    Whether from a can, bottle, or draft.... on a warm summer day/night I can easily crush 4-6:
    ` Schlitz (see avy)
    ` Schaefer
    ` Labatt Blue

    Your top three?

    Would this be any different without using 'crushable'? Isn't pretty much every AL relatively low in ABV and thin?

    I'm partial to Labatt Blue for reasons of nostalgia as much as anything.

    Not an adjunct, but a great, easy-drinking American Pale Lager is Victory's Home Grown American Lager. Pricier than an AAL 30-pack, of course, but 12-packs and cases are a lot cheaper than many craft beers.

    As near as I can tell they're all crushable and my preferences would depend on where I'm living. Currently the choices are . . .

    Yuengling Traditional Lager
    Hamm's
    Miller High Life

    My favorite AAL beer is Yuengling Lord Chesterfield*.

    Based upon a number of recent BA threads I am considering putting Hamm’s and Miller High Life on the ‘to do’ list.

    Cheers!

    * And yes, Lord Chesterfield is brewed using a lager yeast.

    So after reading the AAL blind study thread and seeing Hamms ranked crazy high i went ISO. Not easy to find down here but picked up last case at Kroger for 13 buckarooskis. Had one last night dated BB July 2017. Very good taste, surprised me. Didnt have the off putting high carbonation of a Sprite like the others do. No glycol feel like with Yuengling or aftertaste like MHL. It's there with PBR maybe a notch above FWIW.

    Is the date on the cardboard box a best by date?

    Cheers!

    Would a beer you dislike be crushable? I think not.

    MillerCoors' codes are what they still call "Pull Dates" (aka "best by/before"), as are the Pabst brands brewed at MC facilities.
    https://www.millercoors.com/sites/millercoors/files/HowToReadCodeDates.pdf
    Unfortunately, their secondary coding doesn't include the actual packaging date (which is common), so no way to know if the BB is based on 17 or 26 weeks.

    To me they would be Coors Extra Gold, High Life, and Hamm's.
    If Extra Gold isn't available, Banquet is a close enough substitute.
    If Michelob counts (it's supposedly all-malt now), it wins easily, though.
