So to what low will you sink in regards to beer drinking? Are there some beers you just won’t drink?
As admitted on another post, I’ll drink Bud Light. Heck, I’ve even drank Bud Light Lime on a golf course.
But I won’t drink malt liquor. No way. No Olde English 800, No Schlitz, no Clot 45.
What about you?
Iron City? Schaffer’s? Natty Light? PBR? Hamms? Natural Light?
You South Carolinians…always quick to jump to the fight! (Remember Fort Sumter?)
In defense of PBR, a can of it went with my dad to his grave, nicely tucked under his hand.
He once asked one of my brothers if he had any beer in his truck, my brother said yes but it’s hot. My father took it anyway, popped it open, took a sip and said, “Ahhh, perfect drinking temperature!”
Years ago when work was slow and I was dead assed broke I bought a 12 pack of Schaeffer for about $3.00 figuring it was better than nothing, Wrong. Every morning before work I’d drainpour the half can I wasn’t able to finish the night before. Now if I can’t afford or find decent beer I’ll drink iced tea or coffee.
i have said many times. i still like, yes actually like, budweiser, :-, i really don’t like guiness. oh, i really struggle when someone offers wine. ugh
I drink budweiser as well. mostly at sporting events or other outings where the selection are just the primary 4 or 5 big commercial lagers. Sometimes just around the house and garage I’ll go cheap and buy budweiser. I dont care for any of the lightbeers, but if someone offered I wouldnt say no. I dont buy them, but I do think coors light is the best of the lot. As for Mickeys, Colt45, and the like. Not so much.
I’m not a beer snob, and I am very far from a beer nazi. But I am not exactly a beer slut either. maybe a lil bit beer slut.
PBR has a great grassroots marketing program. nice to see an old label get revitalized like that. Maybe there is hope for Olympia.
If I am at someone’s house and they offer me a beer I will be appreciative of whatever they give me and I won’t complain. But I really dislike “Light” beers.
I do a lot of back packing and once after three days and four nights in the woods we stopped at a gas station (on the way home) and the “best” beer they had was MGD and it couldn’t have tasted better had Jesus himself handed it to me - pure gold. So I will say it does depend on the circumstances. I also admit to being a sucker for Corona and Lime while sitting on the Gulf. Normally, however, I’ll just as soon take one of my IPAs to just about anything.
Bud Light and a REAL lime is my go to, non-craft beer. Regular Bud isn’t too bad either. While I like my beer the best, I haven’t developed that beer snob attitude yet.
I usually drink homebrew, craft beers or imports. However, I have been known to buy a 12 pack of Michelob on occasion. If I go to someone’s house or a party and a beer is offered to me I will graciously drink it. As my dad has always said “free beer is good beer!”
I guess PBR is my low, though I agree it’s a pretty decent macro. I use to kindly accept any beer that was offered up with fairly minimal comments about my preferences; not anymore. Oddly enough I physically can’t tolerate light beer even if I wanted to be polite. If I drink a Coors light (yes I live in Coors country) within 30 minutes I can guarantee that I’ll be lying on the couch with major/violent stomach pain. Go figure. Although I don’t, I imagine that I could drink a dozen PBR’s with no discomfort. Otherwise the crappiest beer I’ve personally bought and consumed at home in the last ten years was a 6er of Avery (BIPA) Porter. Tea is my number one beverage and I far prefer plain ole crappy (Alvita) Chinese Green Tea to a crappy beer. Cheers, j
Marooned on an island with only a few cases of YUP, I’ll drink it.
Kinda like the story that says:"Ma’m, will you sleep with me for 1 million dollars? Sure! How about 10? What do you think I am, some kind of hooker? Well, yeah, we’ve already established that, we’re just haggling at this point.
Morale of the story? Learn to brew, and do it often. Maybe you won’t have to drink the dregs.
Me too, but I’d be quickly working on brewing palm wine!
For me, I have a sentimental spot for Milwaukees Best Light. Its my father in laws beer, so there are a lot of occasions I’ll accept one. And to be forthright, there’s not terribly much to criticize about it. There’s not terribly much about it at all! Best way I can describe it is that it is basically sparkling water flavored with the juice of canned corn. Its refreshing in its way…the same way sparkling water is. I can drink most macro lagers (to be honest I’ve never tried any malt liquor or anything lower than MBLight) but its typically in a social setting and they never leaving me wanting a second beer. Still, de gustibus non est disputandum! My tastes are remarkably proleterian when it comes to wine (stopping short of those ghastly sweetened or flavored wines), I actually quite like a number of the boxed wines just fine!
I am lucky. For only a dollar more than bud i can buy a case of yuengling. so that is my go to when cash is a little tight and homebrew is running low.
I’d say Fat Tire is about as low as I’ll go. I don’t judge others by what they drink…if you like, drink it…it’s OK with me. But I’ll drink water before I’ll drink a NAIL.
