Victory Golden Monkey Beer

Not all beers are created equal, and as any bum on the corner will tell you, there are beers with a higher alcohol content — cheaper than Budweiser, in the bum’s case (Steel Reserve comes to mind) and slightly more expensive than Bud, in this case. Victory Golden Monkey ($10 a six-pack) from Victory brewery in Pennsylvania has a relatively fruity, summery flavor, and an ass-kicking alcohol content of 9.5% (approx. 3 Budweisers). Great for drinking with food, or just to get really drunk really fast.
