    Budweiser and High Life. High life gets the edge because it's good ice cold AND just 'cold', while Bud I only really like after a minutes in the freezer, or straight out the cooler. Also prefer the long neck bottles.

    Don't pour the bottle into a cup though. The smell of high life is not fun

    My usual go to AAL I guess would be Busch Light

    Had Tusker from Kenya a few years back. It wasn't too bad.

    I'm partial to rolling rock. Used to drink it in college and at 4.99 or 5.99 for a six of pounders, you can't go wrong.

    Previously commented on my favorites: Narragansett, GB Premium, Pabst, and Schlitz (60’s formula) all in cans (preferably 16 oz.). Although I would really like to try a Hauenstein. Is distribution limited to Minnesota only?

    There is a pretty darn good craft american adjuct lager called common sense kentucky common ale. It's brewed by usptate brewing and you could call them "upstart" for making this one of their flagship beer.s It's a pre prohibition style and the controversy concerning this beer is that there is a bit too much abv in it. Would it be more drinkable and more delicious if it had lets say 4.4 abv instead of 5.3? BUT it is a craft brewer making a beer that is using between 25 - 30% adjunct. ( if I am wrong on that percentage please let me know)

    I would keep some Michelob in the fridge if it still came in those old-school tear dropped bottles.

    None! The only AAL I've ever had is Budweiser (gross) and I don't plan on that changing any time soon.

    There is a store near me that sells Miller High Life in bottles. Every so often, especially during the summer, I'll stop in for a sixer.
    Rolling Rock is another I like.
    Coors Lite, Miller Lite, occasionally.
    When I was younger, I downed a bunch of Rainier (see my avatar!), Hamms, Olympia, PBR, and the like. But I don't think Rainier tastes the same as it did when brewed in Seattle, but I could be wrong. My college age daughter had some recently, and so I drank one of 'em, and wow, that stuff is just nasty now! :slight_smile:

    Maria, I have not had this beer but it reads kinda interesting. Is there a source which discusses the amount of adjunct used to brew this beer?

    Cheers!

    Jack

    P.S. This beer is an ale, not a lager.
