That's the word! And the price was twice as nice.
I think there was a time in most of our lives where there was no such thing as a bad beer....especially if it was free or cheap.
That is not surprising at all.: Patdog, it was your younger brother who dared me.
I honestly have no recollection of Schaefer Light tasting that bad. Black Label Beer was another budget go-to.
Schaefer Light was a perfectly acceptable beer at one point. I don't know about all these rich mfers....but there was a point in my life where we drank whatever we could get our hands on. Case in point:
I like good beer and there are several craft brews that I won’t blink an eye at paying $12 for a sixpack but it’s hard to beat a good ole Miller High Life. Drank several on the golf course yesterday.
I was in Miami in the late 90's and had a friend who was a LSU fan. He wanted to listen to the FB game. I told him to go to the parking lot and tune into WW. He couldn't believe WWL would come in in Miami
I believe 1984 was the temp lights game with LSU
Correct. I had a minor altercation with a couple of tigers that night. Police were called but no one went to jail. Good times.
In 1974 and 1975 we lived in an apartment right off old highway 25 across from where Obys is now. Liquor store on old 25 had a whiskey called OLD ROCKING CHAIR. IT WAS ABOUT $1.25 for a pint. We mixed it with Dr. Pepper and it was our drink of choice. I tried to find a bottle of it a few years ago for a gift to one of my roommates at the time but it was not to be found.
Old Mil was Dom Perignon compared to Schaefer.
But, the only reason I know this is because I drank plenty of both. Schaefer is just the one I remember as being particularly awful. The Light was only purchased because it dulled the awfulness of the full lead version.
That brings back memories. About 25 years ago four of us went to St Louis for a cardinals game. We did the AB Brewery tour beforehand. We were the last tour of the day and when we got to the sample tasting room The Cobra was one of the samples. Everyone else on the tour tasted and left, the four of us were drinking free beer before the game. The tour bartender finally told us that there was about a half keg of Cobra left and we had to be out by 5, it was around 3:30. We emptied the keg and left. Drunk and starving we ordered 50 hot wings at a bar to go. Smuggled them in Busch stadium. Sitting on top of the third base dugout drinking more beer and eating our wings, my buddy starts throwing his wing bones through the net onto the field. They actually warned him the first time, we got thrown out the second time. Bought four Cardinals T shirts from a street vendor, four tickets from a scalper and back in we go. We even ended up back in our original seats after we didn’t see the security guard who chunked us.
There used to be machines in front of convenience stores in Starkville where you could a beer and a quarter in, and it would spin it to make it cold.
Anybody for champipple?
I graduated to Schaefer and Schaefer Lt after Malt Duck
Strawberry Hill was panty remover in a bottle.

Found a sixer of this buried in the back corner of a frat house freezer. Can’t say it was my favorite.
I listened to WLS with Larry, Lou Jack, and John Records Landaker. FM stations did not start playing Rock 'n' roll until the late 1970s and early 1980s. Those nightly stations with rock 'n' roll were the only places you could find that kind of music.
Of course it was. It would've been without the King Cobra, but that ensured the epicness.
Yes, good music options were limited back then. We listened to State baseball on WSSO out of Starkville. It was really neat, when they would go off of the air about 11:00 at night they would play Elvis singing the slow version of Dixie. I can remember cars pulling off on the side of the highway and sitting there until the song was over. That was in the 1960’s. It was a beautiful version of he song and people still honored the Old South. With regard to WLS and other a.m. stations back then, it’s all we had. Had never heard of f.m. Radio and our car certainly didn’t have an f.m. Dial.
