Just realized I am paying to much for BEER!

-
Genessee cream ale is another one that I havent seen in years...memories:) I think they are out of NY.
 
A co-worker/fellow apprentice had kin in Texas. He would go visit couple times per year. He would load up the El Camino with Olympia and would return with a like amount of Lone Star :D. There was a beer stand at the Mid State Fair nearby that featured Lone Star. That was one or two highlights of the summer going to the fair :lol:kinda depended on who was on the concert stage that determined how much Lone Star I got :rofl:
 
I used to take my dad with me to lowes when I needed to make a big purchase. He got senior and military discount. Bought a scratch and dent refrigerator once and it ended up being less than half price. It had a small scratch on the side.
 
Vacationed in Ireland in 2019 and their pubs are outstanding. Did the Guinness tour and taste, and it was good. But the beer that I liked best was a Smithwick Red Ale. Spent some fun nites listening to Irish folk songs and enjoying good beers.
 
As you get older and drink more beer, odds increase on wetting your pants when you can't make it to the bathroom in time....

As a veteran I’ve asked for discounts frequently especially if they advertise it. The service ID card , which you only get to keep if you retired at 20 or more years is mostly the one they accept. I couldn’t figure out why this area has many places advertising for veterans discount. The Villages which is a huge sr retirement community near me ,it is largely retired vets. It pisses me off that guys who retire vs those of us who didn’t technically retire ,
But served anyway, would get discounts. WTF

Don’t forget the guys/gals that didn’t get to serve for 20 but had their career cut short and are still alive. Disabled Veterans have their Military ID and a VA ID.

Got a haircut today and went to the liquor store for beer.

New guy carded me and then said, you are a senior, put the code in and $2.60 off my 15 pack of wide mouth Coors Light.

I wanted to say you owe me 1k for all the beer I have bought here since turning 55!

I never ask or push, but 2.60 off 18 is pretty good!

Do you ever ask for a senior discount?

Hell you've seen me, I don't have to ask for a senior discount. Hell I usually get the DAMN, you look 100, I'm gonna give you the DOA discount!

Same here, I walked out of a Ford dealership when we were buying my wife's Ford Edge. Salesman told me I get an extra 1000.00 off for being a Fireman. Than when They found out I was retired after 33 years, they denied the discount, after they offered it to me! Walked out and bought one from another dealership.

Do what my wife an I did and find a low mileage Diesel pusher in the 2005-2008 range. They went downhill after the 2008 economy bust.

We got 41 Ft. of 400HP Cummins and 4 slides with less than 30k on the odometer for less than 85K.

I totally agree on the Smithwick Red Ale. I also like Blue Moon with a slice of orange in it.

I had forgotten all about Smithwick Red Ale. My brother turned me on to it years ago when he lived in Columbia SC. Great stuff. Now I want to get some!!

Awe man, I had planned to do exactly that back around 2001. Life got in the way and it never happened. I decided to build another hot rod instead.

I am on a craft brew kick. It isn't uncommon for me to pay $5-7 a pint at a pub, or $21.00 a twelve pack.:)
Click to expand...

$5-7 is normal for me.
Just last week i paid $21.99 for a 4 pack. Masthead Brewing Galactic Federation.
Most my buddy and I paid so far for a single beer is $24. We shared it.
He has 1-1/2 large refrigerators full of beer.
Highest ABV I've had so far is 18%, kinda chewy. But occifer, I only had one.
He waits in line for can releases at least once a month.
He goes on vacation and sends me pictures of the beer he's drinking or the fish he caught. No scenery, just beer.
He just visited Oregon and brought beer back in his suitcase.
I've seen him walk out carrying over $300 worth of beer. Actually he pulled his car up to the front door and they loaded it for him.
We've driven out of state to visit a single brewpub.
We're on a first name basis with several brewmasters.
Bud Light and Miller Lite may be good enough to wash parts but if that's the only choice, I'll drink water.

But I don't consider myself a beer drinker.

$21.99 4 pack? I’ll stick to Miller Lite. It all turns into piss but I’ll go home with a fat wallet.
