Where are you getting the prices from?

And why can't I get PBR or Yuengling?

online quote from a distributor...I'd assume prices would be pretty much the same.

And your thread made me think, i honestly have not ordered a Killians since before I was 21. I think I may have to order one next time I go to the lodge.

Pabst is apparently $61 a keg, Yuengling $81.

I'll take the Pabst. The savings are fantastic.

Do you have any kegs to trade in? Knocks about 30 off the price per keg you turn in. If it's a frat party, get the cheapest you can get so you can maximize your beer for everyone.

Definitely a Micro brew. I'm looking at getting a kegerator and buying some Brooklyn Black Chocolate stout.

I find it hard to believe Yuengling would only be $81, when it's $10-$11 for a twelve pack. Yuengling is pretty much microbrewed/import price in small quantity.

It's the same price per case as Bud Light in WNY where I buy it....

Keystone would have met the budget when I was in school.

First choice would be Budweiser. I wouldn't turn PBR, Killians, or Yuengling away though.

The prices were the same as in the poll so I figured it'd work.

I voted for Labatt Blue because I've liked it ever since I spent an evening in a Windsor Jazz Club years ago and that was the beer of choice that evening. Because of the cost involved however, I probably wouldn't actually get it on a regular basis but it is my favorite of the ones listed. I'm not all that familiar with the Micro Brews around the area, but I do know that when I first started teaching, a science teacher at our school made his own and it was exceptional. He died a few years ago at 94 so it must have "done his body good."!

With spring coming, I'd love to get a keg of Victory Prima Pils or Bells Two Hearted.

Those prices seem a little low. Here are the retail prices from Columbus Distributing Co.
