Of course, I'd rather be drinking New Castle, or some Sweetwater, or anything decent. But when I'm cheaping out, this is what I drink (Notice the urban cammo can. That means I can walk around down town drinking it, without the cops seeing it, right?):

BL...Either Busch Light or Bud Light...whichever is on sale that week. Usually never pay more that 12.99 a case, sometimes it's as low as 8.99.
elvis christ
Heh, I payed $12 for a pack of smokes and a 12 pack of this filth. And I'm going to drink it all tonight. If work is going to sporadically stick me on a 2nd shift to accommodate the scum bags at the social security building, I'll go in hung over and dragging ass. It only seems appropriate for government work.

$12 for a case is a damned good deal. Alabama has state control over all alcohol sales, so it's kinda expensive. Ultra taxation.

Shit, Yeungling isn't that cheap, man, unless you're in PA drinking it on tap for $1 a pint at a bar, which was what made me want to move to Pittsburgh with my ex. Up here, it's about $6.50 + tax for a six pack.

Juggs, the red stripe is expensive, too. You guys just don't know the meaning of cheap beer, I guess.

I'm talking about less than $4 for a 6 pack. Serious gut rot horse piss.
Juggernaut
Dude... did you not see the first beer I posted????
remember 30 packs vs. a 24 pack????

I know cheap beer...
I just drink Red Stripe because it reminds me of the cheap beer I used to drink....


how 'bout
elvis christ
Oh man, the BEAST. It should be endorsed by high schools everywhere.

I love the 30 pack cube, we just never had Stroh's down here. I guess the beast was as close as we got. Maybe Natty ice or light.
elvis christ
Did you know that in Alabama you can't sell beer in a container larger than 16 oz, or with an alcohol by volume greater than 6%. But you can buy PGA at the state run liquor store for the lo-lo? Fucking Bible thumping government.

Stroh's invented the "beer shits".....

you could just drink the Detroit River water in the Delray district around zug island and get just as messed up.....

Oh YUK! Not the BEAST.... 010.gif uggghh...lol

Juggs ya know what's funny as shit? LOL! I'm drinkin one of those Stroh's right now that looks exactly like the pic you posted. 009.gif

The BL ran out!

We had three 82 Airborne guys up here from Bragg staying with us Fri and Sat (krisfox and his buds) and they left the remainder of one of those 30 packs here for me to polish off. I had never seem them before but from what I hear, that's the norm down there on base. Cheap as hell too. They're shipping out to Iraq in a couple weeks. I'll have em up here again next weekend (for the fifth weekend straight...) and then it's off to the sandbox. It's been great hangin out with em and shootin the hell out of shit.

Gotta love putting up military guys. Every time my buddy from the Navy comes through town, I put him up and we get wasted. Last time he showed up with a handle of Beam, and we got hammered for a couple of days. But now he's in AA, I guess he was drinking too much, so we won't be drinking when he comes back into town. I guess we'll eat compulsively, or something like that.

Funny story: we're at a restaurant eating with a guy that we went to school with, and the navy guy is dropping F-bombs all over the place. The guy we're eating with says "Man, Randy, you sure do curse a lot. But I guess you are a sailor."

PBR light 5.99 for a 12 pack or Schlitz which you can get at the college bev here in Raleigh for 4.99 a 12 pack. I much prefer the wychwood hobgoblin I have on tap though.

We had $9.99 cases of Busch Light not long ago. Speaking of prices, how's gas prices for y'all? Cheapest we have is $1.77.
G O B
Yuengling.
I do not drink cheap beer now that I am all grown up and shit.
Twinsen
Bud Light, Miller Light, and Coors Light all taste the same to me. I'll take any of those or a normal Bud anytime.

I saw gas under $2 for the first time today. $1.99 or $1.89 or something. 93 octane is still over $2.00, and that's all I pay attention to.
Gas Giant
$1.51 at speedway yesterday!

Typical beers I like in order from expensive to cheap

Red stripe ( yeah! Juggs)

Miller genuine Draft

Coors,

Miller Lite,

Nattie lite

Nope Haffeneffer Private Stock. Shit, I just read somewhere that they didn't brew the shit since 1967, but I remember drinking it up in Mass. in the mid Eighties. 015.gif

Anyway, trying to decipher those caps while toasted was da bomb! 027.gif

Mickey's also have puzzles, PBR had playing cards under the cap for awhile.
Gaddis
Could be. I do remember imbibing in Mickey's Stingers in the distant past. unsure.gif

Learning to flick the caps off your thumb into your buddies drunken face (usually resulting in a fight where somebody ends up puking on the other person) was a skill well learned. laugh.gif

PBR or Busch. Any college town bars will have "tubs" of the stuff for about $1.50 - $2.50. Sometimes a pay $10 all you can drink.

WSU kids love the stuff and account for a decent amount of total sales.

If I'm buying on the cheap-Busch. On a good day I might get some free short fills from a buddy that works at Ofallon Brewery, or possibly a growler from another. In the wake of the end of an era for our friends at AB I recently watched a documentery on the brewery going back to the early days till now. It really was a great place, owned by great people. If you click on the link and understand that this commercial only aired one time, it gives you an idea of how good a company can be. Never forget 911.

Not to hijack the thread, but if I were to drink beer. I would go Heinny's over any others. That's what I always drank back in the day. Cheap beer has its draw backs. IMHO.

Speaking of cheap beer with gimmicks under the cap, do y'all remember when regular high life had car parts under the bottle cap? They'd have a wheel, or a motor, or tranny, all kinds of stuff. I never figured out what the point was, but it was amusing.

I like what it says on the south paw box. Something like "double hopped for more beer taste, but brewed as a light beer so you can enjoy more." Of course, that's not exactly what it says, but I take it to mean "It's got a good bit of alcohol and tastes like a light beer, so you can drink a bunch of it"

Here at NCSU we have our choice of $5 dollar all you can drink bud or $6 all you can drink bud or bud light. OR you can go to mystery beer night where for a dollar you get a beer out of a trash can......always a winner there could be a mickey's could be a battle of sutter house wine!
