Beer.....

[The Big D]

Rusty, here’s a photo with fashion…

…and a pounder.

One of these days we’ll have beers...in person.

Cheers!

Note: Coronado, CA, whilst on a baseball trip with pals, June, ‘21. That’s me on the right obviously.

Big D, I would love to occupy a barstool next to you not just for the repartee but the fashion tips.

Not big into beer, but a cold Guinness at the local Irish pub is in hand whenever I go there. It's a beautiful thing.

Irish pubs are far and few between in the Ozarks.
Don’t think I have ever seen one.

I keep 3 beers on tap, kept at 36 degrees:

1. Yuengling, for me
2. Corona, for the wife
3. Guiness for when the mood hits

I prefer Budweiser but if out n about and just wanting one, it’s generally an Oberon or a good stout.

Is the pic an example of the beer equivalent of "You have to kiss a lot of frogs before you meet your prince"?

Smart yacht owners, returning from the Bahamas, would bring a case of Kalik or Becks, in the clear bottles, for the top techs and get to the head of the line for service at our Marine Electronics shop.
A 5-10 lb brick of Conch was usually in the mix to take home as well.

Fosters Ale, green cans, is a local favorite.

One great client would make his last stop at White Castle, and bring lotsa burgers before jumping in his jet.

Hence the propulsion.

I used to work at the bus station in Champaign, Illinois. Illinois didn’t have White Castle then, but Indiana did. One of our drivers, the great Lou Goolsby, would take his bus through a drive thru on his route in Indiana and bring us a great greasy sack of White Castle burgers. I loved them then, and I love them now.

I did tech school at Chanute in August of '71. I had never nor have ever been surrounded by that much corn or that many Mayflies.

When working Military Customs in Korea we got to know the civilian flight crews on the freedom flights ( DEROS) birds coming out of Travis and we could get Big Macs delivered. Good thing I was armed walking through the MAC terminal with a McDonalds bag.

Since I was born in München (the beer capitol of the known universe) I might be a tad parochial about what I consider to be drinkable beer. Those who have had the pleasure of touring Germany on Uncle Sam's dime might remember a few of these.

D'ya think? My friend Paul is hopefully going to visit a friend there next summer after going to Finland on a choir tour. He would totally approve of your "parochialism."

In 71, I was stationed at Fort Sam for 6 months after getting back stateside. The Pearl and Lone Star breweries were both in San Antonio and we spent a lot of time at Lone Star. The owner had a lot of guns, trophies and western items on display. He had even brought in the Judge Roy Bean tavern and rebuilt it in the brewery.

They didn't seem to mind I was there to drink the free beer. My wife drank orange soda and our infant son usually slept.

The brewery was located on the grounds where Teddy Roosevelt trained the Rough Riders. I understand it is now the SA art museum.

^^^^ You can have the Lonestar, BARgunner! I'll take what's on your plate!

In 65, I was going to school in Bloomington and often rode the Illini Swallow to Champaign. I was from Tuscola and my folks would pick me up there.

I was working as a veteran's counselor starting in July of 71 and spent one day a month at Chanute speaking to members about to be discharged. I bought my first handgun, a High Standard Duramatic, at the Western Auto in Rantoul for $69.00.

We still have lots of corn, but no airbase.

I went to school in Bloomington, and on Friday and Saturday nights, they would bring bus loads of AF guys over to chase our women.

Don't drink much beer anymore. That said, Genesee, when I can find it. Got a taste for it when I was serving out my hitch, it's what the club had.

From my friend Paul, who is hoping (hopping?) to go next summer:

My favourite beer in Munich (last time I was there) was a "dunkel" - a yummy, dark lager.

what ... no Monschoft Kellerbier?
Dark and dirty as sin with a sweet finish like the temptation that got you there.

If you had ever been to Wildflecken you would have found another great beer made by monks.
