    Sounds stupid probably to most of the beer snobs around (I'm typically one of them), but I get adjunct cravings every now and then (Random note: I used to think they were called Ad[vertisement]Junk).

    I had a PBR after I was four beers deep a couple weekends ago. It was my first one. Now, I was tipsy, but I actually really enjoyed it. Then again, the beer I had before that was a Bud Light ... so in comparison to that, it was awesome.

    This thread is just stupid. I'm just asking, have you ever craved an adjunct?

    No. But I do drink an old-school beer out of nostalgia now and then. Something cool about drinking what your dad or granddad used to drink.

    I desire a Narragansett Lager on quite a few occasions. Find one you like and if the mood calls for it, drink it. Drink what you enjoy.

    Absolutely. I enjoy them in the right spot....such as after hockey in the locker-room...on the golf course...etc...not saying there would not be better options but I enjoy them just fine in these spots....

    There is always a time and place for adjunct beers, I personally do not buy them though. If it is what is offered, I don't complain.

    I'm drinking a Miller High Life now, had lots of Pabst, but also keep SN's Torpedo on hand. Have lots of Yuengling when I go to any bar. Was at a beer tasting in Chicago and had some great beers, but then, I was in Chicago, so I also had an Old Style. *shrug* Whatever I feel like at the moment or have in the fridge for the week.

    I would say the only one I have ever craved is a Mickey's. I use to love grabbing one of those and taco bell late at night before I really got into craft beer

    Not really. I never even enjoyed them back in the days when I really only drank to get drunk and had no palate for beer at all, so it's no surprise that I never crave them now. If I want something refreshing and simple to drink, I'll reach for a pilsner, witbier, or kolsch.

    I actually struggle with lagers, even the good ones, to me they are hard to drink, to smooth, easy drinking beers for me are the hardest to drink.

    Not that I ever really crave them, but I can enjoy a Grain Belt Premium from time to time.

    I've been wanting a PBR for about a week, but I just haven't bothered buying any. I instead went to my bottle shop and got me some stuffs.

    Last pool party of the summer, I wanted Miller High Life like you wouldn't believe. PBR cravings are not uncommon

    You'd be surprised how damn good Yuengling lager is after fishing on a hot day

    Sometimes at a tailgate I get the itch to pound some Natural Light. That can be a very refreshing beer on a hot offshore fishing trip too. Damnit, now I want 1 or 2 or 12. :slight_frown:

    I know what you mean! Sometimes for me, a Coors hits the spot, but then again that means Bud Lite or Miller hits the spot just as well. I'm no huge fan of macro-breweries by any standard, but I say if you like it, drink it.

    Yes indeed -- love me a Two Hearted or a Racer 5. Two of my favorites.

    It's been nearly a week since I've had an IPA. Better get on that.

    There are definitely situations where a tasteless adjunct is desirable. Baseball game in the heat of summer, after cutting the grass, perhaps during a backyard cookout, etc. I never really crave them, but in certain situations it can work (although give me a Sierra Nevada Pale in any of those situations and I'm much happier). Recently I've been craving Heineken after watching an episode of Ultimate Factories on the flagship Heineken brewery. Naturally I bought a 24 of cans and have been downing them in a Pilsner glass like it's my job.

    I sometimes find myself wishing that Yuengling was sold in Canada.

    I've also been known to enjoy High Life now and then during the summer.
