I don’t know which surprises me more–that I failed to post in this thread, or that the people who did post failed to mention Billy or Rattler.
Because we’re cheap-ass lushes who’ll choke down anything as long as it has hootch in it?
Premium!! King of the cheap beers. We had a scare a year or two back, when they closed up their St. Paul brewery. The good folks down at Schell picked up the brand though and it’s still going strong. Also, the Grain Belt bottle cap billboard still graces the Mississippi River here in the TC.
Better beer doesn’t sell as well as the megabrews.
I gotta chime in here rather late with Milwaukee Special Reserve Ice. The best description I can think of is garbage water in a can.
The same can be said for the Bush administration.
[Moderator Underoos On]The same can not be said for cheap (and totallly out of place) political pot shots. Knock it off.[/Moderator Underoos On]
There are many worse beers. Has anyone had the pleasure of Blatz in a can? My God. Actually, the initiall taste isn’t horrible. Really, after three, who can tell? The next morning though? Just wow. Share a room sometime with two other Marines with one bathroom. Not a pretty sight. 
I can’t believe no one’s mentioned Stag beer yet. I brought a case of it to a BYOB party in college once, 'cause I was poor and it was the cheapest thing on the shelf, and no one else would drink it with me. It had the amazing ability to taste like warm beer even when it was ice cold.
I nominate Molson Black Ice beer.
Me and a friend bought 24 cans on a whim…much to our dismay. It took us a month to slowly end the pain of that purchase.
Don’t drink much beer except when it’s hot on the links and then I actually do like something really light and really cold like Coors. What I won’t drink though is Miller Lite. Ugh. I like Miller just fine but their Lite make me peegurgitate.
I’ll vote for Koch’s Golden Anniversary. A milestone they have been celebrating for about 20 years. It also holds the distinction of being so poor that not even Genesee, the c-grade brewer who actually makes it, wants their name on it.
Really?!? That was always the part of **Repo Man ** I remembered, but I thought it was a gag for the movie.
30 years ago in Illinois people would bring in Coors from trips from the West, and I’d wonder why they’d bother. Olympia back then wasn’t bad.
I was too young to drink this, but in NY there was a beer called Piels, which had great commercials - cartoons voiced by Bob and Ray. They were very funny, and convinced lots of people to try the beer.
Which was a problem, because each person who actually drank one dropped out of their potential customer base.
Nope, it’s real. We used to buy it for beer bong parties when we were poor college students. It was only sold warm, on cardboard pallets at the end of an aisle and stacked to head high. It always looked out of place everywhere but in the corner of a fallout shelter.
Yep, and it isn’t half bad. But you are far better off going for their Schell’s brand if your going to buy from them. But in all, I wouldn’t include any of their offerings in this thread.
This thread is making me thirsty.
Which brewery produced “Beer?” I don’t have a can of the generic in my collection, so I have no idea who was responsiblr. Anybody? Lieu?
Excuse me. I meant to say the Busch administration.
You used to be able to get it at Ralph’s grocery stores in SoCal. It’s been a while since I’ve shopped in their beer section, so I don’t know if they still offer it.
Have any Brits tasted Skoll? Good God. The first and last time I had that was on a camping trip. Me and my tent mates couldn’t stop farting all night. The tent smelled like a sewerage works in the morning.
I tried Old Style once. It had five different aftertastes, each one worse than the last.
