"Nine Beers Americans No Longer Drink"

I swear I could get a twelve pack of Old Chicago-if I had the returnables-for like two bucks at the Mifflin Street Coop in the student slum section of Madison Wis in the early 70s . Maybe two-fify. Goodness , maybe it was a case

I used to buy 6-packs of Busch Bavarian for 99¢ at Eckerd's in 1974. You could also get Schaefer for 99¢, the 6-pack was shrink-wrapped.

I remember the Schlitz trucks coming to and from the plant in Winston off US 52 in the early 80s. Occasionally one would have the full trailer-side bull logo with the red lights for the eyes. As a child of the 70s/early 80s who was very much into trucks (thanks to Smokey and the Bandit, Movin' On, BJ and the Bear, etc...), those were pretty sweet.

You can still get a Miller High Life pony (kept on ice, not in a cooler) for $2 at The Original Pinkie Masters in Savannah.

Among mainstream American beers, Miller High Life is my choice.

IIRC, in about ‘78-‘80, a case of something like Pearl Light was $1.99 in Big Bertha.

Weekends were made for Michelob.

That was me in my early 20s. Then, I grew up.

Same.

I can get a 6er of MHL ponies from my local grocery for $3. Its the best bargain in the store.

For $3, I can get two weeks of cannabis from my local dispensary.

Nothing like an Icehouse headache. I used to love Newcastle, but I ran into some skunky bottles one too many times.

Ugh. The Icehouse hangover is legendary

From big fraternity court I would roll over to the Happy Store to find the cheapest six pack on sale, usually for $1.99. Winners were usually Schaefer Light or Black Label Light. No one would steal my beer.

National Bohemian from Top of the Hill (when it was a convenience store).

I remember drinking cheap beer with a nice young fella from "the great Southwest" part of Wisconsin He said for very good sip of PBR you eventually get at least one fart

I think you may have misunderstood my post. It wasn’t an endorsement. That line was from their jingle in the late 70s or early 80s.

Natty Boh with crab cakes at Faidley’s is the kind of simple pleasure I want to retire to.

I drank a lot of $3.99 12 packs of Schaefer Light from Ken's in the early 90s. And as someone said earlier, nobody asked for a beer so I got the whole 12 pack to myself.

I remember the commercial and the beer, just much less fondly than I did so many years ago.
