I recently read something about a major beer brand taking a hit from its consumers, apparently over consumers disagreeing with something the management had said or done.?ÿ And I will be the first to admit I haven't followed the story and know very little about it.?ÿ But I do like beer...and always have.
I was reminded of the days back in '68 when I was a free-wheeling young human enjoying my friends and the esprit de jour.?ÿ?ÿ
A favorite drink of myself and friends was a beer produced by the Spoetzl Brewing Co. in Shiner, Texas and aptly named for that town.?ÿ We loved it.?ÿ The fact that the beer was produced by some money hungry capitalist...
...that no doubt hated hippies and all we stood for weighed little on our minds.?ÿ Whatever his level of moral or social turpitude was secondary to the quality of the beer.?ÿ Hell, we probably would have like it if Joseph Stalin owned the place.
My, my...don't things change over the years.?ÿ ;)?ÿ ?ÿ
?ÿ?ÿ
I still like beer.
And I aint old yet, either!
That "trip" backwards brought back the ol' 3.2 beer memories. Took forever to get a buzz, and after you did you'd have to pee every 10 minutes all night long. Now that I'm too old to "party till ya drop" they have all kinds of suds that would do it with one can.
Oh, the good ol' days (daze). Schlitz, PBR or Hamms. Whichever happened to be cheapest. 3.2, of course. Had to be 21 and visit a liquor store to purchase anything more powerful. Standard price was $1.50 for a six-pack or $5 for a case. One must remember that I had a good-paying job at $1.10 per hour, so even a six-pack represented a significant amount of labor to acquire.
Meet the Hamm's bear.
Fred and Barney love Busch Beer.
Did the guy at 5 seconds already have a few?
LOL
72 years ago. Who woulda thunk it possible?
June 25, 1951 - Pabst aired the 1st color beer commercial on the very first commercial color TV program. CBS aired a an hour-long program entitled “Premiere” starring Arthur Godfrey, Ed Sullivan, Robert Alda & Faye Emerson.
A favorite of mine that comes with a history

Well, we did have Survey Party signs back then. Swinging Plumb bob, reading a level rod with a theodolite. Not sure what the guy next to the I man is doing. Wish I had a dime for every time I heard Miller time. No sooner left that behind when Norm from Cheers showed up.
Red necks, white socks, and Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer. Breakfast of Champions!
Had never heard of Anchor Beer. Must be because I am so remote from any large bodies of water.
