More beer! I think I'll try that Kilt Lifter next time. I don't think I've ever heard of "and Bob's your uncle" before. Cool song, too. Thanks, Sharron!
"Bob's your uncle" is an expression commonly use in the trades meaning "job done!" My boy's a plumber... I loved the song, too. Those guys were a little zonked out if you ask me... having way too much fun.
.. am a lover of a decent draft beer.. never a doubt !
I left University of Guelph after Football & Basketball & DJ’ing at the Bull Ring on campus - for classic HayLoft training as waiter then bartender in Toronto .. meanwhile MicroBiology Grads I knew from the Agricultural College had CO-OP experience .. Brewin Th Craft Beers ! 🦎🏴☠️💋
Never had a great beer until I had an Alagash home brew from Maine. What a kicker. As a kid started with Colt 45. Graduated to country club a jointed chug a lug club. Hung over left the dregs and now I drink a Guinness stout at the Brit pub and a Mexican beer or three with spicy 🌶️ Doritos. Celebrating Memorial Day at Greek festival and had a Mythos beer. Life can be kind if you carry a church key.
It's not necessarily the good ol' boys chiefly buying beer now- the artisan/craft alcohol market has exploded and with it comes consumers of many varied backgrounds.
Never a truer word spoken, Sharron. I have gone into posh beer shops and asked the fellow behind the counter, “Do you have any normal beer?” such is my confusion at all the different flavours and types
Talking of naked women on cans of beer, Tennents Lager, probably still the most popular beer in Scotland, used to have photos of scantily clad women on the back of every can, with their names underneath like Jackie or Rosie. I think you can still buy very old unopened cans on eBay for a few hundred pounds 😆
I have tasted some pretty weird beer. I sip from my son's glass every time I see him. Just to see what he is trying out. I am adventuresome, but still prefer an old-school American beer.
We have a new airport here in Salt Lake. Talk about daunting. I'm ready to ask for a wheelchair. I think it's at least a 20 minute walk from the time you check out at TSA to your gate.
I brought a couple of friends from the former Soviet Union for a three week training trip. They wanted to visit a grocery store and Walmart. At the grocery store, they didn’t make it past the bread aisle. Too many choices. And Walmart was so overwhelmed that I limited their time in the store.
We are blessed with abundance because we are free. Not everyone in the world has it so good.
I am grateful for our history, traditions, and sacrifices made by so many to give us this good nation.
When I am depressed, I often think of eastern European mothers standing in line half a day just to buy a cabbage or a couple of onions - or whatever might be offered on any given day, and it changes my perception. It has not come to that in the US. Yet.
Whatever the future holds, we can only live now, and now we live amidst so many blessings, if we choose to see them rather than wallowing in our misery.
Buckhorn was my beer back on the 70's when I drank heavily. It was the cheapest beer on the shelf, and I didn't have much money. The first beer I ever drank was a Budweiser the night of my high school graduation. That is a fun song. I noticed it mentioned Santa Cruz. Thanks, Sharron.
Cheers, KC! Yes, funny song. Written in 2001 by Tom Snider. I had no trouble drinking cheap beer back in the old days. I think there was a lot of Mickey beer around at the time. We both wised up. Phew!

Can you have too much fun?
I distinctly remember one time in 1978 when we…. um… yes, I think it is possible.
Now, is it possible??? Maybe, but not probable!

Hah! Great story, Mr O'Donnell.

A personal beer history. A different beer for each stage of life.. Love it.
Then I switched to wine drank vintage odd years.
Two hearted Trout! No kidding! I think I bought it for the art work.
Two-hearted Trout! Ha ha ha

Absolutely. It has become a cult with some of the 30-somethings around these parts.

Normal beer! ha ha ha. I have downed a lot of Tennents in my day. You always know what you are getting with Tennents.
Miller Lite for me. If I want to get fancy, I'll have a Yuengling. Please no fruit in my beer--and Bob's your uncle.
I'm with you, Jim no fancy beer for me.

As long as an airport runway. That cracked me up.
Pretty daunting!

Yikes! You better jump on that little beeping cart!
I've considered it.
Hilarious! And the song put the head on the beer.
Pretty silly stuff. It is good for you, right? The silliness, I mean, not the beer. Oh, hell, the beer, too.
Hey, any brew with a live yeast is good for you.
I'm still singing along...nothing like fun with IDs, especially fake ones!!
Yeah. Funny song! Sort of reminds me of Alice’s Restaurant.
You can never have too many beers….oh wait. 🤪
“Oh, wait”, is right! Phew! Close one.
