When I go home to Franconia/Bavaria I really do a time warp and drink beer from breweries that have been around 600-800 years. | |||

Strohs, and Rainier when I was in high school, college was mostly Lucky Lager and Heidelberg. Right now in my garage I have an old half rack of empty Heidelberg I kept back in the day for some reason. Perhaps in 10,000 years it will be priceless. | |||

unless I missed it, I'm surprised no on mentioned Old Milwaukee. That was the cheapest beer and therefore mostly what we drank at college in the early 70's | |||

Rolling Rock is actually not bad, it’s a very light, inoffensive pale lager but not a piss brew like some being described in this thread. Used to be brewed in Latrobe, PA until about 15 years ago when the brand was sold and now it’s produced somewhere in NJ. A good summer beer actually | |||

it is still out there, they changed the pull tab top, that if you could drink all 6 , and least one of them would slice your finger(s) open, to a screw top, tried some 6 yrs ago or so, it was as bad as I remembered it https://chandlersfirearms.com/chesterfield-armament/ | |||

as a beer snob, and hop head (like a good IPA) when I have pizza, Miller High Life or Coors Banquet (yellow jacket) is mighty fine https://chandlersfirearms.com/chesterfield-armament/ | |||

ditto, it was bought by Budweiser, (or the parent company) who closed the plant and moved production, some say not quite the same, but been to long for me to remember, used to buy the pony bottles on ocassion https://chandlersfirearms.com/chesterfield-armament/ | |||

squeegee beer, when ggod beer bubbles over the vat and they squeegee it up off the floor -- you know like black label and PBR schiltz was decent beer, at least i thought so in the 70s as a teenager, it got a bad rap from an advertisement campaign, and never recovered nowadays give me the champaign of beers, its just good beer -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- All his life he tried to be a good person.

Anyone ever have Little Kings cream ale? A Cincinnati beer made by Schoenling brewery. Came in 7 ounce bottles, drank a ton of them 30 years ago. | |||

yep, they were a staple around UI late 70’s always one of the bar specials it seems. The Old Style was another, sure sign of a Chicago student. ----------The weather is here I wish you were beautiful---------- | |||

Buckhorn, Olympia, Great Falls Select and a number of other cheap beers were available to us as teens in Montana. Beer is what you did in a logging and mining area. Here in Helena there are several fine beers made locally and through the Western side of the state. Bad beer is in rear view mirror of life. | |||

This brings back memories of a business conference trip to New Orleans. Someone had me do a blind taste test of Schlitz, Jax, and Dixie. Schlitz was far and away the best. This is the golden age of beer, isn't it? _________________________ “Remember, remember the fifth of November!" | |||

most all the old regional beers all got bought out by G Heilmann. through a number of buy outs and junk bond sales they have ended up under the Pabst umbrella ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Live today as if it may be your last and learn today as if you will live forever | |||

I'm with you! But I don't think it's quite the same since it got bought out and is no longer made in Belleville. I used to buy it in these short, wide bottles.  "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

While I was in high school, my band frequently played at the Circle Tap just out of Green Bay. I believe Thursdays were "Miller Night" where you could buy 7 Miller High Lifes for a buck. You had to get them all at once in a bucket. The drinking age wa 18 for beer - or at least close to 18. I think I made $40 a night. Almost enough for 300 beers. I'm sorry if I hurt you feelings when I called you stupid - I thought you already knew - Unknown ................................... When you have no future, you live in the past.
