Moderators dtel Posted July 18, 2010 Moderators Share Posted July 18, 2010 That's bad when the can is just labled "beer", then is goes downhill when you open it and it's Falstaff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted July 18, 2010 Moderators Share Posted July 18, 2010 You had a can opener in the glovebox for opening oil cans for the engine, and beer cans for your engine. Not having a church key would bring your car and you plans to a stop... Also, few remember that crushing a beer can in one hand used to mean something. Those Jax cans were ALL steel. If you observed Bubba looking at you and collapsing one with his left hand, it was time to head south at high speed. Dave That's funny Was glad to see the pop top changed out for the newer style tops, those suckers were dangerous is you stepped on one.

Boxx Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Remember Falstaff from New Orleans, now that was really nasty it taste like they made from Mississippi river water.I remember Falstaff all too well . My father used to get cheap generic " white can labeled BEER " from the Coast Guard Base . It had made by Falstaff written on the bottom . Even as a kid I knew that stuff was nasty , and you know kids will drink anything .Back in the 70's, when I lived in Austin, you could buy that cheap generic beer with just "beer" written on it. The white can "beer" six packs were generally right next to the other great selection, "Billy Beer." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallette Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Ever sat in a jungle clearing, mixed pallet of warm Schlitz and PBR, NO can opener, just a bayonet? Worked well, unless it went through the top, out the side of the can, and into your leg. No purple heart for that! Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dflip Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 A few good, hoppy beers for those of you south of the border: Dogfish 60 IPA, Brooklyn Lager, Southern Tier IPA. A few months ago I got an opportunity to try Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout, very nice flavour and body. None of these beers would appeal to those of you who like a mainstream U.S. beer. Many of the microbreweries make superior beer, but then it depends on your taste buds. Some people think Bud is a good beer? I've never had the opportunity, but I've heard great reviews about this high hop IPA, Stone Ruination IPA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigCliff Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 As for me a MGD ice cold will do just fine but if I want to treat myself then I will go for some St. Paulie girls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's funny, it reminds me of a friend of mine. Many years ago my friend thought Coors was something special probably because it was not yet available in Louisiana, so for his birthday I found him a case. He thought it was great, until the next day and the day after then he changed his mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fini Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 I know some girls who refuse to drink beer at the beach. They don't want to get sand in their Schlitz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay481985 Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 As for me a MGD ice cold will do just fine but if I want to treat myself then I will go for some St. Paulie girls. I remember when I worked part time at a liquor store during college, there was a guy we dubbed St. Paulie Guy. Everyday he come in buying one 12 pack and one 24 ouncer of that stuff. And this was at 10 am so he was drinking on the job, at our university golf course. I can picture it now, one guy hits a ball into a sand trap full of empty st. paulie girl bottles. As for current beer in general I am overall impressed with abitha amber. I was introduced to it when I was at the dtel's, (well when I was in new orleans) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigCliff Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 WHOA, a 12 pack and 24 onces everyday, at my age it takes me a day and a half to recover from doing a 12 pack, and those GIRLS are a little bit stonger then domestic beer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rplace Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 I like to make/drink my own. Currently have 8 on tap with 10 gallons of lager and 10 gallons of an IPA in my fermenters. Any light pilsner makes a fine summer drink. For all of you Blue Moon fans do yourself a favor and look for some Hoegaarden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigCliff Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 NICE setup, I just got thirsty looking at that picture of Hoegaarden. 1 and a half hours to COLD BEER TIME! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Does anybody remember the cans (Coors? Strohs?) with the circular, push in tabs? There was nothing to pull, just two round areas that you would push to open the can. One to drink out of and one smaller one for the vent. I don't think they lasted very long as most people cut their thumbs when they opened the cans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigCliff Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Yes I do remember that I drank both brand but Strohs more so, not sure whose cans had it, But like you said they did not last but a few months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmsummer Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Golly I miss San Antonio Pearl as a daily drinker. It was a damn fine beer. A small amount dribbles out of the Miller brewery in Foat Wuth now... cans only. An honest lager that consistantly won blind tests. I heard Schlitz had returned to their old ways, but I haven't had any. I need to grab a sixer, if I can find some. Here at Casita Verano, we tend toward the Spaten, Rahr & Sons, Shiner Blonde*, Summit, Weihenstephaner and Hacker-Pschorr beers. MaiBocks and Marzens preferred. BIG GREAT NEWS! Shiner is bringing back their Shiner 96 brew, which is as good an Oktoberfest/Marzen Bier as I have ever tasted. * Do not like Shiner Bock. I'll drink a free one and not compain, but it's a poor excuse for a bock-style beer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
