A trip down nostalgic lane So yeah I remember those beers you mentioned. Our choices were limited to pretty much the same style of beers just with different names. Oh yeah Brador ~6.2% was a coveted by me and my buds and we'd drive up and buy once in a while--- it was different and strong. Last I heard Brador was discontinued years ago. I also remember Coors was a big deal because it was only available Rockies and west. Overall back in those days Molson was probably my favorite brand. If we were feeling high class we'd buy some Lowenbrau--- remember it has the fancy foil around the top?Growing up in the 70s, I remember that the local beers of choice were Genny Cream Ale, Matt's, and Utica Club with out-of-region favorites being Moosehead, Old Vienna, Piels, Schaefer, Rheingold, and Molson (especially their stronger Brador, you had to bring it back from north of the border!). I've mentioned elsewhere in the off-topic forum that I'm a regular visitor to the Nostalgic Syracuse Facebook page, which is a bottomless pit of all things CNY. Through it, I learned about Congress Beer (Haberle Brewery), which was around for more than a century; however, I never heard one word about it as a kid -- very odd.

Today I'm now a beer snob and won't drink any of that stuff. Most the stuff I buy is like $4-6 a can! WTF
