Picked up a six-pack of Old Style at the local liquor store. A Chicago domestic lager. Only $5 for a six-pack.
Looking at the can - it's made by Heileman's, established in 1902, it's "Pure" and "Genuine", a "Classic Lager", it's made with "Sparkling Pure Spring Water" using "Old World Methods".
Not bad for $5/six-pack. I think I'm getting my money's worth.
Not quite as nice as the overstock/past sell-by-date craft beer my alma mater's liquor store buys up on the cheap from local distributors, and slings for $10-12/case, but it's not bad either.
If I'm going to drink cheap domestics, I usually go for Grain Belt Premium or PBR. I usually alternate between the two, as the adjunct sweetness of a "Premo" is balanced out by the crispness of the PBR, and vice versa.
I've got to say though, I'm really getting turned on to Old Style. Its taste is somewhat balanced between the extremes of "Premos" and PBRs.
