Ah, don't sweat it Chuck, I'm still a purist at heart! In the spirit of Oktoberfest, I just tapped into a case of Marzen I made last spring that's been sitting in my root cellar/basement all summer. Excellent, but heavy. Genesse, IMHO, is an excellent "high volume" beer. It's got good body, nice balance (tends to be on the bitter side IMHO, but I like 'em that way), and not as sickly sweet as the other Bud-ish, Busch-ish, or Michelob-ish domestic brands. Rolling Rock (from the Glass Lined Tanks! 33!) is one of my absolute local favs, but it's priced pretty much on the high side around here. I
*do* occasionally pick up a case of Yuengling's when I slip over the border, too.Canna be as bad as Old Milwaukee Light Draft! Gack. I'll be attending a clambake this weekend which will have that on hand, I'm sure.
Anybody remember Pabst's "Red White & Blue"? Now *that* was cheap! I can remember paying 7 bucks a case for that back in the early 90's. Or, up Detroit way, there was "Golden Goebel". Blech. One of Strohs' major blunders.
