Cheap and Bad Beer
 

Rick Lee's Van Halen thread where he discusses his drinking of Milwaukee's Best got me to thinking about some of the cheapest and worst beer I have ever had.

Number 1 on my list of cheap and bad is Buckhorn Beer.

Schaffer is pretty bad, but worst might be Mandingo. Its probably actually malt, but I couldn't tell at the time. :D

My favorite cheap beer to drink is Natty Light.

The worst thing I ever drank was miller high life lite, although I also hate Coors Light

I gave up drinking cheap beer after college. Life is too short to bother with cheap beer. If it's not at least halfway decent, I pass and get water or wine instead.

Iron City - tastes likeit was made with water straight from a Pittsburgh retention pond.

Chili Beer from Cave Creek AZ was put near intolerable - but not cheap.

Narragansett Beer - $5 for a case - none cheaper, none worse...

Cheap beer...okay for cooking beer butt chicken. Not so good for drinking.

Natty really isn't too bad. Considering the price, and the competition.

If any of you ever end up in Utica, NY, get yourself a sixpack of Utica Club. Super cheap, super good.

But back to BAD beer.

Bad, Cheap Beers:

MGD
Miller Lite
Coors
Coors Light
Bud Light (Budweiser is tolerable)
Busch
Busch Light
Natural Ice
Milwaukee's Best
PBR
Stag

Just Bad:
Sam Adam's Light
Rolling Rock Green Light
Any "low-carb" beer

Brew 102! I think 102 was it's ranking out of the worst 100 beers. The Los Angeles brewery was almost on top of the 101 fwy. Sold for about $1 a six-pack 30 years ago. The brewery was demo'd in the early 80's, I believe. Nobody cried.

and I'm a cheap wino. Bud in a can forever baby. ;)

Hey I used to get that buckhorn stuff for 67 cents a six pack. And it tasted like it too. Peal Light is light in it loafers too.

Bimbleman's Light. "If you want a beer real bad, we've got a real bad beer". Anyone remember that?

Pabst

Lucky Lager

I used to get all ****ed up on that when I was 14

Do those beers have a puzzle inside the cap? ;)

I remember buying brew 102 for $2.09 a 12 pack. it was almost like non-alcoholic beer, you'd get full and get a headache before you ever got drunk.

Not cheap, but a couple of years ago someone gave me two six packs of Spaten. I almost gagged one down, ended up pouring the rest of em down the drain. For me to do that you know it must have been rotten putrid bitter garbage. but I'm sure someone with a "sophisticated" pallet will tell me it's good tho.

damn, that brings back memories...

Yuengling Chesterfield Ale. About the worst I've ever tasted. I can drink their lager, and I like their B&T, but their Chesterfield has to be made with NJ sludge water, even PA water doesn't taste that bad.

Is olympia beer still around?
I remember really liking the taste of olympia, but I was 14 at the time ;)

Oh yeah, don't forget Black Label.

Yep. I always wondered how I got to be so "lucky." :rolleyes:
