I just found another cheap-ass beer at Trader Joe's. At $2.99 per 6-pack ($1 less than the still "great" Simpler Times Lager) I was able to manage my expectations pretty well. I cracked one and smelled it. My girlfriend described it best: "It smells like a 70's block party." It tastes pretty much like it smells. Its only distinguishing characteristic is an unpleasant twinge of sweetness that I've only tasted in Old Speckled Hen or dirty bar taps.Pros:
1. it's technically beer
2. the logo that screams "I don't give a fuck" from 50 yards
3. it's dirt cheap
Cons:
1. it tastes like dirt

Dude, it's worth it if only for the logo.
Wow. Now I want a cooler full of that stuff, a grimy John Deere hat, and a folding lawn chair for my next trip to a horse pull. I'd fit right in!
All true. If you could swap the beer from Simpler Times and the Red Oval logo, it would be the world's best worst beer.
Update: Trader Joe's has rebranded this beer. It is now "Name Tag Lager." The new logo is similar, but the old one is better.
