I have a new favorite cheap beer.

Man! I haven't had a Genesse Cream Ale since 1982 when I was stationed in Gloucester City, NJ. A good cheap beer they used to make in Texas was Pearl Cream Ale but I haven't seen it in years. Lonestar was a good cheap beer before it became famous in country music songs but only when it was in bottles.

Anyone knows if they still make Stroh's?

Another favorite I used to drink when I was stationed in Seattle was Heidleburg Alt but the brewery was bought, sold and bought and sold out of existence.

As the resident Stroh's connoisseur I can assure you it is still made, but it is now owned by Pabst.

Genny is still around up here in Rochester. Utica Club switched formats and is now brewing Saranac. Far better beer. They just had a fire at the brewery a few months ago, but I think they're still going strong.

I was in Atlanta a couple weeks ago and attended a beer festival. Of the 100 or so fantastic beers available, the one that they ran out of was PBR.

PBR is hipster swill around here. I'll drink it if it's around but I would never buy a case, especially when compared to stuff like Lionshead. (Got another case tonight, $11.99 well spent!)

Miller high life is another big time hipster brew. All of a sudden my dad and uncles are cool!

When you say case of lionhead are you talking 24 beers? Ive never seen lionhead out here in socal
 
You want a good tasting cheap beer? Look for S L Gregory's. They make a dark ale and an export ale. Both are mighty tasty. This coming from a brewer and a lover of great beers! I can get the S L Gregory at $2.99 a six pack! When ya want to go cheap but still want to taste your beer, this is the way to go.

I will start the search for Lionshead. My personal go to cheap beer was Natural Light. $13.99 for a 30 pack, a suitcase if you will. Have had a 3 1/2 suitcase weekend before (do not recommend). however now with all this NATTIE advertising they have priced them selves out of my market at $16.99 for a 30 pack. the search is on for Lionshead.

thanks for the tip!

My college get drunk cheap beer is Keystone Light
My get drunk beer of choice is rolling Rock Light
My favorite beer is Founders Dry Hopped Pale Ale or their Centennial IPA
 
I honestly will not move to a place I can not get this.

It's by far my fav none craft beer. Cheap, tasty, easy to find and oh so refined for an american style lager.

I think I'll have another now :)
 
From the land of sky blue waters ..... There's Hamm's all over around here and I think it's making a comeback. I'll head back to where I went to college to meet friends and there are 21 and 22 year old students drinking Hamm's and Hamm's light at bars. It's crazy. A good friend of mine buys it all the time. I think it's about $11/case.

I still have a fond place in my beer-heart for Hamm's. Haven't looked for it in a long time--don't even know if it's still available. But back in college during the early 80s, you couldn't beat it for $5/case on sale at Kroger :chk

Lionshead is some good stuff! I found out about it maybe 2 years ago at a local bar I goto for happy hour all the time. They where selling it $1/bottle and if you could answer 5 of the bottle cap puzzles you got a free t-shirt that said " Best Head in Town" Needless to say I didn't think it was a good idea to wear that in public.:tu

that's exactly what I was thinking.

I know in college my weapon of choice as Artic Bay. I haven't seen that one in years.

If you can find it since it's seasonal try Carolina brewing company Spring Bock...... Delicious!

Pabst sold all of their breweries .. if something has Pabst on the label it is contract brewed for them by Miller.

Arctic Bay? Didn't they have a bottle opener formed into the bottom of the bottle? Great stuff and cheap!

I have not seen that stuff since the early '90s.

Now, nothing but the Champagne of beers for me in a pinch (Miller High Life). So bad it's good...
