Beers gone by (bye?)

[Blackfoot58]

Around 20 cans of Red White & Blue were given to me and a friend when were both under age. Free beer to 17 year olds! 🥳🎊 It was so bad we couldn’t drink it. We threw the cans in the air and shot them, aka clay pigeons.

I get Yuengling here sometimes.

One of my favorites!

When I drink beer it's usually Yuengling. If my sister goes to Ohio to visit her kids I have her bring me back some Little Kings. I drank Strohs as a young man. Very partial to Irish Whiskey now.

LOL, drank a lot of Little Kings and Stroh’s in the mid 70s. Use to bring Little Kings back to Florida on vacations for parties.

Little Kings were good, but they were in 7 oz bottles which made them perfect "little shooters".

I remember others in the small bottles. Miller Highlife was in this area

Hopefully this is one beer that does go bye bye!

I wish I had not seen this. The world is going mad! But, it makes me want to go to a quiet, secluded area and see if I can find something cool.

I remember a big billboard on the highway with the “Sterling girl”. That would have been the early 60’s.

Budweiser is no longer the king of beers, it is now the queen of beers.

No Dylan, I said a BUTT light.

Heidelberg, Lucky Lager, Olympia, Rheinlander, Old Style .... I think the brands live on but very limited distribution. It seems everything got bought up and the big boys took over market share.

I forgot about Olympia! The Artesians made it. It was big in our area for 5-8 years.

We still have Old Stool, but it went from price point cheapie to $27 a case. They had the best radio commercials at one time.

I cut my beer teeth on Rainier, and Olympia. I toured the Olympia beer brewery in 1972. And the Tuborg brewery in Copenhagen in 1978. Now I tour the beer isle at WalMart.

PBR was my mainstay in the 70's. I drank quite a bit of it warm ( ice melted ), which should be like a Purple Heart award in the beer drinking world.

Let’s get an argument going. Harry Caray was a St Louis Cardinal announcer for ages. Due to a “problem” with the Busch family he fled to Chicago. Began announcing for the HATED cubbies. He deservedly became an icon. He did a lot of Budweiser commercials AFTER moving to the Windy City. I’m a Cub Fan and a Bud Man.., what beer did ol’ Harry really drink (by preference) in those early 1980s? Even at Busch Stadium. I watched him with binoculars from my outfield seats many times. Clue: they were brought in in a Playmate 6 pack cooler, tall boys, and a brand definitely NOT sold at Busch Stadium. Guesses??

I retired, normal beer was about $9 / 12 pack of cans. Now, $14. Biden really did stimulate the economy. I’m spending a lot more since I’ve had his “stimulus help.”

that's right... dollars are round so that they will roll!

I don't drink too much beer anymore. I'll buy a six-pack. Something different each time. Usually no more than $10.00. Seems high, until I consider the last time I bought a bottled beer in a bar two years ago, it cost me $7.00. For a Yuengling.
