Am a fan of good Pilsners or Belgian Whites or just good/ different micro brew varieties.
Recently put some thought to it and the beers I like (HArpoon USB, Pilsner Urquell, Stella, Flying Fish brands, Victory brands, Blue Moon- I know... its owned by Coors, but its pretty damn good, etc....) were running me $9 to $10 per 6 pack.
Recently I started buying Yueng Ling (not sure I am spelling it right) which is pretty darn good in its own right.... and is more like $6 per 6 pack.
I like the pricier beers more.... but do I like them 40% more??????
That said... what are some good beers that do not break the bank??

Yeungling and Molson for me. There is also a beer brewed in Pittburgh called Duquense, which sells for $16 a case, no matter where you are. Not a bad beer for the money.
Sierra Nevada Torpedo. It's an IPA that gives you good bang for the buck: 7.2% ABV. They sell 24 oz. bottles at my grocery for $2.99. I'll be getting torpedoed tonight, in fact.
Watch the sales and you can usually find Fat Tire, Full Sail, Red Hook, Shiner Bock and Sierra Nevada on sale for about $6-$7 a six pack. If I am really watching my budget sometimes I will get the private label grocery store brands. Some chains like Kroger and Supervalue are selling their own brand of IPA's and craft beer. Not the best, but will do in a pinch if you are watching your wallet. Last but not least Henry Weinard's is not too bad of a budget beer.
The best tasting of your typical American swill beer is Rolling Rock. I call it my "lawnmower" beer, after working in the yard for a few hours an ice cold Rolling Rock doesn't taste that bad.

Yeah, Duquense works when things are tight. Better tasting IMO than Rolling Rock. I don't think Duq has much distribution outside PA though.
I've seen Yuengling priced more like a 'craft' beer in places outside PA/MD/WV like Leinie's is priced in PA and it's not worth that.
We can't get beer at Trader Joes in PA but when I've had their house beers, they're not bad. Similar in quality to Henry Weinhards.
