Still have a lot of those mugs.
Unfortunately I feel like it was Leinenkugel's like 40% of the time. And Leine's is not good.

"I can't tell you. Secret."
Once got an 18 pack of Red Dog for 39 cents at the Colonial Pantry. The days when the cashier had to type things in by hand were great.
On the other hand, I still think we overpaid.

I remember a lot of cheap German beer regardless, free glassware & cheap refills for a college kid was irresistible.
A friend lived in a gabes place apartment and had so many mugs the cabinet fell off the wall.
Old Style or if we were feeling flush, Special Export aka The Green Death

We'd say we were going to drink until we pissed sky blue water.
I still recall paying $3.88 a case for Pabst returnables in Urbana in 1975 (but I was in HS so we just ate the extra $1.20/case deposit).
For me, in my youthful drinking days... it was Schlitz, Schaeffer, Meister Brau or Old Milwaukee 12 packs, whichever was on sale at the time of purchase! While attending school in the USN I had a cooler in my barracks room stocked with beer, bread, lunchmeat, mayo, and sliced cheese...... The good ol' healthy days of my existence. The Craft Beer explosion in the early 2k's continues to put quite the dent in my pocketbook, not to mention the Bourbon.....
I'd also like to know how the young Frenchman's visit went?

Schaeffer! That’s the other one I was trying to remember. I think they even had a Light version.
I enjoy reading these recollections very much. I am not able to dredge up any such myself, which is disconcerting, but I suppose this could reflect the fact that I MAY (where's my lawyer?) have had too much fun during my four sweet years at the University of Illinois.
Oh oh! From atop the staircase, my better half has feedback for me! I ought to reply, and here is my (feeble) attempt:
"What's that, hon? You remember that I never had a good memory? You worked your firm r**r off (I'd say there is a lot of truth to her self-description, but I daren't admit this even under threat of torture) tutoring me for exams in Phys 386? P-Chem lab? Organic chem?"
"Yes," says the girlfriend from another era, in another place, in the lanes south of Green Street (... name that tune, Van Morrison fans ...). And the wife ever since.
"You're prolly right, Mrs. Didn't you ... Bronze Tablet? How come you never got a B, I was able to earn quite a few, myself! You and that Magna Cum something."
"If you're suggesting that I was a slut, I might not ..."
"No! I am not suggesting any such thing. Remember, you dragged me from the library to Orange Krush, not the other way around. And too: the Illini won tonight!"
*kiss*
Someone should pull the blinds. This is a family-friendly site!

Stag longneck returnable. Took 3.years for the aftertaste to clear.
Aaaand back to basketball recruiting... not puking. Don't care about your infantile behavior while a student. Never had a beer on or off campus... and lived to tell about it!
