Im not a big beer guy, but once in a while nothing beats a Yeungling or Stella Artois - especially with a few slices of pizza or a burger!

Beer. Yes, Buckhorn, PBR, Micky's Big Mouth, Schlitz, Blatz, Top Hat, Hudepohl, Schoenling, Little King's Ales, and many others are associated with a lot of good memories, as much as any premium beers.

Not long after I graduated from high school, my mom and dad took off for a week or so of vacation. I was left behind to take care of the house and the dog.
One of my high school posse called and asked what I was doing lately, and I told him. "Stay right there" he said, and a bunch would be right over.
And so it was. One of them had managed to buy plenty of beer. We played poker and drank beer until the wee hours of the morning. The next day I cleaned house of the empty cans.
When mom and dad returned, I happened to glance under the dining room table, and there they were - two empty cans! While they were bringing in their vacation stuff, I quickly grabbed the cans and put them in the garbage can under other stuff it already contained. Catastrophe was thus thwarted.
That was pretty much all of my beer drinking experience before I turned 21...

Laid off beer for several years, always liked Michelob Light or Budweiser. A year or so ago as I was finishing up yard work my younger stepson threw me an ice cold Yuengling. Never had one, I don’t think it was available in Ga. before I laid off suds. Any way it was good! I still like it.
Miller High Life was a beer of my youth that I had grown to dislike. I spotted a 6 pack of 16oz cans for $5 and decided to see what I thought of it now. I believe it’s the best low cost beer I’ve tried since going back to suds. I admit to being surprised at just how good it is again.
Michelob and Shiner bock beers have became my beers of choice. Neither are easily found in my neck of the woods. I have a local convenience store that gets the Shiner’s for me and another customer. There’s one liquor store that usually has the Michelob bock. Their cost is about the same here, about twice what the Miller runs.
I mix and match between these four beers, but Shiner’s is the one I choose most.

Surprised that none of the SE PA crew have mentioned Olde Frothingslosh, "the pale stale ale with the foam on the bottom".

For most of my adult life, I chose not to drink beer. During that era, I installed the lightning protection system, and the fire alarm system of the Anheuser-Busch brewery in Columbus, OH. Free Budweiser beer was available to me at that time, but I never drank a drop, During that same era. I toured the Coors brewery in Golden, CO., with family friends, from Golden. The men of that family were all employed by the Coors brewery. None of them drank alcohol in any form. The exasperating aspect of this true tale is; My loving wife accused me daily of drinking beer on the sly.
Fifty + years later I decided to have a beer with my son, and still continue to have one every now, and then.
All beer is good, some better than others.
Sadly, if offered a beer, my late mom would answer, “I’d just as soon leave it in the horse”. My loving wife's answer to the offer, is now the same.

Years ago my uncle and I decided to go up to the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY. Going up i-81 we came up around Pottsville, PA , and the car was inexplicately pulled toward the Yuengling brewery. We took the brewery tour and at the end we were in the plant rathskellar for samples. Can't get beer much fresher than that.
Premium-ish. Telluride brewing, I love everything they brew. I drink one or two beers per week, so what do I know? I know I love a beer with spicy Asian or Hispanic food and of course while grilling. This is not only my birthday month, or only my birthday week, yesterday was my birthday so I had my favorite food with a beer; potato chips!

Beer truth...
The Mayflower colonists decided to settle at Plymouth because they were running low on beer. In an age when so many have lost their moral compass, it’s comforting to know that people in the old days had their priorities straight.

Coors in a bottle. Learned all about Coors back in the 70's when I was stationed on the west coast. You couldn't get it on the east coast back then. My wife's uncle, who lived in Kansas, would bring me a case every year when he came out to see family back here in eastern NC. Still drink it but really hate those new squatty bottles.
Beer was a dime at the EM clubs in Vietnam. Because most of the waitresses did not speak English, there were no choices. One night would be Bud, the next Schlitz, PBR the next, etc. However one night a month, the beer would be free and it was Carling. They couldn't sell it, so they had to give it away. The only time I was ever thrown out of a bar was at Long Binh in 1970, when I was asked to leave an EM club because I snuck in two cans of Bud.
I have a friend who was in Korea and he said Carling was all they got, because it wouldn't sell in Vietnam.

Can't drink beer much these days.
But, long ago and far away, (Florida) an ice
cold beer in a frosted mug may have saved my
life.
I had gone to a Ed's barbecue joint for lunch.
Goat was on the menu and I asked for the hot
goat barbecue. It came with one slice of white
bread and I ordered an RC Cola with it.
The bread was soaked in sauce so didn't help put
the barbecue fire out. The RC lasted about a
minute and a half. I switched to water which
did nothing at all. Still I was a barbecue fan and
ate all the slab of bony meat.
As I was wobbling toward the door, with the
barbecue and bread on board, the large counter
woman grinned at me.
"When Ed say iss hot," she said, "Iss HOT!"
There was a basement bar a couple doors from
Ed's Barbecue. I stumbled down the stairs and up
to the bar, "Beer," I croaked.
The bartender (a great man!) reached into a freezer
took out a frosted mug and filled it with a tap
beer. I can't recall what make the beer was and at
the time did not care at all.
The mug was so cold that a disc of ice rose off the
bottom of the mug and drifted to the top. That
first mug damped down the fire. The second one,
in another frozen mug, put it out.

A while back, I worked for a company with a Maquiladora in Nogales. We wouldn't drink the water, so we drank the beer. It was Bohemia and it was great! Wonderful salt of the earth people and they sure know how to cook. We ate well, drank well and actually got some work done too.
Yes!
I've been enjoying plenty of limited releases and crowlers from local breweries, some classics (summer shandy, porch rocker, white rascal, etc.), and the $4.99 six pack of high life. For every beer, there is a time, and any make a good companion for a fishing trip.
