Want to go halfsies?<BR/>Fianlly, in 1984, my friends and I were known to be cost conscious swillers of a brew called Bavarian Club. A case of reteunable bottles was around $2. Note that the deposit on those bottles was $2.40. We never needed a laxative near as I can remember.Pauliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12557768429550185693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19838051.post-91189915412253723662009-01-31T16:31:00.000-06:002009-01-31T16:31:00.000-06:00We did have a similar conversation, NW.

It's "hoppy" all right and too heavy. For me, getting to the bottom of a Surly becomes a slog. <BR/><BR/>I rarely partake now and when I do I prefer ales, especially since I'll likely only drink one. Newcastle (Newky) Brown was one I especially enjoyed when I lived in England and I'll still have one of those when the mood hits. It's sweeter and lighter than a lot of ales. I'll also take a cold Guiness or "black and tan" (Guiness and Harp combined). The Summit folks do a good job with their offerings. <BR/><BR/>I laugh at the Bud Light "drinkability" commercials. Basically what they're saying is "drinking our beer is as close to drinking plain water as you can get, and only slightly more expensive than an Aquafina from a vending machine." <BR/><BR/>Feh.<BR/><BR/>And didn't we have a similar conversation back in August? http://thenightwriterblog.powerblogs.com/posts/1219668252.shtmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19838051.post-8095327719923287192009-01-31T10:45:00.000-06:002009-01-31T10:45:00.000-06:00Those prices sound about right, Rich.

Point was a good beer, and Leinies, an even better one, but either was a fantastic deal on a very decent beer that we availed ourselves of frequently. I still smile when I see yuppies paying as much for a 6 pack as we used to pay for a case. <BR/>RichAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19838051.post-56151510351843497492009-01-31T10:25:00.000-06:002009-01-31T10:25:00.000-06:00My boss got an endorsement deal just for drinking ...My boss got an <A HREF="http://www.twincities.com/ci_11553565?IADID=Search-www.twincities.com-www.twincities.com" REL="nofollow">endorsement deal</A> just for drinking Schlitz.Brad Carlsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10443466836095058736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19838051.post-74911445613670013452009-01-30T23:35:00.000-06:002009-01-30T23:35:00.000-06:00to let you know: tere are 2 different PBR's. the o...to let you know: tere are 2 different PBR's. the one made at the original brewery,original recipe, and sold only in bottles is totally different than any other PBR you'll find.<BR/>and world's better,too.Ginohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09606046924332159076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19838051.post-40392711826098539292009-01-30T23:25:00.000-06:002009-01-30T23:25:00.000-06:00the schafer on the west coast was smooth and easy ...the schafer on the west coast was smooth and easy to drink. very weak flavor, and $2 a 12pk.<BR/><BR/>my favorite is actually Abott Ale, imported from UK. hard to find unless you get it at a pub, which is the only reason i used to visit every week.<BR/><BR/>nowadays: i avoid pubs, and beverages, for reason you already are well aware of.Ginohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09606046924332159076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19838051.post-47640669761754396962009-01-30T22:41:00.000-06:002009-01-30T22:41:00.000-06:00I remember Leinies (when they had only one variety...I remember Leinies (when they had only one variety, with Bock in the fall) and Fox Deluxe.<BR/><BR/>Schafer Bubbles were pretty good, as you could get wasted for less than five bucks. <BR/><BR/>But I could never palate Old Milwaukee... not even for free.<BR/><BR/>Nowadays, The new Cold Spring Brewery has some pretty good offerings nowadays.Leo Pusaterihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14616643749168219759noreply@blogger.com
