Mmm Beer....

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'.

It's one of those lagers that ebbs and flows in popularity, most all those are in the mediocre category.  I'd like to get ahold of some Grain Belt beer as another example, but it doesn't seem to be distributed far outside of Minnesota.

I've been drinking quite a bit of Shock Top lately.  I know, I know..it's an InBev product, but it's scary tasty as far as witbiers go.  I'm only buying them from the liqour stores though.  I'm going through my spring witbier phase and need to find a good one to try that's different.  I'm likely out to get another 12 of it today as well as maybe some Prairie

I'm going to collin's..I'll see if they have Grain Belt.  They do have quite the selection for sure

Since I'm moving more or less around the corner, Collins will likely become my new regular beer spot, their selection is pretty hard to beat.  My latest style is Kolsch.  I've got some home-brew in the kegerator right now and another fermenting.  A typical example of Kolsch will have up to 20% wheat in the malt and it uses a unique yeast. Fruh seems to be the only commercially-available genuine Cologne Kolsch in Oklahoma at the moment.  Along those lines, Ayinger has some good witbier.  I'll have to see what the one was I just had the other night.  Damn tasty.

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

You guys are way too young to be drinking beer. 

I remember when full strength Bud was $5/case of 24 cans ($4 when a friend's mom got it at the PX).  Using the inflation calculator, $5 would be $28.99 now.  About $7.25/6-pack, relatively inexpensive compared to the beer I like now.

$5 a case was damn cheap. And it was not great beer, but it was the right price.

I also had a great little bar behind one apartment that had dollar 32 oz schooner nights. If you drank 10 of them in one night, they put your name on the wall.


Doesn't look like it has changed much except these days it's $3 domestic Schooner Night.

I haven't ever been able to consume 10 quarts of beer in an entire day.

I think both my liver and my bladder might protest.

Anyone ever drink Scotch Buy (Safeway) or QT beer when you were dead broke? 

Everyone had to try a 6-pack, if nothing else than to relate to the experience.
"Ain't that right, Lamar?"

Maybe someone will bring back the Golden Piss of Danish Kings?

I don't believe I did.

My name is not on the wall, not that I didn't try. The place was literally half a block out of my back door. No Driving. Great place to miss class at on Fridays.

That's right.  Sorry, beer memory got me on that one, Swake.

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?

Mason's in the Brady Dist has Hamm's, normally on tap.

Anyone?



Cheap and God-awful
