    Natty Light is for frat boys and people who use the phrase the war of northern aggression.

    Fucking shots fired 😂

    The choice isnt between IPA, stout and shitty piss water.

    Other lagers do exist, as well as pilsner. In the UK in the hot temperature we’re currently having i enjoy Rheinbacher from Aldi/Lidl.

    It’s light but also actually tastes good.

    Would get lectured by girls non stop how coors was anti-lgbt and the coors baron was a dick hole. It was a constant. Not sure this article is correct.

    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, and while especially bottled Guinness is certainly not as good as the draft version, they’re still pretty drinkable. The section at the end where the author rattles off all the other lower-alcohol beers that allegedly don’t taste good is not well-argued IMO.

    TBH not much of a shitpost, the main point of the article makes too much sense.

      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.

      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.

        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. Not as cost-effective as drinking standard beers, though.
