Did you see any Beer Beer Strong? Should fit the criteria you laid out.

Didn't see that in any of the four stores I visited.

I did see that one, but I already had three six packs in my hands at this point, and two others in the car. is this one any good, or just popular?

co-op is made by big rock, same as AGD and the River Valley. Have had the co-op strong, and wasn't impressed, although I didn't get any more for this comparison. Didn't shop at co-op obviously.

No, it's complete shit. But you're doing reviews here damnit, you gotta take the good with the bad!

Sounds like we have some cheap beer experts on this forum. I should do a "BYO" cheap beer day. I could provide snacks and maybe some chili or ribs, and everyone brings 6 or 12 of their favourite cheap beer. Winner by popular vote.

Sounds like a great day. PM me if you are seriously interested, I will find a date.

Half of me wants to. The other half has this nagging suspicion everyone there would be almost twice my age

Has anyone had Good Times? That beer is the worst I've ever had. Also the cheapest beer I've seen, costing a bit under what the River Valley does. Good Times is the only beer I've had that tastes and feels flat coming right out of the can.

Was just at Coop liquor store buying some baller original 16. Then I saw Coop gold strong for $6.49 for a six pack.

Great price for a big rock beer.

I used to get blasted on wildcat strong when I was a kid. 6 pack of tall boys for 10 bucks.

Dunno what the cost is like now. Probably still get you drunk

I went for a tour at Minhas today. I had low expectations because the days of Mountain Crest ruined my Minhas experience. I was very surprised though, they have decent stuff now. And the variety is insane.

I used a $20 groupon for 2 people. Included tasting and tour. They are GENEROUS with the tastings. Then at the end of the tour they gave us each 2 different bottles of their brew, 1 flavored soda, Minhas glass, a pizza to share, and a 1.9L empty growler for each of us. They have something like 16 beers on tap you can fill the growlers with for $9.

So to recap, $20 groupon =
Tour and tasting for 2
4 Bottled Beers
2 Bottled Non alcoholic sodas
2 Glasses
1 Pizza
2 Empty growlers (worth $6 each)

Snatch Box Beer 7.50 a litre 12.8% so it's expensive but alcohol content puts it in for the run. Not sold to the public as of yet but if you want some let me know.

[AndyL]

Wtf?

O'Keefe's extra old stock. 5.65% and tolerable

but AGD ftw!

[Epididymitis]

Its a little pricey, but the unibroue line up is good. La fin du monde and trois pistoles is at about 9%. The more you drink, the more attractive your cousins get.

[Epididymitis]

Oh CHEAP. Lucky black all the way.

Minhas is good people.

Back on the tastings, really impressed with Lucky Extra, it's got virtually no downside.

Carling Black Ice however, I am still not yet a fan. I however have discovered that if I don't drink a better beer between sips, the tastebuds tire and it's less offensive over time. Clearly if you are drinking to get drunk, you'd be pounding these back with some rapidity. I can see that they'd work well enough for that purpose.

I look forward to additional tastings through the evening.

[ExtraSlow]

double post, I guess the strong beer is working!

[BavarianBeast]

AGD ftw for cheap beer. The big mouth can makes easily drinking too.
