We used to buy it right at the brewery here. 9$ a case. Ah memories.

Quoted from BillySastard:Where we're all these "constitutional rights" citizens when the POTUS said that he has absolute power?
Exactly. Crap like that going on is why people are protesting
Quoted from poppapin:They put "Craft Beer" on the label and add $10 to the price!
I know what you're saying but this is just even with normal stuff .
IMG_20200418_032541 (resized).jpgQuoted from CrazyLevi:The US is falling apart at the seams because “forever 21” has been closed for a month, what’s gonna happen when consumers can’t buy a new smart phone for a few years, and when they finally can it costs twice as much?
Oh, and good luck getting new parts for your pinball machines anytime in the next decade.
I do not see consumers and our fine business leaders being Ok with a trading halt with China. It would take years for us to catch up with them in manufacturing, and the public would revolt at the huge price increases in everything they’ve been building for us.
Actually Forever 21 is no longer stylish and were on their way out.
We better bring medicine back,if nothing else. Whatever it takes or costs.
Quoted from phil-lee:Exactly. Crap like that going on is why people are protesting
People are protesting because they are whiny, spoiled brats who've never lived in a society that required sacrifices for the public good. Their grandparents are rolling in their graves.
It's also an excuse to walk around with AR-15s in public which is always fun.

I worked at a liquor store and could also get it at a drive thru dairy.
Also a shout out to Australia that provided Tooths and Fosters in big oil cans.
And long live Lowenbrau actually imported from Munich.

Which American beers do you dig? Or is it all pisswater?
I can enjoy a bud from time to time if it's freezer cold.

My dad was all Bud, all the time. But the stuff did not agree with me. There was a time I did Coors, but now it is mostly Mexican beer like Pacifico or Dos Equis or whatever fancy IPA my buddy brings over.

Well you’re still kind of “Bud” all the time.

We had to sell it to someone , no one drinks that crap over here . ( and it's Tooheys )

Reminds me of the popular quote;
"Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. And, weak men create hard times.”
Good thing those guy's aren't out there with their AR-14's that Biden mentioned
Quoted from screaminr:We had to sell it to someone , no one drinks that crap over here . ( and it's Tooheys )
I was a teenager, and those big oil cans were easy to carry under my down jacket when going into a high school football game. Lotta bang for my buck.
Quoted from CrazyLevi:Yeah...I just don’t get what “the world” is supposed to do to China. We couldn’t stop them from running over peaceful protestors with tanks. We can’t get them not to pirate DVDs of “Good Burger.” We’ve made little headway on human rights progress, or environmental stuff back when we actually cared about it
So what are supposed to do here? How is China supposed to be made to pay for their crime of doing the stuff China always does, especially when so much of the western economy is dependent on them.
Like many things related to the response to this pandemic, it all seems like showy theater. I get that we can point fingers at them, and try to absolve and distract blame from our own blatant and obvious failures...but is there any REAL action toward China that is expected here? I haven’t heard anything suggested. Are we going to sanction them? Stop trading with them?
What’s the endgame here?
The endgame? Moving more manufacturing back to the USA - which is probably a good thing. Trump started the arc long before this mess, now it just has to complete. This helps his argument.
Quoted from Gryszzz:I've never met an Aussie that liked Fosters. Ironic.
I’m pretty sure the Fosters we get in the US is brewed in Canada
Back in the 70s I don't remember there being any "craft beers". We got what was strongest so we did not have to carry too much.
Quoted from Gryszzz:I've never met an Aussie that liked Fosters. Ironic.
It's a big practical joke we have on the world .
If anyone over here asks for a Fosters they're tourists .
Quoted from PtownPin:From our fearless leader "Make American Great Again".... bring back all these jobs to the good old USA....I have zero issues if I have to pay more....
People claim they would but they never actually do. Look at pinball purchases on Pinside, there's all kinds of posts on how people proudly rip off their local economies by (insert whatever illegal purchase trick here). Also look how much people scream when pinball prices go up $100. You really think they will want to pay made in USA prices for everything? Good luck with that. Plus aren't even the "Make America Great Again" hats made in China?
Simply put, nothing will be done about China. Nothing, zero, nada. People can blather on about wanting jobs back locally but they lie, they just want stuff as cheap as possible. They buy nothing local then they wonder where all the jobs went and cry about it while their drive their not made in USA car wearing their not made in USA clothes using their not made in USA electronics. I walk the walk, I buy local as much as possible but I'm considered a weirdo for that. Heck people even make fun of me here for overpaying on pinball machines that I buy locally but I don't care, I support local businesses and my money goes back locally whenever possible.
In other news, the city of San Francisco is now thankful they lost the Super Bowl as a big parade could have been a spread the coronavirus nightmare.

You seem to know a bit too much Gryszzz
Quoted from o-din:Back in the 70s I don't remember there being any "craft beers". We got what was strongest so we did not have to carry too much.
I hear ya. Before the hipsters began opening breweries on every corner, Moosehead and St. Pauli Girl were the "craft beers". Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Quoted from Gryszzz:I've never met an Aussie that liked Fosters. Ironic.
Or Crocodile Dundee, for that matter
And who the hell throws a shrimp on the Barbie? If I remember correctly Ken didn't even have a shrimp.
Quoted from EJS:Good thing those guy's aren't out there with their AR-14's
the AR-14s were from when people were fighting COVID-1

That's a step too far , we love Crocodile Dundee ..... well at least the first one .

I spent some time down under and I figured Foster's was just the export version of VB.
"Whether you're sanding a floor, or fixing a door, and you've just got that thirst..."
Quoted from screaminr:I know what you're saying but this is just even with normal stuff .[quoted image]
A lot of that 18 you are paying is tax.
What I found in Australia is there are a lot more hot, younger, single women there than there are here.
And where all the statues like the Grimace that used to be in front of our McDonalds ended up.
That is all.
Quoted from toastbot:I spent some time down under and I figured Foster's was just the export version of VB.
"Whether you're sanding a floor, or fixing a door, and you've just got that thirst..."
No they're a bit different
A major difference between the USA and Australia is people immigrated to the USA because the could not make it or were dissatisfied where they were originally from.
They immigrated to Australia because they were above the law and were kind of forced to from where they were originally from.
You can kind of see that in both cultures today.
Quoted from o-din:Back in the 70s I don't remember there being any "craft beers". We got what was strongest so we did not have to carry too much.
That’s how we ended up experimenting with Mad Dog 20/20, Lightning Creek and all those other awful fortified wines that just made us sick as hell.
Quoted from screaminr:[quoted video]
That's awesome! Yeah, I didn't really look into it, but it was weird how I had only heard of Foster's, then I got there and everything was VB on TV EXCEPT the stuff that was broadcast internationally like rugby etc. I think they're made by the same brewery too, right?
Anyway I was in Tasmania so it was mostly Cascade and Boag's for me.
Quoted from swampfire:That’s how we ended up experimenting with Mad Dog 20/20, Lightning Creek and all those other awful fortified wines that just made us sick as hell.
Mickey's Big Mouth, Schlitz Malt Liquor, and Old English 800 also come to mind.
when I drank beer my tastes were pretty much aligned with the bottles HEP posts in his restoration thread
Late high school and college, this was the popular beer and we didn't have to head to no mountains, either. Tailgates, parties, whatever, this is what we choked down. I don't think I have had one in may hands since the day I left campus. For a brief time, Busch Light's star burned brightly.
pasted_image (resized).pngIn my senior community, we had 2 confirmed cases. When the staff and I first got the news, we felt like we all just signed our death warrants. Our 2 residents (married couple in their early 80's) have made a full recovery! Fortunately, we had our protocols in place before the married couple tested positive...so this seriously stopped the spread of the virus. Nothing is 100% absolute, but we took every measure we could to ensure this didn't spread throughout the community. So far...so good.
Quoted from o-din:Back in the 70s I don't remember there being any "craft beers". We got what was strongest so we did not have to carry too much.
Did you ever come across Molson Brador? It was 6.2% abv in Canada so a bit stronger than most beers at the time.
Quoted from Eightball88:Did you ever come across Molson Brador? It was 6.2% abv in Canada so a bit stronger than most beers at the time.
No, but I think we had the dark and I visited Busch Gardens in Van Nuys once.

that's why we thought Olde English 800 was so great in 1977

Nobody should be drinking Budweiser right now, specifically with a lack of toilet paper in the world. Stuff just gives you the shits all the next day.
When I was in high school, Keystone Light was the way to go. Stuff was like $9 a case. And it went down like water...because it was mostly water.
