What's the cheapest beer with the highest alcohol content?

[Boston]

Most alcoholic cheap beer.......What is it?

Like a beer that will have you drunk by the end of a 6.

Affordable and available at the filling station.

[Socially Inept]

Steel Reserve.

[Boston]

Damn I know but it tastes like fucking poison.

[Donnie05TL]

Ice beers generally have a higher alcohol content so you could get something like Milwaukee's Best Ice. I think it's pretty cheap, but I'm sure there are cheaper, higher alcohol % options like the aforementioned Steel Reserve.

[Illadelphian]

If you are looking for cheap and strong just go pick up a couple of 40's. Camo ice's are strong as hell but taste like absolute fucking asshole. I'd grab like 2 hurricanes, they are 2 bucks each and the taste is a lot better. They are like 8% too.

[JWOBRO]

Steel Reserve will be the consensus...but check out Busch Ice...5.9% so they dont taste too bad but a 6 should gte you going pretty good.

[htowndanks]

Olde English beats the hell out of Steel Reserve. I believe steel is 8% but Olde English High Gravity is 12%.

Both get you drunk and are only $3 at 711

Steel Reserve will fuck your shit UP. Guaranteed. To answer your question the most potent malt beverage you can buy is generally malt liquor. Malt liquor generally has a significantly higher ABV than traditional beer. Malt liquor ABV's probably range anywhere from like 6% on the low end up to maybe like 9% or 10% max. With the average light beer probably at around 3.5% youre talking about a beverage that anywhere from 2 to nearly 3 times as potent as beer.

Malt Liquor also generally runs much cheaper than beer too, which is nice. A 40 oz. of malt liquor probably runs at about $2.75 - $3.00 on average. If my memory serves me correct I believe that of the widely available malt liquors, Steel Reserve is the strongest at like 8.5% or something like that. (Here is a great link that profiles a few of the more popular malt liquors, including ABV.)

Now there is a bit of a trade off here. This isnt a magical elixir that is 2-3 times as strong as beer and tastes like unicorn pee and rainbows... Malt liquor is generally considered to be a bit more harsh in the flavor department compared to beer. Some even think malt liquor tastes skunked. I personally rather enjoy it and keep in mind that smoothness will vary with different manufacturers. Also you should try your hardest to drink your 40 oz at a fairly quick pace. As malt liquor gets warmer it begins to taste exponentially worse. Straight out of the fridge theyre rather pleasant. But if you nurse your shit and have the last like 1/4 of the bottle warmed to fucking body heat cause youve been manhandling the bottle for an hour youre in for a fairly disgusting experience haha. And by dumping out part of the malt liquor youre negating the reason you decided to get it in the first place, because its more potent and gets you drunker quicker.

My personal favorites are Steel Reserve (watch out, insanity may ensue!), Hurricane, and Big Bear. But they all sincerely do have distinct flavors and levels of smoothness. So if you dont particularly like one, dont give up. Try some others. Once you find one that you like youll realize the value of the 40 oz. If you get a taste for one of the stronger malt liquor brands, 40 oz. of it can be roughly equated to drinking an ENTIRE six pack of light beer. So it definitely gets you twisted quicker and in a MUCH more economical fashion.

[Vengeful Scars]

211 doesn't taste like Poison > but yea, 40's and Steel Reserve, in TN it's definitely one of those two.

[bROW]

Four Loko

2 for $5, 16oz i think, around here and it has 12%.

edit: its osrt of like a beer.

Camo makes a camo ice xxl 40 that has 9%.

[RobotPoop]

They also make those disgusting fuckin drinks like Joose and the sort. Theyre classified as flavored malt beverages. The vast majority of them taste like rancid turds. The first sip may seem OK, but after the first like, 4 ounces go down the taste becomes really funky and almost like bittersweet. And then you realize you have 20 fucking ounces left to choke down. Not enjoyable.

The only drink along this line that I truly enjoy is Sparks. It's a kind of mild energy drink that contains alcohol. The regular Sparks is about 6% ABV, but they make a stronger one that's like, 8.5% ABV which is awesome. The flavor is very unique, I wouldn't even begin to know how to properly describe it, but it's good and best of all the flavor is mellow, it doesn't rabbit punch your fucking palette. It is also an AMAZING mixer with vodka. It masks the vodka flavor almost completely up to about half Sparks half vodka. The drunk you get from it is awesome too haha. Perfect pregame drink for a night out at a club or to prep for a night where general debauchery is on the itinerary.

[tried almost everything]

over in Scotland, I know of a pub that sells bottles of fosters for 99 pence. Vodka and coke, 89 pence. Double whisky and coke, which is 45% is £3.10> Thats the cheapest pubs. Off sales, we can get cheap vodka, around £7 a bottle, £9 or £10 a litre. Cider is very cheap, 4 litres for £3.60. Beer is more expensive than anything else, even our wine is very cheap. But i see you aren't from the UK, but i just wanted to show how the prices over here are

[Metameme]

Colt .45's and 211, bay baayyyy.

[neveroddoreven]

I remember my early teen years with those huge 2/3 litre bottles of white cider, (white lightening etc). I read somewhere that they reduce the alcohol volume of such ciders recently, guess it helped the binge drinking cultrue too much. They tasted like balls, but were at least 8%, and cheap as hell.

Reminds me of when I was 13 with my mate who looked like 18 with his fake ID, buying crates of Stella Artois and drinking them in a field near me, or the 2 litre bottles of Strongbow hahah. Ah, I miss being really young, even though I'm 18 I already feel nostalgic .

[RobotPoop]

I crushed 2 Colt 45 40 oz's immediately preceding, and then during, Dexter due mainly to this thread. 40's are fucking great, the slosh you get from downing 2 back to back is so nice. Especially Colt 45. Works every time.

[bigGREEN420]

Natty Ice... 15$ 30 rack and a 5.9 alcohol content. get fucked up.

[Dystopia]

I think that while I can afford to drink good beer I'll never buy cheap high AC beer. Ever.

[Renegade]

Steel reserve has been stated. And it's not THAT bad. Natural Ice would prob be next.

[Hendog]

Special brew is 9% i think, that gets you battered after a few. Tastes like absolute shit though

[Tommittaja]

fuck... here in finland beer is max 5,4% or something like that..
oh well, i'll always have my gin ^^

mm... well anyway atleast our drinking agelimit is only at 18 so no harm made there D
although here we can only buy drinks up to 21% until we're 21 :P

[SaucedPrime]

When I'm broke as crap I just buy any random 40oz for 3 bucks. I never payed mind to the brand but they tasted pretty much like a gigantic beer bottle with like a shot of crappy vodka in it. They really do not taste that much different from regular beer in my opinion.

[mushiescubes]

when I was on a tight budget, a tall boy of some milwaukee's best was always around. I believe it was like $2.50 with 5.9% alc/vol.

Then there is always olde english with like 8% alc/vol. Colt45 and 211. no idea on the alc/vol though.

40s are only $3.50.


when i had to drink beer, Mickeys was my choice. Only beer my stomach could really tolerate in large amounts.

Eh, I'm more a hard liquor kinda guy anyway. Vodka, Schnapps, etc

[DJJO]

The malts are definitely the highest and cheapest stuff you can get. Check out bumwine for some alternatives to beer too that has crazy high ABV.

Someone stated up there that Joose and Four Loko are good, which is true around here because some of them are up to 15% alcohol for 24 oz cans. Downside (or upside if you look at it) is the high caffeine content.

[MMAfan23]

I know this is the opposite of what the thread is asking but I didn't feel like making a thread on this since I doubt anyone's tried it but I still wanted to talk about it.

Recently I was in VT and on the way home we stopped at the Long Trail brewery. They had just released their 100th anniversary Brewmaster's Series so I bought a case of what they called a Centennial Red, it's an Imperial Red Ale. The bottles are 22oz bottles but the freaking case of 12 cost almost $78. I know for a fact that's the most expensive case of beer I've ever bought lol. I've yet to try it but the shit looks awesome tasting and has an alcohol content of 7.9%. They also had a Coffee Stout out for the 100th anniversary with 8% alcohol.

I know it's off topic some but I wanted to share an expensive bottle of high alcohol content beer.

[casual]

steel reserve or four loco. but four loco isnt really bear, its flavored malt liqueur tastes like shiit in my opinion

[the ego killer]

steel reserve and st ides are the easiest to get cheap hg malt liquor arount here, around 2.50 a 40 and steel is 8.1% st ides is like 8.9%

[doomhead66]

steel reserve or four loco. but four loco isnt really bear, its flavored malt liqueur tastes like shiit in my opinion

yeah it does taste shit with shitty fruit flavors but its cheap and gets you really drunk too

[Kangus]

Natural Ice it has a 5.9% rating and is cheap

[Dystopia]

Most extremely cheap high alcohol content beer sacrifice the taste value which is just as important as getting you shitfaced. Just pay the money and if you don't have the funds, wait till you do. It makes the alcohol better if you have to wait for it anyways, as with all things the law of diminishing returns plays a large role in making the experience better. Furthermore, higher quality beers may come with a higher price tag but they also come with a better drunk as well.

Do an experiment, one night buy yourself some Duvel or something like that, and the get yourself some old e or Steele reserve. Get drunk on the reserve one day, the the next get drunk on the Duvel and you will see what I'm talking about. The Duvel is only in 4 packs and has a hefty tag of 9-12 dollars not sure the price of the reserve butit will most likely be a fraction of the Duvel cost. But I can guarentee that the Duvel will be a better exPerience.

Don't be upset MMAfan I paid almost 200 for a case of DFH 120 IPA but hot damn it only takes 1 bottle to get the good feeling on and the bottles are set at a lovely 21% abv.
