F is the warmest I've brewed. As long as there is cool beer to drink and a nice smoke to enjoy, I can brew.

I've got to get into this. While I admittedly love cheap beer, I love the microbrews, too. There are six breweries in the town I live in, and several more in surrounding communities. 6-pack prices are killing me. If only I could stay in one area for longer than a year, I would jump at the chance. It just seems like I'm always moving.

My brother used to brew - some IPAs and Pale Ales were his best recipes.
