I was always a Michelob man. I converted to Ultra but it's difficult to find. I'm really not a beer drinker that much as I prefer unsweet iced tea anyway beer I use to drink and wonder where are they now Carling Black Label Moosehead Schlitz Schaefer Ballantine Falstaff Pabst Blue Ribbon
Today in the U.S., Carling Black Label is sold only in 12 oz. cans and 40 oz. bottles. If you see Carling Black Label in a retailer, please buy some and try it....you will not be disappointed! If it is unavailable in your market, contact your local Pabst distributor and ask them to please carry it! You can also contact Monica Hernandez or Faye Guajardo at Pabst Brewing Company. ...they do an excellent job of hooking up loyal brand drinkers with their beloved brews. Just tell her where you are from and what you are looking for! Here are just some of the awards carling Black label has received in the last dozen years : http://heymabelblacklabel.com/id23.htm
PBR is the new hipster beer. i've seen Moosehead at the store, and Black Label was synonymous with crap beer when i was in boot w/ the guys from PA. what i miss is Strohs. i've heard it's out there, but i can't find it.
I almost forgot I can see the sunrise shining, over narragansett bay, so fill the glass my friend..... [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1niVMF6Qgb4"]Narragansett Beer - Our Own New England Beer - YouTube[/ame]
when I was a teen, over-the-road truckers with refrigerated units would bootleg in some Coors because they could keep it cold. It was a big treat to be able to get your hands on a case of Coors in New England because it used to have to remain chilled.
Drank Ballantine my soph year in college,. Black Label was once considered a good beer but not in my experience. Duquesne was one I liked.It had a unique taste.Usually only available when I cam home for summer from college to Cleveland. Just read where Duquesne got a 2nd incarnation and started a re-establishment in August of 2010. " The new brew is a golden yellow pilsner with 3 hops for just a gentle bite with no aftertaste and extra malt for a bright white head." I no Longer drink Beer.Strictly Red Wine. But as a former Homebrewer I know Beer like the back of my tongue.
Mooshead still exist in the USA as an inport, Canada has some great beer as does Austrailia XXXX,and the other lager. I've seen Schlitz and falstaff. The only Ballantine I have seen was in single barrle Malt Scotch, expemsive stuff. Or was that ballveene? Pabst is still around. But if you want great beer, the best beer. You can homebrew, and make the finest ale and IPA for about $.75 per bottle. And Im talking the same quality as the $8.99 six pack. And best part is all natural ingredence, no preservative and no corn sugar. NO hang over. But with homebrew, it is for thoes who desire the best for less. Check into home brew. You can start with a MrBeer, and move up into 5gal batches of vast choices of beer. And there are many methods to use and a lot of books to read. Once I went homebrew, I never buy corporate beer again.
I'm ashamed to admit that I used to drink this. I don't think it exists anymore (I certainly haven't seen it). Worst beer ever!
Carling, formerly known as Carling Black Label, is the biggest selling 'beer' (it's a 'lager', obviously) in the UK. It's mass produced on a huge scale, and utterly vile stuff, almost completely devoid of any kind of flavour or character. It's extremely successful at marketing and sponsorship activities, though, especially related to soccer, so it's very popular among those drinkers who want to have the exact same freezing, fizzy, tasteless, characterless fluff wherever they happen to be drinking. Almost every pub serves it, and it's hugely popular in cans too. Personally, though, I'd rather drink my own urine!
I used to drink Heffenreffer alot. Its harder to find than it used to be. Plus those things get u wrecked.
Come to the UK - the beer situation gets better and better. I remember George's Bristol Beer when I was young. Cennydd would think it was his own urine, or perhpaps a pig's. This is one of the few respects in which the world is getting better. I remember Border, too, and brews designed to destroy the manhood of Southern Cymru/'Wales'. When I came out of the RAF I went in a pub with a friend who wanted a pint of shandy, while I had draught Nameless. 'You have made a mistake', I said, 'and given me shandy too'. 'Sorry', said she, and gave me another: it was just the same!
Absolutely. Gradually, over the last 30 years, CAMRA (The Campaign For Real Ale - the largest single-issue consumer group in the UK) has made an almost incalculably huge difference to the quality and variety of beer that's available in the UK. They are almost single-handedly responsible for reversing the previously ongoing decline of the brewing industry into what would have eventually become total and complete domination of vast corporations making cheap and nasty 'beer' to sell at over-inflated prices (based more on image than taste). There are still large numbers of people who drink the bland, mass-produced fizz like Carling, of course, but there's an absolutely incedible variety of superb alternatives widely available now (in pubs and supermarkets) for those of us who prefer something of a somewhat higher quality. Most of the beers I remember that have now gone ('Albright', for example) I guess won't be missed by many people!
I used to like Ballantine Ale. Diabetes keeps me from drinking alcohol although, every few years, I have a beer or wine. In Tanzania, I liked Tusker and Kilimanjaro, if I remember correctly - it was a long time ago.
Who remembers this glorious golden nectar of an earlier time? My Dad use to drink this nasty ass cheap crap... and I would gradually pilfer from his supply as he slowly lost cognizance
there was one worse...Brau Meister. it was $5 a case including MI's 10 cent bottle deposit. often part of the bottle would break off when prying off the bottle cap.
