You can take the boys out of Detroit but you can't take the Detroit out of the boys, neither can you erase a fondness for Stroh's, just recently brewed again in the Motor City. 15 minutes ago, DizRotus said: Got some of these for my brother-in-law in from Charlotte, NC and to take to my brother this weekend.

When i was a Youngin, dad used to ship me to St Joe Mich, along with luggage i was tasked with carrying a FULL sized Golf bag, FULL of Coors. Coming back from Mich, i was tasked with carrying the same Golf Bag filled with Stroh's Little did i know at the time i was a "Drug Mule" at age 10. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember when they had the 2 round tabs on the top to push in to open it? One to drink out of and one for the vent. They quit using that style as people kept cutting they're fingers opening the cans. There was no tab, you pushed the "openers" straight in to the can. Back in the late 70's Coors was like gold where we lived. Hard to find and REALLY expensive. They advertised refrigerated trucks for transport which certainly wasn't the norm at the time. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete H Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I consider Stroh's my hometown brew, since we had an operation just outside of Allentown. Now I can't stand it, but then again, I was 18 and we drank rolling rock, old Milwaukee, Iron City, Pabst, and even Genny Cream Ale. I don't know what all of you are doing for the holiday weekend, but I just got through rubbing my butt, both cheeks, and let me tell you that it not only felt good, but it smelled good too, I'm talking good enough to eat. I would invite all of you to not only see my but, but imagine smelling it. ROTFLMAO for sure. Hope you all have a great weekend and you don't end up with your butts in the air. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators dtel Posted September 1, 2016 Moderators Share Posted September 1, 2016 So Mr Tarheel, is the LF at her new house or hunkering down with you? Just trying to figure out how hard this hunkering down will be for you. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarheel Posted September 1, 2016 Author Share Posted September 1, 2016 Quote As is often the case....the day before and after is beautiful. We just had a quick dinner and a bike ride. I may go over to her place for the storm to see how the creek next to her house does about flooding. But there is also the Jakester to contend with and I can only leave him inside for so long 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtimer Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Youngster. Real pull tabs came off the can and you cut your feet on them at the beach from aholes who tossed them on the ground. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
