I don’t know what their survey methods are, but….Miller? I don’t remember last time I saw someone drinking it. Not even sure where I’ve seen it on tap recently.

Ok. Must opine here. Personally speaking, women find me handsome and handy. Just ask them.

But Miller High Life? That map is a joke. No F-ing way is it the most popular beer anywhere, especially out here in the west. The video is pretty damn funny.

The Champagne of Beers is GOAT when it comes to the the general, mainstream beers. I don't always want something "craft".

Barf. Those clear bottles? Skank taste ready to happen.

Speaking of beer, I haven't heard much (anything) about 'ol Crimson lately. Sure as hell not on the shelves at my local stores.

And completely off-topic for this thread, where is old Gibby today? I am quite pleased to note that since he and I agreed to quit posting about politics, there has not been one post on those hideous threads. I guess we hold more sway than even I, the Royalty and undisputed Lord of WW, would have thought. I guess I will grudgingly appoint the curmudgeon to my court. As Jester of course.

Yeah right. Just like swearing off picking your nose, when you get that itch nothing’s gonna’ stop you from going to town.

 

[Coug90]

Not a fan of Miller. Always thought it had a funky taste. Much prefer Coors light. Bud light works in a pinch too.

Anyone ever tried Costco’s Kirkland beer? Haven’t seen it for a while. Never could figure out whose beer they labeled.

Ha! I mean, I really prefer a Victoria or a Carta Blanca if I had my preference, but unfortunately too many bars are worried about pumping out their 14th *shi*tty) IPA instead, since they're easier to make than a pilsner/lager.

Not sure on Ol' Crimson, since I don't live in a distribution area. I haven't been able to try it yet.

I would kill for a legitimate Cream Ale. Nitrogen based not carbonated so the bloating/full feeling is negible, unless you drink 17 of them. Drank the crap out of Tennent's in the UK. Love Guinness but something on the light side would be a nice change.

Agree on the 22 selections of IPAs. Played out.

BTW, Kokanee destroys Miller in Spokane with regards to sales. That map is whack.

 

[COUGinNCW]

Just about everyone I hang with drinks Coors Light. Definitely the beer of choice at tailgates in Pullman I go to.

There are a niche of Miller Lite drinkers in Spokane. Lots of x baseball players. Origins from Jack and Dans is my theory based on the washed up baseballers I know that hang there.

Ironically, Jack Stockton's son is the big cheese at King Beverage.

Which took a lot of pressure off socially when I learned they also sold Kokanee. Bud sucks.

 

[cr8zyncalif]

Miller was a big presence on campus in the late '70's. Not quite as popular as Coors, but probably 2nd. We decorated our corridor one Christmas with Santa and the Miller Deer. Then along came Henry's, followed by a host of others, and Miller slowly lost ground. It is what it is; not a bad beer; but how anyone would consider it a favorite anywhere is beyond me. Shows the power of a product placement survey.

Aren't brother and sister R the big cheese there?

Mother Earth Brewing. Cali Creamin’ is amazing.

 

[Suudy]

Natty Light, Bud Light, Keystone Light, and Busch Light all made rounds when I was in school. Seemed like each week one was on sale cheaper than the other. Might splurge for Oly or Henry’s or Ranier from time to time. But those were the staples.

After graduation I settled on Coors Banquet. That was my football and fishin’ beer. But about 15 years ago, a fellow football official introduced me to Miller High Life. I became a convert. Best “swill beer” on the market. Don’t know how I never tried it before that. But it’s the best.

It is the GOAT for football and fishin’ and after mowing beer. No point in arguing.

Keystone, Busch, and Coors light were the primary beers when I was in Pullman. If someone wanted expensive, “fancy” beer, it was Henry’s (which I never liked). Rico’s had $2 pitchers of Oly that went down pretty easy - some friends and I would order 4 pitchers…no glasses. Rainier made some appearances, one of the frats had Lucky Olympics. Miller was a bit of a novelty.
I rarely saw Bud cans, but I think it was a fairly common keg beer. The Coors light party balls were also a common sight too.

 

[Suudy]

That’s right. Oly Dark pitchers at Rico’s for nex to nothing. Bud pitchers at the Sports Page were $3.75 (IIRC) but at Rico’s the Oly Dark was $3.

The Down Under also had a "dark beer" on tap in the early to mid 1970's. No idea what the brand was, could have been Rainier.

It wasn't that the beer was dark, it was just an effect of being down in that cave.

Oly dark was free when Pete was working @Rico’s!

Brad Augustine lost more than a few nights worth of inventory shrink when my buddies were tending the tap at the Coug too.

Don’t forget Stroh’s and their market revolutionary 15 packs.

They were overshadowed by the Keystone suitcase 30-packs.

Of course, you had to drink the first 24 Keystones to get a buzz...and then you had to pee too much to drink the other 6.

Bohemian. $4.12 for a case of 11oz bottles. At Rosauers, RIP. Definitely would be puking long before you hit 24.

Possibly the worst beer ever.

While we are on a beer discussion, it is always good to note that when St. Helens blew, the first thing to run out at Dissmores was beer. Milk was second. I will never forget sipping the generic beer (white can, black "Beer" lettering) while watching the ash fall at Chinook. We all thought Beer was a Lucky product...tasted the same. Cheap, and tasted OK if cold enough. At that point it had only been on the shelves for a year or so and actually had a bit of cache'.

It had a couple cycles of nostalgic or frugal resurgence too. Haven't seen it in a few years, so it might be due for another return.

St. Helens was before my time, but the stories I heard said that Pullman basically went dry, and when the beer trucks finally made it through they were selling right out of the back of the trucks.

Well I was there for St. Helen's. Was at an outdoor party when the cloud first started coming over. No one there knew WTH was going on. Then the sky got dark and it started snowing ash. I think we turned on the radio at that point and found out what was happening.

The volcano saved my GPA that semester. Many of us were able to end school early and take whatever grades we had at the time. I was in the process of getting an F in Computer Sci 220 (had I taken the final) and escaped with a C or C+.

And Animal Beer hasn't been mentioned. Or fish beer, depending what critter was on that particular half case. Schmidt, correct? "The Brew that Grew with the Great Northwest".

Schmidt is great in the woods or around a campfire. In other settings....no.

I was in Yakima for St. Helens (Terrace Heights, to be specific). I had an incomplete understanding of how far away the mountain was, so was pretty terrified. I thought the lava was going to get us. I could have used a couple of Schmidts that day.

 

[PeteTheChop]

Any Heidelberg drinkers from back in the day?

@ttowncoug maybe?

Wasn't bad at all if chilled to just a notch warmer than frozen
