It's now the 'Classic '60's formula', too. I like it pretty good. I only ever drink it or Blue Ribbon. My grandpa, great-grandpa, and great-great-grandpa all lived by the Schlitz Brewery for years. My great-great-grandpa was the first and last in my family to leave. He was born there in 1875 and died in 1975.

Schlitz and Blue Ribbon when you're in the heart of Leinenkugel country? Oh, man. My dad has drank PBR for over fifty years, so I get the attraction. I didn't inherit it though. Unfortunately for my bank account, I like the expensive stuff although I probably don't average more than three or four beers a month these days.

I had a pair of Minnetonka moccasin slippers in camoflauge. I accidently left them in a hotel room in Alexandria, VA a couple of years ago. I called the hotel and was going to have them ship them to me. Alas, they were gone. I'd had them for years and they were really comfortable. I replaced them with a pair of Uggs.

I know. You'll all be telling me to turn in my man card. I don't care. They are even more comfortable than the other ones.

The leinenkugel beer is to me a real "taste buds" beer, and one of their most savory and mouth watering flavors is the dark and creamy beer...yummy like crazy!

Beer drinkers in the USA have been "fooled" by some major advertising done on behalf of the Budwiser company, sorry for all of you that drink that sewer water stuff. BUD says they only sell "fresh brewed" beer and that is has a born date on the can....or bottle....well beer as most other drinks, if aged, has a far better quality. So really, BUD being not aged means they produce a beer that has no chance of being what it could be but they have everyone buying it thinking they have a better beer than other brands. Sorry, if you are a BUD drinker you don't know good beer and have been "sold" a bill of goods by advertisement, so to speak.

That may be true for beers with a maltier characteristic, but most beers with a pronounced hops flavour tend to go downhill fairly quickly with time.
As for beers lacking in taste in the first place, who's to tell ...

I guess you may know more about beer than I do, but as far as I look at beer, and sort of like some Scotch, Wine, etc., if it is "aged" it took more to develop a fine flavor. I just feel that it takes some time and care for something to be given an age process and takes no time or effort to shoot out a 6 pack of beer from a factory and market it the way BUD does and that perhaps the mass public has no idea what a aged beer would be like. I am not an expert on beer or any other "booze" oriented product. I also note that some people may like BUD if that is what they really like to drink.

That's a De Vorss drawing. See, I can recognize the great pin-up artist drawing styles from reading my book, The Great American Pin-Up ;) If any of you gentleman's (and ladies!) library shelves are lacking this book, I highly recommend it.

For the less-hoppy beers, I totally agree. And the aging can get get fairly extreme with Belgian beers, especially. My son was in Belgium this past summer, and was able (over the course of a number of days) to taste through a series of 12 different years of the same beer.

About the same time as the "born-on date" advertising program, there was also a series of adds related to "skunky" beer. I assume that "skunky" flavour is at least in part related to the hops not holding up.
And I have had some dry-hopped beers for which you could tell the difference between the beginning and the end of the keg if it hadn't been selling fast enough.

I am so into art, drawings and illustrative pictures. I once knew all the names of those that do pin up art, and fantasy art, but as age hits me so does memory loss. The one name that does surface is Boris, but I think Boris was not pin up art, rather, fantasy art.

Well I am learning something new now. Thanks.

I actually no longer drink, well beer or anything with "booze" but that is mainly due to health reasons. When I did drink, I found that to stick to higher quality products normally resulted in less "after effects", more so on hard liquor than anything else.

I also became aware during my drinking time period, that it takes time to "acquire" a taste for some things such as a scotch or brandy. The same was true for me regarding beer. I think I started drinking Millers but after having some popular brand name import beer (dark beers) I discovered a entire new world of flavor all of it's own and could not even pick up a Millers to drink again after that!
