Old football game (watch before youtube yanks it)

You guys really went in for the whole Lite beer thing, eh? The opening segment in the original video Rastak posted was a lite beer commercial. There were a couple more in the Packer game. No wonder the jokes about american beer and sex in a canoe abound. The craft beer revolution has done a bit to change that, but the overall perception is still there. When I was in Germany last year, using the word 'beer' and 'American' in the same sentence elicited giggles from grown men.

Well, the enjoyment of the commercials isn't tied to the actual taste of the beer. They were entertainment, not testimonials.

Your just about or have entered your 60's.

The 60's are super years in my experience. Life has never seemed so nice as in retirement. Every day a holiday except for things that must be taken care of:

Precious.

Yup, turned 60 in January. Some say I don't look my age.

I get that not everyone drinks it, but there has to be large swaths who drink it religiously! Of course I can't say much. My brother showed up at the house with king cans of Keystone Light. Going back to my university days, I refused to buy light beer just on principal, booze is so damn expensive up here, I figured I was cheating myself out of alcohol I'd paid for if I bought the light stuff!

Oh, absolutely. The big, mass-marketed beers still dominate beer sales in the US despite their being a brew pub on every other street corner these days.

But the nice thing is that there are a lot more choices. Plus you can always get a Spotted Cow somewhere close.

Since this is kind of a nostalgia thread, here's one for you:



I used to buy cases of this stuff (bottles of course) 20 years ago (when it was produced by the Joseph Huber Brewing Co.). It was both cheap and good. It's strange how some of these old brands just fall by the wayside and get swallowed up by bigger brands. Check out all the brands that Pabst owns: http://pabstbrewingco.com/beers/ I've had a lot of these.

That was a tough can to get in OH and PA.

How about Uecker's "Must be in the front row"

Is that Nitschke that says "last frame, who's up?"?
