Beer Non-snobs: Stand up and be counted!

As a matter of fact, I picked up some MGD light last night instead of Miller Lite. Why? Because it was on sale–$0.50 cheaper than Miller Lite! Good stuff, too. No Miller prodcut has ever let me down. (Thanks for the welcome!)

I’ll buy Shiner when it’s on sale. But for a good Cheap Texas Beer Buzz, it’s gotta be PEARL. My local bar sells it for $1/can for those patrons whose wallets have grown thin. Not that I drink Pearl regularly… anymore.

The bartender would probably shoot me if I ordered a Miller Light. :wink:

Just to add a little bit more of a Canadian flavour to this - mine would be Kokanee.

Brings back memories of when they didn’t used to sell it in Alberta and we would make runs to Field (just west of Lake Louise) to stock up.

I remember in the good old heyday of generic products, finding generic beer at the supermarket. Now that was tasty.

Holy Shit!!!

The first time I ever multi-post and it’s a SIX timer!

That’s gotta be a sign or something.

Sorry for that; however it happened!

A six-pack of posts! Can’t be a coincidence. :slight_smile:

It is too clear, and so it is hard to see.

I admit it! I’m a beer snob. As an average everyday beer, I drink Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. But I gotta admit, after a hard day of manual labor (splitting firewood, etc), nothing tastes better than a Budweiser! It’s not too heavy, quenches the thirst, and just makes me feel like an average Joe! :slight_smile:

I ::ahem:: have been known to acquire and consume a six of Schmidts. Not by many people, mind you! But at $2.15 per six pack when the cash flow was a long way from being able to accomodate the tastes I prefer, well…

(the local supermarket also used to sell Schlitz for $1.99 and yes, ::ahem:: well, same argument)


Designated Optional Signature at Bottom of Post

I always bought the cheapest beer I could find. I drank for effect, not taste. Of course, I’m an alcoholic.


If chickens could pee, they would be wet on the bottom.

Jeez, I’m getting a hangover just from reading this thread.

Generally, I don’t drink cheap beers, if only because I drink beer so infrequently that I might as well buy the semi-expensive, semi-good stuff. Sam Adams for me, all the way.

This is not a sig.

Coors Light is beer-flavored water, as far as I’m concerned, and Budweiser, while a good “training beer” for high school and college age kids, doesn’t have enough character for my jaded taste buds. As a New Yorker born and bred, I’ve rediscovered Reingold Extra Dry. Not pretentious, but with a little more body than most.

When I want to treat myself, I buy Samuel Adams Cherry Wheat. Good sipping brew.

Beer. Proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.

My name is Coldfire. I am from The Netherlands. I drink Dutch and Belgian beers.

You are all amateurs :smiley:

The cheapest beer that I drink with any regularity is $1.25 pints during happy hour at the Town Hall brewery in Mpls. (Less than two hours to go and friend is driving–hot damn!).

If I drink any of the crap-beers, I have to put tabasco or similar sauces in it to give it any flavor. Also I have to drink Southern Comfort or really bad whiskey with it. Also, I have to smoke a lot. Hmm, maybe that’s why I don’t drink that stuff much any more.

Oh, well. We can always make more killbots.

What John Corrado said.

I drink beer so infrequently that when I’m actually do drink it, I go for the more expensive stuff. We rarely have liquor of any kind in the house (no objections to it, we’re just not real drinkers here), but on the rare occasions that we buy beer for home consumption, it’s usually Labatt’s Blue. My husband likes it. I can deal with it. I prefer Samuel Adams, myself.


Changing my sig, because Wally said to, and I really like Wally, and I’ll do anything he says, anytime he says to.

Errrm, before I get my ass flamed beyond recognition: y’all, except for UncleBeer.

So there.

I love Rolling Rock, and I don’t give a fuck who knows it.

I usually like whatever is cheapest. Although you gotta be careful with that Budweiser. If I drink one of those, I could shit through a key hole at a hundred yards!

My fave? Miller High Life. It’s getting hard to find in bars.

Not that y’all wanna know, but my brand is
Cold and Free.
I really don’t care what it is.
But in the bar or even @ home, I’ll get a tap Bud with lemon.
It’s become a signature drink for me 'round these parts.

When I want to be a beer snob, I’ll order a “Fatass”.
When the waitress looks at me with a bewildered smirk on her puss, I tell her it’s a pint of Fat Tire halfed with Bass.
Clever, huh?
Actually, it’s pretty good, I suggest you try it.


how did it start? well i don’t know i just feel the craving. i see the flesh and it smells fresh and it’s just there for the taking…
VvvV

I can top that! I don’t drink beer either but MY parents also drank PBR…until they found it’s cheaper, nastier, inbred banjo-pickin’, Trans-Am drivin’ cousin: PABST RED, WHITE and BLUE! It’s like Pabst made their own generic brand of their own beer, lol.
