If I had I would not admit to it.
I drank stuff like Schlitz, Schaffer, Pabst, Lowenbrau, Bud, Miller and Coors back when I was a kid, but would prefer water to any of these brews.
Lots of folks here at FR seem to have an affinity for that stuff ~ not my cup of tea ~ but good for them if they like it!
So what kind of brew do you drink now? One big change in American beer tastes over the past 20 years is that foreign beers are much more popular now. We used to have a place called Lum’s in Florida where you could eat steamed hot dogs along with a wide variety of foreign beers offered. This was before many foreign beers were on the market here.
When I was young, Coors held some sort of mystique, simply because you couldn’t get it East of the Mississippi. We’d actually organize forays from Milwaukee to the closest place we could get it. Pool a bunch of money, and go in my van and score cases. We used Coors, and Ripple Red to soothe throats made sore by cheap Mexican weed.
That was almost 40 years ago! Now I buy Moosehead most often. Not too expensive, and fairly good tasting. And,,, I like a little “skunk” when I pop the top. Use it to soothe my throat made sore by yelling at the neighborhood teenagers!
Took one swig of that Zima cr@p once. Spit it out, and poured the rest down the sink.
That ain’t so, Joe! I personally shun the ‘common’ brands in favor of full-flavored (and pretty damned potent) genuine Belgian ales. Mind you, those concoctions will get you talking to people who aren’t rally there much faster than you think in a very short amount of time. But they taste a helluva lot better.
