    I looked up the awards the GABF has given for Ajunct lagger. How the hell did PBR beat Narragansett in 2011? did they consider sucking a natural part of its style guideline?

    I simply can't afford to buy a case of craft beer each week, so I go for PBR - the least offensive tasting among the cheapo AAL's. And a bit of nostalgia thrown in there, too.

    HA, get gansette if you can find it. It one-ups PBR on all levels and is usually pretty dirt cheap.

    I drink PBR as my go to during the week as I am and Automotive technician and it does pay near what is should being most everyone on this site relies on a guy like me to make it to their job everyday so with that said and out of my system it is well within my budget how ever I am on vacation this week and I am using this time to drink a different 6er a day as going somewhere is out of the question. This is why I drink PBR Not that any one cares but

    PBR is disgusting. A buddy I work with buys 2 6-pack tall boys every day and drinks them all. Yea they are cheap and will get you drunk but i mean c'mon, you could spend the same price ($10) and get a nice 6er of way better beer with a higher alcohol content that will get you just as drunk.

    ...and you won't hate yourself in the morning.

    However, the worst beer in the world goes to keystone ice.

    I don't drink it or any AAL's, not because I'm a beer snob, I just don't like them.... If I go somewhere that just has BMC selection I drink water...

    I've never understood the idea behind a "light/lite beer". I do not drink any beer in that style. Lagers are starting to come to the craft side, but they still make me think crap adjunct and with today's craft selection, why drink anything that is similar.

    In my opinion, craft beer people taste their craft. It's about the journey and not the destination.
    Yellow fizzy crap adjuncts are drunk...mostly by drunkards...and with no authentic care to taste as long as they get to intended destination.
