I've enjoyed the flavors of many crappy beers in my time. Ice House, Old Style, Stroh's, Beer 30 light, Old Milwaukee were common choices for me, but in the end Keystone light was probably my most popular just because of how cheap it was and I could consume more of it than some of the others.

Then: Busch heavy tall boys
Now: probably pbr or rolling rock if we are talking cheap but usually its just coors banquet

This should be in the beer forum!

For me it is definitely Natty Light.

Not exactly sure.
Busch light was dirt cheap in the late 80s. For some reason they started marketing it as a mid premium beer. So it was red/white & blue or meister Brau longnecks. Each was 3.99 a case IIRC.

It wasn't good but it was dirt cheap, does anyone else (must be old) remember something called Red, White, and Blue?

Also there was some crap out of the Dubuque brewery, I think it was Pickett's something or other.

The above made Budweiser classy.

Busch Light 30 racks. Switched to Bud Light bottles at some point, that's what I drink now when I don't get craft or want to consume a lot.

Whatever keg shop had on fire sale that week. Typically old mil, keystone, natty, Busch, or beast ice

i recall them having sparks on sale once and we tried to get drunk on them. That was a horrible decision. Just awake and incoherent for like a day and a half

Apparently they still make sparks. I bought one a few weeks back for old times sake.
