Quote HistoryQuoted: Pabst Blue Ribbon? That's actually made a comeback amongst the hipsters. Confirming lack of taste among their less redeeming qualities.

Now I want to drink some shit beer.
I haven't seen Carling Black Label in years, but it was something like $7.99/24 when I was in college. For whatever reason, briefly, Old Style was $45 a keg, when Natural Light was something like $70. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: My Dad's beer of choice was Falls City or Sterling. Guess where I was raised? Louisville, KY or Evansville, IN would be my guess. Falls City didn't have a reputation as a spectacular beer, and went out in the late 1970s, I think. Many years later, I think I heard they were brought back as a hipster beer or something like that. |

I worked in a liquor store in the early 90's. They sold a shit ton of Old Style, Miller Lite, Bud Light, and Busch Light, along with some Stroh's and Michelob.
By far my favorite to watch was "Red, White & Blue Beer" which was either $4.99 or $5.99 per case (24). Don't remember how much the deposit was on the bottles. Only a select few very down on their luck (presumably alcoholics) would touch that stuff . Not even the poors or broke college kids would go near that stuff.I stocked the cooler with a lot of Purple Passion (2 liter plastic bottles IIRC), and Bartles and James wine coolers in those days too. My parents must have been crazy to let a 16 y.o. work in a liquor store til midnight Saturday nights, but in reality my buddies would be out drinking and causing trouble and I'd be at work so I had gas for my car. |

That and "The Silver Bullet" were the basis of a disgusting lawsuit that attempted to ban beer producers from advertising "Teen targeted" or "cool sounding nicknames and mascots" (silver bullet, the beast, Spuds, Alex, etc). So now we're stuck with frogs and having to pronounce the can colors. IIRC, the beer companies agreed to withdraw their advertising programs and settle out of court. Because of that, we have frogs. |

 Honorable mention to Mickey's Big Mouths in the older extra wide open necks that they made them quit making. Guess malt liquor coming out of an wide neck was too dangerous for most Americans.  Used to by those from the Class 6 store on base. God they would wreck you. |

Many years later, I think I heard they were brought back as a hipster beer or something like that. Before G. Heilman bought out the old Sterling brewery in Evansville, I had their annual report photography account. I pretty much had the run of the brewery when Henry Muehlenbein was the master-brewer. He was a great human being. Numerous times I hit him up on Friday afternoon to turn me onto a free keg of beer. He always obliged. "Just bring me back the empty."

At Fort Hood TX. in the mid 80's the cheapest beer at the AAFES shopette was Pearl, Texas Pride and Mickey's big mouth's.
It was all pretty damn nasty but we drank gallons of it when we couldn't afford better stuff. |
