    What's the Cheapest Beer in America?

    Honestly, I'm asking. I don't know. I don't even know if it would be worth drinking. But there has to be one that is the cheapest beer in the country. Might taste like monkey pee, but if it's beer it qualifies.

    I've heard Pabst Blue Ribbon, Keystone, Steel Reserve, Milwaukee's Best and Pig's Eye.

    I'm open to suggestions. Drinking, OTOH, maybe. Or not. :chin:

    Check out this site:

    http://www.tinsel.org/beer/

    It might have the info you're looking for.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Gennessee Beer. You can get a case of cans for about $4. I've yet to find a cheaper swill. The cream ale isn't horrid, however.

    Wow. Premium? Seriously?

    Must be because it's "imported" from the Yankees

    Is that a sale or regular price. We have 12 packs of Sierra Nevada regularly offered for $16 to $17 versus the 6-pack price of $8.79.

    I need to pick some up--that stuff is great to cook with. Bread a couple of pork chops, brown 'em in a skillet, then pour in a half-bottle of C.A. and cover. Drink the rest of the beer and simmer the pork chops until they're tender. Killer.

    That is not as easy to determine as one might think. A few years ago the tax structre in SC was changed to reflect a tax based on alcohol content, about the time they lifted the ban on beer over 4%. Before that there was an argument going on because the state wanted to tax beer and wine by the container. 65 cents tax per container. On a 6-pack that would come out to $3.90 but a large bottle of wine would still be 65 cents.

    It was argued that this tax was targeting poor people, who normally would drink beer vs the type of people who would purchase champagne. They even ran TV ads showing the triumphant, well to do, celebrating the new tax over glasses of champagne.

    Another aspect of the tax based on percentage of alcohol was how this affected the cost of distilled spirits. My favorite Glenmorgie 18 y/o single malt has progressively been climbing in cost over the last 15 years. Once a $50 a bottle delicacy it is now approaching the $100 mark. $94 - $96 last time I checked. For you cheap vodka fans, a $6 fifth can not be had for any cheaper than $14 ..................... ...---...
