What was your go-to crappy college beer?

I stayed in Ames for every summer. It was awesome. Fire up the grill, drink a bunch of beers. A party to find in the summer like on a random Wednesday night was great.
I can't say that I ever had any desire to drink "good" light beer - IE Coor's, Bud, Miller.
I went pretty much straight from "crappy" beer to craft and skipped that phase entirely. And when I want to drink beer, but not craft beer, I pretty much go straight to the cheap stuff - Busch Light, Old Mil, etc.

Coors was referred to as "liquid gold" when I was in school. It was not distributed very far outside of Colorado, so you had to "import" (smuggle) it back to Washington. Kids would come back from ski trips with trunkloads of Coors, and sell it at enough profit to cover most of their ski trip expenses.
Noticed your signature. I have to confess that even though you explained it to me nearly a year ago, I STILL read it mentally as RUX-sightable. It's ingrained in my brain that way.
For me, I only drank beer in college if we were playing drinking games. If my goal was to get intoxicated, I was drinking liquor. Sailor Jerry. He's a bad man.
If a local microbrew was your go to cheap beer I shudder to think what you considered expensive.
Some years ago Sailor Jerry redid their formula and it went from being the sweet vanilla nectar of the gods to being a so-so rum that is mostly just good for mixed drinks. I'm still mad.
So did I until I drank other craft beers and realized that Olde Main is straight up terrible!
When I was walking around, doing my paper route as a young lad, with my Walkman on, Olde English 800 used to have a fantastic jingle. I liked it better than any song on the radio at the time. "Olde English... 800... It is the power!"
