It needed someone named Skilnik to do this story justice.

Kansas City used to be a hugh beer brewing town. Now there are only a few small local breweries, all but one are in brewpubs.

Late in the night, I just dump my beer straight into the toilet. Saves time that way.

The original Knickerbocker beer ( before they changed the formula around 1971 and called it Knickerbocker natural ) was great lager beer . So was Rheingold with the " 10 minute head " . My Dad was a salesman, so there were plenty of samples around the house . Hehe ...And although I wasn't of drinking age in CT in 1970 ( 21 ) I could drink in NY (18 ) , my age at the time . I loved Knick !

Without a doubt the most memorable beer from my youth was Griesedieck beer, longtime sponsor of St. Louis Cardinals ball games on radio during the 40s and 50s.

Anyone who ever heard Harry Carey pronounce Greasy dick, which, by the way was the correct pronunciation, would never forget it.

If you were young, broke and needed beer in Los Angeles, Brew 102 was the way to go. Boy was it bad.

For some reason I thought Mickey's Big Mouth's would get you blasted sooner and deeper. Maybe it just poured faster.

Anybody ever "shoot a beer"? Take a "church key", lay the can on it's side, cut a hole on the top side near the bottom, cover the bottom hole with your mouth, upright the can, pull the pop top and whoosh, all the beer all at once.

Do they still have Rheingold in NY? Schafer?

I have drank gallons of Mickey's Big Mouths. And lots more Rainer Ale. And I'm no grandpa.
