Oh no no no, he fell for the meme pilsner

>tfw $15 for a six pack of shitty tallboys
>tfw $30 for a twelve pack of bells
dear god do i miss the dollar a beer days

>>18941313
Wow that are some bullshit prices. I'd just drink straight up liquor if I had to pay that much for beer.

>>18941331
i personally can't drink liquor these days, i think i need to give it up all together. i was at a bar the other day and they were straight up charging $13.50 for a single tallboy. wasn't even anything too special, just a pilsner.

>>18941313
Yuengling Lager tallboy 6-pack is only 7.99 usd you dumb retarded overpaying frog.

>>18941350
maybe where you live, genius

>>18941353
try living in a less shitty area then, fuck face

>>18941357
yeah, i'll just break my lease and lose my job because beer is expensive

>>18941288
kek absolutely blatant Staropramen rip-off. I might give it a try though, Staropramen is tasty beer.

>>18941288
Wernesgrüner has been completely vanished from most parts of Germany because nobody wants it though.

>>18941377
Looks a bit more like Pilsner Urquell IMO.

mmh cock

>>18941345
I’m amazed people still go out to bars to drink with the prices they are charging.
Where I live you can get a 24 carton of beer for the same price as 3 pints of beer at the bar.
Just drink at home.

>>18941364
Sounds like the logical conclusion of expensive beer though desu bro

>>18941288
based urquell clone from aldi that was probably made by pilsner urquell

drank this last night, it was about $15, it was pretty good

I thought it was pretty bad honestly. I guess I'll give it another go. Can we convert this to a value alcohol thread? Pbr tall boys are still king but holy shit a handle of 101 is 40 something bucks now.

>>18941771
because some of us prefer to have one or two drinks socially, instead of pounding 24 beers at home in the dark like a sad fat lonely faggot

>>18941288
I have a tallboy in my fridge I'm cracking tomorrow
good stuff :)

>>18942745
Evan Williams and natural ice. Literally unbeatable in value. Evan Williams tastes great, and Ice is cheap as pigshit.

>>18941288
whats that? like 4%?

>>18941498
kek 4.4%
i give that to my baby at nap time

>>18943094
no wonder the 'tard has fetal alcohol syndrome

>>18941350
30 rack of Hamms is still $12 you dumb overpaying retarded hipster

>>18943105
Would rather piss in my own mouth, it's a lot cheaper and tastes better.

>>18943114
Hamm's tastes good thoughever

>>18942764
Ahh the cashed up boomer.
A rare sight.

aldi's has booze? wtf

>>18943094
Have you ever stopped to consider that we drink beer for the taste and not to get shitfaced drunk?

>>18941350
yuengling is straight piss. Eagles lost, loser

>>18943090
>>18943094
OH MY SCIENCE IS THAT AN ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE THAT ISN'T 357%ABV SHIT TASTING MALT LIQUOR THAT GETS YOU SMASHED AFTER 2 SIPS AND GIVES YOU BRAIN DAMAGE???
THIS IS INSANITY!!!!!!!!!!

>>18943135
I drink 4.2% busch to get shitfaced drunk

it takes a whole case or more but is more pleasant in all aspects and at every chronological point of the process than stronger beer at the same price

>>18941288
I can get a 12 pack of PBR for $6

>>18943161
I definitely prefer hard liquor or lighter beer if I'm going to get sloppy. If I'm going for a mild buzz, 6-8%'s the sweet spot, and 10-13%'s a good sleeping potion.

>>18941350
Why would I want used beer you fucking faggot

Bought a few of these on sale $1.50 each.

They are not good.

>>18941331
16 bucks for 375ml of shitty vodka in communist Canada

>hang out with friends at one of their places
>Go on a beer run before cooking
>Everybody gets beer
>I get a 32oz miller for 2 dollars
>Everybody looks at me weird
>Everybody then drinks 3 regular beers over the course of the night
>By the end of the night they all realized why I got the 32oz
Drinking on a budget means looking like a bum, but hey it works

>>18943228
canada is such a shit hole

>>18941288
the cheapest aldi beer here is still $7.50 after tax

>>18943135
id consider it if you drank a good beer

>>18943135
Imperial Stout is the best tasting beer.

>>18941350
im paying $6.50 for a 4 pack of steel

>>18941530
This shit is foul but it's the cheapest beer where I live ($22 for a six pack). I fucking hate Australia please somebody get me out of this nanny state shithole. Fuck taxes.

>>18943094
Based alcoholism understander. I don't need to drink to have a good time. I just need to drink.

>>18941288
Too bad Aldi doesn't sell their knockoff beers any larger than a six pack. It's just not convenient or economical. Aldi beer is the six pack that your grandma buys and leaves in the back of the fridge for two years so her grandson can have a cheeky brew when he runs out of money and remembers to visit.

Our local Aldis also sell some local craft microbrew stuff (brewed <20 miles away), which is neat, it's the only time I've seen them sell local produce, but again, the portioning just isn't smart for a regular beer enjoyer.

I'll also give Aldi credit for selling a knockoff Shiner Bock, relatively niche compared to their other store brands (fake Pilsner Urquell, fake Heineken, fake Corona).

>>18943952
God I wish my granny lived on the same continent as me. I haven't seen her in years. I bet she'd totally stock beer in her fridge so I'd visit and then nag me about drinking when I drink it. Damn, that must be nice.

>>18943945
What the fuck. This shit is cheaper than water where i live.

>>18943991

They think they can either fix us, or failing that milk us like cattle. I refuse to change my behaviour because of some bald old suit-wearing control freaks, so I guess I'm the latter. Moo. Fuck, this country used to be world famous for Steve Irwin and Crocodile Dundee and now we're California: The Nation.

>>18944043
if you don't like paying 20 bucks for a six pack, there's better options at Aldi for half the price bro

>>18944051
Shit, I thought supermarkets weren't allowed to sell alcohol here. Why are Liquorland and BWS separate if they can stock it in store? Damn, I'm going to Aldi tomorrow and seeing what they've got.

What is written on the sticky note propped against your screen?

>>18944060
Sorry fellow Ausbro, I thought that every state had aldi liquor

>>18944062
a couple simple keyboard shortcuts and terminal commands from when i first started using Linux

>>18944073
Enjoy it my friend. Have a drink and toast to those of us left behind.

>>18944043
take the home brew pill
picrel is 15gal of 14% ABV liver assassin for about $25
toss in a few koolaid packets to hide the flavor and make ugly faces while drinking it helps

>>18944088
I brew my own every now and again but it always ends up tasting mediocre so I go back to being the government's paypig. Any resources I can read up on to try and improve?

>>18944093
real depends if you're trying to brew beer or wine or cider or mead
the last two are much simpler
i've nevr had much luck with beer and wine and mead is out of the question in America because honey prices are insane here
Can you distill there?

>>18941377
Yeah when I saw the label I thought it was Strap-on-a-man too.

>>18944100
I've only ever tried those supermarket homebrew tins of malt syrup with a packet of yeast glued to the top. I splashed out and bought a barrel and drilled a hole in the top to put in a proper airlock but it hasn't really helped. Distilling's probably illegal but that's not really an issue.

>>18944186
When the weather gets warmer I'm gonna try my hand at making cider from apple juice rather than some gay supermarket homebrew crap. Alcohol is just yeast eating sugar inside a liquid anyway. 5 gallons of cheap apple juice won't be that expensive, neither will yeast.

>>18944198
I think it's the yeast that's been the problem for me. Next time I try it I'm going to go to a brewing store and get good yeast that hasn't been sitting on a warehouse shelf for six months before it gets to me. Wouldn't mind some cider though, I think I might actually try that instead of beer next time.

>>18944208
I figured it'll just be alcoholic fruit juice. It's a shame other fruit juices are so relatively expensive here. I wonder if cordial makes an okay substitute since that'd open up a whole world of shit. Mango cider sounds great.

>>18944218
Fuck, that's just flavoured sugar syrup. If you experiment with this make sure to report back. Next time I start a brew going I'm dumping a bottle of lime cordial in there just to see what happens.

Aldi's ownbrand weissbier is legitimately good for the money, at least in bongland
I find their beers are either ridiculously good value or undrinkable swill, no real in-between

>>18944244
>ridiculously good value
Don't tell anyone or else the brewery will spin off production under their own label and raise the price.

>>18943952
Wernesgrüner isn’t a knockoff brand, they’re a legit German brewer that have been around for literally centuries

>>18941377
>>18941498
>>18941792
>"The brewery was founded in 1436 [...]"
>couple hundred years more history that the US
>oh no no no

>>18944244
The best cheap one is Penny's Turmbräu weizen for 49 cents. Good old times when you got it for sale for 33 cents.

>>18944695
Fair enough, stand corrected, but it does seem like Aldi USA is trying to send a different message with the packaging.

>>18941498
Good point, I forgot about Urquell and I agree.

>>18944060
fucking hell, Straya's reputation is taking a hit here lads, what kind of faggot country doesn't sell beer in supermarkets

>>18944208
>>18944198
just make sure there is no preservative in the juice and go for a strong yeast like ec-1118 that can handle temp fluctuation or you'll get off flavors

>>18944088
Impressive Jenkm laboratory.

>>18941377
>>18941498
Kek based Czech Bros

>>18944244
the only aldi beer here that i've tried and considered dumping in the toilet was their tequila """beer"""
tastes like fucking fanta with a slight hint of alcohol
the rest is mediocre but cheap

>>18944198
just mix grape juice with bread yeast and sugar and you'll get something that's not even that bad
plenty of "tutorials" on youtube of retards doing just that

>>18944051
RIVET gold for me

>>18943315
in central europe, people would literally revolt if beer were anywhere close to being this expensive. you can get a tallboy of shitty beer for .50 euro and good beer for a euro. once a sizeable portion of the population consists of functional alcoholics, the government is hard pressed to keep booze prices low. i'm sorry for you, anon. australia, trudeauistan or the us?

>>18941530
Kiste auf Spiel du Fotze

>>18948271
>using the shitty blue label instead of rouge

Is the word "soy" excluded from wordfilters on this board like on /int/ because it's a valid ingredient? Just curious

>>18941288
Enjoy it you cunt, in fact you better pour one out for me because these went from €4.29 to €7.79 overnight here in my Irish Aldi because of minimum unit pricing.

>>18948208
in france the garbage wine is like €2/L lel, and beer in germany is ridiculously cheap

>>18948872
haha get fucked bruce, my local aldi that's a few m away sells 8,5% mediocre beer for less than €0,80/L

>>18944043
>sin tax
Oh, NOW these kikes care about morals
Build some guillotines, Bruce. You're due for a revolt.
