What's Your Guilty (Beer) Pleasure?

I don't always drink crappy beer...but when I do...I prefer a Dos Equis. Stay thirsty.

 

I also don't believe in the term guilty pleasure, but I have no problem saying that High Life and Old Style are still two of my favorite beers, and in the end, volume-wise, I probably put more of those two down than anything else. The 30-pack of cans for $11.99, if you can find it, or even $13.99 is too good to pass up and stay in your fridge forever.
Also got into Modelo lately, especially these neat 24-oz. bottles they have.

 

Ice cold any of the following:

Green bottle Heineken, Stella, Pilsner Urquell (I like the skunkyness)
Yeungling
XX Amber
Bohemia
Strohs

and brass monkeys (40oz malt liquor and OJ), mixed in the 40 bottle.

 

That sounds really good.

 

I like XX Amber myself. I thought I might be the only one. Pilsner Urquell is a good beer as well. I don't care for the skunk so I go for the cans.

 

Yup. My girlfriend's roommate moved out and left a couple 12ers of Shandy behind (her dad works in the big beer industry) and they were a lifesaver on hot days.

 

I still pound do Moosehead on many occasions...especially on the golf course! Great beer for that.

 

I don't see the problem with drinking good beer in the shower.

 

Magic Hat is surpisingly good, as long as I don't think about the fruit.

 

Ditto, drink it all the time while golfing. Never feel good about it but it goes down like lemonade

 

I'll drink some ice cold Budweiser, Stella, Fosters in the oil can. Sometimes its just about time & place and you can't get that craft beer

 

Heady Topper in the shower. That's all I'm gonna say.

 

I don't have any guilty pleasures. If I like something, it's good.

 

High Life

But in the words of Patti Smith: " I have no guilty, I see pleasure!"

 

you know, for all the hate that it gets, i can easily down a bottle of southern tier creme brulee stout and enjoy every sip while im drinking it. and it's not like i haven't had any world class stouts before to compare with (i actually enjoyed creme brulee better than both Dark Lord and Chocolate Rain....) but i guess i can handle the fact that it is a diabetes bomb more than others. I'm not saying it's a world class stout, but you know for it's availability, i'll buy it up any day compared to a lot of other shelf stouts available to me. I had it on tap recently, and it was even more amazing on tap (it was actually less sweet on tap, a bit more complex, almost tasted more towards a super-sweet version of their tragically retired Mokah).

So yeah, after an amazing year of getting to try some epic stouts such as Rare, CBS, Black Tuesday, Huna, BCVanilla, Uncle Jacobs, etc.... I can still say that I still love Creme Brulee. Well shit.

 

Pumking or whole hog pumpkin

 

PBR, High Life, Rolling Rock, Corona are all welcome in my fridge/cooler. And I've been known to dabble in some malt liquor of the 40oz variety from time to time

 

hoegaarden. im not ashamed of it per say as it isn't bad but its a light, floral, masses-pleasing wheat beer and i can't help but feel guilty buying it.

 

Miller high life and Pabst. Also Pacifico when eating good fish tacos.

 

I don't have one. Why waste money on average beer when great beer is only slightly more expensive.

I do drink guinness but it is not a guilty pleasure merely the best of a bad lot if I'm in a boozer that stocks only macro.

 

Coors Extra Gold. It's my camping beer, and it definitely tastes better from the can than it does in a pint glass. $18 for a 30 pack. Yum!

 

Corona/Landshark with a shot of tequila.

 

I'm with some on here, and don't consider it a "guilty pleasure" to step outside of craft. But I get the gist of the topic.

For whatever reason, if I'm in the mood for a beer directly after work, I'll brownbag a tall boy Keystone. Keystone is not even my go-to BMC style, so I really can't explain it. Go-to BMC is Miller Lite if I'm at a bar with nothing else (which unfortunately is most of the bars where I live). Hammered some of those this wknd watching the UFC fight at the closest bar, and actually enjoyed the hell out of it.

A cool thing to try: I drank a Six of St. Arnold's Ellissa IPA at a get together one evening (took my glass). Was out of beer and didn't wanna go back into town for more. Started bumming Miller Lites and pouring into my glass. After that six of Ellissa IPA, the Lite took on a Hefe/American Wheat type flavor and aroma, and even almost the mouthfeel. Decent banana to it. I was blown away by that. Not sure if it only works with SA Ellisa IPA + Lite, but maybe try a similar mix and see if it was "just me, or...."

 

Also, hot spring or summer day here on the TX gulf coast, boiling crawfish and munchin' on boudin: Corona/Dos Equis w/ lime.

 

If it comes down to it, I don't mind MGD or Heinekin in the right circumstances. I still can't drink any of the Bud or Coors products, and Miller Lite is disgusting.
When Yeungling comes back to Massachusetts next spring, I'll have to reexamine it to see if it will have any sort of place around my drinking habits.

 

Well, I have to say Honker's Ale; really like that beer. But compared to what the others mentioned, does it count? Like the guy earlier in the tread said.

 

Newcastle Brown Ale - it's my go to if there's no craft available at a venue or restaurant

 

Mine is Third Shift Lager. For some odd reason its the perfect Lager to my palate. I buy it by the case but it seems to unimpress most.

 

Corona with a lime. It's the only time I won't look over my glasses at you and ask "why did you put that fruit in my beer?"

 

Michelob Ultra, when I drink a few beer during the day I try and keep the ABV down, I get sleepy.

 

Don't really have any unless you count Trader Joe's Boatswain HLV, but I don't feel guilty about drinking it.

I drank enough bad beer before craft came along to last me a lifetime. No need to add any to that total.

 

I like drinking in my underwear? j/k

geez I do not have any... I drink anytime I want to.

Not had a miller lite in 20 years.

 

I drink stouts in the morning and call them breakfast stouts, so no one judges me.

 

Stella
PBR
Dos Equis Amber

All are certainly not very good beers, but I have been known to crush a few.

 

um, its not a particular brand of beer. But, its that I get WAY too excited when I get a case on specials. Wether it is a case of Highlife for 9.99 or SNPA for $20. I get this really giggly feeling.

 

Not guilty. I do enjoy hard ciders during the fall/winter Samuel Smith's Organic Hard Cider, and Angry Orchards are both tasty.

 

Coors Extra Gold. $17 for a 30 pack, and that's my go-to camping beer.

 

I enjoy blue moon and i'm not above drinking a bmc if the circumstances are right.

 

Have to say Landshark, it's tolerable with a group of non craft drinking friends (those who think Dos XX is exotic and crafty

 

I have to say Blue Moon, Boulevard Wheat. Mostly during the summer months.

I dabble in Bud Light but not much in the last year.

Boulevard Wheat on draft is quite enjoyable though.
