"When I was on the canadian side of Niagara I picked up a 6 pack of
"Blue Light" but just because that was the name of my company. The
beer itself was very forgettable. The guy at US customs even gave me a
puzzled look when I came back through.
Now they sell that "Blue", both kinds at Publix."
Labatt Blue was my go to beer for a while but the stuff brewed
locally under license wasn't consistent.
Now I get Coors Light also brewed locally under license.
Redneck here. PBR all the way.
Is that still sold?Â*Â* I don't remember seeing it but then again I don't
buy much beer anymore.Â* When I do, I usually get Yuengling.Â*Â* Used to
be a Sam Adams guy but it's too heavy for me now.Â* Yuengling is similar
but a bit lighter. Yuengling is also the USA's oldest brewery and brand.
I remember as a kid my grandmother being a big Ballantine Ale fan.Â* Had
a green logo with "XXX" in the middle.Â*Â* Just looked it up.Â* Production
stopped years ago but the name is now owned by Pabst.Â* It was reissued
as an IPA in 2014 and is Pabst's entry into the craft beer market.
What, you didn't drink Hull's Export Beer, a proud product of New Haven?
I worked there one college summer, loading kegs and cases onto
delivery trucks. Brand died some years ago, but I read someone in East
Haven is bringing it back.
My actual favorite beer, when I had one, was a Mexican brew from the
Yucatan peninsula, but the brand was bought out and disappeared. These
days, if I actually have a beer, I still prefer the Mexican beers and
the Japanese brews. I might go through six beers a year.
Or, I
should say, they go through me.
My dad liked Budweiser. The only thing I liked about Bud was the horses.
