My father is 87 years old and always drinks 2 beers a day. He thinks the best beer is the cheapest. So.......when back at the farm, I have to drink Old Milwaukee or some other stuff. I get shit if I bring my own stuff - this means I'm dangerously close to being an alcoholic to him.
I can't remember the $.99 per six stuff we bought in college, but it had the American flag on the label with the motto "It's Chemically Brewed"!
Once while driving across America with my boss, we went into the motel lounge to find about a dozen truckers sitting at the bar. They were all drinking Michelob. The barkeep said "Michelob?". My boss said "That's a women's beer - they add lots of sugar to attract the ladies". I almost ran for the door.
For cheap American beer I prefer Rolling Rock. Light, refreshing, not too sweet or filling.
