Re: I’m from Milwaukee so I ought to know

[Michael Lee Bailey]

Hamm’s - the first time I ever had a lot of beer was after finding like 8 cans of the stuff as a 14 yo while cutting thru a neighbor’s back yard - could hardly believe my good fortune

Maybe aftermath of a party?

Their ad was like, “from the land of sky-blue wa-a-ter”

Myself and a friend got extravagantly & probably a little exaggeratedly drunk in his back yard - being a year older he gave me valuable dating advice I still cherish, before we took turns falling over and helping each other up. Good times!

(gotta love back yards!)

Pabst - *the* go-to beer in high school (so tasty)unless one wanted a 2-liter, in which case Meisterbrau.

Feels funny asking for it now, though.

Not to mention (but I will) Laverne & Shirley

Hasenpfeffer Incorporated!
