Best "Cheap" Beer? (1 Viewer)

[zamboni]

Similar to Spotted Cow. Except everyone in Wisconsin has convinced themsleves that it is actually good

I find Spotted Cow to be decent, but even New Glarus has much better types IMO.

My current go-to cheap beer is High Life. 6-pack bottles is $5.99 in the local gas station's beer cave. If I'm feeling kinda cheap but want a step up from that: Land Shark.

As for the Kona discussion, I liked all their beers but I'd put Longboard as a far distant second behind Big Wave. Kona's good but not "cheap" enough for this thread.

I've seen Kona's for not much more than that 5.99

I think it's 14.99 a twelve pack in Albertsons around here. Sometimes you can get an 18 pack for 17.99 on sale

Wow. I was just at Publix in Nashville suburbs and a six pack was 10.99. For reference...Yuengling six pack was 9.99.

Lone Star Beer easily wins for me. Also pairs well with a shot of Jameson. I consider cheap beer those that cost less than industry norms like Bud, Miller, Coors, etc.

Winner. Now that I'm in California I don't get to enjoy it as much, but I should take a trip to the specialty booze place that has it.

this thread inspired me to get a 30 pack of Genny Cream Ale for $16.99 today... haven't had it since stealing from my grandfather's stash 40 years ago.. it's not bad at all!!

Honestly, it’s easy enough in most major cities to find good beer cheap enough that almost nobody should be drinking any of this crap.

Can you elaborate? How and where does one find this easily accessible good cheap beer in cities?

You people claiming Yuengling is bad are crazy. It's my go to for volume, usually alternating with Corona.

If I want light beer, I go with Coors Light.

There is an odd movement around these parts (SW Missouri, SE Kansas) of people who love Busch Light. I just can't get on board with that one.

i love yuengling and i don't consider it "cheap"

But if you want to try a light beer the Yuengling FLight is solid, Its not readily avaliable everywhere i dont think

I did notice the price of Yuengling dropped here recently. It only came to Missouri a little over a year ago and a 6-pack of bottles used to cost $10.99, but I bought one yesterday for $8.49. It is definitely in the "cheap" beer category around these parts.

Interesting. I really don't know what I pay for it since I've been drinking it forever since I live in the area

I haven't had Yuengling but Corona is pretty terrible so if you like Corona then I probably wouldn't like Yuengling

Not even in the same ballpark

Then Yuengling has a chance...haha Corona is terrible

Yeah, they are two very different beers, which is why I rotate them. Keeps me from getting sick of them.

If you're into Coronas, I suggest trying to find other types of similar Mexican beers that are FAR better. Corona tastes... stale? Try a Pacifico or Tecate instead.

FYP

I like Negra Modella probably best of the Mexican beers. Bohemia is also decent.

THEIR beer or the beer they sell? Because I can get PNW craft beers there for a buck or two less than I can at the big grocery stores.

Generally what I’m saying is good beer at higher but decent prices can be had at breweries in major cities. Once you start paying Yeungling prices there’s no reason to not throw 1-2 more bucks and get something decent. You aren’t finding actually cheap decent beer anywhere. I think I’d just stop drinking before I would consistently drink Miller, Coors, Bud, etc. And this is especially true when you factor in ABV. I can get a 6-pk of Tropicalia at 6.6% for $10-12. Drink more water and higher ABV beer - win-win.

Yeah, a buddy left a few of their beers at my house after the Super Bowl. Some IPA in a green can brewed out of Wisconsin. It was......fine. I wouldn't select it over another IPA that I recognize, even if it were $2-3 less expensive then their peers.

 

[shuke]

Anyone tried the Costco/Kirkland session IPA?

 

[General Malaise]

Anyone tried the Costco/Kirkland session IPA?

I have. It's okay. I'm sure it's probably just repackaged from another label but it's not bad. I think they have a mixed case too, but I just want IPAs too.

Wait, I misread the question.

I say no, now. I think.

I can't explain why, but I agree with and still I like this taste with Corona. I used to only like it with a lime, but now I just drink it by itself. Goes down very easy for me. It wasn't always that way, but somehow my tastes have changed to the point I like it?

Another vote for Pacifico.
