Beer is Beer

So there I was at the store, alternating between looking for Food and looking for beer. Ahhh....Who am I kidding, I was just looking for beer. I was perusing the massive beer selection at my local grocer, debating the eternal debate of the drunk who still has taste. Do I go for the flavor, the spice, the greatness, or potential greatness of a craft beer from a microbrewery, or even a more traditional stout, full of flavor and dark as night. My options in this direction, like my thirst, are limitless. Alas my budget is not. So perhaps I should get something cheap, something high gravity, something with a high abv/$. I small light clicks in the attic of my mind, shining just enough light that I can see a solution, A peace accord between my tongue and my wallet that strikes the balance between taste and budget, between connoisseur and consumer, between admirer and AA.

I am now currently enjoying my 5Th can of refreshing "Extra Gold". It is a lager brewed by Coors. Cheap as anything at round 13$ for a 30 pack. Now this beer is probably the best cheap beer that I have had occasion to drink. It is a standard American yellow lager along the lines of Bud. I use it as a wonderful filler beer, being unexceptional in most ways. Its unremarkable inoffensiveness allows it to not detract from the flavors of more expensive beers that I might, and will, drink around it. Which at this time it is Baltika #6 Porter, of which I grabbed a couple of singles. I would definitely recommend this beer for people who are looking to get beer on the cheap without resorting to things that taste as if they were filtered through a sock attached to an ass, and to supplement those expensive beers.
