Quest to buy cheap

I have no idea why, but I have started looking for cheap beer. Just to see how it is I suppose. It just came into my head one day, so I have decided to start documenting it. You get what you pay for, this is true, but it is also fun to check out some of these products. I have had my share of beers like Milwaukee's Best, and Natty Light, so I will skip those. They are pretty bad anyways.

The quintessential cheap beer I have found is Pabst Blue Ribbon. It is my favorite cheap beer I have ever come across. Before it regained fame as a cheap decent beer, I could buy a thrity pack for about twelve or thirteen dollars, but since then, the price has slowly crept up to fifteen or sixteen dollars. A sign of the popularity.

A few weeks ago, I bought a twelve pack of Hamm's for six dollars and fifty cents. You can barely buy a twelve pack of pop for that price. It tasted very watered down, but was still enjoyable. I unfortunately have recycled all the evidence of purchasing this beer (I think I will also post some pictures to go along with these posts.) so I may have to go out and buy some more.

The next purchase on my list is Schlitz beer. We are going camping this weekend (see previous post) and campfires, for me, have long been associated with drinking. Just sitting around and having a good ol' time. I remember hanging out with my sister and a bunch of her friends one summer when I was in college and they were all drinking beer and then bottles of Boone's Farm started getting passed around. Classic moment in campfire history.

So off I go to buy my next cheap beer.
