Funny you associate me with Keystone Light. My oldest sister and her husband, renowned tight asses, drank that all the time. They knew no one else would drink so they wouldn't have to share with anyone. Olympia was my beer of choice in college. No one would fuck with my beer until late in the evening when all the other beer was gone. By then they were plowed and didn't think Oly tasted half bad.
Old friend of my father's knew I was an Oly drinker, so he asks me "did you hear they quit making Oly?" Then he follows up with "they had to. The Budweiser Clydesdales died."
Speaking of bad beers from the past, my uncle used to buy Brown Derby for about $4 a case at our local Safeway. That was nasty, nasty shit.
While we're on beer, $1.35 a sixer was usual price for Bud, Coors, Oly, et. al. Local liquor store (remember those?) used to run $5/ case specials.
Had one here in Tulare called Drive-In Liquor. They sold liquor and ammo. Hunters used to stock up there.
some of my favorite beer stories were in Mexico used to pack up the motorcycles and head into Baja w San Felipe as the goal line sort of along the way we'd hit TJ first and leave the truck on the US side (not the acid and humble pie trip) then come back and start the drive down stopping all along the way we'd managed to locate the breweries somehow and i guess it wasn't that hard since we were derelicts of the highest degree but i remember a case of corona, pacifico, tecate and modelo going for like $7 so we always had an ice chest full gave rise to the infamous "bueno white boy" phrase one trip maybe i'll tell it in the walking thread its a pretty fun story
Love Torpedos. This is one of my favorites as well but I wonder how much me liking it has to do with the cool ass design...
Grossest thing I've ever had was 4 Lokos in college. Two of those for $5 and I was knocked out but they were liquid poison...man did they taste like shit MD 20/20 too...my stomach just turned thinking about those drinks
