Looking for an excuse to play this.
Army, Navy, Airforce, and Marines shout out at 2:25.

Yep.
Nicely played. That one was not in our stores, and I have never been to Chicago, but the idea of having an Old Style with a slice of pie sounds excellent. And no “Hawaiian” pie allowed.

I remember they were kinda' sweet. Memory associations can be weird...
A few nights after we broke up, my ex-girlfriend's cosmetology classmate/friend came over for her ego and to see if she could.
She did.
We drank a few Little Kings, but for some reason, they made me sick later. As she was getting in the passenger side for me to take her home, I threw up outside of my side of the car.
That's my last memory of Little Kings and raven haired Beverley. She was goth in 1984.

In 85 I was a Bud guy. Bush if going cheap. Nobody in Alabama knew about good beer back then. I preferred Bud or Bush over Miller or Natural Lite,
In Kirkland Lake, it’s not just a beverage.

Always preferred ales. I started with this, aka Armadillo ale. I still have an (empty) stubby when they stopped making them

If someone else was paying:
Actually met Jim Koch in 1985 at a bar in Cambridge (33 Dunster St., RIP) and he bought us beers and gave us keyrings. He looked 12 years old. We thought he was a drunk loudmouth marketing intern when he started saying it was his brewery, but since he was buying, we smiled and nodded. Beer was very good. Saw his pic in Boston Globe two weeks later, laughed at ourselves. Kept keyring as memento of drinking career.
If I was paying:
... in bar bottles. $5.99/case on special at the packy.

I was 14 and it was PA with the draconian alc laws, so whatever we came across was fine.

Dad drank green bottled beers as long as I could remember. Heineken, Moosehead, Molson, and Rolling Rock, so probably one of those. When I started drinking in 92 it was the cheapest thing on the shelf. Almost nothing but craft brews for me these days.

My father tried Sam and said that it was really good. But I can remember when I was a little kid, we would take a trip out to his sister's house and then pick up a case of BL 40 ouncers. The packy out by her house was the only local place that had 'em.
