Isn’t heavy beer made from heavy water? Coors light is just the remnants coming out the other end after good beer is consumed.

"Shoulda used Genessee from Rochester NY for the test."
LOL! My Dad used to drink Jenny.

It was the ‘National Beer” for the Adirondacks ;)
An acquired taste to be sure, but better than Old Swill for not a lot more cash...at least it was. Dunno anymore. I’m now 2000 miles from ‘Graceland’ ;)

I haven’t lived in Rochester since around 1973. I live in Central NY State, about 45 minutes east of Syracuse. Don’t know anybody who still drinks it. Every year my Dad looked forward to the Genesee Bock Beer they brewed. I believe they only brewed it once a year, and only during a certain time.

pearl reminds me of an old song: "Drank Pearl from a can and Jack Daniels black,chewed tobacco from a mail pouch sack and had an old dog that was trained to attack, sometimes."David Allan Coe's "If That Ain't Country"
I've seen the Grand Ol' Opry, and I've met Johnny Cash. If that ain't country, I'll kiss your ass.

I remember Genny Bock. We had a couple stores in the Tri-Lakes that would carry it. Everyone tried it once ;)
That stuff could eat paint.
Back in the 79s/80s it was by far the most popular up there. I wonder what happened. Probably the PR push for the ‘exotics’. Hell, a guy drank Genny to get drunk, period, not because he liked it! We were REAL MEN! Not these home brew/Sam Adams pussified girly boys! ;)

Never could drink that. Way too smooth/no bite at all.
But lots of people loved it...at least they used to. Cool can though!
To: Pilsner
Should have used Old Frothingslosh then they could advertise “the pale stale ale with the mushroom cloud on the bottom.”

Wait a minute! The beer that was tested was in the old style solid topped steel cans and bottles with the cork lined caps. We need do some atmospheric nuke testing to test out our modern pop-top aluminum cans and plastic lined twist-caps. To hell with the treaties, this is important.

This is a logical test. Beer was used for thousands of years for our basic drink because it was safer to drink then water
