Genny Screamers; weaned on the stuff and love it.

Rolling Rock on the other hand smells and tastes like skunks.

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?

Good morning.

I missed seeing Fisher's and Buckhorn on the list. Both are real head splitters, and cheap enough to buy plenty to do the job well.

Maybe the world is lucky and they are not brewed anymore.

The worst I've ever had was "33".

"Hamm's, the beer refreshing...."

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.

I'm definitely not a beer snob. Hell, I'll drink anything as long as it's cold. However, my Dad brews his own. I'll help him sometimes and always help him bottle. Usually does about 12 gallons a time. I've never had any better. I've always been partial to Guinness but Dad makes a stout that leaves Guinness in the dust. We don't get to drink a lot of it cause when the word gets out that the beer is ready to drink folks come out of the woodwork for a few "samples". To me, drinking homebrew or "craft" beer is not very practical. A six pack of Coors, ice cold, is pretty satisfying.

Never had a problem with Falstaff. It always seemd to be an OK beer.

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).

I do remember. And this one.

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

"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?

Good morning.

The Army, in it's wisdom, used to give us utility trailers full of Carling Black Label, Pabst Blue Ribbon and ice for our unit parties.

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.

Good gravy. Powder blue. The regular stuff is purple. Ugly inside and out!

Yeah, the Hamm's commercials were really neat for their time (50's), excellent animated cartoons and I think they were all animals (bear, beaver, etc.)

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.
