The cheap beer thread

[pyonir]

So I usually pick up a case of cheap stuff when I buy a 6 or 12 pack of the good stuff (or my favorites). Living in MN we have a local brewery here called Gluek...so pick up a 24 pack of Gluek light for 7.99. Great stuff for cheap beer.

What's your cheap beer of choice? If you have one. (i'm currently unemployed, so cheap beer it is for now)

homebrew ftw

I really like this local stuff, called Beacon IPA or something like that, but being as it's a local brew, and it's Canada, it's like $10 for a 6-pack

Haven't gotten into that yet..but plan to. Does it come out to be pretty cheap to make your own?

 

[UNCjigga]

Stella FTW...for now!

Me and the roommate are starting to homebrew in a few weeks.

Yeah seriously. I have a little storage room that'd be perfect for putting a brewing kit in, kids can't get into the room and all that. Any links to decent homebrew kits/info?

Ugh I wish beer was better for you...I love it but it put a nice beer belly on my that I'm trying to lose...*sips his Fosters ESB*
As for cheap beer - used to LOVE PBR, nowadays I go for Miller highlife/lite if I'm hangin out w/ friends playing drinking games or something.

Natural Light from Walmart....

it was like $16.99 for a case of 30-plus cans when I was in Missouri.
sad to find out the "best deal" now here in LA is $16.99 for a case of 18/20 can.

Costs a to get started.Equipment and all that.Once you have everything you can brew enough that youll never have to buy it.

 

[andylawcc]

oh, as someone mentioned above, PRB is the my personal favorite cheap beer

otherwise, I don't have a problem with Milwaukee Best neither.

Um...but you'll eventually have to buy more product to brew with...is that relatively cheap?

 

[upsciLLion]

Henry Weinhard's is about as cheap as I'll go.

Steel Reserve or Colt 45. I actually like the taste of Colt, but Steel Reserve just needs to be chugged before you gag.

I was just looking at pricing on some English site, looks like $30USD for enough product to make 45-50 pints worth of beer. That's a hell of a deal considering how much a pint costs in a bar these days.

I have a job, so I buy 6-pack $4.99 Honey Brown or I may go nutz and pay $7.99 6-pack Samual Adams, damn sometimes I get crazy like that, wanting to spend money and all.

[Dr. Detroit]

Cheap and one of my favorite beers: Miller Lite

[Canai]

My beer pong beer (closest to 'cheap' that I drink) is Spaten.

Back when I was a foolish beer noob, I bough Coors light for beer pong. Every once in a while I'll get a 12 pack for when I go kayaking, but other than that, I'm a regular beer snob haha.
