    I just had this discussion with a friend of mine today and we agreed that Coors Light is the best if we have to have this style. Can't remember the last time I did though.

    I don't give a shit what anybody says, Labatt hits the spot at times. Sometimes I don't want to think about what I'm drinking -- I just want a beer. Labatt covers that.

    As far as CRAFT adjunct lagers, I've had a couple (I think), but don't recall what they are.

    Yeungling is probably the best but can't get it in California. PBR is my go-to from back in the day. Bud can be occasionally good but I feel like you need to get a "good batch," which is like playing the lotto. Coors light is pretty commonplace in SoCal but tastes closer to water. Call me weird but I think Steel Reserve is not half bad for what it is.

    I will never forget the aftertaste and hangover the day after my 21st birthday. PBR pitchers on the house are a trap.

    I'm gonna rep PA on this one: Lionshead. The stuff actually tastes somewhat pilsner-like (that's what it claims to be) and the bottle caps have puzzles on them too!

    Stroh's AAL for this guy if we're going for economic soundness.

    Gansett locally.

    I did enjoy Natty Boh during a trip to Baltimore this year; could have just been all the local publicity, but it was an easy drinking enjoyable beer.

    Schlitz Gusto hands down. It has just the right amount of bitterness for the style.

    Stag is pretty damn good, actually. It is by far my favorite AAL. Only problem is i have to cross the river to go get some since it no longer makes its way to Kentucky. Plus that can!

    Yuenngling, but its not sold here. So usually Coors Banquet, which really isn't too bad.

    I've grown to appreciate them over the years. I don't mind normal Banquet, Bud, or High Life at all.

    I don't think normal Michelob counts as it's now all-malt, but Coors Batch 19 tastes pretty similar to it and it's definitely an adjunct lager. I had a Tusker at Disney Animal Kingdom and it was damn good on a 100 degree day in the summer.
    Never had a 1960's Schlitz, but I might have to buy some if I ever see it.
