IPA'S are all I will drink now. Don't care for the sweet stuff though.

Anybody remember Pfeiffer’s? Had breweries in both Detroit and Flint. Was bought out and closed in ‘72.
“Johnny Fifer” was their mascot.

Schlitz, Hamm's, Olympia. I drank all of these "back in 'the day'" (as well as others like Keystone, Old Milwaukee and Pabst Blue Ribbon) because they were cheap, but haven't seen them for years.

Yeah...Rainier. Brings back memories. Not all of them great. But it was cheap and plentiful being the local brand of choice. A kid could find it everywhere, often with a sympathetic clerk at the cash register.
Conversely it was funny seeing the brand make a brief comeback and actually win awards during the early years of the local microbrew industry's growth and expansion.
"Rolling Rock"...when that brand hit the west coast it was actually marketed here in the PNW as a premium microbrew, sold alongside with all the usual craft beers of the day. Never tried it, though; a friend during the 80s originally from Indiana told me about its cheap and sketchy history, so skip that one I did.

I remember buying 12 packs of Meisterbrau in the early 80s in college, 3 bucks. Way cheaper than Bud, Hamms, Oly, etc. Also this delightful brew was a cheapie:

Well I kind of like Stag, I don't love it but if in IL I will happily order it. I used to get it with cod cut ups in a dive bar in Belleville.
Now if I could only find Lowenbrau

I am the OP. In college, I mostly drank PBR. The weekend I turned 21, Busch was 79 cent a six pack and we bought a lot.
In Vietnam, it was mostly PBR and Bud. It was ten cents a can. While stationed in Texas, it was Lone Star and Pearl as they were cheap and both had nice breweries in town. Lone Star would let drink as much as I wanted and my wife would drink orange pop. They had lots of guns and western stuff on display also.
Over the past 50 years it has been Bud, Bud Light, PBR, Coors Light and now Coors.
