36 Cheap American Beers, Ranked
DeadSpin ^ | 7/3/2013 | Will Gordon

I realize you're going to spend Independence Day happily drinking whatever cold adult beverage you're served, because you're polite and you're an alcoholic. And I trust you'll have a fine old time no matter what you drink. But that doesn't mean America's sh**brews are all the same. The list below breaks down 36 of them, from worst to least-worst.

36. Keystone. This is the worst beer currently sold on American soil. It sits behind chilled glass in a convenience-store fridge like a dumb rebuke to the explosion of American beer variety all around it. In 1978 there were 89 breweries in the U.S.; today there are more than 2,400, and most of the new ones are better than most of the old ones. In 2013 craft beer is no longer the exclusive domain of West Coast weirdos and psychotic woodsmen. These fine days you can score Samuel Adams or Sierra Nevada at the least ambitious of convenience stores and Dogfish Head 90 Minute on the least reliable of trains. And then there is Keystone, which first appeared to the world in 1989, in Chico, Calif., home of the Sierra Nevada Brewing Company. Keystone separates itself from the rest of the crap pack by augmenting the typical stale/sour flavor profile with notes of brown bananas and green armpits. Keystone is worse than Heineken and murder.

His ranking of Yuengling is downright laughable.

Millers HL is fine for a lager and I don’t see it as that much worse than PBR. When I drink a lager I don’t waste money on anything that costs more than one of these two.

I have no idea what his beef is with Yuengling. The stuff is thoroughly drinkable, and inexpensive. It’s the perfect party beer.

He’s from Boston and doesn’t like his precious Sam Adams being outsold - despite it’s availablity in all 50 states to Yuengling’s 13. That’s my guess.

I doubt Hrbek would want to be mentioned in the same sentence as Weird Al.

Yep. If the thermometer is pushing 90 and it's been well iced-down, I really don't care.

Use to be a beer called Brew 302.
It was in L.A. and got its water from the L.A. wash. Ugh!
