I have a new favorite general-purpose beer

[short bus president]

Poor man's Heineken. Great shit.

That is all.

[GOPisEvil]

1. That is good stuff, but I can't get it here.

No problem; I have Shiner Bock to assuage me. ;-)

[short bus president]

2. we pay too damn much for Shiner around here

but the Yuengling (pronouced "ying ling" according to my Philly-area sources) goes for under $10 a 12-pack. And their black & tan is mighty tasty when a darker beer is in order.

[GOPisEvil]

4. Yeah, because Shiner is an import!

*snort*

Yuengling is really good. I had some while I was in Philly last year.

10. We should

start an exchange program...y'know, expose the poor under privileged beers to new cultures, new peoples... :D

(I'm such the benevolent soul.O8))

3. "poor man's Heineken?"

Heineken? Heineken? Fuck that shit! Yuengling kicks ass. I'd drink Yuengling over Heinie every time.

[Pale Blue Dot]

7. Ditto. And I can get it for $17.99 a case! nt

[Whitacre D_WI]

11. Thirded.

Nothing against Heineken, but Yuengling makes it taste like rat urine.

[Rabrrrrrr]

12. Fourthed

Way better than Heineken

Heineken, for me, is my fall back beer preferred-minimum when there isn't anything better. When I'm in a bar that doesn't even have Heineken, I know I'm in a true dive.

6. It's some tasty hops, I tells ya

8. Hey honey...

pull my finger!

[Mandate My Ass]

9. Dat's some good chit, mahn

And ya even said it right!

[solinvictus]

13. Bavaria by Holland

Another poor man's Heineken at about $5/ 6 pack locally. It tastes just like Heineken.

14. Used to be $1.50/pticher

when I was in grad school at Penn State. And this was only a few years ago. The undergrads drink it like water. Let me be the voice of dissent and say "YUCK" One lager is sure to create a hangover.

The black and tan is drinkable and the Lord Chesterfield pale is passable. Premium is ok, too. But I'd rather spend a few more bucks.

Cheers!
