Okay, so I have taken to cheaper beer in the last few months. I used to be a bit of a beer snob, but got into drinking Budweiser because it was a lot cheaper. First the 6 point stuff from Texas, and now just in general. My quest to find even cheaper beer led me to try Pabst Blue Ribbon. Stuff isn't half bad and at $7 for a 12 pack I can get into it. I'm scaring myself thinking I might be heading towards Natty Light and the butt end of a lot of beer jokes (never going to happen). Someone please tell me I'm not too far gone. What do you guys think of the stuff?


well beer snobs are like wine snobs. It all tastes like crap, but you can always make yourself feel better by paying loads for chick flavored "ale".

We drink Patron Platinum, runs about $200 a bottle. If I were to drink something that I knew tasted like a horses @ss I would hate to think I would pay big money for it:D

The very first beer I bought myself was a Pabst Blue Ribbon. I was 15 ( looked older ) riding the train from OKC to Houston for the first time on my own. Bought it in the dining car to go with my dinner of roast chicken with an orange sauce, roasted potatoes and green beans.

I will always remember that trip because not only was I feeling like a grown man between the beer and the woman flirting with me, but the freaking train derailed outside of Houston. No one was seriously hurt but it added that little something extra to the trip.

PBR has been huge in the rockabilly crowd for years. I used to drink it because it was the only beer at the car shows we went to in Austin and Vegas. That was around 2002 when it was just getting back around. Now it's cool for the hipster doofus crowd. I think it's supposed to make us think they could care less about their fathers money that pays for the Prius they have parked in the bar parking lot.

I'm an old (see cheap) beer aficionado. I used to drink Pearl when it was Pearl. It got bought by someone, Miller if I remember, and they started bottling the urine they put in all their beers. Not the same anymore.

I like Schlitz. It's pretty darn good. But I'm telling you the best "cheap" beer hands down is Old Milwaukee. Not that Milwaukee's best crap, I'm talkin one of the originals here. I used to pick it up at the Reasor's near my house but they stopped selling it a month or so ago. Now I grab it from the package store.

These old beers taste like beer. The new buds, coors, etc. have no flavor at all. But I like flavor, that's why I'm a Guinness man. But only on tap. It's just not the same from a bottle or can. Not even close. But for dinner and drinkin around the house or lake, Old Milwaukee.

I agree. I call it the Red Badge of Courage.

Well, I chime in on my favorite cheep beer. I like Stroh's light from the liquor store. You can get a 30 pack for around $19.00 and it is pretty good. American company as well! Try some!!
