Strohs--- that was Gramp's beer. I remember the old gold colored cans--- they made him a cake once that looked like the can.

It's great if you were exposed to *good* beer when you were young, but when I was a teenage making $5 an hour, if we wanted to get drunk we needed to buy something cheap (gotta *tip* the guy making the purchase ). And when you're a kid, it's all about getting drunk.

After all, if you're in your early 20s and are making $8 an hour and raising 2 kids, how many craft brews do you think you're going to get exposed to as opposed to, say Busch light? And if your daddy drank busch and you drink busch, odds are your boy probably will too.

it's kind of like the food. It's not "undrinkable." It just kind of sucks.
It has its place. We can't discriminate against the lower class beers
They may be distant cousins but still part of the family or the stuff we love.

Exo said:Haha, yea A cups are nice to play with and the term "more than a mouthful is wasteful" BUT if you want to get down to business it's time to un-strap the D cup and get er' done.
