FGM: torpedo? Really? I think that's a great brew!
Mine: anything Yeungling. Distribution just hit New England, and this junky beer is taking over taps everywhere.
The fact that it's been hard to get does not improve the taste. Case in point: Coors Banquet Beer. |

My beer is Rheingold the dry beer
Think of it whenever you buy beer
Its refreshing not sweet
Its the extra dry treat
Won't you try extra dry Rheingold beer.

I remember when Coors was so hard to get (...at least in Hawaii..) and you could still hand-carry a case of beer onto a plane, anytime someone went to the Mainland and brought some back it was considered the nectar of the gods...my how tastes changed! |

I remember many summer trips back from wyoming to texas with our feet resting on cases of coors on the floor of the family truckster... |

Yeah the old primo was pretty bad. The new primo really isn't any better. |

Orange Stripe. Back in college. Right when "store generics" were getting popular. White can. Orange stripe on it. Roommate bought a case. No two cans tasted the same. The one consistent was that you had a splitting headache shortly after consuming one. I went back to the Hamm's we got for 65 cents a quart at the local C-store.  |

Ron When I used to work for Sony, I had the Navy Exchange as one of my accounts so who knows, mighta seen you! IIRC, I had the account from '83 to '84, were you still here? |

Was that like the crap beer they sold at the Stoplight in Gitmo. I heard stories of it having been spiked with formaldehyde and/or long periods of storage in super hot warehouses or something. It's been a long time, but as I recall I never had much of a problem drinking more than my share.
Anyone remember the cattle trailers that used to swing by the EM club around 11:30 PM? |

I am just aghast that someone would even intimate that Chimay wasn't a tasty beverage. Chimay Blue with a Bolivar Coffradia EMS is pure bliss....the dude must drink bud light in a can on special occasions.
I will add my two cents on anything brewed by Sierra Nevada is without a doubt....
Vile Swill! |

Worst beer? One that stands out as being awful was blue moon white ipa. Knew a beer truck guy so we always got the leftover expired junk. I got like 10 cases of 24. They were really bad. Drank them all
I can drunk about anything but I usually just buy plain beer. Not too into all the hoppy stuff. |
