Cheap beer connoisseurs : PBR vs Hamms

Featured Replies

  • Super User

So I've never been a cheap beer guy...well not super cheap anyhow. So recently I decided to give it a shot...I tried PBR  and Hamms. It may not be very hipster of me but I found PBR to be disappointing to say the least and actually thought Hamms was much better then anticipated. What say you?

Wow I haven’t had a Pabst since elementary school ! Best I remember it was delicious .

I uh, actually got a PBR or two as we speak...

Yikes that’s not good. I don’t remember Pabst tasting tinny , but it’s been awhile.  

Have you tried Milwaukee’s beast yet ?

I’m having some Miller high life this evening. It’s supposed to be the champagne of beers but I have my doubts

High life ain't all bad...I kinda have a soft spot for it. I haven't tried Milwaukee's beast...you like it?

I used to drink a lot of it, but I can’t remember if it was because it was good or just cheap.

I used to drink steel reserve ...I remember that it wasn't because its good

I get PBR Tallboys once in a while, but I prefer Natty Boh at the ballpark. Never had a Hamm's, I will have to look for it.

Genny Light > all the rest.

Will second Genny Light. Also, if you can get Old Style in your area, it's a gooden.

First beer that pops in my head when i think cheap is Natty Light.  That was our go-to in college and it will always hold a place near and dear to my heart.  I honestly prefer a Natty Light over most other beers. If i'm lucky enough to find a bar that serves bottles of Natty Light, you can bet a lot of money thats what i'll be drinking all night.

Hamms’s and Pabst? I thought the only thing those cans were good for was making crochet bucket hats back in the 70’s ?.
 

* and of coarse Budweiser, Coors, and Oly (Olympia) were used...

Kinda figured you'd chime in touting Nasty lights finer points!

Agree ?...maybe a Miller High Life, but that's as far down the chain I go. 

I agree that high life aint bad. I actually had a couple Hamms last night and it wasn't as bad as I remembered. Best thing is a 6er of silos at the gas station 4 blocks from my house is $4.50

I'm a Blatz man.  Been drinking it for a long time.

We kept the cooler in the base exchange empty of PBR weekly.

They sell it in little short stubby bottles like coors original in gas stations

Not really selling the experience....

I'm a Busch Latte guy.   I'd take a Natty over Budlight any day of the week.
