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

[mrtr33]

It's summer time. Hot weather, fishing and camping trips, and I love to drink cheap beer this time of year. I admit it. When I'm fishing on a lake, or mindlessly working in the garage on another failed attempt as a woodworker, I enjoy the cheap beer. I enjoy it because (depending on where you live) the alcohol percentage is lower than premium beers (= I can drink more of it), I don't really have the mindset to appreciate complex tastes anyway, and, like with cigars, I enjoy spotting a deal.

So here is the list, in order, of my favorite, mindless beers to drink:

1. If I'm fishing in Ontario, Canada somewhere, it's Labatt's Blue, in a can. Nothing beats it on a hot summer day sitting in the middle of a lake.
If I'm in the states, I enjoy Milwaukee's Best Light in bottles. A college buddy of mine used to travel 4.5 hours to Columbia, MO, and bring back cases of the stuff.

2. Milwaukee's Best (regular)

3. Modelo Light - for some reason, I don't like this beer while IN Mexico. In other words, I only enjoy this beer imported, rather than domestically.

4. Oranjeboom - in cans

5. Peter's Brand - in bottles

6. Pabst Blue Ribbon

Does anyone else enjoy the cheap beer? Any suggestions for me?

Hell Yeah!

Sitting around at the hunting club at night = mass quantities of Busch beer or Bud Light!

I can pound some Busch (pun kinda intended)

I can't believe I totally forgot about Busch Light. That was the very first beer I got drunk off of. I was 16 years old, in a bar in Houston, Texas. I was playing in an adult lacrosse league, and we had just gotten waxed during two brutal games against like Houston Metro and Texas A&M or something like that.

Good beer. Better in quantities.

It's all about PBR and Keystone Light. 30 packs are often on sale for $10.89 near my school.

Natural Light "Natty Light" is the best cheap beer. Goes down smooth like water.
PBR isn't bad either.

A pox upon your house, how can you do this to your taste buds. It's like saying, I want a mindless smoke, give me a schwisser schweeeeeeet

Life is too short to drink bad beer. If you need something light and refreshing, do as the Germans, take a heffeweisen and half and half it with cold lemonade. That's 100000000 times better than piss-beer. Yes yes, I know good beer isn't as cheap, but schwissssssers are cheaper than Gran Habanos and Rocky 2nds.

BTW, I'm not mad, just sad
