Busch Beer!

[SkiDork]

shwag beers I've drank plenty of:

Blatz
Schmidts
Rheingold
Schaeffer
Pathmark no frills (yes, Pathmark supermarkets had their own beer)
Rolling Rock

 

[2knees]

Golden Anniversary
Peils Draft Style
Keystone and Keystone Light
Schmidts
Black Label
Schaeffer.

those were probably the staples in college, with Golden Anniversary leading the way. The vermont stores stocked that shit to the rafters......

In college, cheap bottled beer was Genny Cream and Rolling Rock. Cheap keg beer was invariably PBR.

I only buy cheap beer now to steam baby back ribs. I do buy Bud bottles once in a while but canned beer never enters my shopping cart unless it's for use on a boat.

 

[campgottagopee]

PBR here

 

[Vortex]

Bud bar bottles was the lowest we would go in college. 12 cases gave us a free case in returns. I am am beer snob. I drink a pale ale most days. Saranac, Sierra Nevada are the 1st choices. I do show the ablity to be open minded. I also drink Newcastle brown ale. I bought a case of Harpoon IPA to try another flavor last week.

College swill was Busch kegs. Usually 7 deliverd by the local packy on either Fri or Sat night for the weekend after hrs party our frat threw. 5 bucks at the door for dude's, good looking chicks free, ugly chicks 5 bucks if you were let in at all. How un-PC, huh?

Loved the old Busch poster with the guy surfing...classic.

Did throw back a couple PBR 16ozers this weekend at a bar though, not bad.

Our college rotgut in the 60's was Stegmaier, Gibbons or Bartels -- you could get the added benefit of cleaning rusty car parts with this swill

Almost forgot this crap LOVED teh damn name:--------; Horlacher -------------------:beer:

:lol: Called them "Genny Screamers" since that was the sound they made the next day when everything you ate mixed up with them was exiting you as you sat on the thrown :lol:

+1 - The only exception for me to that rule is I do keep some cans of Miller Lite on hand uke: since one of my very good friends who shows up quite often for a few beers and some BS'ing absolutely loves Miller Lite and swears that it's better in a can than in a bottle uke: Yes, he has issues :blink:

 

[ComeBackMudPuddles]

surprisingly, nobody has mentioned "THE BEAST" yet....it was THE drink of choice, mostly 'cause kegs of it were the cheapest available (sometimes, beast ice went on sale, which always was good for a laugh).

from checking out images on the internets, it seems like milwaukees' best is now owned by miller, which saddens me for some strange reason.

whoever decorated their living room with 50,000 cans of busch is someone i need to meet.....

That's what I drank in college!!! I think it was $29.00 for a 1/2 barrel and $2.99 a twelve pack. It wasn't half bad as long as it was ice cold. :beer:

 

[Marc]

Yup... has anyone noticed how cold reduces one's sensitivity to taste? I wonder why they never mention that in the Coors commercials.

"We make our color change cans so you can make sure you will taste as little of the foul liquid we put in there as is humanly practical."

Somehow I think they'd drop the ad agency that came up with such a campaign. But that's essentially what they're saying.

I love seeing the reaction of the uninitiated when I tell them I prefer to drink ales, as they should be served, at around 55 - 60 degrees.

At the New Riders show at The Tupelo, we brought our own beer as is required. My neighbor had a stash of PBRs so that's what we brought (and kept cold). I offered one to the woman next to me.

her: "What are those?"
me: "PBR"
her: "What kind of beer is that??"
me: "American"

she declined

Used to be a big fan of Rolling Rock until it was acquired by Anheuser-Busch and they stopped brewing in Latrobe, PA

"Rolling Rock - From the glass lined tanks of Old Latrobe, we tender this premium beer for your enjoyment as a tribute to your good taste. It comes from the mountain springs to you."

It's just not the same now that they brew it in Newark, NJ

How could anyone in Londonderry, NH not know what PBR was?

I have entirely different standards for "free beer" when there are no alternatives.

 

[severine]

I would rather be sober......

Ditto.

I've been on a budget for the last 2 months and have chosen to go mostly without beer rather than drink swill.

On the other hand, I did make the mistake of buying Shocktop the other day, but it wasn't horrible. Certainly better than, say, Rolling Rock.

Busch brings back memories, when I was in high school my group of friends used to hang out in my friend's basement drink Busch beer, listen to tunes and shoot the shit, it was great fun at the time. The Busch was always good 'cause we were underage and it was a lot better than most of the other cheap beers. I haven't had it since then though.

Yeah my dad used to drink busch and PBR so the taste reminds me of warm summer nights drinking warmer beers stolen from the garage.

Miller lite replaced Budweiser as my cheap beer of choice...$11 for a case of 8 ounce cans..and $1.25 for a pint during happy hour at the local bar..
