8. Let's see here
Pabst Blue Ribbon
Milwaukee's "Beast"
Hamm's
Black Label

Thank goodness I'm older, wiser, and have a bit more money now to afford something with much better taste.

9. Genessee Cream Ale
Back in my youth, there was a bar that had Genny Cream on tap for 25 cents - needless to say, we drank a lot of Genny Cream. I actually acquired a taste for it - not too bad a beer after the first six or seven.

14. I know what you mean
Some beers will start to taste better after the first 6 and some of them taste great, but you can't drink more than about 2 of them before it starts to not taste so good.

12. Hamm's
Gotta defend the Minny home team. Besides, when I was growing up the Hamm's Bear was one of my favorite cartoon characters. The commercials were always on Twins games.

16. Hamm's kicks ass
"From the land of sky-blue waters..."

I work a couple blocks from the old plant in St Paul. It no longer makes beer of any kind, sadly :(

17. Tecate is a crap beer?
that's a new one on me.

But then I have refused to drink any crap beer since I left college ( read Old Milwaukee and it's ilk) and could afford microbrews.

( sorry to despoil this thread with my microbrew snobbery!) ;)

23. Tecate is Mexican Bud
I think they are even the importer! (Corona = Coors)

Bohemia, Negra Modelo, even Dos Equis es mas bueno.

24. Yeah, pretty much. I'd prefer a Dos Equis or Pacifico.
In LA, man, I go to bars and I see people drinking that shit all the time.

22. Pabst Blue Ribbon
not really my favorite, but had to mention it. Tried to get drunk off it once in college and failed miserably. The horrible belly ache set in after 3, and considering I would've had to drink the rest of the sixer just to cop a buzz considering the low alcohol content, I gave up. No buzz, just an upset stomach and $4 poorer.

25. Lucky Lager
The only beer so awful that they printed rebus puzzles inside the bottlecap in an attempt to distract your gag reflex.
