In that regard, I buy Coors Banquet solely because it’s 5% and costs the same as Lite. And when I’m really feeling down bad, I can go for the 5.9% IceHouse for even cheaper.
Comment on The Bad Beer That’s an Incredible Beverage

The author’s main point seems to be that 4.2% ABV is usually a much better choice than the >5% of most craft beers. But there are other beers with low ABV, there are even non-alcoholic craft beers. e.g. Guinness Stout and Kilkenny Irish Rad Ale have about the same ABV.

We don’t really have lower-alcohol beer here (except for Guinness and Kilkenny, but they’re expensive), so my go-to is non-alcoholic beer. Usually relatively cheap and suitably weak-tasting, if I want to get buzzed I get a spirit as a chaser.

Yeah if low ABV is the goal, there are much better options. I totally get the cheap, unpretentious aspect, but yeungling and its lite version are just as cheap but much better. Yeah it’s an east coast thing but others exist all over the place. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll drink a miller lite if presented with it. But there is bound to be a better option most of the time.
