71 - Cheap Craft Lager (Last Spike Brewery vs. La Brasseurs RJ vs. Mt. Begbie Brewery)

Months ago, the boys at Domestic Pints ONLY issued a challenge: try to find a cheap 'craft' lager under $3.00. And after some searching, and finally a day where we could all chat together, we found them and delivered! This week, John, Tom, and Alex discuss their selections of surprisingly inexpensive beer outside the typical InBev/Miller Coors conglomerate. First up is Alex with Last Spike Brewery's THE DUKE lager. Following that is John with the classic cheap Quebec brew: TREMBLAY BLONDE. Last up is Tom, as we sample the plaid-branded REVELSTOKE LAGER from Mt. Begbie Brewery. Alex also talks briefly about his experience at the Guinness Brewery in Ireland and also buying Bud Light at an Irish pub (we sort of digress into talking regional difference with macro beers). Finally we wrap up with our scores. Not only were these beers cheap, but surprisingly good! See, craft brewing isn't JUST chocolate milk imperial dry hopped stouts! Next week, we will be back with another brewery spotlight from Ontario - stay tuned!
