I was pretty young when my Dad brought home a silver 55 gallon Fibre barrel.
Set it up like a rocket, put an old pillow in the bottom as a seat, and sat in it facing toward the sky for hours.
We were fired up about rockets then and this barrel was silver.
They must have got worried about me cause I remember my older Brother and Dad looking in and asking me what I was doing.
I explained and they left me alone.

We had to go to Virginia to get Coors and Strohs, NC had a 3.2 alcohol limit (80's).
The Coors had a button opening system, cool at the time.
Strolls Fire-Brewed was better though.
My friend worked at the Coors Plant in Colorado, he said the constant refrigeration guidelines then led to a lot of wasted beer and they threw cases of it over the back fence where Locals would retrieve it.
Do they still have to ship it refrigerated?
