You'll need to go to Woodmans. If you're coming from the E or S, head to Corner Hwy 51 and Milwaukee St. Great selection of beer there. Also Bitburger cans are good value (but Hollandia tastes better).

Milwaukee's Best regular and Light is usually available all over the US for about $13.00 a 30 pack.

Miller reformulated the recipe slightly a couple years ago when they starting putting MILLER on the Milwaukee's Best cases. Don't tell anyone, but is the same as Miller Lite, just in the "economy" package.

We have watched the cans come off the assembly line while waiting for our semi's to be loaded. Both lines feeding from the same vat, just different labels and packaging. And no advertising budget for Milwaukee's Best.

I presume the Woodman's just off the Beltline at Gammon would also work. I have a customer right up the street from there, so that's where I'd be. (I'm not real crazy about Bitburger, BTW...at least the U.S. version).

There is a good cheap, beer?

If I can't get a pint of Guiness, I usually order a Budweiser...I think it's a great beer.

Coors Light is my cheap beer, when quantity is more important than quality.

Are you referring to the original or that which is brewed in St Louis?

And, on that topic, has anyone noticed the differences in the taste of Budweiser depending on where it's brewed? I haven't had a Bud in decades, but in college, I noticed a much different flavor while visiting St Louis than what I was accustomed to from Merrimac, NH.

Should do, though I don't usually shop at that one. Either way, I think you'll be impressed by their beer selection and prices.

I'll cast another vote for PBR...it would go to Shiner Bock 'cept that in California it is not a cheap beer. :mad: Now...my next question is what airline club serves the best beer in the US? Worldwide? My vote is for Sierra Nevada at the SFO DL CRC and the incredible beer machines at many of the lounges at NRT. (WC, AC, RCC, etc)

I will vote for Singha when in Thailand or Staro Pramen (think thats how its spealt) in Prague... oh and also Budwar is so tasty.

Prague definately has the cheapest and best beers!

Yes, being in Germany too long gets you to know good beer. But in the states I would vote for Shiner Bock

Honestly, No.

I think A-B used to have a minor issue with this, but solved it quite a few years ago.

In my own instance "back in the day" I once in a great while thought Bud from Columbus might be just a little "off". If anything, I thought the stuff from L.A. might be a tad smoother than usual. But in each case, it was probably "just me". As for St. Louis brewed beer, I never thought it had any particular "attributes".

PBR? People must be kidding. Keystone Light is far superior, AND less filling.

coxta Mar 12, 2007 8:18 pm

cheap beer
 
I just purchased a 30-pack of Natural Lite, for $10.00
