I'll never drink a light beer, ever. But I will drink mainstream beers (my favorites are Yuengling, Labatts, and High Life) in the kind of situation you're describing.

My day-to-day beer is Labatt Light. I'll get a six pack of an IPA on weekends. If I'm out and having a beer, I'll usually go with an IPA - preferably something I haven't had before.
WhoTom Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 I prefer craft beers but I'm not a snob about it. 1
RaoulDuke79 Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 (edited) Different strokes for different folks I suppose. I prefer IPA's, but still have a keg of Budweiser on tap. Edited September 3, 2018 by RaoulDuke79

RaoulDuke79 Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 Hey we'll be heading down to renfaire in October, if you wanna meet at swashbuckler Let me know the date. Most of my weekends are tied up at the kids soccer games, but I'd like to make something happen.

Greybeard Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 Does he like Yuengling? That's pre-prohibition tasting beer. How about Vernor's ginger ale? LoL... ? Pre-prohibition? How would you know, I didn't think you were that old. I think there was an entire thread on Vernor's once. Sadly, you have just ignited a craving for Vernor's and Ice cream. 1
sodbuster Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 Man, all the hate in this thread for the Screamer. I love my craft brews, especially IPAs and sours, but half of the beer I have on hand right now is GCA. It's really the only "cheap beer" I'll buy anymore.
Johnny Hammersticks Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 Depends. If I’m planning on drinking a bunch of beer (NFL Sunday), I’ll drink Miller Lite. If I’m going to just have a couple beers, I’m more likely to choose a craft beer. I enjoy and appreciate the best of both worlds. 2
row_33 Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 I have never understood why so many people drink cheap bland beer like coors, blue, Genesee and bud. Craft beers have much better tasting. Buffalo has some really good ones. Flying Bison and Ellicottville make some good beer. Beer is not a beverage to feel superior over. maybe you were being ironic.
RochesterRob Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 I prefer craft beers but I'm not a snob about it. I'll drink most anything in a social situation but what I prefer when I am home by myself perhaps watching a game is an entirely different matter. Honestly, I would rather spend extra money on a good cut of meat for the grill than spend on a small pack of craft beer but that is not to say I would never buy craft beer.
Jrb1979 Posted September 3, 2018 Author Posted September 3, 2018 I don't feel superior over beer. I just can't stand to drink Genessee, Labatts or Bud. I don't like the taste. If I an going to drink a beer after working outside I will go for a Yuengling.

Our grocery store has a great craft beer selection, most of which is too pricey for me. But when they run a sale on something I like, I stock up. It's still not as cheap as Bud, but it's worth it to me. Also, I only drink one or two a day, so that helps keep the cost down. When we go on camping trips and I'm drinking 4-6 a day, I go for something lighter.
stinky finger Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 After (or while) mowing the lawn, working outside, splitting/stacking wood, etc. I am not going to drink an Alchemist or Lagunitas.

But you have to have some good watery beer in the fridge to quench your thirst after doing some work outside. I guess what I’m wondering is: Has the OP ever done any work outside? I enjoy me some Harpoon IPA among others. However, I did pick up a lonely looking 6 pack of Pabst several months ago. It was 5.99 and of my dad's favorites back away's. Gotta be honest, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Best of the cheaper beers....by far IMO. 1
RaoulDuke79 Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 I think I'm going to have some Budweiser now. I need something cold that I can drink fast because its feels like its 106 degrees outside. 1
Augie Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 After puking my guts out on genny cream ale in the 70's I can't even stand the smell of it... or ford mavericks for that matter. I wouldn't steam crabs with some of the beers mentioned. I used to drink Little King splits at Happy Hour in college. Briefly. I didn’t need to do it too many times to discover it was no coincidence that the most excruciating headaches of my life were to follow. I just might opt to die of thirst before having another one. I get that people love craft beers, but in summer heat I like a nice light (and often cheap) beer....but it has to be COLD. The key to beer is COLD! I preferred Molson, but I didn’t have a problem with Labatts, but I have a Canadian buddy who calls it something....I can’t type here.
