Originally posted by bipolarbear I find that pilsners are what really hit the spot for me. Rolling Rock, Beck's, and of course a few favorite micro brews. Heineken is incredibly overrated though.

You should try to find Jever Pils and Weltenburger Pils. They're the best that I've ever had, much better than Beck's and St. Pauli's (I find it odd that you love Beck'a and hate Heine... there doesn't seem to be much of a difference between the two to me)

Natty Boh is by far the worst widely-available cheap beer.

I can drink PBR all day and all night, but I've gotten sick off of 4 Natty Bohs before (literally vomiting), and even 2 of them guarantee a hangover.

Natty Boh and tequila are my only two enemies.

Of the drinkable (barely) beers, the worst are the Beast (Milwaukee's Best) and the Natural Lite/Ice family.

I wasn't aware that PBR had become a hipster beer. The last I checked they were still drinking 40s of Mickey's and Colt 45

Man, I knew my brother was a hipster, but I didn't realise how close to home the description would hit.

The only thing which doesn't fit is the stuff about spending his parents' money. My parents stopped supporting him years ago, and he really is poor.

The worst beer I've ever had was Milwaukee's Best Ice.

*gag*

It truly made me want to wretch.

[Dinner]

When I was in college all of the frats would have kegs of Natty Ice. It was simply the cheapest beer with the highest alcohol content money could buy. Sure, it tasted like ass but it got everyone ****ed up.

That said I'm now finishing off the last of my 18 pack of PBR.

My freinds get kegs of Yuengling (sp? the Penn beer) mostly. One freind built their own freezer for their beer keg, which they always keep on tap. That freind is also likely an alcoholic... I think he drinks 6-12 beers per day.

I honestly never knew PBR had become hip but it is a much better beer then the Bud-Coors-Millers of the world and it is dirt cheap so I can see why the starving college kids would like it.

I only know two places which have PBR on tap here; one is a Chicago style deep dish pizza place where half of the people who go there are from the mid-west (their stuffed pizza will fill you up with just one slice) and a bar catering to poor college kids. Other then that PBR is hard to come by.

I had a kegerator in my apartment too when I was in college. My room mates and I loved that we had ice cold beer on tap when ever we wanted it. When I moved in with a girlfriend a few years back (2002) she made me get rid of it because she thought it was to ghetto/bachelor paddish. It still miss my kegerator.

Yuengling is a great beer -- their Black and Tan is my favorite, though I also like Lord Chesterfield Ale -- but it's not in the same cheap beer category as the brews being discussed here. Yuenglig is actually the expensive Western PA beer, above Rolling Rock and Iron City.

i do like the yuengling black and tan myself, but it turns my shower into something that belongs in a nazi death camp the next morning.

that being said, i'm disappointed that even by page three, there is no mention of Schlitz.

I fogot about Natty Boh (National Bohemian). It's a Baltimore specialty, though, and it's hard to find outside of 100 mile radius of Baltimore. You can't even find it very often in western Maryland (Iron City, Pittsburgh's crap beer, takes its place)

Whereas Iron City and Pabst are bad but drinkable, Natty Boh is bad and painful.

EDIT: I just found out that Natty Boh is actually brewed by Pabst. That makes sense, as it's basically a cheaper version of Pabst.


Another flat out terrible beer is Old German. It used to be brewed in Cumberland, MD, but is now brewed by the Pittsburgh Brewing company. It costs about $8 for a 30 pack of cans. It's truly disgusting, and only the poorest hillbillies drink it.

Fun Fact: Old German used to be Yuengling's discount brand. When they retired it, Pittsburgh Brewing boughht the name and made it their discount brand. Given that they're flagship brand, Iron city, is undrinkable, I shudder to think what the beer for people who can't afford I.C. tastes like...
