I think the cheapest beer I ever bought was Buckhorn. Back in the
sixties it was 99 cents a six-pack and worth every penny of it.

I've had Narragansett beer in New England, National Bohemian in
Maryland, Pearl and LSD (Lone Star Draft) in Texas and I finally just
quit drinking in disgust. Oh yeah, don't forget Falstaff, Jax, Dixie and
Griesedick from out west.
