Where and when I got into Tbird, Boone’s Farm was not around and Mad Dog cost more. Mad Dog was the venerable tradition of the old commercial fishermen who passed out in the park.
Boon’s Farm existed but this was a pretty isolated area and back then the Sheriff really was the local Boss. There was no Federal presence at all and the State was limited to a highway patrol station at the west end of town. When I was in SF in 67 I discovered Boone’s Farm. I found I preferred Tbird. I guess it’s what you get used to. I tried some Tbird a couple of years ago just for old times and discovered it really is BAD. That impression is probably helped because I haven’t drunk as much in the last 30 years as I probably did in any 6 months period back then.

I reckon it was downright awful.
Some time ago my kid brought some ratty wine (maybe boons) up to our cabin and I had a taste.
I swear it had Vicks 44 in it. A sip was all I needed. I didn’t remember it being that bad, as in they changed the formula or I grew taste buds over the years.
I forgot another horrible one: Manashevitz (I’m sure my spelling is WAY off here)
That was kind of premium though, every once in awhile you’d see someone had brought that to a party. Nasty.
