Coors Light Deck- What’s The Latest?

Too young for that q. I do, however, know the words to both the Schaefer and Rheingold jingles, having grown up a Mets fan. At that time the Yankees were sponsored by Ballantine and Piels, IIRC. Dad smoked Luckies. For him, LSM2HA.

Think of #42.

So much for worrying about people sitting in their seats.

Ballantine beer. I remember it as a kid. Wish I could have it again.

Those numbers are shocking. Guinness #1? Heineken #2?
That just doesn’t line up with anything I see out in the world on a daily basis. I’d guess it is:

1. Miller Lite
2.,Bud or Bud Light
3. Mich Ultra
4. Corona/Corona Light
5. Coors Light

Odd. A couple weeks ago I saw a Heineken box in my neighbor’s trash as I drove by and thought, “Who drinks Heineken anymore?”

I prefer microbrews but when drinking crap beer, I go Miller Lite. Most everyone I know chooses Miller Lite or Mich Ultra.

'That just doesn’t line up with anything I see out in the world on a daily basis.'

absopositivalutely. that guiness/heineken stuff is complete nonsense. currently, and other than the latest 'seltzer beer of the week' thing (ahh, the good ol days when it was only truly or white claw, which both stink, and so do all the new ones), i see mostly bud light, mich ultra, coors light, pbr, bud, and corona, as nobody seems very interested in the feeling you get after drinking a couple/tree of newcastles in the warm weather. not being any kind of alcohol expert, i will say that i've never had a single sam adams anything that didn't taste gross. that peroni stuff seemed kinda popular a few years back but now, notsomuch on the picnic/barbq circuit.

OMG! I remembered this, word for word, even though I haven’t seen it in 50? years! Thanks for posting.

That was great! Had never seen it so maybe not that old.

We would buy Piels for $6.99/case at UConn, late eighties early nineties. It was crap, but cheap.

 

[TMB4405]

I was same time period. Our go to was anything cheap but we did hit the Black label “bar bottles” quite often as we felt the bottles made it “better”. Very funny now.

Schaefer bar bottles for us in the early/mid 80s. $1.61 a case. Needed to be ICE cold.

Red, White and Blues for us, which are generic PBRs.

Dirt cheap and borderline drinkable.

 

[storrsroars]

We'd have a case of "decent" beer (e.g. Bud, Mich) to start, but once that was gone, it was...

$4.99/case in late 70s.

(and I'm not buying $1.61 for a case of Schaefer bar bottles. For a six pack, sure, not a case)

They might have been there for a while

I would sell back my books to buy premium beer for Spring Weekend. Busch!

Stewarts Root Beer for me

Piels had that old guy Lager taste that went out of fashion but I kinda miss. There was some old saloon in Chicago that made their own lager that had it, other than that?

Yup, did that too. Bass at Ted's for me though.

Your post shook the cobwebs of my mind. You are right. The case of Schaefer bar bottles was cheap, but not that cheap. Your pic of Weidemann's reminded me THAT was $1.61 for a six. It was on the floor of the cooler at the package store I bought it in. Literally had dust on top of the cans that had to be wiped off, it had been there so long. Nasty, nasty stuff.

We also occasionally stooped low to buy Carling Black Label, or as we called it, Black Cloud.

Remember drinking these bad boys my first two years of college. It was my good buddies cheap beer of choice. I was more of a Busch light guy myself.

We did case races where we'd put teams of two-three people in a dorm room with a case of beer. First "team" out with a finished 30 wins....no idea how I am still alive sometimes.
