That's too bad. 21st Amendment out of San Francisco makes a Watermelon Wheat beer that is great and refreshing in the heat of summer. It's called Come Hell or Highwatermelon.

duff wrote:The worst beer I have ever tasted was purchased by a friend of mine at the PX on whatever base he was staying at during that time. The can was white with block letters on it saying beer. The closest picture I can find is below. The lettering and content on the label was nearly identical except underneath the part that said 12 fl oz was a label for the ABV. The can below looks like the top came out but on the ones he had it was a normal tab opening mechanism on top. They came in 6 packs held together by those little plastic rings. He had grabbed a few of the 6 packs off the shelf and it turned out that there were 3 different ABVs 3.2%, 5%, and 6%. The instant you popped the top on one you knew they were bad. They smelled like the men's bathroom in a college bar. Some people managed to choke them down after copious amounts of jagermeister but I was never able to take more than a sip each time I tried.

I remember those. Generic beer. They were available everywhere.

Don't.. just don't. The only thing good about Rainer beer was their commercials.

If your ever in Vegas I can make you some of the best bulgogi EVER!! I begged and begged my favorite restaurant owner in Korea for a whole year to give me the recipe and he kept telling me, "No! It's an ancient recipe for my family only to be served here!! I would lose much respect if I gave it to a GI!!" My last visit into his restaurant (I was there at least once or twice a week, if not more), I again asked, telling him I was leaving for the states tomorrow and would forever miss his bulgogi! Again he turned me down. When I got my bill he said, no! On the house for best customer Scooter!! (My Nickname) He handed me my check which read nothing owed, but stapled to it was his cherished Bulgogi recipe written in Korean of course!!! I almost cried! I asked for him so I could thank him and they told me he had already left. I'm sure it was a lie and who knows if he included EVERY ingredient (It tastes the same to me), but either way I will never forget him or the gesture he made.

That is a great treat to hear your story of a beer you liked and can now brew. It is like an heirloom recipe you have in your collection. I hope you will enjoy sharing the beer with people but respecting that you have a special recipe to hold onto for both memory and quality. That is an awesome story to share. :cheers:
