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! :-)
Took a sip, just a sip of Rainier beer. >gak< but then, Old Heidelberg was worse.
PS -the old Olympia brewery is still closed. Big For Sale sign still flapping on one building.
