They still got Hamm's??

From the land of sky blue waters....Hamm's, the beer refreshing....!!


Always kind of skunky....like Schlitz....


I lived on Hamms and Strohs in the 80s. Bud Light was a splurge. Michelob next up if I had spare change. Never forget my dad walking into my off base mobile home (active duty, 20 year old) and his seeing that 55 gallon black trash bag filled with empties, and the chain mail looking curtain made from the connecting pull tabs. 75 tabs across, and at least 50 tabs per column. The 30+ MD 20-20 bottles on the mantle was the topper. Sorry for the memory lane (or lack of memory) trip...
Someone get Hoss a pacifier.

My dorm roomie had a chain of pull tabs.  Bud Light was still a couple of years away.  A case of Bud in cans was about $5.00.  Michelob and Lowenbrau were a bit pricey except for special occasions. There was no where near the present choice of domestic beer back then.  About the only alternative to light pilsner was Malt Liquor.  Colt 45, of course, and even AB had a malt liquor for a while.

They better have been the gallon size MD20-20, or you were just a poser!!
