    I was debating this with a friend the other day, and honestly thought the whole discussion was quite fascinating. So I turn to you BA, what's your Mount Rushmore of cheap beer? (Rank them if you like 1-4 but it's not required). My List is as follows in no particular order:
    • Yuengling
    • Rolling Rock
    • Newcastle
    • Budweiser (bud heavy ofc not light)
    Just narrowly missing out is PBR. I'm sure it's not hard to see my geographical bias in this list haha.

    Narragansett makes some great cheap summer beers, just can never get them in my area unfortunately.

    This depends upon what the highest price point one considers cheap. Is $7.99 a 6 pack cheap?

    I'd personally preface it as more a national cheap brand or a regional cheap brand. Mostly stuff that you can get in 30's or that you drank in college. But feel free to take it any direction you want, only makes the discussion better.

    Guilty...... Lehigh Valley influence (Yuengling) and Jersey Shore (Corona). At least I don't fist pump.

    I also like Lord Chesterfield and Genny Bock. In fact where is it? The Genny Bock I mean. You know what happened? One year they put it out in December and now it's . . . "like January."

    Modelo Negro - $9 a six pack. Pretty good for $1.50 per beer.

    Bud light lime Tall cans - $2.69 for 24oz. $1.35 per beer. For some reason I like it out of the can but not really in the glass.

    Newcastle - still a great beer.
