Great Cheap Beer Poll. Read carefully before responding

[JVS]

Poll question: Great Cheap Beer Poll. Read carefully before responding

If you're a beer snob shaddup or go fuck yourself! Sure we'd all love to sit around drinking nothing but the finest, but that ain't in the cards and we don't need your smart ass rubbing our faces in our dire situation. I URGE THAT ANYONE MAKING DISPARAGING COMMENTS ABOUT CHEAP BEER BE PUT ON IGNORE BY ALL OF THE BRETHREN AND SISTREN WHO PARTICIPATE IN THIS THREAD.

So, Here is the selection of Cheap beer, meaning generally less that $10 for a 24 pack

[commander bunnypants]

1. the beast the beast

CB

[livinginphotographs]

43. Seconded.

It's about $8 for a case around here. It'll get you just as drunk as something that costs twice as much, which is kind of the point.

[bif]

2. Old Style hands down

[Mr. McD]

3. Pabst is OK if I want quantity not quality.

:toast:

[Worst Username Ever]

4. Drumand Brothers

THAT will ruin your morning.

[Beware the Beast Man]

5. I was going to scold you for forgetting 'Arn,

but I see you have Old German represented. Perhaps you should include the entire Pittsburgh Brewing family (Iron, Old German, Olde Frothingslosh).

[JVS]

8. I cannot in good conscience call Ahrn cheap beer because it costs $14/case

Iron City is usually cheap on tap, but it's take home price is in line with full-priced brands such as Budweiser

[RPM]

79. was $16 for super bowl sunday

the funny thing was that 24-pahnders cost only $.50 more than 24 12 ouncers.

Guess which one made it to my beverage fridge?

[madrchsod]

6. point beer

cheap wisconsin beer

[Jeff in Cincinnati]

10. Correction...

damn fine cheap Wisconsin beer.

And let's not forget Huber, Rhinelander and Bohemian Club (although I may be showing my age here -- I think Bohemian was gone some time ago).

[TheMightyFavog]

52. damn fine cheap Wisconsin beer.

Known for the potentcy and nastieness of the beer farts it creates, especailly true for the spring bock.

I know, I've literally cleared rooms with Poiont powered flatulence.

[Jeff in Cincinnati]

58. Were you by any chance my college roommate?

He had similar powers.

We used to drive all the way to Madison (from northern Illinois) to get Point Bock and Leinenkugels -- back in the days before nationwide distribution.

[TheMightyFavog]

63. No I go to UW Stevens Point.

Home of Point Beer.

BTW, Lake Forest sucks.

[liberal N proud]

7. When we were kids we could go into the back room at a local

tavern (yes it was called a tavern) and the owner would slip us shots of Blatz beer from the tap.
He knew what he was doing, creating future customers.
I don't even know if you can find Blatz any more.
At the time (mid 70's) a full pilsner was only a nickle.

[tsakshaug]

9. Shaffer is the one beer

to have when you are having more than one

-A case perhaps and wanna get really drunk?

[mark414]

11. PBR me

there's a bar i go to frequently that has special $1 cans of PBR

[Feathered Fish]

12. Old English or Big Bear Beer

mmmmmmmmm cheap beer!

[JVS]

15. Old E is a malt liquor and thus inelgible

Start a malt liquor poll if you want to vote for it

[Feathered Fish]

16. ok then just Big Bear

You are salty today. :)

[JVS]

17. Yar, I'm one salty dog!

[StopTheMorans]

19. very true, and may i add the "Olde" english is spelled with an "e"

a true OE drinker would know this :evilgrin:

[JVS]

21. I'm a St. Ides man, named for the patron saint of drunkeness

8.2% Abv, no fucking joke there

[Feathered Fish]

22. Pardon me,

I am sorry. I can't see the spelling through the paper bag. :D

[JVS]

23. Awww Shit, we got a street cred battle starting here!

[StopTheMorans]

26. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

:thumbsup:

[StopTheMorans]

27. it's all good

:silly:

[JVS]

32. I started a malt liquor poll

[Feathered Fish]

13. Dupe

[Beetwasher]

14. Natural Ice Is CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP AND GOOD!!! And 5.9%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's less than 4 bucks for a six and it ain't bad and I AM a beer snob saying this. It's the extra alcohol that does it...Most other beers are usually around 3.5% or less.

[StopTheMorans]

18. this is my kind of thread! fuck those who disparage cheap beer, damn

elitist assholes :D :toast:

[foxy]

20. The only cheap brand I drink is Busch other than that I drink Miller Lite

[StopTheMorans]

28. my exact choices (well, almost, Busch Light and Miller Lite)

[foxy]

29. So where's the party gonna be this weekend?

Your treat right?

Oops forgot mom's having a party at the bar my beer is already bought. Poor mom I guess she took me to raise or something.

[StopTheMorans]

35. so, where's YOUR party?

40. Willis, TX

Small party but always fun lots of darts and pool for everyone.

[StopTheMorans]

42. damn it, I'm in Boston. maybe next time

[foxy]

44. Isn't that somewhat near where "matcom" is?

I 'd love to come to one of those parties yawl are always having up there.

[StopTheMorans]

45. yeah, i love how you put his name in "quotes" like he's a mythical being

or something. we go to the same DU meetups, i've met this "matcom" before :wow:

[foxy]

48. I find myself looking for just his post in the mornings.

Is that sad or something? He makes me laugh and gets my day started off right. He even makes my wierdo dad laugh and that is saying something for that old man to laugh at anything on DU. He like his 'liberty' forum to play on.

[ThorsHammer]

24. Icehouse (I think it's within the cutoff)

[JVS]

51. I should have put that instead of American

[giant_robot]

25. Old Vienna

It's $5.60 a 12-pack at the drug store, and it's GOOD. I'm a bit of a beer snob, and I love my OV.

[taught_me_patience]

30. Natural Lite...

It's made by Anheiser Busch... IT IS BUD LIGHT

taught.

[Book Lover]

34. Are you talking to me?

[Wapsie B]

36. Schlitz is what I'm drinking.

But I look for closeout specials at the liquor store. Most of the brands mentioned here are stocked there along with some more expensive brews.

[Radical Activist]

37. No Miller Lite?

That's the only cheap beer I drink. Good Union made beer too.

[JVS]

39. Miller light costs about $14 per case, too expensive to qualify

Hell, the pounders cost $18!

[Radical Activist]

41. wow! If Miller lite is "too expensive"

then you mean seriously cheap ass beer! Sorry, I don't know what to pick.

[musette_sf]

38. "Hey Mabel,

Black Label, Carling's Black Label Beer!"

Yes, I know I am dating myself.

[eek MD]

57. My Dad always drank Blatz because it was nice n cheap

Do they still make that stuff?......Haven't been in wisconsin for a while....
Point beer, and Leinenkugel's were a few of the other more popular "cheapies" that us High Schoolers used to drink back in the 90's... =)..........(Gosh it was great living in the backwoods and never getting carded.)....

[flvegan]

59. Steel Reserve?

It's like Miller on 'roids. 'Round here it's $1.29 for a tall can.

[JVS]

60. That's a malt liquor

[njdemocrat106]

64. Does Ballantine Ale count?

I like Pabst Blue Ribbon, too. Most of these "cheap" beers I'd drink any day over any BudMillerCoors product.

[JVS]

[JPalance]

65. Lone Star.... The national Beer of Texas (nt)

I am so sick of beer snobs. I like my beer cheap and cold, just the way I like my women, (sorry, bad sexist joke, I just couldn't resist). :spank:

Of the beers that are listed in the poll, I like Keystone the best even though it is made by the evil wing nut Coors family. :beer:

[baldguy]

But, I'll always have a warm spot in my .... stomach for a green screamer. And I remember when they were green.

[KyndCulture]

77. No PBR? nt

[JVS]

78. I should have remembered it instead of American Lager

which is the dirt-cheapest stuff I ever saw. I don't drink PBR anymore because I discovered Old style
