Best "Cheap" Beer You've Had

I really like Smuttynose Robust Porter. It was definitely under $2 a bottle. (Closer to $1.75). It is a very solid and drinkable porter. http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/141/622/

 

Summit Saga is the world's best $1.25 IPA

 

This is going to be subjective thread depending of definition.

Old Style - so many good times and great memories

Busch Signature - no shit. Surprised the heck out of me. Was given a blind glass pour. Not bad. At 8.50 a 12pk, was not the best beer I've had, not close, but for a cheapie, more taste than most.

My winner however is Warsteiner. At $12.99 a 12 pack, it is sessionable, tasty and a great value.

Cheers!

 

Best "cheap" 12 oz.bottle I've had was Lagunitas Sucks at 9.99 for a sixer.
Best "cheap" bomber I've had was Hop Stoopid for $3.99.

 

Probably Yuengling. If you're having a party around here, this will please most people and is close to $1 a bottle.

 

Can't wait to try it!!!!

My favorite would be FW Union Jack IPA... readily available for $9 a 6 pack here...

 

Plenty. At the cheaper end is Sierra Nevada and New Belgium, SN for $1/12oz at case price, New Belgium for a couple dollars cheaper.

For $10-11/6, you could get any of these available to you- Stone, Founders, Deschutes, Great Divide, Lagunitas, O'Dell, Oskar Blues, Victory, DFH, Ballast Point, Summit, Schlafly, Boulevard, the list goes on.

 

Sucks is a slap to the face of "Wale" Hunters!

 

Old Style Lager for over 30 years now. Don't drink it quite as often as I used to, but if I'm at a restaurant or bar that doesn't have a micro brew that interests me, I will get an Old Style.

 

Yuengling - any style

 

Around the $1.50 range, Victory, Brooklyn and Sierra all come to mind. Specifically Headwaters, Brooklyn Summer and SNPA.

 

Full Sail, it was on sale for $6.79 the other day, can't beat that.

 

Widmer Upheaval is $6.99 a sixer here and thats pretty damn tasty. I've seen Laurelwood Workhorse for $7.99, also damn tasty.

 

Yuengling Traditional Lager and their Back and Tan Porter. Goes down good with burgers and hot dogs on a hot summer day! Plus 6 dollars a sixer doesn't hurt either.

 

If a $9 sixer is cheap then I'd probably go with Smuttynose IPA or something from Great Lakes.

A step down, Pilsner Urquell is about $7/six-pack around here and I maintain it's excellent.

Finally, if it were available year-round, Genny Bock at $8/twelve-pack would be in my fridge all the time.

 

Busch, or the new Busch Signature Copper Lager

 

Schlitz for me. Get it for about .80 a can in Southern California. The ultimate lawnmower beer.

 

Used to be able to get Victory Storm King for $10/6er. Pretty sweet.

Other vote would be pre-4pack Bigfoot.

 

I recently visited Washington state. On a short layover at the Portland airport, I tried an IPA by Laurelwood called Work Horse. Never even heard of Laurelwood but this was world class. Upon arriving in Spokane and visiting Total Wine I saw sixers of Work Horse for only 6.49. I picked up 2 and drank them that day. We have tons of awesome IPA's here in SoCal but absolutely nothing that good for that cheap.
