The Beer Thread

Used to buy Blatz beer for $2.60 a twelve pack. My neighbor Bing and I could always scrape up enough for a couple of cases. Course we would have one hell of a headache the next day. When I was young and dumb while working on custom combining teams cutting wheat from Texas to Canad, we could wait to get up to South Dakota so we could buy Grain Belt Beer. Later while in the Air Force, Olympia, or Oly as we called it, was pretty popular but it was wide mouth Schlitz that was really popular when I was on the island of Ie Shima, just off the coast of Okinawa back in '69. After I left the AF, my father-in-law introduced me to Drewerys Beer. How about Jaz Beer. Remember the jingle "From the lans of sky blue waters?" Some good older beers.

Remember Schaefer?
 
Jax Brewery in the French Quarter in New Orleans, went out of business in the mid seventies due to the building and most of the equipment being from the late 1800s and would be too costly to upgrade, it's now a tourist attraction.

I had forgotten that Pabst bought out Stroh a few years back. Used to drink Schaefer alot back during my drinking days. Anyone remember Erlanger? Someone give me a case of that once, thought it was pretty good but couldn't find it anywhere.

Sam Adams Wee Heavy 10% Scottish style ale....good stuff from their Imperial series.
 
Busch Bavarian Beer, sold in Fla in the early 70's. Almost the same label as Busch today but with a big red circle around "Busch Bavarian Beer". Completely different beer than what's sold today and that stuff you could drink and enjoy

Was your father down south because it wasn't sold in the North East. Same as Coors wasn't sold in certain parts of the country at one time.
 
Olympia. Plain white cans that said "BEER." Coors (I think). Those are some things I remember being in the fridge when I was young.
 
Generic beer, I remember that. Buddy drank it, "pretty good stuff" he said.

He traveled for work sometimes, south, the Midwest, and West coast.
 
I was driving down the road and saw an overturned beer transport trailer. Hundreds of cans of beer fell out. I got ready to slam my brakes so I could stop and fill the back of my car up...- then I saw it was only Bud Light, so I kept on driving. :D
 
Andy you're so full of sh!t, according to you you're 23 years old and on a shoestring budget and that equates to free beer is free beer regardless of the brand. :p

From the land of sky blue waters. Not a bad beer, but back there, there wasn't all that many beers to choose from compared to today.

Now that I think of it, I remember Hamms being in the fridge too. Those were not the good old days.

Hey wait, those were some of the days that I could buy a case of Blatz for less than three bucks, a twelve pack for a buck thirty.
 
After all this pumpkin talk I've been tryin for thirty minutes to stuff a pumpkin into a bottle of Bud Light, no luck yet.
