Windixie and Publix is more expensive than my Quickie mart. My quickie mart has the 18 packs at $10.99 for the Keystone light.They sell the Busch at $10.99 also. It seems my big chain super markets aren't that cheap when selling beer unless its a big sale, but the corner quickie mart always has the same price,$10.99.

Back in the early 70's I used to drink a lot of Genesee. You could buy a case(24) for $3.99 !!! I was really on a tight budget, so that was the beer of choice. They still brew it, but I'll have to look to see how much it is now.   "Oh, Oh say can you Genesee".

I dont drink but if you are wanting to get sick and kill yourself,
Black Label, Schlitz Malt Liquor, colt or bud.
I have zero experience here, so how far off base am I?

I can't believe I almost missed this thread. THERE IS NOTHING BETTER THAN CHEAP BEER when camping. No one is around to see whether or not you have your little pinky stuck out or to belittle you for not splurging for a beer with a foreign sounding name or one that was just advertised recently to get you to buy it and be "Cool."



Natty Light for me. It used to be Busch until I moved to Louisiana and found out that it is apparently a high dollar beer over here??? It was the other way around in Texas, Busch-cheap, Natty Light 'not as cheap.'



I tried Keystone but the cans just didn't 'feel' right. They must be made with a lower grade aluminum or something?? Natty fits the hand and feels right, kinda like a good airgun I guess.....



Another thing I noticed(Big Bill, don't try this at home), I can drink one almost complete and eventually I will leave it on an unknown flat spot only to find it later, AFTER opening another one, and I don't get mad because I let it get hot and wasted it. I suspect Big Bill would have some 'vintage' beer laying around if he was to dive off into number 4 in a single day.





Cheers!

Big Bill would make the perfect designated driver, in our group the designated driver gets anything they want to eat and unlimited sodas to drink at the pub or bar.It saves us from DUI's and hurting someone drinking and driving..

I have to say beer snobs get a bad rap. While I would be first in line to spend $10 on a special imperial porter, I'd also be last to turn down a flatt labatts. There is a difference between appreciating and lacking any tolerance. I appreciate the fine stuff...and am fine drinking anything (unless it came out of the anus of some damned animal). I originally asked about the target. Steel reserve was about as low as I think someone might go to get a buzz...doesn't mean it sucks.

I hate beer snobs and gun snobs...I think either has to prove the truth. There are cheap beers that do the job, and fine beers that do not much different. Likewise, my chinese guns do mostly what any Euro gun will...I'd NEVER *_*_*_*_*_* on somone that liked a Keystone when that is what they want. I've downed quite a few of them myself...and I'd never regret them.

There is a place for everything.
THE GUNS:
     â€¢ Cometa Fusion Star (Gene tuned) 12/10/09
     â€¢ Cometa Fenix RWS 94 2/8/10
     â€¢ RWS Diana 48 .177 1/8/10 [TRADE for RWS 350]
     â€¢ Walther Force 1000 .177 11/11/09
     â€¢ TF89 .22 10/26/09 (Gene tuned 1/6/10)
     â€¢ TF89 .177 (Gene tuned) 9/6/09
     â€¢ Remington Vantage 1200 .177 8/22/09 (Gene tuned 1/6/10)
     â€¢ Daisy 953 (pneumatic) 8/02/08
     â€¢ Gamo Big Cat 2/5/10 (broken...free...maybe gas piston?!)

THE SCOPES:  
     â€¢ Sightron SII 4-16x42 AO  
     â€¢ Leupold VX-II 3-9x33 Ultralight EFR AO
     â€¢ Bushnell Trophy 6-18x42 AO

Michelob is always good!

Or you can go for a few 40oz bottles of Old English, Colt 45, Crazy Horse etc... Those are pretty good until they get warm.
Mickey's is good too. It's a little pricey, but Amstel Light is a REALLY good beer that doesn't taste like a lite beer.

I prefer the heavier microbrew or Euro stuff though. Pyramid Ale, Bass, Guiness (with vanilla ice cream!) , Old Speckled Hen, Boddington's, Long Board...THOSE are some of my favorites!
