Default Good budget beers?

Sometimes I just don't have deep enough pockets to fork over for beer all the time and I need to settle for a cheapo brand. What are some good discount brands other than AGD, which itself is teetering on the edge of tasting like ass in liquid form.

My bargain beer is usually Olympia. I can't believe AGD is safe to drink, it tastes like poison. Mountain Crest isn't that bad either.

Although most will think its beneath them, drinking ice cold... and i mean it really has to be ice cold on a +40c day... then TNT doesn't taste half bad.

Mountain Crest isnt bad either, plus its cheap. It really depends on a lot of things, if you drink it ice cold Lucky Extra will get the job done but its not going to be an experience you will likely want to repeat.

The biggest downside is that you'll have to purchase these beers with a bag over your head.....

TNT works for me. Usually the brand I buy during the hot summer months.

Old Milwakee is pretty good for the price. It's not as cheap as TNT, but it's cheaper than the common stuff. You generally can pick up 15 packs for about 17-18 bucks.

Lucky Lager and Mountain Crest are decent...

Carlesberg is not that expensive and is my personal favorite bar none

Brewhouse is pretty good... Mt Crest tastes like they added something a bit extra...like battery acid.

Best cheap beer ever. Super easy to drink, tastes like liquid candy when it's ice cold.

Another vote for Mountain Crest. It's really the only "cheap" beer I ever buy.

If you haven't tried the bottled Mountain Crest Gold, it's quite good too, it's a little smoother than the regular stuff and has a nicer flavour. Mind you, flavor usually isn't the number one priority when talking about cheap beer.

Oh, lordy, is that the 6% stuff where the can has a woodgrain motif? I went out on a limb and bought a six when it was on sale. It tasted like battery acid to me, and 5 3/4 of the sixpack went down the drain.

If you're ever at Superstore, their PC Honey Red goes down nicely, and it's $5.69 (plus deposit and GST) per six.
