And as to the A side, that’s about Narragansett beer, which, back when the brewery still existed, was cat piss. Akin to Rheingold, for those who are old enough and NY-centric enough to recall that.
They’ve restarted the beer and now hipsters drink it ironically. It’s still swill.

@Gin & Tonic:
As a rhode islander, DO remember Narries very well. The poster above is correct that it used to taste horrible. Agreed, the new lager tastes as bad as it ever did, but their porter is EXCELLENT. It’s got a great roasty flavor that doesn’t overpower the malt. It weighs in at 7% ABV and comes in a 16-ounce tallboy can. I can’t get eough of it, to be honest with you. They also brought back the bock, which is also great.
beyond that horrible lager, Narragansett is not an ironic hipster beer, it’s actually very good. And the new owner (one of the Nantucket Nectars guys) gets props for seeking out one of Narragansett’s old brewmasters to get the recipes. You want hipster swill, it’s still PBR, which has never ever made anything that could be described as “tasty”.

Speaking of bad beers, does anyone remember Coy International? This is how bad it was – my fraternity had a pop machine where one of the options was beer, cost was a quarter (’82-’86), a variety of beers were placed randomly in the beer slot, and drunken fraternity members would not only pay another quarter to get something different if a Coy came out, they would come in, find free Coy on top of the machine and leave it there. The temptation to drink it was the sign that one needed to just go to bed. The stuff tasted vaguely like bad carbonated white wine in a can, but somewhat hoppy as well. The brewery was in NOLA; it is out of business.

@brendancalling: Ah, swill. Used to frequent a bar where you could order ‘Swill A’ or ‘Swill B.’ Also, if some customer in the restaurant ordered a glass of ‘rosé’ the bartender would fill a glass with half red swill and half white swill. If you noticed this he’d shrug and say, ‘Well, there’s no rosé grape.’

Back in the summer of 1967, I was sentenced to summer school in Newport. I listened to WBZ out of Boston because it was the nearest Top-40 station, and they ran all those beer commercials for New England beers. I may have never learned the quadratic equation, but I’ll never forget the jingle for Narragansett Lager beer.

Sounds like Altes Golden Lager, which was brewed in Frankenmuth, MI. $1.00/6-pack in 1986. Not great by any stretch, but better than Huber or Red, White and Blue when I couldn’t afford Stroh’s (Detroit-brewed Stroh’s, not that later Wisconsin-brewed piss).

Our go-to crap beer when I went to college in upstate N.Y. in the mid-’80s was Matt’s. Particularly memorable was the Matt’s Beer Ball, an orangey-brown, semi-transparent plastic ball that held about a quarter keg of invariably warm Matt’s. Ice cold, the stuff was just tolerable, warm it was near undrinkable. When we actually had a few extra bucks to spend, our step up from awful to merely bad was Meister Brau. Personally, I preferred 10-cent Fuzzy Navel night at the underage bar.

OT but does anyone here know anything about the new kid on the polling block called “purple strategies”. I looked at their page and proposed purpose but what I don’t find is any thing about methodology used. While they had pages of numbers of percentages, I could find no cross tabs giving break down by race, age, sex, etc so that makes me curious especially since some of their numbers are at variance with other polls.
The same also applies to the recent FL Qpaic poll whose numbers also showed variance with other polls.

The cheap beer my brothers used to drink while underage was Mickey’s Big Mouth. I think Hamm’s is still around — it’s crap beer, but they had very memorable commercials back in the days when you could still advertise beer to kids.

I don’t drink anymore. I used to like true ales. The thick ones, and stouts.
In terms of piss water beer, I’d take PBR over Miller low-life or Budweiser any day. At least it tasted like water, where the others taste like you just licked the inside of a ferry urinal. They’re all horrible, don’t get me wrong, but PBR is the top of the bottom of the barrel =)

Mickeys was malt liquor and deadly for a hangover. Hamms used to be a great beer but ended up bought by G Heileman I think like so many midwestern breweries.

When I was in the army at Ft. Monmouth in 1970 local stores, maybe those near the turnpike, no I don’t remember which exit, often had a mountain of beer in the middle of the floor. White label that said BEER. I don’t remember who made it, probably no one was willing to take the liability. But, with $72 a month to spend, a $1/6 pack beer was great.

@Mnemosyne:
So that’s what Mickey’s Big Mouth is — a cheap beer! I remember a character asking for it in a convenience store, in an episode of The X-Files many years ago. (The episode title was “Brand X”, and the villain was the company that manufactured the Smoking Man’s smokes.) For years, I’ve wondered what a convenience store might possibly sell that had such a name, and now at last I know.

@stickler: Rainier Beer! Whenever someone mentions Rainier Beer, I am reminded of posters hanging in our garage (Dad’s “man cave” before the term was ever coined) and a clock that had a running waterfall effect when plugged in. I also think of the little game: “Rainier Beer comes out of here.”

@BGinCHI: Little Kings? Yeah, I have a vague recollection of it. But, like I said above, I wasn’t drinking any of that stuff if it could be avoided.

Hamm’s is still around. $13.99 for a 30 pack.
And we always had Schlitz in our fridge circa early 70’s.
And we used to get little Duke beers. I can’t remember if it was called Duquesne or just Duke. They came in 7 or 8 ounce bottles.
And of course we’d dip into Carlings Black Label, Little Kings, and way back was the P.O.C.

Dubuque Star. An Iowa beer that could be described kindly as having a barnyard odor. A case of Dubuque Star sold for $5.49 when I was in college, and this price INCLUDED the 5-cent per bottle deposit. Without the deposit, the beer would have cost $4.29, and you would still have been ripped off.
Near the end of their existence, Dubuque Star made one last grasp for attention with Föecking Beer. I wish I were making this up.
Temporarily Max McGee (soon enough to be Andy K again)
@Amir Khalid:
Okay, technically, malt liquor is beer, but it’s light on the hops, and there are other additives that give malt liquor a higher alcohol content.
It tastes horrible, but it’s cheap and gets one drunk more quickly.
BTW, I’m a teetotaler, too, but only for the last 7 years. I learned my lesson about drinking malt liquors when I was still a teen, and didn’t drink it after the age of 17, or thereabouts.

@Temporarily Max McGee (soon enough to be Andy K again):
Depending on the state, “beer” can have a maximum alcohol percentage so beer-like drinks are called malt liquor, ale, etc. to get around that limitation.
Malt liquors have always had a street image as a ghetto and bum drink, which Saturday Night Live had a good time with.

@Omnes Omnibus: My son was born in the land of pop, but his memories only go back to living in the land of soda. One time when he was a kid we were traveling and the machine at the rest area had a sign on it saying, “Does not give pop!” He was stymied by this, and wondered if the machine was supposed to hit you or something.
What was better was as an early reader he was pulling on a door that opened the other way, I said, Look at the sign, silly. He says, PUSH (rhymes with flush), how is that helpful? The family says push (rhyming flush) all the time now.

@Mnemosyne: Mickey’s is officially ‘Mickey’s Fine Malt Liquor’. The wide mouth is from when they widened the bottle opening. I have a Mickey’s baseball cap. It’s REAL classy.
BTW – more than just hipsters drink the new ‘gansett. Old timers say that the new recipe is close to the original recipe. It only started tasting like skunk urine in the ’60’s (they say).

I live next door to the old Schmidt Brewery complex in St. Paul. By the time I got here, They were bottling Pigs Eye beer, Landmark Beer, Mike’s Hard Cider, and some other things meant for foreign markets. Every now and then a stray can (before the beer was added) would blow down the street and end up in my yard. My all time favorite beer can was for a beer that was meant to be sold at Japanese baseball games. The name of the beer was Hit And Run.

Sad I cannot remember the name (the beer in question killed the relevant brain cells), but a couple of years ago the wildly overpriced Associated supermarket near on 58th and 9th in Manhattan sold 51-ounce(!)bottles of some Russian beer/malt liquor of about 9% ABV at $2.50 per bottle. Needing respite from the miseries of life (should have stuck with music and cats, per Albert Schweitzer), I tried a couple of bottles. It almost killed me and was the worst tasting alcohol I ever had.

@RSA: Baltimore here. Natty Boh was drinkable, but National Premium was actually a pretty good beer. Until the got bought out by G. Heileman in the 70s,then it all degenerated into the watery pissy shit that everyone else on this thread has mentioned.

Worst beers: Stuff they sold in grocery stores in California in the early 70s. Golden Crown, Golden Velvet. Made Burgermeister taste good.
My all-time favorite nasty brew was “Keg Brand Natural Flavor Beer”. $2.87 a case. You could put one of those down on a table at a party and it would still be there untouched when you got back from the bathroom. Nobody but me would drink it.
ETA. That’s $2.87 per CASE. Back when Schlitz talls ran $1.50 for a six-pack. Yes, I was a cheapskate.

5 Tips for Pairing Cheap Beers with Personal Failures
Origuy
Bad beers, where to begin? I went to school in Champaign, so my memories are of midwestern swills. There was Drummond Brothers, brewed in Louisville by Fall City; Goebel and Stroh, from Detroit; Old Style, from Chicago. I lived in a house with 4 or 5 other guys and sometimes 1 or 2 girls. We had a small refrigerator dedicated to beer. Beside it there was a row of cups with our names on them. As we opened a beer, the cap would go in to our cup. When it was time to settle the score, the caps would be counted. Then we would go to the store and buy a few more cases, stacking them under the speakers in the living room.
joel hanes
Leinenkugel has attempted to reinvent themselves as a craft beer; IMHO the attempt is a failure.
I remember that in high school, people I knew regarded Coors, Bud, Miller, and Michelob as premium beers.
Hamms, Schmidt, Meisterbrau, Schlitz, PBR, Blatz, Heilemans Old Style, Old Milwaukee — all standard cheap beers in the Midwest, and all I knew of beer before my Army tour in Germany taught me what beer can be.
When we were really out of money, we’d try Buckhorn, at 99 cents the sixpack

Ah. Naragansett beer. Brings back memories of the lazy summer days gone by when they sponsored Red Sox BB and Curt Gowdy was their spokesman.

God, generic BEER (which we used to refer to as “genetic” beer) – I remember that stuff from the late 70’s when I lived in Denver, and the choices for cheap brewski outside of the highly-politically-incorrect Coors were few and far between. IIRC, it was actually produced by a “real” brewery (Miller? Schlitz?), and marketed by some company that distributed lines of stark black-on-white-labeled stuff to markets throughout the land (or at least in the West). I remember that they also sold generic SCOTCH, VODKA and WHISKY which were at least as vile as any cheapola “name” brand: I guess putting stuff like that through a younger liver does less damage…

Carling’s (Hey, Mabel, Black Label) was OK when brewed in Cleveland, but nowadays it is shipped out by ship chandlers who stock rusty African-registry freighters with it. PA Beers where nice when there was some pride left, like DuBois, or Schmidt’s (of Philadelphia), and I did like Rochester’s Standard Ale. Genesee? Rather drink a warm Miller. Now who remembers what the POC in POC Beer stands for? LOL. I do.

(Not that that worked out so well, either.)
Actually, generic WINE was pretty drinkable.
