Too upscale for my taste. None of us rafter-uppers on our 70' CRay
trawlers drink the expensive stuff when we party on Bare Butt Cove.

hmmm from 54' to 70', eh?

Oh, now switching to Schlitz!

That's probably what Uncle Russ had in mind.
We were going fishing once and he pulled in front of a liquor store
and handed me 10 bucks.
"Get a case of cheap beer and some ice."
I went in and the cheapest I saw was Canadian Ace.
When we got to the boat we started putting the beer and ice in the
cooler.
"What the hell!! Canadian Ace?!?!?" he says.
"You told me to get cheap beer," says I.
He just looked at me and shook his head.

Around here, liquor stores compete to see who can sell crappy beer at
the lowest price. Miller Lite seems to be the "leader." I have a buddy
whose favorite is Miller Lite and he offers me a can from time to time.
I tried it once, and thought it the most awful concoction that ever bore
the name "beer." But it is a big seller.

I never could figure out why anybody would drink "lite" beer.
But as you say, they do. Sometimes it's a problem for me on
a picnic where whoever brings the beer gets nearly all "lite."
I might have one of the few non-lites then switch to soda.
Better anyway, since daytime beer drinking in the sun ends up giving
me a headache if I drink more than one or two.

Well If that's not cheap enough, I suppose one could try some
basskisser-brew

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.

Those were the days. 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!

Michelob did that for me. I had one once and got pulled over for
speeding a couple hours later. The cop asked me how many beers
I had and I told him "One, a couple hours ago." He said, "What!?
You smell like a f**cking brewery, and so does your car."
But he bought the truth, and I beat the speeding ticket too.
I never drank a Michelob again.

I never saw a good beer commercial. Some of those Bud ads around
the Superbowl some years back came close.

Here's a really old Piels beer commercial:

They got more sophisticated (!) as the years passed, but still kept to
the format.

I had two good summer jobs thanks to the Teamsters, and another good one
thanks to the Steamfitters and Boilermakers Unions. I knew a little bit
about welding before that summer, but by the time the summer was over, I
was working right alongside journeymen, refurbishing
steam boilers at the now defunct Bigelow Boiler factory. Now that was a
manly man's job! The place was ancient; it had built steam locomotives
earlier in its history.
