I'm a college student. I like to drink quite often. And February is
the cruelest month: it's cold, there are fewer parties than in other months,
and the semester is only beginning, so I'm constantly reminded of the massive
term assignments that I desperately need to begin (but will not). All of
this is conducive to my buying and drinking multiple 30-packs a week as I play video
games, watch basketball, or, honestly, am simply not busy with anything else.
There are two important words in the preceding sentence that shape my criteria
for a good beer: "buying," and "multiple." Indeed, I
need a beer that I can enjoyably drink large quantities of, and I need a beer
that I can buy. And while Admin Tam continues to spend $25 for a
30-pack of Miller Lite, I will sit back and laugh with a Keystone Light in my
hand.
Yes, perhaps the most flavorful, smooth, and cost-efficient beer on the
market, Keystone Light satisfies all of the daily beer drinker’s standards. In
the area I live, thirty “stones,” as they are affectionately marketed by Coors
Brewing Co., cost only $16 before taxes. Do you happen to know what the
only other beer you can buy at this price is? Milwaukee’s Special Reserve Ice,
an overkill drunkard’s beer which, while effective, boasts nowhere near the
drinkability of my beloved stones. One reason Keystone's price is so
wonderful is its alcohol content. At 4.1%, this brew provides a terrific
drinking experience: no matter the amount you consume, you aren't likely to tip
over and pass out. Yet, in my experience, you won’t ever feel the need to down
this beer as quickly as you can. Compared to its big brother, Coors
Light, Keystone has a similar flavor, albeit less potent, and is about
two-thirds the price.
At Keystone's price point, I do not believe a better beer may be purchased.
Of course, beer snobs condemn it as the stereotypical, flavorless American
lager. These guys can shut up. I've adopted Keystone as my go-to
brew in part because it isn't flavorless. I don't
care if it is "stereotypical"--I'm a 22-year old looking for
efficient drinking habits; if “stereotypical” equates to "efficiency" in
this case, then so be it. Seriously, give Keystone Light a try: it’s
refreshing on the tongue, and on the wallet.
