What's a good cheap beer?

Yea, I know some haven't had a drink for 17 yrs now but I like beer. Busch Light is up to $26 for a 30 pk and I'm looking for a change. My nephew likes Natural Light which is pretty cheap I think. What do ya'll like for cheap drink?

Hamm's?

Old Milwaukee. 18 bucks for 30 pack at walmart here

Go old school: Hamms, PBR, Grainbelt, Schlitz.

Is Milwaukees Best still made? That used to be a decent beverage.

Milwaukees Best is some nasty stuff. Old Milwaukee not much better.

Busch light is around 21.00 here for 30 pack plus tax unless it's on sale then 18.99.

Miller high life. It’s the Champagne of beers.

Stag........has become the cheap beer house brand.

The good stuff, if you want a real beer, Bitburger.......but it's not cheap.

If in KC area, KC Bier not bad either. Some of what Boulevard makes, also OK.

Hamms for sure.

Lone Star!

keystone light, 9.99/15 pk, 18.99 a 30

No such thing.

Free

The best drink around is take some double run and mix it with Diet Mountain Dew. Now that is cheap and good,

Good cheap beer are words that do not go together. Eric

Natty light from the dolla general YE YE

Lucky Streak

Canned Metamucil!

That's what I'm thinkin

hamms or natty light

I love PBR but only on draft

Old German.

Birch or Root beer. Good and cheap

Budget beer is not palatable

Smart man yonder

Hamms

Coors banquet not the cheapest but it's good

Yes, the light seems more common than the full test. I once went to Lake Powel and stayed on a house boat for a week and did a taste test between Milwaukie's best and Milwaukies best light. After a week we decided the light cans were not quite full.

Take out the C and the L on that last one more like it.
But they had really cool cans.

Free is the only good beer that's cheap

My aunt drinks Bush Light and I just hate it. I like a full bodied beer. Probably why I’m becoming more full bodied…

Heisler

WS

one that comes out of Dead Coyotes cooler is the best

Schmidt Beer? Eh?

Coors light

Buckhorn, Phieffer's, Blatz, Black Label.....those were Grampa's go to beers....returnable bottles...

The very worst beer I've ever had was still Purdy darn good.

Oldmakemewalkfunny is what i normally drink. Or Narraganset if they have it at beer store. Its the beer in "Jaws".

Just paid 19.99 for a 30 pk today at the small town grocery store. Stock up when youre somewhere that has it. Another decent choice is the High Life.

Not counting my home brew.

High Life in bottles. $16.49 a case at our local store. Ice cold it's tough to beat. Just keep it out of the sun. It only takes about 10 minutes to start to get the skunk.

HaHa Mark...., as soon as I hit the submit button I thought of you. Lol.

So...., I take that back...

I can get a 30 pack of Busch for $20 out the door at the bar up the road, . Heaven I tell you.

30 box PBR at Walmart here is about 17.00 plus deposit.

Not much of a beer drinker but if I do it's Miller high life or Coors banquet. I've never had Natty light but they have it and keystone light on sale here every couple of months. 18.99 for a 30 pack and you get a 15 pack free. Those sales are at piggly wiggly.
I'd rather have my cheap raspberry vodka and C4 or Windsor black cherry whiskey with mountain dew.

In 1974 I bought Buckhorn. The regular price was (2) 24 bottle cases for $5.00. I stored it in the unheated stairway to my unheated atttic. A good part of the year that kept the serving temperature just enough below room temp for perfection.

Not to point out the obvious, but anything named "Busch", including natty light, comes out of same vats as Bud Light. Those guys remain dead to me.

Had forgotten about Buckhorn. Along same lines was Champaign Velvet. Once bought a case of CV, a six pack of Old Milwaukee, and got change back from a $5.

May need to start a new thread on old beer brands that have gone away. Stroh's? Falstaff? Olympia?

Don't know current status of Schlitz. At one time, was one of big 3 national brands, along with Bud and Miller. Schlitz went down, only to be revived with rumors that whoever was making it had found some old guy who knew the original recipe. The revised stuff was sold alongside Hamms and at same cheap price. It was pretty good.

I had one Schlitz in my lifetime. One too many!

And what is current status of Old Style?

Hamm's it is made by miller the spend no marketing time or money on it so it stays less cost.

This was my go-to for years the little liquor store by my house carried it cheap as anywhere.

The beer truck used to pull up on a Wednesday and they unloaded the entire hall stacked floor to chin high against the wall with bush and bush light it would be warm in the hall way back to the walk-in where the hamm's was kept cold.
the Bush was warm and they would sell that down to knee high or lower by Sunday night
at the time it was 5 dollars a 30rack or Bush or Bushlight than the 30 of hamm's
Hams is 8.3carbs per 12oz

Now I drink Miller light about $21 a 30 rack or case of bottles 3.2carbs per 12oz

Montucky as my brother calls it "the best beer available under 20dollars a 30 rack" 4.95carbs per 12oz

I remember when Pfeiffers beer was $3.95 for a case of 24. Not too bad for the money, but you didn't want to venture far from a toilet!

I still get it at hyvee, that and PBR, if I’m in the mood for a light beer I go to keystone light.

I always thought Old Milwaukee was rotgut beer. It was cheap, but very harsh to swallow.

I forgot about Old Style.... or Dog Style, as we used to call it in high school.

Yuengling Premium

Old Style is being revived and is going to be brewed in La Crosse WI again if it isn't already. They repainted the 6 barrels there to make the world's biggest 6 pack again. I was just by there last weekend. I think it may increase the popularity in this area again as it's local.

X2
Maybe not the cheapest , but low priced.

Dang good beer for the money.

Randall what is double run?

Almost all of our kegs in college were Old Milwaukee and you know a couple hundred scholars can't be wrong...

Just bought a 6 pack of Strohs,$5.69

Pbr only cheap beer I will buy. Mgd is ok too

Three consecutive cards; one of which is paired. Peg eight.

Or could be he's talkin' shine

These aren’t too bad, picked up a 12 pack last week. Not sure what they cost, I didn’t look.

Old Style

was at the store buying my Lite 21.48 a 30 rack or 24pack of 16z cans or 24 pack of bottles.

Hamm's 14.99 a 30 rack
Highlife 18.99 a 30 rack same for PBR

These aren’t bad either if you’re in the mood for a little hops or a nice light beer.

I can't say I've ever bought beer for the taste.
Would be fine with a 10.00$ buzz as a 20.00$ one.
Once I've had 3, they all taste the same.

If you stop by, just grab whatever out of the fridge.

that might be a sign of alcoholism if you only drink for the buzz.

I have 1-3 a night , no buzz at all I just enjoy beer

besides coffee and water it is about all I drink.

I drank so much PBR 50 yrs ago I get a headache just looking at the logo.

A good cheap beer is any beer my friends bring over.

Was going to ask about Rolling Rock. Can remember having a few of those and remember them being pretty good. But on a hunch, looked it up and lo and behold.....now owned by AB / InBev. No joy to be found there, but that may be the case more than we know. No telling who owns what and whose pocket you are lining with every six pack bought.

If you are tough enough to wade thru it, this Wiki offers a pretty good case study / summary of everything wrong with the beer industry........and how the wizards of smart in Corp American screw things up. If you can understand the language they speak, they don't make beer for their loyal consumers to drink. They make product to sell. Big difference. The guys in Nashville now running corporate country have done the same thing.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olympia_Brewing_Company

Does Equis.

Got a few 12s for 3 buck over the border. Now they are illegal imagants.

My beer source freshman year of college would only buy LaCrosse Light, because thats what he drank. It came in 15 pack flats, packaged like mason jars with plastic wrapped around. 3 bucks and change. It tasted like cow pi$$ but it eventually did the trick.

Hard to find, but pretty good if you can.

Point

Looks like they dodged one bullet (sold, but bought back), and have gone over to the dark side.......ales and ciders.......but for now anyway, still and option for the woke aware consumer.
