tfw this beer is $15/4-pack

>>10869640
wew
overcharging for the nostalgia factor???

>inb4 Natural Ice/Keystone/etc.

sure you can get Natty Ice or whatever but its different because theres colors on the can and they do at least a little bit of marketing. I'm talking about totally generic

>>10869655
No, just hipster craft beer. Almost every one they sell is that price.

Ive seen a beer called Beer 30 when i lived in Iowa. It had fancy designs on the box/cans but it was very cheap.

>>10869631
14.50 for a 30 pack.

>>10869786
i see color anon...

>>10869796
It's the closest thing I could think of.

Ha ha... Man oh man, is beer overpriced these days! See, a guy like me really likes to look after his money, so I took to brewing my own beer. So much cheaper, and tasty too! I recommend you fellas look into it.

>>10869631
"Generic" was over taken by "store brand" products by the mid 90's.

>>10869811
Youre full of shit.
Everyone who brews beer knows that it costs more than buying beer. Go fuck yourself for being a summerfag.

>>10870015
Ha ha! Oh man, I used to be like you when I was younger. So bitter and easy to anger. What's your name, son, so I can add you to my Wednesday night prayer list?

>>10869631
You realize companies need logos to market right?

>>10870041
you realize that the point of generic or store brand products is to get that poor/cheapskate market

We got these here in Germany.
Doesn't taste very good though but you don't notice the difference after 2-3

>>10869998
I figured that was the case
its similar ideas though, except store brand has colored packaging

>>10870064
pls translate the words on the can

>>10870060
They still exist but complaining that they have color or logos is retarded. There's some shitass beer that's a four pack for a dollar up here in Wisconsin but I can't be assed to remember the name

>>10870074
Natty Ice? Steel Reserve?

>>10870073
Just a black & white can. No fancy golden decoration. Simple design. No TV Ads.
Our savings go to you!. We saved on pretty much everything except the quality of the beer. This is a pilsner brewed after the German purity laws. Ingredients: Water, malt, Hop-extract. Use your money more wisely. Pay less for good pilsner without any fluff.

too bad it's no longer sold

>>10870103
danke mein freund

>>10870073
"For a hipster nigger weeb experience, those! Not awful dicks of golden showers! For a simple shape! Not expensive werewolf asshole on TV!"

>>10870119
kek

>>10869631
I'd rather a decent label like pic related for my beers imo

>>10870064
Lived in Germany for 2 years and i only ever saw the homeless drinking those.

this stuff is not that bad if you're broke, better than Keystone or Natty Ice in my opinion

>>10870130
As i said these don't taste very good. They probably cheaped out on the hop content.
It's a poorfag beer but at least it's not in PET bottle.

>>10870074

Was it this swill? Absolute garbage, though cheap as fuck.

>>10870246
wait... is it Mountain Crest or Mountain Creek?

Just buy the cheapest beer and don't look at the logo if you're this much of an autist

>>10870289
was just wondering if it still existed anywhere bruh
why you gotta be like that

>>10870310
I'm truly sorry

>>10869796
of course you do...racist

Just go to the bar and ask for a beer

>>10870562
fuck bars

>>10870127
you have to be 18 to post here

>>10870562
I used to go to this bad in Ireland where most bartenders knew me. I'd come up to the bar and ask for "One alcohol please.".

Pretty much always got good laughs, especially after they pour me my favourite beer without any clarification.

it did die out. No company is going to bother making beer without labeling it. Since you seem to have no taste what so ever, just buy bud and be happy.

>>10870656
Its lovely beer you should try it. 10% and stout, with a very creamy taste.

>>10870692
Okay honestly I was being a little bit too cynical
I’ll give it a try with an open mind, thanks anon <3 :)

>>10870689
>since you seem to have no taste what so ever
>ask honest question
>get insulted

fuck you grumpy faggots

>>10869811
Bless your heart brother. Fellow homebrewer here. There ought to be homebrewing boards here on /ck/

>>10869811
youre totally right, i love making stuff on my own as well, especially food items.
for instance, i make my own bacon by crushing hotdog sausages with a rolling pin. its healthier AND tastier than the shit you can buy.

>>10870770
Honest questions can still be stupid questions

Loved this

>>10870103
That's marketing.

>>10870897
If anyone's actually curious check /diy/.

>>10871001
you can still be a faggot

there was generic everything

>>10871079
Whoa ho ho! There sure is a lot of middle school name calling here. Man, I don't know if I want to contribute to a place like this. Praying for you all though.

i want to go hiking at your place
hopefully theres no wolves and drowners

>>10869786
yeah but then you gotta drink genny

Remember when beer can collecting was a thing?

>>10869631
this has never been a thing. stop LARPing as a boomer and fuck off

>>10871692

wrong faggot

RIP

>>10869796
You're having a stroke

>>10869631
There's a beer with packaging like that here in NZ but it's an expensive hipster beer.

>>10869631
I've seen cleanskin beer before. It's not very widespread though.

>>10870096
This probably comes the closest to the correct answer in terms of Generic Beer availability.

"Generic" beer and spirits were outlawed in 1989 due to a proposal first initiated by Sen. Leonard Ball (D. Louisiana) in 1989.

>>10869786
13.77 here wo

>>10874093
wow thanks Louisiana
douchebags

This is probably as generic as it gets. The formula is public and anyone is allowed to brew it for sale.

>>10869640
>>10873229
fuck all these hipster shits taking the can style of the cheapest beer from the 80's but then charging an arm and a leg

>>10874689
how do you know if they brewed it right and you won't die from contaminated beer

>>10874700
Same as literally any other beer you drink?

>>10871673
a PINK can of beer?

>>10870103
>German purity laws

>>10874711
I'm pretty sure MillerCoors/Anheuser-Busch/etc. aren't going to make poisoned beer

>>10874724
where
I can't find it

Why don't alcoholic beverages include nutrition facts on the label? You can't even get nutrition info online for some stuff.

>>10874734
Well they sure as hell make a beer that tastes like poison

>>10874748
hah!
got eem ;^)

>>10871673
where i live, that's gotta be like $40 worth of cans. i don't know anyone who collects cans, other than in a bin to take back for deposit.

>>10874748
b-but anon you didnt answer the first question desu, you gave a reply only somebody uneducated with a hint of autism would make

>>10874962
The question itself was asked from a position of ignorance.
Why is Anon so certain that an uncaring multinational corporation employing gormless illegals has never in their history made a bad batch of beer?

Why is an open-source recipe more at risk of contamination than any other recipe?

>>10874989
>open-source recipe
>anyone can sell it
>how could that possibly go wrong

if I was a serial killer I just made the high score

>>10871673
I still do it

I was disappointed to learn they wouldn't complete the movie trilogy.

Cheap store brand beers are the best

You and I have very different palates, my good man.

>>10870096
Came to post this. As generic as it gets.

>>10875856
This shit is some quality beer

>>10874027
That's a nice can design for something that's not supposed to have much of a design.

>>10874989

>>10874697
>taking the can style of the cheapest beer from the 80's
big if true

>>10870015
maybe if you buy the equipment and brew 1 batch sure.

otherwise no

it costs me about 25-50 cents per beer to brew it myself depending on ingredients.


you're just stupid.

I can get a can of beer (though drinking beer from a can is only for subhumans) around 0.30 USD and less. Stuff is basically cheaper than bottled water here.

>>10870096
is this actually good

i ask because kirkland tends to be REALLY good as far as generic brands go

>>10870015
I don't know about American prices, but here in Nordics with high alcohol taxes on store bought beer, self-brewed beer is around 30-40% of the price of buying cheapest lager.

>>10870138
Yeah, it's not made with hops, but hop extract. Basically boiled malts with some hop suryp and yeast innit.

>>10870280
Depends what timeline you're coming from. Does your Minnesota have a wierd little rhombus poking out at the top or is that part of Canada?

>>10875072
No, anyone cannot sell it. Sales of alcohol are generally regulated by at least food admin in most Western Countries, and by a special division of food admin occasionally.

Secondly, it's beer. Generic types take four ingredients. What you are saying is that it would be fishy if a bakery published recipe for bread and allowed anyone to sell it.

>>10870015
Depends how you split up costs. For the up-front cost of equipment and material to brew a batch, fuck no it's not cheaper by any means. Between tools, bottles and caps it's expensive. Probably about $200 for startup including plenty of bottles, a decent mash tun, wort chiller, a wing crimper for bottles...

For raw materials it's dirt cheap, I spend $20 on 48 bottles' worth and I can cut that practically in half if I buy things in bulk but I only really ever make the same thing twice, so it's best to buy smaller quantities right now.

Your breakeven point for a small, "normal" homebrewer's setup would be 3-4 batches at 5 gallons of beer compared to some middle-range macro beer like sam adams.

Is it easier? No, fuck no it isn't.

>>10875505
bud ice is much better for about the same price.

>>10874734
>pretty sure MillerCoors/Anheuser-Busch/etc. aren't going to make poisoned beer
Bullshit. Coors fucked up brewing Coors Light and released beer from the Golden plant with high levels of ammonia. They did this for like 9 fucking months. It just recently returned to normal.

Aaay that shit is dank, Tennessee brewed yeah?

Had that when I was in Chattanooga at Good Dog Hot Dogs, one of the best pale ale beers I’ve had. Simple and refreshing

>>10869640
This looks like one of the generic products from Repo Man.

>>10870070
Can you show some data proving that a large percentage of the cost goes to putting color on the packaging?

>>10874745
I'd like to know this as well. How do they get away with it when even water bottles have to put nutritional facts somewhere?

>>10875938
You can literally try the brewer for poisoning or murder, or at least fine them for all they're worth. Faceless corporations can only be fined and shrug it off after awhile.

>>10878897
I ain't gotta prove shit

10 Barrel makes a standard lager in a plain white can. It's relatively affordable here.

>>10874700
that's not the concern of the recipe, but of the brewer, you joker.

>>10876139
Unfortunately it is pretty shitty. Reminds me of a flatter, watered down version of Miller light. Can't beat the price though. And most of the time I buy this for when I'm gonna be too drunk to notice the taste.

>>10869631
This used to be found in COOP supermarkets. Now the best (worst) you can ask for is Best Brau which is good, or Finkbrau which tastes like rubbing alcohol
