What, no Colt 45? Maybe it's a PC list....
Genny Screamers; weaned on the stuff and love it.
Rolling Rock on the other hand smells and tastes like skunks.
Falstaff?
Dizzy Dean on the CBS game of the week with Pee Wee Reese? Diz seemed to delight in prouncing it Greasy...
Yes!!! Black label beer is #3!!!! That's the beer we bought for our parties in college...$4.99 for a case...suffice to say we made a lot of money...And it is just nasty beer, but after a dozen don't they all kind of taste the same anyway?
No but I remember Schlitz, it was pretty bad.
Wow! I remember their cartoon commercial with the bear when I was a kid.
They used to have the slogan "From the land of sky-blue water"
One of my uncles once embarrassed all the ladies at the ladies at our family dinner table by telling of a Hamm's Beer contest. He said that you can win a free ice-chest/cooler just for drinking Hamm's Beer.
My mother took the bait and asked how much did a person have to drink to win...and his reply "Until you pee 'sky-blue water'".
I had to grab my glass of iced tea and put it up to my mouth (I was 11 at the time) to keep from laughing my face off.
If the list was for"Fifty worse beers of all time", Billy Beer would have made it.
My real preferences were Lohenbrau (back in the 60's...college fave) and Killian's Red Ale (ever since my first bottle, in the 80's).
Tigers, Tigers burning bright
In the ballparks of the night
Your pitching's fair, your field adroit
So why no pennants for Detroit?
You blaze around the big league parks
With bats that fairly give off sparks
Then from on high, while sitting pretty
You blow four games in Kansas City.
There's more that I forget
ICEHOUSE should be on the list.
"Until you pee 'sky-blue water'"
Funny!
That was a bazillion years ago;) IIRC, had a little Indian drum beat. Wasn't there a beaver slapping its tail in the commercial, too?
40 yrs ago, we would sail at Hanford Bay on Lake Erie. One hand could hold a line and a Genny Junior (6 oz, I think).
The other hand was for a Camel.
Not exactly a Daily Bikini Babe!
Good gravy. Powder blue. The regular stuff is purple. Ugly inside and out!
They always came on during whatever followed the 10PM News in Iowa and I always knew when I heard that drumbeat that I was in the twilight zone of being up too late to have a smooth awakening for school the next morning.
A couple years ago I was able to find a Hamm's sixpack at a local Publix Supermarket and I really enjoyed it, but I think it was 90% nostalgia that made it taste so good.
