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? I don't remember seeing it but then again I don't
buy much beer anymore. When I do, I usually get Yuengling. Used to
be a Sam Adams guy but it's too heavy for me now. 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. Had
a green logo with "XXX" in the middle. Just looked it up. Production
stopped years ago but the name is now owned by Pabst. It was reissued
as an IPA in 2014 and is Pabst's entry into the craft beer market.

PBR in cans is pretty much everywhere, sometimes only in the 16oz can
but I like a bottle. The only place around here who has that is Total
Wine. I always buy all they have whenever I am there because they only
seem to have a few and I don't get up there often.

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.

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 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.

Harry, when you were in college you worked for about 14 summers in every job known to man. Yet
you're still you.

Damn shame, eh?

Why all the instigating and agitating?

Because he is an asshole.

I worked three jobs in the summers...Shick Razor while waiting for my
first semester to begin, Bigelow Boiler, and Hull's Beer. In the final
month of my junior year, I was hired for the summer by the KC Star, and
stayed on in the fall while completing my senior year.
