On the West Coast we drank Olympia (Oly) in High School and Coors. I even took the family to Olympia Washington to tour the brewery on one of our vacations. I went college in San Jose and they had a Schlitz brewery. Who can forget Brew 102.
Those were the days my friend . . .

In high school, Regal Select was the go-to beer on a lawn mowing budget. Of-Course it took a while to find someone over 21 to buy it for you. So, Miller is actually a few steps up for me 
Unfortunately it also acted as a laxative. I haven't seen it around in decades.

Gas prices went down here in Ca too. Last week, $5.89 gal to $5.69 gal. Don't get me started on Diesel...I have a diesel truck nearly $7.00 gal last summer. They should make cars run off of milk...cheaper than gas and a renewable resource. Oh, I forgot that cows create methane, but that burns too right? Just hook up a hose?
So we've gone from Bier to Gas to Milk.

In the sixties we cut our teeth on Schlitz, in the Midwest market, it was very popular. So was Pabst Blue Ribbon. Quarts were popular then, 3 quarts for .99 cents. Father would bring them home in cases of 12. My *** just stop hurting yesterday from the likens I got for the ones that turned up missing. Blamed me for taking them if you can believe that (geeze).
Remember drinking Meister Brau in the eighties.
And late seventies early eighties Olyimpia was also popular. They used to sell "Oly 55" disposable kegs, they held 55 12 oz servings in a plastic ball fit in a box . Advertising gimmick that it was made by Artisans (sorta like Keebler with their elves).
If my memory serves me correct it went something like this:
"Are there or aren't there Artisans? Do you think one will ever be found? Well just pour me another ice cold Oly my friend, the question is worth one more round"....
O, Yeah, the bar owner knew what he was doing when he put the Fraulein in charge of keeping your stein full......

Here is Miller's SoCal brewery. It sits on the site of the old Irwindale drag strip. It's near the end of Azusa Canyon - what we describe as the home of yellow river due to the high concentrations of beer drinkers on the weekends and a lack of bathroom facilities. All those dirt spots around the brewery were gravel pits that were filled in as garbage dumps. Yeah makes me want to run out and buy a case of Miller groundwater beer.

But can anyone who grew up in SoCal forget Brew 102?

The cleverest gimmick for keeping bar patrons drinking is a ******* beer joint in Amsterdam where it cost about $5 to get in, and the beer, snacks and foosball are FREE. No liquor, just beer. You leave your credit card at the door and you pay based on how long you stay. From what I’m told the service is not slow, they just count on guys drinking, watching sports on TV and looking at the ******* bartenders. I guess the illusion of “free beer” helps too.

A guy swaggers up to the bar and asks the bartender for a Schlitz.
Bartender says, we ain't got no Schlitz & hands the drunk a different beer.
15 minuets later the drunk is back at the bar and says, bartender, I want a
Schlitz. Bartender says, we ain't got no Schlitz, & hands him a different beer.
15 minuets later, here comes the drunk again, says bartender, I want a Schlitz.
Bartender says, hey buddy, if you take the Grain out of Grain Belt, what would
you have, drunk thought for a second and said, a Belt. Bartender says correct.
Then the bartender says, hey buddy, if you take the Coors out of Coors Lite,
what would you have. after few seconds, the drunk says, a Lite. Again the
the Bartender says, correct.
Then the bartender says, hey buddy, if you take the F@&k out of Schlitz, what
would you have, the drunk thought for a couple minuets and said, there ain't
no F@&k in Schlitz.
Bartender says, That's Right Buster, We Ain't Got NO F@&kin Schlitz !!!

Beer has no social redeeming value because it comes out looking the same as it went in!

It is said that you do not buy it, only rent it in the same consideration. So long as you do not overdue ( tell your wife you are only going to drink half as much as previous. Then go get yourself a 2 liter stein to replace the one liter you had been using), it does make things better in the interim.

I wen into a bar in San Luis Obispo to watch the World Cup Soccer Game many years ago. We asked for a couple of bottles of beer.
The bartender said “we don’t have any bottled beer, only cans”. I asked why and he said “because you can’t break a can over a guy’s head.”
