Red Dog is one of the worst beers I can remember tasting.

For real. I wouldn't even drink it when I was a teenager. Maybe that's why he had it around.
 
to this day I still recall my pops trying to espouse the qualities of Keystone Light to my redneck neighbor who only drank Bud Light.





He's stepped up a little to Sam Adams these days, but he will still put down some boxed wine (WITH ICE!!!!) from time to time.





still love the guy.
 
Stoli and Budweiser (not together)





I remember seeing this in the fridge when times were tough:

I am quite familiar with Beer. I lived near the brewery and quite a few cases of it "fell off the back of the truck" during my high school years.





My pops, however, exclusively drank

J i m s t e r said:My dad used to make his own beer from kits. It was rocket fuel. The kitchen always smelled like a brewery (I guess because it was). As teenagers, two pints of it would get you there, no problemo. He used to get through 3 or 4 every night and then cycle to work at 6AM.







Ha ha, my Dad did the same thing, always a plastic keg on the side in the kitchen, filled with something resembling beer. Strong beer.





Nowadays it's Hook Norton, from a keg, from the brewery, never a bottle, never that. And this, when I remember to get it for him, so he can give me a lecture on the rights of man, every time.

There was a beer distributor up near the old train tracks. We'd throw steaks over the barbed wire fence for the dogs, someone would climb over and toss cases (!) which we'd catch and run away with. Good times.
 
My Dad and Mom both drank and smoked.

They both quit smoking cold turkey when my brother was in the oven, but my Mom smoked occasionally after he was a bit older.





They also liked vodka, which was easy to pilfer but embarrassing when I got caught and called out in front of all their friends.
