I have never bought Budweiser or any light beer if something else costs less.
Mostly, you are paying for advertising if you pay more. Advertising does not improve the taste.
When I was in HS, the Katz drugstore had its own brand, Katz Beer 69 cents a six pack.
Schlitz was cheaper for a while, long ago, but Blatz was cheaper than that.
Then for a long time, Brigade had the lowest price.
Brigade went bankrupt, I hear.
Someone imported a lot of Brazilian beer from the Petropolis Brewery, and it was on sale at a store called Uncle Bucks.
It was several months out of date, so it cost around 70 cents per 12 oz bottle, tax included.
It was really good beer, a bit sweeter and foamier than other brands. I bought four 24 oz cases at a time.
But now it is all gone and Yuengling Lager 24 oz bottles cost about 99 cents a beer.
I don't drink enough to make any impact, so I am not boycotting any brand.
