Recommend me some semi-cheap beers!!!

[atom]

I searched through some threads, got some recommendations, but a lot of them seem to be more expensive here in California. For example the beers I usually drink now:

Sierra Nevada, Redhook and Sam Adams: $11 for a 12 pack

I'm looking for some alternatives in the same price range as I'm paying now.

for me
cheap : 3.99 for 6 (domestics)
mid: 4.99/5.49 for 6
good: 6.49/6.99 for 6 (imports)

so for mids... hollandia... bavaria.. killians red..red hook

thats about all i can get from the local stores

Molson Canadian is almost always under $10/12 here for bottles.

I can't drink more than that in one sitting though, after the 10th or 11th one, it just starts to taste bad.

I agree wholeheartedly!

Nonetheless, of the cheap cheap cheap beers that most people don't drink, I always thought that Black Label was pretty good. But, it depends on where it gets bottled. (I've had it while on vacation and thought it was horrible.)

In college, we always referred to them as "black labs" and bought them by the "kennel"

Rolling Rock. $5.99 for a sixer isn't that bad.

Haha yeah, I'm not looking for piss beers.

But almost every beer seems overpriced here. Molson over here would cost about $16 a 12 pack and Corona would run me $18 a 12 pack with tax!!! Not that I'd buy Corona anyways.

Holy ball sack. I'd be getting drunk nonstop if beer was that cheap here in CA.
$5.49 is "cheap" and if you want something good like Killian's it's about $7.49 ~ $8.99 for a sixer.

I'm an advocate of Michael Shea's if you like Irish Beer. It's $6/6 at a bottle shop or $15/case if you go to the distributer, least around here.

 

[pyonir]

Killian's is NOT good beer.


/mumbles under breath: cheap coors fake Irish beer

 

[monk3y]

Honey brown and Yeungling Black and Tan are really good buys.

these are Texas prices... i wasnt old enough to buy beer when i lived in CA

6.99 here gets Belhaven, Franziskaner, Murphys, Sierra Nevada, Sam Smith, etc..basically anything besides the Belgian shtit that cost as much more than wine
as far as cheap goes, hell ive seen 1.99--and, once, .99--for ridiculously bad beers like schaefer and steel reserve from ghetto ghetto stores

When you're poor the definition of "good stuff" adjusts accordingly. :beer:

 

[GroundZero]

look at the sales, and go from there

 

[TheNinja]

You can always try Coors(light or not), Bud(light), MGD(personally don't like it), Michelob(pretty good I think). They are mid priced beers to me. Anything more than like $8/12 is expensive. Then you have the cheapies, old mil, mil's best, bush light, pabst, schlitz, you get the idea.

Those all White cans with BEER on the side in black, it's like what 10 for a case :evil:
