<p>My husband loves dark beer and I like wheat beer but we both enjoy Honey Brown and Amber Bock. </p>
<p>They aren’t PBR cheap but they are still reasonable.</p>
<p>Budweiser American Ale is a decent cheap beer. As for Yuengling, I prefer Black and Tan.</p>
<p>If i’m going to pick up a case of cheap beer it’s going to be lionshead. I love love love the puzzles under the caps!</p>
<p>Our cheap beer is whatever microbrew is on sale this week at the supermarket. Or the beer our neighbor brews himself. Or the samples at Captain Lawrence Brewery. I like a hoppy IPA beer, or the original Sam Adams Boston Lager, or Brooklyn Lager. Not a fan of dark beers or wheat beers (which my husband loves.) Sierra Nevada makes good beer.</p>
<p>I am also not a beer drinker, but hubby likes Leinenkugel, a regional beer in the Midwest.</p>
<p>mathmom, Before ruling out ALL dark beers give Negro Modelo a try. It is extremely “drinkable”, and unlike the heavy characteristics of so many dark beers.</p>
<p>I’m not a big beer drinker, but a couple of times I’ve tried ‘Milwaukee’s Best’ beer–it has to be the worst tasting beer in the world. It’s cheap, but it is far from the best; it is a wonder that anyone would buy it for any reason other than it being the cheapest beer sold in stores. Yuck!</p>
<p>A drink that I discovered this summer is ‘malta.’ It is a sweet non-alcohol malt beverage that is kinda like a beer soda. I like it lunchtime in a tall glass filled with ice with a cuban or ham sandwich.</p>
<p>I love dark beer. Darker the better.</p>
<p>Negro Modelo is so good. Also a big fan of Pacifico another Mexican Beer. My favorite beer at the moment though is Spaten Optimator, which isn’t all that cheap. </p>
<p>For something that is more mellow, I love a good Heifeweizen. Shock Top is OK, but I prefer to spend the extra few dollars for Franziskaner or for an American brand, Widmer Bros.</p>
<p>I get the attraction of dark beer and like some of them in small quantities, but why force yourself to drink them when there’s something you’ll like better on tap?</p>
<p>The Portland, ME area is microbrew heaven. There seems to be something about port cities that favors yeast products: great beer, great bread.</p>
<p>I don’t know any good “cheap” beers. My H bought something cheap from TJ’s that was absolutely horrible, though. Truly undrinkable.</p>
