    Collectors' items? With a bazillion of them sitting around unsold? Bwahaaahaaa.


    I have four sixers of beer on hand: Shiner Bock, Killian's Irish Red, Leinenkugel Summer Shandy, and Molson Lager. Great beers, all.

    Rocky, so you are almost out of beer? That would be alcohol abuse...🤣

    Haven’t been able to drink Budweiser for almost 40 years.

    While deployed in the IO we had a beer day and I traded for about a case of it. Issue was two beers a man, but some didn’t drink and had identified a good number them in advance.

    I had 6 the first night, and the formaldehyde in the beer gave me a headache I remember to this day.

    Four sixers is about four times what I usually have on hand, Ruger. But this brouhaha has kinda made me crave some. Just not Bud.

    I had a couple of Stella Artois beers at a graduation party today. Pretty good brewski

    Would it not be more appropriate to refer to the current situation as a BrewHaHa?

    I've been boycotting Budweiser for the past 27 years. It gives me the poops.

    They don't call it Buttwiper Beer for no reason.

    I refrained from BrewHaHa because it was just too easy.

    Stella is a beer under the big InBev umbrella along with Bud, if you're trying to stick to the boycott. So is Natty and Modelo. See the link in my first post. If it doesn't matter to you, press on.

    Was in the local food lion grocery store yesterday. Saw many cart loads of beer going out the door as usual . Almost none of it bud or bud lite. Took a look at the beer coolers . Didn't look like any of the bud stuff has been moved.

    Same at the Dollar store near here. But they were sold out of Steel Reserve.

    "I refrained from BrewHaHa because it was just too easy."

    I guess for a wordsmith such as yourself that is kind of a 'fish in a barrel' phrase!

    The company says that a boycott would have no effect on them. However, I noticed that the VP of Marketing is gone.

    As far as really lousy beer, some of my fellow old poops may remember this one-

    Baume bau! I doubt Bud has formaldehyde in it because that'd be illegal here. But 33 certainly did back in the day. So did Thai beer and whiskey. When you said you got pickled on that stuff, you MEANT it.

    I think the Export version is now free of embalming fluid, and it is actually pretty good beer.

    Your experienced 33 drinker woul hold his thumb over the top of the bottle, swirl the beer around, and hold the bottle up to the light to see if ther was a cigarette butt or other detrius inside.

    Your phonetic spelling is better than mine. Ba mui means "three tens" or thirty.

    It was plain that the bottler paid little attention to cleaning out returned bottles before filling them again. No telling what you might find in one. Drowned bees were common. We didn't much care; after all, bullets couldn't kill us, right?

    A buddy of mine found a cigarette butt in a Rainier pounder. I think that was about '82 or '83. I don't think I've had a Rainier since!

    They're coming out with a Biden beer. If you drink one, you forget where you are and what they told you to say.

    In case you are interested, here's the full list of 400 brands you need to boycott. Admittedly, almost all of them are found outside the USA, so the real list is shorter. Look at "Global" and "Americas".

    LIST

    Some great beers like PBR, Leinenkuegel, Boston Lager, Killian's Red and more are thankfully not on the list.

    Leinenkugel Summer Shandy season is ahead of us.

    Already bought some. In cans, unfortunately. My wife likes it since getting one on a summer day a while back. They're pretty refreshing.
