I sometimes enjoy a hearty but cheap beer. While I certainly know the difference between "good beer" and cheap beer, sometimes nothing hits the spot like some rot gut brew. Am I the only one who ever craves a cheap beer? Anyone else ever gone to the convenience store in Atlanta or Detroit and grabbed a "forty" at 2 am?

Some of my favorite cheap beer:

Natural Ice - I think it's more of a nostalgic thing. Drank lots of it when I was studying. One taste of this All-American brew brings back memories of Wed. Night poker and cheap buzzes. I always thought the Ice got a bad wrap. Maybe their marketing campaign should be: "Natural Ice: Not just for whinos and gang bangers anymore."

Mickey's - Actually a malt beverage but a decent buzz for "budget" drinkers.

Camo - A little known brand that boast a 9.0 percent alcoholic content. About $1.29 for a 24 oz. can. I still buy these on occasion.

Those are some of my "best of the worst." Look forward to hearing from others on this amusing topic. I'm sure this post will elicit a variety of responses.
