Square Wheels Posted November 28, 2020 Share #1 Posted November 28, 2020 When I was about 17, I was working on a guys house, building a deck. Me and a friend of mine. The guy offered us a couple of beers, I had to be cool, so I said sounds good. Took a few sips, most vile thing that has ever been in my mouth. Never touched the stuff again, had maybe 1/4 of it. It was Budweiser. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralphie ★ Posted November 28, 2020 Share #2 Posted November 28, 2020 I remember it tasted like manna from heaven from a keg when I got to college. Smooth, creamy, slightly bitter. And I had a similar experience at a similar age with Miller High Life and I liked that too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once had a Mary Jane. It was awful. I never tried candy again after that. I once had some spicy jerky. It was awful. I never tried meat again after that. I once had rode on a crappy rusty Walmart bike built for a 5 year old. I never got back on a bike again. I once saw the movie Howard the Duck. It was awful. I never watched a movie again. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got it second hand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prophet Zacharia Posted November 28, 2020 Share #12 Posted November 28, 2020 My first beer was a warm Schaffer taken from my father’s case of beer in the garage. It was bad. I persevered. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know that! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Auto Western Auto wasn’t much of an auto parts store. It was a guy stuff store. I belonged to a rifle club that met at an indoor range in the basement of the western auto in downtown Sharon. I had a lot of sharpshooter awards from there. That store disappeared during urban removal in the sixties. Mercer had a Western Auto on courthouse square. It burned down before I moved to Mercer. I remember they sold bicycles and bike stuff. They also sold clear plastic steering knobs with pictures of naked women embedded in the acrylic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longjohn ★ Posted November 29, 2020 Share #16 Posted November 29, 2020 I bought a case of Penn’s Dark. It says on the box that they were making craft beer before it was invented. I think they started in 1986. It’ snot bad, 5% APV. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
