 KW> I mourn the lack of bad beers. :)  When I was in college in the late
 KW> 80s, there was a variety of cheap, watery beers that were perfect for
 KW> the college life style. Brown Derby, Schaefer's, Red White and Blue,
 KW> Carling Black Label, Heidelberg, Schmidt, and others were around $3.00
 KW> a 12-pack, and there was a variety of inexpensive nationwide beers -
 KW> all a tier or two below the coors/bud/miller tier.
 KW> Most of those names were old local beers with histories that have gone
 KW> away, although most of the names are still held by larger breweries in
 KW> case they want to re-introduce them.

I remember, from the early 60's, Carling Black Label was advertised on
the radio station my mom listened to...  The jingle sticks... Calling,
carling, carling black label, Carling Black Label beer... Of course,
coming from an essentially teetotalling home, there wasn't any chance of
it being brought into our house back then...  When I got of age to
drink, I discovered that I really hated beer... so never tried it...

... Did you really expect mere proof to sway my opinion?
