Cheap beer

I went to the liquor store yesterday to get beer. I am getting tired of drinking the same stuff so I was looking for something different. As I was checking out the selection, a brand that I have not seen in a long time caught my eye. Schaefer beer. I remember my father drinking Schaefer in the 70’s. Looking at the beer brought back a lot of memories. So I decided to buy it. As I was pulling out the 12 pack, I noticed the brand next to it was another I haven’t seen in a long time, Pabst Blue Ribbon. I bought that 12 pack as well. Both 12 packs were $13! A case of beer for $13, I couldn’t believe it. On the way home I figured they would both taste like something out of the sewer, but to my surprise they were good. Albeit not as good as say, Heineken or Yuengling, but good none the less. The Schaefer was a little bit better. For the price and taste, Schaefer may be my new beer. At least for a while.

is the one beer to have when you're having more than one.

You always need more than one. :-)

Believe me, when you go away to college and are broke, you learn real fast what beers are still made. For 4 years I thought Old Milwaukee was the best there was.

Back in the 90's the cheapest I saw was Golden Anniversary Light. It was $1.99 a six pack. Not sure if it is still around now.
