You forgot the worst of the worst in the PNW and that was Old Heidelberg beer, the stubbies. Remember them?
There was some sort of Malt Liquor that I bought as a college student in the stubbies. Wasn't "Old Heidelberg", but it *did* have a German name.
$1.25 a six. My roomate and I would scare up some money from deposits, some change from the couch cushions, and whatever poker winnings we had, and get absolutely wrecked for five bucks.
Paid the price the next day though. What the heck, at 18 we didn't know any better! :-)
Heidelberg stubbies were cool, they were barrel-shaped.
No, Brown Derby was tied with Schmidt for the worst of the worst. Heidelberg was my beer of choice in high school.
