Bad beer is good for mixing up to put on the lawn to control thatch. It's a great way to use up what no one will drink!
One beer my hubby and neighbors used to just love, and thought was a GREAT beer was Augsburger (sp?) Dark. I don't think they make it anymore.
Lucky Lager also came in those 11 ounce bottles, therefore shorting you a beer out of a 12-pack. Those puzzles were neat though, and could function as a sobriety test. For me, Lucky Lager was a military thing. It really was miserable beer, but back then we didn't care and it was cheap.
No two ways about it - he is that.
Still bowing in admiration to that trick you came up with. Awesome.
Elementary stuff, just used in a fresh way I think.
That's amazing. I haven't seen a picture do that before!
Falstaff, if it's good enough for John Wayne, It's good enough for me. A warm Falstaff was all we had to offer him when he came to visit us in Vietnam, and he enjoyed every bit of it
My mother used to drink Pearl Light while we were growing up. At 62 calories a can, it was the lightest beer she could find during the '70s.
Ah, good ole Iron City. But their saying ("This is City Living") is more accurate if you substitute "sh" for the "c" in "city".
"Before 1970 or so Schlitz was a fairly decent beer, then all of a sudden it became swill. I can only guess the company pulled a "New Coke"(cheaper) kind of recipe."
Not quite, but close. It's all here...

I tend to agree about the pricing of some of the beers you mention. Nothing special about them.
Augsburger: Once a staple of Monarch Brewery on Chicago's Southwest Side and later brewed according to a rich all-malt recipe by the Huber Brewing Co., this beer became a Chicago favorite during the late 1970s to the mid-1980s. After changing hands a couple more times, the label was quietly buried by Stroh in 2000.
The Stevens Point Brewery recently picked up the rights to brew Augsburger, and assures Chicagoans that the beer will be brewed as it once was during its time at Huber. "We modified the formula to use 100 percent barley malt, hops, water and yeast," notes Point's master brewer John Zappa. "The result is more of a smooth, flavorful, well balanced lager." Currently being test-marketed in key Wisconsin cities, "Augie" may be in local stores in the near future.
Where's Lone Star? Texas steer piss.
Yer a bozo.
I should know.
How'd you get Calvin transparent?
That's the block I'm stumbled up on.
