"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.
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?
Â* Â* 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.Â*Â* Â* Or, I
should say, they go through me.

My dad liked Budweiser. The only thing I liked about Bud was the horses.

One of the places we had in Florida had a "Rec House" in which we had
a fully stocked canopy bar with a "kegolater" and built in beer tap.
It held a standard, half keg.

The beer of choice then was "AmberBoch", made by Anheuser-Busch. Much
better than Budweiser but not as well known.

Every afternoon around 2:30-3pm many of our neighbors started showing up
in their golf carts to have a few. I even bought a commercial beer mug
cooler that could quick freeze about 60 mugs at a time.

Fun times, but it's all in the past now.

I've not had a beer since 1987. Y'all can stop talking about them any time now!!

:)

I used to drink beer often. Probably too often. But as I've aged I
just can't handle it anymore. Hate feeling bloated, even after only
two. I still occasionally have one but it's very infrequent.

Still like it but it just doesn't like me anymore.
