Handy Don 12,440 #29 Posted December 6 Until my early teens we lived in Dallas, PA and the local beer was Stegmaier Gold Medal. My step-grandfather, a Slovak immigrant, really liked it and whenever he visited from Whiting, IN he’d put several cases in the trunk of Grandma’s car to bring home. We kids thought beer was beer--why haul it across the country? 1 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’d say the coldest, but some times (even summer months) I’ll toss a case next to the fridge and still enjoy one once in a while. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Had a friend offer me a Lost Lake beer - "Here try one of these, it was only $9.00 a case". I choked it down. Then my response was "Did they pay you $9.00 to get the case out of their store??" 1 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,856 #33 Posted December 6 Budweiser, from the Chicago area, can give me a headache...but if you go down to St. Louis it is excellent and all down there love it. My favorite beer story...back when I was a Lineman for MaBell, we were climbing all the telephone poles and lowering our cable so Cable TV could come behind us and place their stuff. The people who lived in these towns were very glad to see us...meant their Cable TV would be real soon. If these people were home they loved to come out and talk with us. I remember one day, it was at the end of the shift and it was a 100 degree day in the summer. Guy comes out to talk and asks us if we would like a beer. My partner and I always figured "The costomer is always right." We said sure and followed him towards his garage. He hands each of us a warm Hamms...it was hot and it was the worst beer I ever had, but we said "Thanks" and when done we headed on our merry way. The rub was, we had a water cooler full of ice and cold Miller Drafts on the truck. My father-in-law turned me onto a German Bier called Dab. "A little Dab will do ya", and it is available here. My favorite though is Kilian's Red Draft...Irish Lagar. These are both excellent (in my opinion) and I highly recommend giving them a shot. Favorite saying..."Don't fruit the beer !!" 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 38,622 #34 Posted December 6 Back in the day ('60s) when I drank beer when I wasn't even thirsty, Yuengling along with Schmidts, Iron City, Old Export, Old German and Rolling Rock was one of the cheap, low price and low quality, beer available in SC Pa. Then in 1987 Yuengling introduced the Lager and got on the craft beer band wagon. Now if you walk in any Pa watering hole and ask for a lager, You get a Yuengling. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ed Kennell 38,622 #39 Posted Monday at 07:42 PM Never know what you may find. I took the same 1/4 mile walk to my deer stand that I have taken hundreds of times and today I spotted a shiny speck poking thru the wet leaves. Hazle Club bottle. 1960-70 Hazelton, Pa. This is a borrowed pic. My bottle is missing some of the printing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
