I like cheap beer - it’s what I grew up on.

Miller high life - Busch light - pbr - lone star - are my go to mostly -

Just wondered if any other mfp folks also enjoy a good cheap beer - or does everyone drink micro brews these days ?

    I support my local Craft Breweries, might not be the cheapest option but I enjoy their beer. When I was in college I definitely hit up the cheap stuff 🤣

    Gotcha like I tell me kids - I’m not “old” I’m “vintage” so I’m automatically cool right ?

    I can’t think of any other redeeming qualities.

    Ha, Touché! Excellent point!

    The "buck a beer" pissed me off so much
    Firstly, I prefer wine, lower that tax *kitten*
    Secondly....I'll just shut it, I'm not politicky anyhow and I know it's a no-no

    I'm not huge on beer, but as I recall Lucky Lager was a decent tasting inexpensive beer.

    My favs are Mill Street organic lager, Guinness and Moosehead. I don't often drink beer, but will pick up a can of any of these when on sale, cheaper beer!

    "Cheap" is a funny and relative term in the beer world. My state has the most craft breweries per capita. A six pack of a decent Magic Hat for $8 is looked down at, as a 4 pack of the double hoppy stuff sells for $16. But if I bring that same $8 six-pack to my home state, my family things I've grown to be a beer snob! They don't buy anything that doesn't come in 30s.

    anytime my family gets together everyone brings a 30 pk and a cooler and you never have look too far for your next beer

    For lack of anything else, I drank a Montucky the other day. It wasn’t terrible.

    Can't remember the last time I had a beer. Never liked it. Prefer Whisky.

    You must have only tried the fizzy yellow water stuff if you say that.

    Fun fact: "Old Milwaukee Light is the most award-winning light beer in the history of the Great American Beer Festival."

    Beer makes me want to throw up a little bit. I have tried so hard to get accustomed to it, but I just cannot do it. I get queasy just thinking about the taste.

    My dad loves his Busch Light, though. I would assume that counts as cheap beer?

    Depends mostly on the season for me and what I'm doing. We have a lot of local craft breweries here and they have very good beer and in the winter I prefer IPAs and seasonal winter beers.

    I have a hard time with those in the summer when it's 100+ degrees and they don't really appeal. I usually opt for Pacifico or Victoria in the summer with a lime wedge poolside.

    If I'm going camping I will usually bring a 6er of Coors Banquet or PBR along with some IPS or Pale Ales because I have fond memories of camping with my dad when I was a kid and he always drank Coors or PBR.

    Pacifico is a great summer beach beer!!!!
