I know, I know, we're goons and we all drink nothing but the local microbrewery's award-winning Wild IPA, but come on, there's room in this world for all sorts of beer. This is a thread for celebrating the cheap poo poo you can buy by the dozens at the gas station. My favorite in this category would be Schlitz, because it's actually drat good since the reintroduced the old formula from the early 60s, but I can only get that from BevMo where I live. So in its place I'm choosing good ol' Pabst Blue Ribbon, hipster associations be damned:

I live in Oregon, you can just get good beer at every gas station here. So, uh, Session Black if I'm going to slum it. I used to drink Rainer and Olympia by the case, and Rainier is probably one of the only decent mass market American lagers (unless you count stuff like Simple Times and other canned Trader Joe's beer) and Olympia is pretty OK.

It's pretty hard to get beers at actual gas stations here, but my go to cheap drink is usually a big ol' 40 of Olde English 800. Tasty and cheap! I was in New Orleans for Mardi Gras and I copped a few 24 oz. cans of Tecate from a Walgreens. It was pretty useful to take those into a club and not have to pay for drinks. For some reason I can't really find Tecate up here in MA, maybe I'm not looking hard enough...

At least Steelies taste like something, everything else that gets sold at gas stations in my area tastes like some kind of homeopathic attempt to get drunk.

Can we post gas station wines? Because I've drank my share of Concha y Toro, and some of the varietals aren't terrible. Yellowtail can go to hell, though.

 I don't understand how you could dislike Coors Light if you like any beer. It just feels like you're drinking a can of Beer Stem Cells.

I live in CT and it's illegal to sell alcohol at gas stations. Depending on how you look at it, this is either surprising because gas stations didn't exist when our liquor laws were written 400 years ago or unsurprising because BevMax doesn't own any gas stations.

It used to be High Life until I wised up and shelled out the couple of extra bucks for Molson Ice. A million years ago the gas station next to my old apartment sold Leffe and this was considered to be a golden era for drinking and not having to drive to get beer.

One girl, who had both done a grav bong hit earlier and wasn't very bright to begin with, hosed up a lot. She ended up with the nickname "Headwound".

The Rose is extremely sweet, and you can barely taste the alcohol, if that helps.

Oh god, MD 20/20. I got a bottle years ago in college to see if it was just as bad as I remembered and I couldn't even drink half of it. Bought a bottle of Thunderbird once on a dare. It tasted like someone had washed the bottle with kerosene before filling it with cheap almost flavorless white wine. Disgusting. I used to get Steel Reserve or Four Lokos (ugh) years ago but since all these ciders and fruity ales started blowing up in gas stations, now my go to is Redd's Wicked Apple. It's an 8% apple ale and doesn't taste like complete poo poo. It's not super awesome or anything but better than Four Loko or any of the other knockoffs. But Redd's Strawberry Apple ale is so loving magically delicious and refreshing I'd just drink it to drink it if I could, it's like a strawberry soda that's also a beer. Too bad it's only 5%.

Redd's is pretty good, but too much cider gives me wicked heartburn. gently caress Four Loko though; the fact that it was outlawed because young people couldn't handle it is kinda dumb, but honestly it should have been outlawed for the sake of good taste anyway.

Yeah we're sort of living in the dark ages for hobo wines. They're a serious dying breed because they just aren't economical now that you can get poo poo like Sparks for a dollar. Like back in the day we would buy Mickeys, but that poo poo is like 2 dollars for something thats really low alcohol compared to a 3 dollar bottle of wine from Trader Joe's or similar cheap stuff. The UK has us beat on bad cheap liquor tho. Buckfast and Buckies are some foul poo poo. In Korea they sell this lager called Hite that comes in huge rear end bottles for cheap. It's not too bad, tastes a bit like Hamms I guess. It's got nothing on Korean unfiltered rice wine tho, that stuff is cheap, tasty and gets you drunk as hell.

Hamm's is my go-to ultra cheap beer, but gas station beer to me means big cans, single servings etc. Beast Ice $1 "out the door" for a 24ozer is the only way to go.

What exactly is the difference between malt liquor and beer? Is it a strength thing, an ingredients thing, or a cost/value thing?

blunt for century posted:What exactly is the difference between malt liquor and beer? Is it a strength thing, an ingredients thing, or a cost/value thing? It's all alcohol % and malt barley. If it doesn't use malt barley and it gets you drunk(er), its "high gravity" (great term) or "ice" beer. Alternatively you can make ice beer from regular beer by freezing it and pouring off the liquid that doesn't solidify. The alcohol freezes at a lower temp than the water, so you get more booze per drink from the stuff. My pick always was and always will be PBR. But I won't pass a Blatz, Schlitz, Hamms, or Old Style.
