My beer is Rhinegold, the dry beer,
Think of Rhinegold whenever you buy beer
It's refreshing, not sweet
It's the extra dry treat!
Won't you try extra dry Rhinegold beer?

Other cheap beer from HS and college -- Genny Cream Ale (puke!) and Goebbels (pronounce it like "zho-belle" to be really obnoxious), the beer of French kings (no not really, just a joke back then)

Also in college, if you were under 21, it was 3.2% only so a lot of PBR Extra Light and some other extra light beer on tap for us poor under 21 suckers at the uptown bars.

Any type of ice beer would give me a h/a.  Even if I just had one.  Not sure what it was.

Remember when Icehouse was popular, all these other brands of ice beer (cold filtered, higher alch. content) came out..... I had friends that bought it because they would get a quicker buzz........it was a total bummer for me the next day.

More moons ago than I care to remember, I drank Ballentine Ale while station at Bragg. The watery crap they sold in the PX was 3.2 and it took a lot to get a buzz. Pisses came easy though. Later, as a civilian I drank a lot of Pearl Beer, which wasn't bad  unless you got a green one and then the drizzlies were no charge. Sold big in Texas, though. Anyone ever hear of Southern Select. Sold in SE Texas especially during the Big War to End All Wars, Version Two.

I never drank the beer while in Korea; the hard stuff was plentiful and cheap, and it paid to be friends with the Company Clerk and First Pig.

The first beer I ever tasted was Schlitz when I was 13 or 14 and wondered how anyone could drink the stuff.
One learns.
We used to have Matz beer balls at high school partys as it was a cheap alternative to a keg.

I still drink Genny today as well as it is cheap and I go for quantity over quality.  :cheersmate:

I thoroughly enjoyed this:



No, this is not an American mass-produced beer, therefore it is not rat piss. It's brewed in the Czech Republic and, on tap, it's the best beer I've ever tasted, IMHO.

Something for the American microbrews (and I admit there are several that are excellent) to emulate.  :cheersmate:
