I'd rather eat my money, dry, than drink cheap crappies. If drunk is all that's needed, some hard liquor will do. I've always thought that cheap beer is the worst answer to the alcohol/taste optimization. It tastes bad, has no punch, and if you want a serious effect, you need to consume a ton of calories. Good beer is about $1.50-2.00ea (from the store). That's pretty cheap luxury unless you've got a drinking problem. I dunno. It's just not where I choose to economize.

This made me laugh. Because I feel the same way. Haha
Rainier is my go to cheap beer. To me it tastes fine.
But I also enjoy the whole micro/craft beer movement. Alot of really good beers are being made.
But let's be honest...half of the craft beers could easily be called Hipster Horse Piss and people would still rave about how good it is.

There are beer drinkers and there are beer tasters/samplers.
A beer drinker is not nesassarily going to enjoy the same tastes as the taster/sampler crowd...and vise-versa.
No big deal. To each their own.

I like beer.

Quoted for truth.
Everything by SixPoint, for example.
 
I certainly drink Rainier and Budweiser if it's given to me, I have no problems with them. But, when I am paying for my own beer is when I opt for better-tasting stuff; I'm willing to upgrade.

Stuff like Deschutes, Sierra Nevada, Leinenkugels, they aren't that much more, but the tastes can be worlds better.

I must be pretty lucky so far, I've purchased plenty from local craft breweries, so far I've yet to have one that wasn't pretty dang good.

One of the benefits of traveling for work is sampling the local beers.

This guy gets it.:thumbup:
 
Gee, I don't get why everyone doesn't like the same kind of beer. Haha. I've been all over the map through my life but have settled into dark, heavy and malty. Kicks my butt now if I drink a few but real satisfying if I only have one. Giant spectrum of possibilities in the beer world.

Yeah it is pretty good. One of the easier drinking Bourbon Barrel stouts, IMO.

Oskar Blues TenFidy is another good one if ya can find it.

I drank a bottle of Goose Island Bourbon County that I've been hanging on to for a couple years ( they say it is good up to five). At 15% abv, it developed nicely. Probably the richest tasting beer I've ever had. Kicked my ass too.. That's like four Miller Lites.:D
 
I've tried the Ten Fidy. Liked it but not as much as some others. Haven't tried the Goose Island. Just looked online and my local place has it. Have to give it a try.

Oskar Blues: I like Dale's Pale Ale just fine.
Sweetwater Pale and IPA! Damn! And that was just in the airport!
 
I'm not much for IPAs (yet) but pale ales are growing on me. for now, I'll stick with the less bitter suggestions for those who are used to lite beers.

Sierra Nevada's Nooner Pilsner is a good substitute for just about any of the cheaper beers already listed, as is Kona's Longboard Lager. If your tastes are more for the darker stuff, Elysian's Men's Room and Silver City's Ridgetop Red are both smooth red ales. 21st Amendment's Toaster Pastry India Red is a fantastic mixture of flavors that really make me happy, and Ninkasi's Dawn of the Red is similar in taste while probably being more widely available.

If you can't find any of those due to them being local breweries, sorry.
 
I'm not a fan of IPA. A couple of months ago I went to a local pizza place and all they had was IPA on tap and bottle in the can. For some reason everyone in the Seattle area, it seems to me, is crazy for IPA.

Something happened that triggered craft breweries to start making IPAs, now 50% of all craft beers are IPAs and I'm annoyed because they don't really taste that good (Ballast Point's Sculpin and The Brother from Fremont Brewing are exceptions) but they are everywhere. I'm hoping the fad dies down quick.
 
I know right. I've found a few that I actually like, very few. Yeah I'm ready for the IPA trend to die.
 
IPAs are best with spicy and/or pungent food. If you're not a huge hop fan, try them that way first. IPA and kimchee, for example: awesome. But spicy salsa and chips will do. :)

21st Amendment's Down To Earth Session IPA is phenomenal. Not an IPA, it's misnamed. It's smack in the Sierra Nevada Pale Ale category for hoppiness, but tastes way better due to a malty backbone and good late hopping. Drinkee.
 
I like just about everything Elysian makes.
They know what they're doing!
