Genesee Cream Ale terrible
You'll get a fist to your chops if you say that out loud in the Rochester -Buffalo area. Lol
There was a bar in Linden that used to have $3 Red Wolf pints, it wasnt bad to be honest.
Out of the Millers, IMO the worst one is The High Life.
Steel Reserve is atrocious
Who remembers the Honey Brown beer?
I had a GF that drank em, so I had to always pick up a 6 when I went to the store.

Boone's farm was always for the ladies who didn't drink beer. Tasted like cheap juice.
That is a staple in my household and at my tailgate. J.W. Dundees Honey Brown. For a completely different reason than drinking.
Throw in St. Ide's and you have the malt liquor triumvirate covered, ha!
Has it even been a decade....thought it was like the year before last, though admittedly it could have taken a couple years before the retro beer hit my radar as a newfound option for latter millennials.
didn't really get into St. Ide's. We had a primarily Colt 45 and Schlitz house. Steel Reserve if we needed to maximize our bang for our buck.
Here's to good friends, tonight is kinda special
The beer we'll pour
Must say something more somehow...
Tuborg was a dad favorite in the 80s...one of my and my brother's first intros to beer, what a mistake!
There was a bar at University of Delaware that you used to fill up a jug with Honey Brown every Wednesday on special....
Beast and Beast Light were the order of the day in college.
If we had some extra funds we would spring for Natty Light.
In my opinion National Bohemian was the worst of them all. Complete dog piss.

Someone in the Clinton administration decided to go on a crusade against them for their racist exploitation of native Americans. Daschle tried to get their license pulled, they got sued, so eventually rebranded as Crazy Stallion. No idea if it's still around. Arizona Iced Tea guys made it.
Natty Boh
Natty Ice
Natty Light
All piss water, I know Natty Boh is a different brewer than the others.
I won't reveal that one myself it's too easy for me for several reasons. However they weren't the only ones. Lone Star was one Rainer in WA was another. And some others I can't think of.Cheap beer from PA can be found underneath these bottle caps with riddles on them.

I can’t kill Rolling Rock completely. Ice cold with seafood on the eastern shore of MD and VA.
Rolling Rock when it was made by Rolling Rock in Latrobe was a very good beer. I remember a trip to the West Coast. LA area 80s and it was very popular. And it was considered an import.

Don’t know, but Haffenreffer had them on the green bottles too. Harder to solve when drunk!
Schaefer tall boys and Meisterbrau are my contributions to this thread. Glad those days are long gone.
Piels was less than $4 a case and if I want to say less than $3 in the late 70’s.Used to buy this at $2 a six pack back in 1980's
Gotta find the Jimmy Breslin commercial on You Tube: “Piels - it’s a good drinking beer.”
I know that was a big go to for many, but I never ventured into Olympia land. I had plenty of cheap, bad beer to choose from.
Anyone else remember this when you couldn't afford a case of anything else?
Almost forgot- any Pittsburgh folks out there? How about Iron City or Goebell’s? My kidneys are still pissed at me for those two.

Ha.
I remember the few times we resorted to Olympia we got a big drunken kick out of “Olympia Beer — Its the water”! Good times.
Which one? Remember Mich Dark? Comedian Martin Mull’s famous line in the commercials: “Don’t be afraid of the dark.”
