Default Dammit......

I earned enough in the summer to just about cover
the next year's tuition, books and room and board, thanks to the
American union movement!

Hail to the unions! I'm glad that they were able to keep tuition costs down
for you! :-

Don't know about that, and I didn't think that Canadian Ace was that
bad either. For years and years I drank Old Style at bars all over
Chicago. That was the common Chicago tap beer, and I enjoyed it.
I always ordered the bottle.
Then I was living in Queens a while and was drinking Schaefer and
Miller. When I went back to Chicago I stuck with Miller.
One day a brain short-circuit caused me to order a bottle of Old Style
like an old habit. It stunk, and I wondered how I drank it for all
those years.
Anyway, I'm a snob now, and drink mostly Zywiec and Hacker-Pschorr
Weisse. But I do some slumming too.

Schaefer...the one beer to have when you want to belch up beer breath.

I drank Piels for a while when I drank beer because I liked Bert and Harry
Piel, aka Bob Elliot and Ray Goulding. Best commercials ever. Among the
worst beers ever.

One summer while in college my father got me a job on the loading dock at
Hulls' Export Beer in New Haven. I loaded kegs and cases of bottles onto
trucks all day long. Work rules required a cold keg on the dock at all
times to "refresh" the grunts who did the loading. I'm afraid those days
are long, long gone.
