They've had the blue cans for 20 years, but they still look wrong to me
Back around 1977, I went to a bar in Farmington New Mexico with friends and had a few. I remember I drank Coors from a bottle and it was the worst beer I ever drank!
I had to drink several Olympias (Made with Tumwater) to get the taste out of my mouth.
Why Olympia? Because I could not chase down a dog to kiss it’s butt to get the Coors flavor out of my mouth!
That’s a new one on me.
So, what yer sayin’ is that ya don’t like Coors.
Southern select? I don’t remember if it is a beer or liquor. Also Lucky Lager. Used to buy it for 99 cents a six pack in the mid seventies.
Cincy beers: Burger, Hudepohl, Wiedemann, Top Hat and Little Kings Cream Ale. The weekends of my high school years.
It is a brewery in Munich that is owned by Anheuser-Busch InBev.
Actually drank this stuff when I was young and poor.
Here's the relevant part of the Wikipedia entry on Lowenbrau:
In 1975, Miller Brewing acquired the North American rights to Löwenbräu. Miller began brewing Löwenbräu with an Americanized recipe, and exports of Munich Löwenbräu to North America ceased.In 1999, the North American rights to Löwenbräu passed to the Labatt Brewing Company, which began to brew Löwenbräu in Canada for both the Canadian and US markets with the same recipe used in Germany.
Labatt's production of Löwenbräu ended in 2002 and exports of Munich Löwenbräu to North America resumed, although on a much smaller scale than had been the case before the Miller deal.
In 1997, Löwenbräu merged with Spaten-Franziskaner-Bräu to form the Spaten-Löwenbräu-Gruppe, which was sold to Interbrew in 2003.
In 2004, Interbrew merged with AmBev to form InBev, which in 2005 acquired Anheuser-Busch to form Anheuser-Busch InBev.
Proposals to relocate the Löwenbräu brewery out of the Munich city center have failed, despite the company's international ownership. Today, Löwenbräu has one of the oldest beer gardens in Munich.
Narragansett Beer. Wasn’t that Quint’s beer of choice?
REGAL(spelled backward LAGER) beer in Miami 1945!
My Dad was Assistant Refrigeration Engineer on site.

Sorry, no pictures but the Schaefer Beer jingle was “Scahefer, the one beer to have when you’re having more than one.” No way that would be a commercial today.
So here’s the thing... Some of my friends are beer snobs. Some are just assholes (like me). They talk about some obscure IPA or super small quantity craft brew as if it is the culmination of human achievement. Reminds me of the days we would listen to college stations playing alternative rock: “How can you listen to that band, they’re so commercial, you should be listening to (fill in the 15 seconds of fame blank garage band)”. Well, sparky here’s the deal your favorite band sucked then and your favorite beer sucks now.
I like beer. Beer seems to lime me too. It’s a great relationship. We don’t see each other a lot, but when we do it’s a good to see an old friend. Yeah, sometimes it goes a little too far - like a hook-up with your crazy ex-wife. And I’m sorry about that too, I didn’t y’all used to be a thing.
Anyway here’s the point: Sam Adams makes a good beer (Boston Lager) and steadily offer up other various hoppy sudsy wonderfulness. Currently interviewing their Rebel IPA for a part-time Summer position. I like the creativeness, variation, but beer should taste like beer- and Sam Adams seems to do that.
Allow me to address the congregation... Benjamin Franklin said that beer is proof that God loves you and wants you to be happy. Can I get an Amen? For proof, do we not have to look any farther than Colt .45? Bill Dee Williams himself says it works every time - and he sure looks happy. Amen! Amen! But Church, I’m here to tell you there’s EVIL! Evil I say! For it is written, he-ith who-ith drink-ith fru-fru-ith apple beer, lemonade beer, and other abominations are surely-ith, condemn-ith, to-ith the-ith pit-ith of hell for such abominations (Spaten 13:97).
I worry often about our great country and the generations that will follow after we’re laying six feet under pushing up barley. I worry about these 20-somethings drinking fake beer concoctions intended for snowflakes that can’t hold their whiskey or job that requires a toolbox. That’s not our strong, wild and fiercely independent American culture. For the sake of America’s future, but that misguided foolish kid a real beer. A good cold beer.
How about these, an old school New York brand, the brewery was around 96th and 3rd Avenue, it was demolished to make way for public housing highrises, which still bear the name of the beer.
