Camping beer choices...Yup, I said beer,,,,,

[HILMAN76]

Alright folks, I’m working the midnight shifts and am bored out my skull, so I thought I’d start a budget beer thread. This weekend I’m going camping out on the Big Cypress in the Everglades and plan on my ritual of binge drinking, barbequing , and fishing. I usually take my tried and true budget beers since I don’t want to spend a small fortune on the usual mid priced brews.

My go to budget beers are #1 Keystone light, and my #2 is Natural light.

Red Dog use to be my #1 but can’t find it here any more

Ifind myself buyingKeystone Light on most pay days, when I can spring for Bud light, Miller lite, or Coors Light for a few $$ more...

Keystone taste just like Coors light,H2o ..can’t beat it on a hot day.

So I ask, what’s your favorite lower priced budget American beer?

Old Milwaukee, Natural Light, Keystone, Schlitz, Milwaukee’s best, Busch, Pabst Blue Ribbon, Miller High Life, Schaefer.......Or your local brandI havent heard of......

I only drink budget beer when my brother visits, the good stuff is wasted on him :-).  Then it's Busch.  Otherwise I prefer micro brews, or in the case of Red Hook, pseudo micro brews :-).  Now if I'm feeling especially flush, I'll hit our local brew pub, they put up some great beers, and my wife even says that since they are unpasteurized, they qualify as health food.  How sweet is that ;-)?  Later.

My Budget beer would have to be Busch light and natural light although I tend to get Bud light usually is on sale:) I do like fosters lager, red strip and land shark if no budget.

When I was young, I grew up on Schmitz, Shaffer and Bud, and I drank them to be "one of the guys", since I didn't like any of them !

Now I drink a cold one on HOT summer days when one is needed, about a six pack a year, so I can afford to drink what I really like, now Miller is the cheapest American beer that I can stomach, and I prefer DAB light and dark, Spetzen light and dark, Cuing Sow, and Tenant ! They are more expensive, but worth it to me ! No headaches, and they have a good fullbeer taste.

I'm American through and through, but I haven't found a beer made here in America that is worth drinking !

Pardon my spelling on the beers, lol

What was it Monty Python's Eric Idle said about American beers (especially the light ones) -- "like making love in a canoe . . . xxxxing close to water"
PBR is a good choice.

Are you looking for volume so you can just keep popping them all day, or are you looking for something that will get you a little blotto?

Steel Reserve 211 is cheap and packs a bit of a punch. Each beer is worth 2 (8% ABV), and it costs about what a Labatts would. Bonus is you can take half the weight and still get as smashed. Really good if you plan any hiking.

If you are considering strictly volume, I'd look into getting a beer ball. These are plastic kegs that hold about 5 gallons (about 50 beers). They used to be ridiculously cheap.

BTW -- I mostly brew my own...

Rolling Rock's not too exp around here, and will deff get the job done without feeling too horrible afterwards

[HILMAN76]

OHHHHH BOYYYY! Steel reserve, Thats what I drank at night when I really needed to forget what was bothering me that day...

Natural ice and steel reserve were my gut rot choices on stressfull days 2 or 3 steel reserve tall boys is all it took

Now Im in my 30's and like the whole quantity but not get ripped buzz.Thats why I stick to Keystone Light and Natural Light.

I can pound a few and not get loopy or retarded after a 12 pack or more.

I really use to like Miller High Life, but then it started to really give me the beer farts or squirts. NO FUN!

I mostly drink like an animal when im out camping...It helps me HOWL LIKE A CAYOTE at night.

I agree, Keystone Light - not bad, and it is really cheap.
But mostly, I buy Corona at Costco, $24 a case.

[raterminator]

How cheap is cheap?
$24.99 for a case of two dozen Beck’s is good? That’s what I prefer. In some places here in NY, six pack of the same beer would cost you $12, so $25 for 24 sounds good to me.

I usually only drink beer in the summer time . I drink a LOT of beer when camping. Kokanee, Labats, Fosters, Rolling Rock. But my favorite beer is Michelob. NOT ULTRA!!!! But it is harder to find around here.

[Jerrycup]

IIRC, the Keystone Light is sold in 30 packs for $19. That's what I call cheap.
I agree, imported beer at $25 a case is a buy, too.
