5 Great Light Beers For The End Of Summer In New York
I’m not fancy enough for a $12 IPA; college beer pong made sure of that 20 years ago. No trendy "headache beers" for me, thanks. Give me volume, not potency.
Pabst Blue Ribbon
Hand it over. A frosty tall boy or two, and leave one unopened so I can shotgun it in the bathroom when the bouncers not looking
Miller High Life
The champagne of beers, in a glass bottle. Tied for my top spot, especially when I'm rocking my sick High Life jacket from their website. Summer means Pony Packs—7oz bottles I wield like an old pro.
Narragansett
Tall boy cans, unless it's the retro Jaws edition. "Crush it like Quint." This New England Lager never fails. Six tall boys, please. Believe it or not there's even a "Narragansett Light"
Genesee Light
An empire state classic. Hard to find and even harder to put down. Down on the table that is. Not hard to put down your gullet. Brewed out of Rochester New York. The perfect consolation beverage after getting laid off from KODAK
Michelob Ultra
Before you scoff, give it a whirl. If I'm desperate, it's my hail-Mary before settling for a Corona or something equally bland.
And there you have it! From my frothy lips to your ears. Your ultimate summer guide to a binge-worthy session without breaking the bank or breaking yourself. Don't bother me with you Quality over Quantity argument. I've got beer ponging and summer time binge drinking to do.
Cheers to that Hudson Valley!
