I guess I averaged a 12 pack a day for 15 years. Coors, Miller, Olympia, too watery. I like Rolling Rock, but hard to find and pricey. Schoenling Little Kings are made in cans, and are inexpensive, but have the kick of a malt liquor with much, much better taste. Heineken was too expensive for me, but I used to get a lot of it free, I did like it. Lone Star is not a terrible beer, but when in Texas, I liked Pearl a lot more. I did like Orion when I was in Okinawa. Panamanian beer is not drinkable, you can hold it up to the light and see the bug parts floating, and it tastes horrible. The only other beer I took one sip of and set down was Jax, a Louisiana beer.
I drank an ocean of Busch, moderate price, not too heavy or light, just about a good compromise. Bud was too expensive, and a bit heavy, like PBR. I loved the little bottles of Wiedeman, but they went away. Black Label is a little nasty, but when I could get it for a nickel at the Navy club, I did.
Of the malt liquors, I started with Colt .45, and it is better than Schlitz, in my opinion, Schlitz is a bit rough. There was something I would sometimes see called Private Stock, came in a green bottle, it was good.
I would tolerate Old Milwaukee but Milwaukee's Best was too rugged. One friend used to argue that Milwaukee's Best was best because it sold so much in our neighborhood, so the stores had fresher stock. That was bullshit.
I never drank light beer, or wasted money on some pussy fru-fru crap that would cost you $30 to get drunk. Fuck all that. Assholes remind me of wine bores.
