What do your prefer?

Used to be a Bud Light cheap beer guy when I was younger, have made the switch to Miller Lite.

FYI, I'm talking Pilsner, not counting Yuengling in this debate.

Go!

Bud Light. I'll drink any of them, tho. I like a good Busch Light or a PBR. Not a huge fan of Miller Lite. It would be my last choice.

Miller Light, although if you put them all in front of me and I didn't know which is which, I wouldn't be able to taste a difference. Usually only drink them at weddings. Probably haven't had any of them besides Miller Light in years.

Busch light for super cheap. But when the "big 3" are on sale at the grocery store for the same price I'll usually go bud select or mich ultra. Gotta watch them carbs! Usually pbr is the cheapest at bars down here so I will imbibe in those also when I'm trying to save a buck.

Coors Lite. Also sad there was no Keystone Light option. 30 pack of stones was the best in college.

Miller Lite. And I can actually taste the difference between ML, BL, and CL.

Reminds me a bit of an old thread from years past. It went something like "Going to Las Vegas, where can I find the cheapest burgers?".

Really?

Reps to SnotBubbles.

Yuengling. All the rest basically taste the same. For really cheap Schaefer.

Old Milwaukee Light, 6 pack tall boys $4.49! I look like cousin Eddie in the summer with the plastic strap hooked to my belt! Lol

Give me Coors. I'm not sure I've ever had a Michelob. The only one of those that I truly hate is Miller.

Mich Ultra

Bud, possibly Miller, and certainly Michelob are not "cheap" beers but rather middle shelf. I think Mich Ultra is the best, although maybe Labatt's since it's in the same category as those.

Actual cheap beer is BLD, Keystone, Natty Light, Milwaukee's Best...and several that are actually way worse than those. Only go near these if you are a college student on a budget. Of those 4, Natty and Beast were barely drinkable even when I really wanted to get drunk.

I should not have counted Mich Ultra as cheap. It's higher end.

Miller Lite is middle shelf, IMO.

Busch Light and Natty Light........low shelf. But for those counting carbs....good choices.

High Life?

Had Genesee for the first time last week, that wasn't awful.

I'll get High Life if the bar has it. Other than that I'll go Miller Lite if I want cheap.

Mantooth and I found our new favorite spot in CLE on opening day last spring. You can get a tall Genesee and a shot for $3.00.

PBR is by far the best cheap beer.
