Cheap beer
I've been drinking Miller Lite for the past couple of years. My mom works at a Miller brewery and she gets four free cases of beer a month. I've tried other Miller products through mom, but I always keep coming back to Miller Lite. It's not the cheapest of the cheap, but it sure ain't no Heineken either. I've tried other more expensive beers and have yet to find one that lives up to its price tag.

How about it drinkers of cheap beer? What's your brand?

1. Try the local microbrews
Try the Great Lakes Brewing Company beers. I buy them in Springboro at the Kroger store that's there.

6. I'll give it a go
What are the names of some of their beers? I have a beer specialty shop right in my neighborhood. Are you familiar with Woody's Little Farm. I bet they'd have the Great Lakes Brewing Company's line of beers.

12. Alright
I wrote it down. I'll look for it next time I'm out beer shopping and if I see it I'll buy a six pack and take it for a test spin.

2. Wild Cat
tastes exactly like its name. Yech. Only drink for medicinal purposes. Say, if you need to purge yourself. It's a Canadian beer. My personal favourite is Kokanee. Simply because you can amuse yourself for hours! looking for the Sasquatch on the can. He's there. Just have to find him. But, I digress. The best Canadian beer is from a relatively small brewery called Big Rock. All their beer is delicious. But expensive. Say, for a case it goes $20+.

8. I've heard of that, but never tried it
I think the cheapest beer I've ever tasted is Blatz. I don't know if they make the stuff anymore. Back in the 80s one of my grandfathers used to get Blatz for 60 cents a can at a bar.

4. Miller HIgh Life isn't bad.
Pabst is ok too. Those are the two that I look for when wanting a cheap beer.

9. I don't like Pabst
But I used to drink Miller High Life quite a bit. It has sort of a sweet taste to it.

13. To me an icy cold Miller
can taste almost like keg beer. MGD is even a little closer in taste to tap beer, to me anyway.

11. Good deal
I like finding something and sticking with it myself, but if they ever start jacking up the price on my Miller Lite you can bet I'll be looking for something else.
