      Before I moved from California to Washington state 50 years ago my beer of choice was Oly or Coors, back then you couldn’t buy Coors in Washington. My friends were all drinking Blitz Weinhart so I tried it for a while. The first Oly (canned) I bought here was terrible , I swear it tasted nothing like it did in California. I went to the brewery and sampled it there and it was great, they even had a dark Oly I really liked but I don’t think they marketed it. I don’t know what was wrong with the one I bought in the store here but I quit buying it . Today it’s PBR or Coooorrz.

    Past Blue Ribbon has been my everyday choice for decades. It is clean and fresh tasting, with no odor or aftertaste. It is the beer that I reach for to accompany every meal (except breakfast!😁)
    I buy thirty (30) cans at a time at Wal-mart for less per ounce than I can buy cola!
    When I want a beer that "eats like a meal," I reach for Samuel Adams Boston Lager. Held up to sunlight in a Pilsner glass, it shows its gorgeous rufous color. It also is clean tasting, but filled with about half a-dozen flavors, and as maker Jim Koch says, "a head so thick, you can float a bottle cap on it!"
    A bottle of "Sammy" is always a treat for the senses of every beer lover!

    My best beer? Hands down. When I was about 14 years old, some of my friends and I went up on the roof of a random 5 floor apartment building one summer night. We found a red cooler on the roof with about 6 cans of Bud, in with the coldest possible water. A few few ice cubes were still keeping them frosty. It was a warm night, we were running around the nearby town like usual. Those beers were delicious! Cracklin cold! To this day, I'm 52, those cold beers were the best! It was like the scene in the Shawshank Redemption when they got the beers after tarring the roof! Incredible! 😃🙃🤤😎🤠🤯👆 Miss those days, lol!

    would have made it even better? Including
    some control tests and multiple tries of the

    sure your results were more reliable and
    less influenced by random variation. Just a
    thought! Keep up the great work!

    I can remember my dad drinking Schlitts, then Coors and even Michelob. He finally settled on Bud, then Bud light as he got into his 50s. I’m now going to be the same age as my dad when he went to be with our Lord and every year on his birthday I stop and grab a pepperoni pizza and a Bud. Personally, I enjoy craft beer, a good Belgian ale but my favorite beer at the moment since I live in Tokyo is Coedo White and Hitachino Nest, both Japanese craft beers. Seems a long way off but I can still remember my dad cracking open a Coors on a hot day after mowing the lawn in the 70s in Southern California and sharing a drink or two with me. Thanks for the memories.

    Just an interesting side note, Coors makes its big money with high-end ceramics for electronics, mostly as a defense contractor. The beer side of things acts mostly as a PR wing, though it's definitely a strong concern in its own right. In the early '90's I worked for a laser scribing firm, and a single Coors ceramic plate, about 4"x4", was about $100, and once it was scribed, punched, and snapped, was worth as much as $50K. Coors had the market cornered, and was the only manufacturer of the specific type of required, military-grade porcelain for certain defense contract circuit boards. The little firm I worked for (seven people) probably went through 200-300 plates per day, five days per week. (It took a lot of time to build up the power in the capacitor banks, and the system could only cut a half dozen or so pieces per cycle.) That's over $100,000/week that Coors got from us alone. (And we made about the same, I believe, after energy, equipment, payroll, and basic overhead. The two owners were raking it in.)
    (The most fun was the excimer laser, which could punch through a half inch of plate steel in under half a second. You'd do a x-ray resistant ceramic stencil first, and put that in the way of the excimer aperture and -- Flash! -- an 8"x8" area of steel plate would be cut into whatever shapes, to tolerances that could only be checked by electron microscope.)

One weekend we had to work painting the place and installing shelves to get the store ready. It was a very long day. At the end of the night, maybe around 10pm, my mom's boyfriend got pizza and beer, Miller High Life. We just devoured that pizza and washed it down with the Miller. I had a second bottle afterward. I drank beer before, even as young as 6 or 7 my dad or my uncles would give me a sip to taste and I always hated it. But that night, after a hard day's work, it just hit the spot.

    I didn't see this in comments at least near top of them. One of the biggest differences between Schlitz and other American beers is the grain that is used. They brewed with rice because near Milwaukee there were large areas with wild rice and it was cheap and easy to get. They meant to change back to the usuals but people liked it so much they kept it. Just one fun side note the beer factory that Lavern and Shirly worked at was called Shots Beer which was an homage to Schlitz.

      I grew up up in a Budweiser house when I was a kid. Next door neighbor drove a short order truck for Budweiser that wasn't locked up at night until some teenagers got in there and had a party! He knew right away something was wrong when he smelled the residue of cigs and weed in his truck. He locked it up after that!

      Rolling Rock is absolutely the best bang for your buck. It's not jaw dropping flavorful like some craft brews are, but it tastes just right, especially when you're thirsty and don't want a "sippin" beer anyway.

    Schlitz was my favorite beer in the early 70s. They tried to speed up the brewing process and thus gain an economic edge over its competitors, and it backfired on them. One of the great all time blunders in the beer industry.

    When my dad was a young man drinking with friends, Pabst was his beer of choice. It was apparently the fuel for many a "colorful tales" of his youth. It holds a special place for me and it's one I always drink in his honor and memory. It is also a favorite of the "cheap beers". I would probably get Schlitz a lot as well except I have a hard time finding in my area.

Yeah, there are quite a number of classic beers viewers have pointed out that are more regionalized, or at least not available to us in Georgia it seems or that we don't see often anyway. If one of us travels up north we'll have to load up on some of the recommendations and do a 2nd tasting. Cheers🍻
