ITT: you suggest to me cheap non-budweiser beer

[bob-o]

ok folks, the situation is that if i want a good beer, i know what to get. if i want quantity over quality, what cheap beer can be had that doesn't taste like excessively fizzy beer-flavored soda? anything with any substance that doesn't cost too much?

BEER SNOBS! A REDNECK ANSWER TO WINE SNOBS!

[Eater of Clowns]

Yeungling if you're in an area that has it.
Narragansett if you're in an area that has it.
Pabst Blue Ribbon.

[E.O.T.]

I'VE HAD THAT YEUNGLING STUFF

          and it's pretty frickin great. Probably only "Bud" cheap when it's close to home though.

MY PERSONAL FAVE

          currently is BALTIKA "9 grade"(see beer thread) in the 51oz bottle. Total win, 51oz's for 3.99, 8% (yeah!!) and tasty as hell.

Dundee Honey Brown. That's the cheapest microbrew we can get here, and it's GOOD.

Baltika is yummy. Red Stripe is another unoffensive bargain. 

[Sir Squid Diddimus]

Dale's Pale Ale and Mama's little yellow pils (both oskar blues brewery)
Hoffbrau
Magic Hat number 9
Sam Adams has some ok stuff sometimes
Allagash White
Sierra Nevada (sorta)
Hoegaarden
Wittekerke (cheapest of all these i think)

I think you guys are missing the point, as most of these suggestions are still sold by the 6-pack and not the 30-pack.

also, PBR is both absolutely disgusting and only for consumption by shitneck hipsters.

I usually go with Busch when I wanna drink something cheap from a can, although Miller High Life (champagne of beers, baby!) is also quite drinkable.

that said, if you're in an area where you can get either of them, Yuengling, Iron City, and the immortal Rainier are probably the best cheap american-brewed beers around, they're just not distributed nationwide.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

I am pretty keen on Iron City and Miller High Life, for cheap beers.

Although it's true, nothing touches Baltika #9 for pure kick-ass.

[-Kel-]

well now, if i want the really cheep beer i go for Coors light or rolling rock.

[Triple Zero]

Grolsch and Hertog Jan are pretty damn good and don't really cost you an arm and a leg ... over here :-P

If you want cheaper go for the Schultenbrau cans, unlike the Albert Heijn storebrand cans they don't contain sugar additives but just beer ingredients.

This information is useless if you don't live in the Netherlands.

[Pope Pixie Pickle]

I like the sierra Nevada. Its not cheap here tho.

Red stripe in this country is awful.

Grolsch is bad in cans here, the traditional flip top bottle is where its at.
Being on meds means beer is rationed. My one beer of the week better be a good one or imma be

I hate cheap lager as a rule, cos there is too much crap in it in the UK.

[fogukaup]

is hams the equivalent to pabst in quality and hipshit?

[East Coast Hustle]

not as hipster, but also even less drinkable IMO.

YMMV, however. And I haven't tasted Hamm's in many years so it's possible that it's improved.

Nope... not in the slightest. It's the water of beers!
