Cheap bland tasting beer.

  A game will affect my drinking plan.  Almost better to have coca-cola and rum to relax and not need to visit the piss sink during a crucial moment in a drive versus downing a couple quarts of fluid that will come calling within the hour.

that's a good idea.  i've tried to do that before, but i ended up drinking mixed drinks like they were light beers.

Goose Island makes good beer.    All their beers were good.  Blue point toasted lager is another good beer.    I liked all the Kona brewing lines.

I'm old and poor, so Natural Light is delicious to me!

It's worse if you're home too, that rum to coke mixture goes for 20/80 to 70/30 pretty quick to eventually just being a splash of coke for coloring depending on how bad we're losing.

i have to be careful if i'm making mixed drinks at home to watch the game.  after 2 i'm well on my way, and that lasts me the first quarter.

was it from lockport?  my wife brought home a six pack of mango beer, and it wasn't terrible at all.

I think my friend made it.

Tradition at my house is a Bloody mary around 1130 while gametime snacks are being prepared.   Then a beer or two then it goes as the Bills go.

  If I am home I will have a light beer or two.  The fact that I eat also during the games means I fill up to where I don't over drink.  May not stay buzzed for long but I get satisfaction out of good food, too.  I very seldom have mixed drinks at home if there is no company.

Love the Toasted Lager. I got nervous when they partnered with Anheuser Busch, but it's still just as good. That along with Yuengling and Shiner Bock are my current go-to's.

Guess I am one of the few that drinks all kind of beer..all the time! 

 

In my fridge at this very moment...from light and crispy tart to hop heavy ...all in cans for the most part..

 

1) Genny Cream  

2) Corona

3) Bud Light 

3) Cigar City Florida Cracker ( white/wit )

4)  Veil Brewing Never Fear Gose

5) Sweetwater Alter Ego Saison( most consumed  beer by far)

6) Boulevard Tank 7 Saison and Victory Sour Monkey..only two bottles of each as I love the beers but the ABV is too high for regular consumption.

7) Dogfish 60 minute...classic, lovely IPA..right hop balance, low ABV for an IPA ( 2nd most consumed beer)

? A bunch of different Sour IPAs from Veil Brewing here in Richmond..combines two styles I love

 

Also have a bunch of Flemish Red Ale's , Brett Saisons and Pumpkin Saisons in large format.

 

And yes, my beer fridge at any one time  has generally at least 4 cases of beer in it..Bills season don't want to run out!!!

Seriously, all these beer snobs are starting to get pretty annoying.  You realize that taste and taste preference is 100% subjective, right?  Maybe, just maybe, they drink bud light because they think it taste better.  Couldn't it really be just that simple?

 

It's funny, you buy a bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue and you get way less flavor and taste (IMO) than you get in a bottle of Johnnie Walker Black.  But in this case, the Blue is over 2x more expensive than the Black.  And you can say that about a lot of scotches.  But with beer it's the exact opposite.  What gives?  Who is right?

I've only drank Bud light when it was on sale and i was financially strapped.    Not to say I won't drink it but it's not my preferred beer at an open bar.   But I'll throw $3.95 up on the counter in change and walk out with miller high life and enjoy every one of those champagnes of beers.   Then go take  a sip of an expensive IPA and not even finish it.   

 

It is all subjective, and I don't think that it's snobby to talk about what you like and what you don't.   I can't drink Jack Daniels, i've actually boiled hot dogs in it rather than drink it, but Jim Beam and coke, sure anytime.

Much more discriminating in my old age.  But when I was in my teen years,  on Wednesday nights in the summer at Uncle Sam's it was penny a beer and dime a shot.  You could drink anything for a penny a glass back then.

I read the title as "Cheap Blond Tasting Beer" and thought it was another "would ya" thread.

Wait! If you’re old, I may be........dead already! 

 

Watching the Bills this preseason did not feel like heaven.....

[BillsFanNC]

Whatever you enjoy then I say drink up!  However, lets also not pretend that macro american light lagers are something different than what they are: mass produced, cheaply made (with corn and rice adjuncts) bastardized versions of classic european lagers.  If that's what you enjoy then more power to you. I'll have an ice cold one or few myself every now and then on a hot day after yard work. There's a time and place to enjoy all the styles.

And randomly dumping hops into a vat of beer and calling it "Craft" isn't always a good thing.  I've had IPAs that were disgusting because people haven't learned how to balance flavors they just pour and pray.    

 

IPAs are the most overrated beer in existence IMO.

 

They sell...that's why they are everywhere.  There's very few craft breweries that don't brew an APA and/or IPA because to do otherwise would be to ignore what the craft beer drinking public wants. 

 

And trust me, there is absolutely nothing random about what hop varieties brewers "dump" into their beer. Especially for styles that are intended to showcase hops like an IPA.

Tell us more about the California Gold Rush, Papaw!

Seriously, that's some cheap booze. Nice work.

I drink Bud heavy. Bud light when it's hot outside. The vast majority of the fancy beer IMHO taste like fermented turtle piss.

Yeah I was young and poor but I never stooped so low as to drink Genesee cream ale or Labatts. 

How about Natty Ice?
