So Schlitz beer has been re - introduced (did it ever actually go away?)...

It's in bottles and runs about $6.50 for a six pack here in Chicawgo. I
succumbed, I bought several for our 4th of July cook - out.

When I was a kid it was a cheap beer for old guys. Now it's being touted
for it's "retro - chic" aspect...big displays in some of the likker stores,
advertising, etc.

Whoulda thunk it...maybe next they'll be reviving Studebaker or some other
long - lost brand names.

Anybody remember Carling Black Label?

Anybody from the south remember Canadian Ace? �
How about Falls City?

What about 900. �From their advertising campaign in
the 70's, "When you want to do a whole lot of drinkin'
without drinkin' a lot"

Country Club malt liquor. �Came in all sizes including the mini 8 ouncers.

Yes. The original Olympia was brewed in the Seattle
area, and was kind of like Coors. The operation was
bought out by Pabst years ago, and they turned into their
college student rotgut party crap that sold for $1.25 a
six. It's horrible.

Coors Blue Moon white beer is 5.4abv at the liquor store. At
Safeway, it's 3.2. Same price! The logic behind this sort of thing
completely eludes me.

That don't make a lick o' sense! Nosiree!

I was born in Colorado and still have relatives there. I think it's an old
blue law that limits the strength of alcoholic beverages available in
supermarkets. I know when my cousin turned 18, he could legally buy 3.2
beer, but had to wait until 21 to buy any other kind of beer, wine, or
liquor.

Country Club malt liquor. Came in all sizes including the mini 8 ouncers.

I know there were more, but I can't remember.

When I was 16 I had to wait at the drive thru for someone willing to buy my
beer for me.

The surcharge was usually 1/3 or 2 of 6, 4 of 12.

I quit drinking when I turned 56.

I think a man would get locked up for buying beer for a minor now.

Glad I grew up when I did.

Colt 45 was a biggie on the south side of Chicago. I don't think I've
ever had one.

900 had 3 big X's across the label. I drank *one* 16 oz can and passed
out when I was 16.

two of my college buddies went to high school together. one was
already going bald and the other's hair was turning gray. they could
sit in a bar and drink whisky at seventeen, no problem.

The only Belgium beer I can stand is Hoegaarden (sp?). And even then
it's got a bit of a sour aftertaste. But it goes good with certain foods.

I just find all the other Belgiums too sour. I homebrew and that taste
just reminds me of a couple batches I did that got contaminated.

You need to stick to Pabst, then. You obviously have no taste in
beer if you think Belgian ales are sour. You're completely off your
rocker and know nothing abotu beer.
