Mmm Beer....

I knew this would happen after I stopped drinking Beer a year and a half ago. Hell I was a cornerstone of the industry.

All pretty crappy beers, too...

Yep a bunch of unremarkable swill.  One of the worst hangovers I ever had was the result of LaBatt's Blue.

Too many good micro/regional brews that are so much better. A new one just opened in Coos Bay, 7 Devils Brewing that I need to go check out.

Go figure. Oklahoma drinkers prefer Beer.

I've been really surprised at the comeback that Pearl is making...that crap is crap.

No way. I had not heard that Pearl was making a comeback. The best thing it had was the puzzles inside the caps. The real sad thing is. Me and my buddies did drink a lot of Pearl back in the day.

Is it mainly the hipster crowd?  I started buying Lone Star again last year after drinking it rarely after high school.  I guess I wasn't even aware that Pearl was still around.

Anyone ever drink Scotch Buy (Safeway) or QT beer when you were dead broke?  Hamm's and Black Label were another cheapo.  If I remember right, Whorehouse Market would have it for $1.59 or $1.99 a six pack.

Little Kings. Nuff said.

Those went down like cream with a beer bong.  Perfect size for bonging.

We had a saying about QT beer when I was in high school. "Quitin' Time Beer, smooth, but nasty"

In college we drank Weidemans. I think it was like $5 a case for bottles.

Hamm's is quite popular here in the PNW, some bars have it on tap next to PBR. Lone Star, I remember driving to TX and bringing it back to Tulsa in the early 80's. Pearl, remeber buying that when it was $8.00 a case. Somewhere I think I have an empty QT beer can, didn't they sell that for like $1.85 a six pack?

That was a hang-over waiting to happen.

I remember Malt Duck was all the rage with HS girls back then.  Blech!

haha, I 've got a sixer of LS in the fridge right now.

The only reason I have it is because I saw Matthew McConaughey's character in "True Detective" drink a smileload of it during the course of the series.  I then realized it was the only beer on the show.  Wonder how much they paid HBO or whomever for that product placement.  Because after having one bottle of it last week, I dubbed it 'mediocre'.
