Do you purchase and drink AAL beers?

Yeah...just last week while out of town not only did I seek out a couple of the better craft breweries but started the day at a dive bar because they carried Miller High Life on tap which I rarely see anymore. Some days I prefer an AAL to be honest.

 

I voted yes, but my answer would be more accurately, "sometimes". Few and far between. Sometimes I want one and it fits the moment. But no, they are not in my regular rotation.

 

I voted no. I don't buy AALs from the macro brewers just because they are the Big Guys (I appreciate that they make a quality product), I just don't care to have mostly flavorless beers in my fridge.

 

I avoid lagers as a general rule.

 

Not frequently, and when I do, it's usually Miller High Life. First beer I ever had that I actually liked.

 

I voted yes. I enjoy an AAL sometimes.

 

I drink AALs and buy from the store a few times a year at best and also when at a bar with friends. Maybe only 5% or less of my total beer consumption however is AALs. Sure, I like the craft brewed fresh ones more than macros for the most part but I don’t like to spend 2x the cost on craft AAL or pseudo craft Mexican lagers. when I’m in the mood for an ice cold watery beer I just buy the macro cheap stuff. My go-tos are High Life Dos Equis, Natural Light, Coors Banquet, Miller Lite in no particular order.

 

I drink a lot of High Life.

 

No. Negative. Nix. Uh-uh. Nope-a-rama. Nay.

If I'm at a cookout or a show, and someone stuffs one in my hand, I'll drink it out of politeness, but otherwise I do not touch the stuff, let alone spend money on that pisswater.

 

Completely depends on the environment. I drank a Founder’s Porter while rippin’ it at the pool table and immediately experienced a “never again” moment

I also think nowadays a good percentage of microbrews are arguably worse than a High Life or Yuengling so often it’s best to just stick with the reliable AAL’s and not put any thought into it

 

I simply have no reason to drink these beers when so many better options are readily available.

 

Up until about a year ago my answer would be no, but lately I have been drinking Macro AAL’s fairly regularly.

I stick to mainly High Life, PBR or Hamm’s. I still buy Craft AAL’s occasionally, but with the big boys being sometimes half the price and the taste not being shockingly different I don’t see the reason to spend the extra money.

 

At 17.99 I always keep a 30 rack of Jenny on hand. Its great when you want to crush a few 4.5% on a nice summer day.

 

Purchase? Yes. Drink? No. AAL’s are for cooking brats. They are to beer what cooking wine is to wine. You don’t want to find yourself drinking it.
