$4.29 for 16 oz returnables in 1975. It was great.

Oh my...my days in Oneonta were filled with the nightmares called “Genny Screamers”....to this day my innards still fear that bear....
The company knew that people called it "The Beast", or Milwaukee's Beast".
About 10 years ago, they had a short-lived ad campaign with the slogan "Unleash the Beast!"
I used to drink tons of that stuff back in college. I thought it tasted pretty decent, much better than most of the other cheapie beers.
I just looked up beer syrup and the only thing I saw commercially with that description came out of China.
Baltika 4 or Baltika 6... Depends on whether I want a light or dark beer at the time.
Although these days Imperial and Tona are easier to get.
Blitz, Olympia....
Benchmarks from my college days. Clint drank Oly in a movie I saw once.

1.) Milwaukee's Best Light ("The Beast") - A college favorite. Tasted like Miller Lite, but made for bad hangovers.
2.) Old Milwaukee ("Old Swill") - Actually was pretty decent. I used to get it for 79 cents a quart at the local gas station.
3.) Schaefer Light - Used to buy 6-packs with ashtray change on base when I was a broke-ass 2nd Lieutenant.
4.) Lucky Lager - 11-ounce bottles, puzzle on underside of bottle cap, and cool 12-pack box. The beer wasn't half bad. How could you NOT like it? BTW, the 12-pack box (the only way I ever saw it sold) always made for a great arm rest on my pickup's bench seat driving home from the store. Sadly, it's not made anymore.
General rule for me is, if you have to have a lime with it to cover the taste, it ain’t really beer drinking. Check the country of origin for an equine UTI epidemic.
Original Miller is fantastic when you get it fresh. It is too often spoiled in the clear bottle.
“One beer, Yuengling”
Shame they don’t ship it out West.
I love Russian Imperial Stouts.
Oh yes, another blast from the past, Brew 102, Made in fricking Downtown Los Angeles up until around 1980 or so. Cheap nasty stuff.
I’m surprised it took someone so long to mention Sierra Nevada. In my humble opinion SNBC is making the best mass- produced beer in the country right now.
Wish I was living where you were in the 70s
They make Iron City by peeing in the Ohio River. They make Yuengling by Shiiteing in the Schuykill.
The purity and solvent properties of our famous artesian water enable us to attain perfection in the art of brewing. ... Olympia beer.

I thought Annakin Skywalker killed all the Yuenglings.
The worst beers were “Pearl..Louisianan horse piss” and “Carling black label.”
I love beer and my favorite is from Mexico...#1 is Corona.
Believe it or not, due to German immigrants long ago into Mexico and their expert brewing skills, they make some of the best pilsner beer available.
