And good riddance to all of them, I think.

Clearly the author never went to college, as he doesn't reference The BEast or BEast Light in place of Milwaukee's Best.

I'm a bit surprised at the awards Pabst has won lately. Amazing.

I think loners probably drink a lot of beers ....

Yeah, nice typo. Anyone have a "g" I can borrow?

What I'd be curious to find out is how many annual barrels those "macro" breweries have actually lost when you factor in the number of new pseudo "micro" brews they've introduced over the same time in the form of either acquisiton of an existing micro or creation of a micro with a different sounding brewery name even though its still brewed by the macro??

The bottomline is that there's LOTS of beer choices out there, and that's a GREAT thing IMHO! :beer:

Go fish! How about a s for the n!

Come to think of it, most of those beers are so bad, eventhe loneliest loner still won't drink them.

Didn't you go to college?

I enjoy PBR whilst in VT. Mr. Pabst founded Bromley. There's a plaque in the main base lodge.

Sure- Busch Light Draft. $10 a case. Not on that list!

Yes he did! He was a pioneer and probably the first guy to connect skiing to beer!

Busch bar bottles were the drink of choice in college. I think that's just what the local packy had the best deal on.

Molson Golden - $10.99 a case was my college apartment's goto beer :beer: We just couldn't bring ourselves to go for the $9.99 a case Natty light uke: So we made the conscious decision to forgo a few extra boxes of Ramen noodles each week to maintain our "high" standards! :lol:

I've actually switched BACK to shitty cheap light beer in the last few years. Sure I'll drink a micro or two when out at a bar occasionly but honest to god more than two and I'm bloated. Plus I'm all set with nine dollar six packs, I drink way too much to pay that kind of money!

Molson Export (6%, I think) was the total go-to when it was on special. For a while we re able to get Polar Beer, which had a bottle opener molded into the bottom of the bottle, so you used your empty to open a freshy. Brillant, that.

That is a brilliant idea. Although if you just had 1, and didn't have a bottle opener, the mental torture that could be inflicted..... :lol:

We gotta get the D-BAG added to that list! :beer:

 

[frapcap]

I can honestly say that I drink none of those listed regularly...

...anymore. College wasn't all to long ago, but I couldn't tell you the last time I bought more than 1 of those at a time. More often that not I buy the Costco Kirkland Signature brand 24pack of craft beer. If they don't have it, Magic Hat or Harpoon varieties are the alternative.

So true!
