Sure enough, when he came home that night, he counted 'em - twice - then asked my mom if she'd had a beer that day. She said she hadn't, she didn't even like beer. Then he turned to my brother, who was more, uh, rebellious than I was and asked him if he'd swiped one of his beers. My brother said no, he knew he had 'em counted, and if he really wanted a beer, he had other ways to get one. I was sweating that he was gonna ask me next, but he just looked at me kinda funny, and let it pass. Such is the power of a well-crafted filial reputation, I suppose. . .Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12044041773404411751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-26195806760383512302015-07-03T17:17:40.814-04:002015-07-03T17:17:40.814-04:00What about Blatz or (Carling) Black Label, or Goeb...What about Blatz or (Carling) Black Label, or Goebel (does anyone else remember Brewster, the Goebel Rooster?)

"I don't drink beer often but when I do . . . I drink Dos Equis." Until craft beers became widely brewed in America, most beers from the U.S.A. were simply badly tainted water, including my old favorite Budweiser.Catalysthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03804837416104556928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-58493010372182796172015-07-03T13:09:40.365-04:002015-07-03T13:09:40.365-04:00I don't like American beers--they leave a bad ...I don't like American beers--they leave a bad taste in my mouth, but I loved the beer in Germany!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-85052148463568684692015-07-03T12:25:59.862-04:002015-07-03T12:25:59.862-04:00How cute you were able to get a sip of the beer yo...How cute you were able to get a sip of the beer you brought your mom. I didn't realize you couldn't find it any more at the store. I'm not a beer drinker, but son is; I would enjoy a sip of the ones he brought home; you are right, wide variety of them out there to choose from. I do like a cold beer on a hot day though.<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-26257057012050771302015-07-03T11:07:30.313-04:002015-07-03T11:07:30.313-04:00My Dad did not drink a lot of beer, but when he di...My Dad did not drink a lot of beer, but when he did drink it was Schaeffer. It is sadly no longer available. I had a somewhat similar reason for liking it as you do Miller High Life. It was the first beer I snuck. I stole one from a six-pack sitting on our basement stairs (for some reason, that's where My Dad stored it - perhaps because it was cooler than the rest of the house?) Anyway, I drank it - warm... And, of course, My Dad asked me why there were only five beers in his six-pack. D'Oh! What could have possessed me to think he wouldn't notice it missing? But it is still a taste I would like to once again taste, but probably never will.Suldoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07778845367184916684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-29934963503391858572015-07-03T10:56:00.102-04:002015-07-03T10:56:00.102-04:00The Miller Brewing folks kinda let that one fall b...The Miller Brewing folks kinda let that one fall by the wayside.<br />But then that's what happens when a company from South Africa controls things.<br />(not necessarily your) Uncle Skiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02705753220273516841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-3731009858273749802015-07-03T10:53:44.562-04:002015-07-03T10:53:44.562-04:00Hubby will agree with you on this beer.
