my girlfriend(wife now) used to love those Little Kings and the cute bottles.....i'd try to get her to drink as many as possible....

The other weird bottle was the Mickeys Big Mouth.....skunky blech

@miktoxic said:

and who was the brewery that offered the plastic beer bombs? it was like a pony keg in a clear or green plastic ball and it came with it's own cheap tap.

Those were the beer balls I was talking about.....made nice lamp shades when empty

Lion Brand?

P. O . C................watery blech

@tour2ma said:

used to have and old gmc panel van that the windows in the back opened like flaps and some drunk asshole friend of mine threw an empty one of a window at a guy riding a 10 speed under a railroad underpass....

all i remember is looking in the rearview and seeing it hit the guy's front wheel and him going horizontal in the street as my friend screamed some obscenity at him.

Yup, Hudy Beer Balls.

@ibleedbrown said:

Hudy's come a long way actually. It was made by the Schoenling Brewing Co which got bought out by the Boston Brewing Co a few years back. So they still make Hudy, which still sucks, but they also crank out a lotta Sam Adams. They also started making a Hudy lager with a red label which is a solid beer.

Since were talking Schoenling, can't forget this other product they brewed up.

Being a BROWNS fan what can go wrong??

@tour2ma said:

ha!....thats it!....I remember the cinci beer part now that you mention it.....

Old Dutch....so bad it was undrinkable.....really hard to forget if you actually tasted it.....

@mudfly said:

Haha.....HUDY!!!

I remember it. Almost as bad as Old Dutch.

I once had a car that could be named dumpster....several actually

Wait,,,,was there a beer call Hudipoel? that came in beer balls??.....maybe thats what I remember(very vaguely)

Hudepohl... Cinci beer.. AHA Hudy. Not sure about the "beer balls", unless they were blue as well.

I'd forgotten "Old Dutch"... but I remember "Old Frothenslosh", "The Pale Stale Ale with the foam on the bottom".

When I was a teenager, I work in the kitchens in the bowels of the stadium, prepping the food for the vendors.....filling hotdog boxes, popcorn boxes and the beer racks.....

We'd put 5 rows of 5 cups in a rack, then slide them under a special tap machine that would fill 5 at a time.....slide the rack....fill 5 more,,,,etc......THEN, we'd stretch saran wrap across the top and melt it onto the cups to make lids......

The BEST part was that the melt lids didn't really work out well and there were always a few that didn't stick.....they'd lift off and then we were "supposed" to dump that beer and place a new one.....well, let me tell ya, they didn't get dumped....and we ALWAYS staggered out of there....drunk and full......

Someday, I will share the many ways we used to torment the vendors, who couldn't get at us because we were locked in the "cage", which is what we called the kitchens.....great times!

I worked at a golf course in high school doing various jobs in the clubhouse, among them stocking the beverage shelves.

We had this beer called Hudy Gold that apparently no one drank, and l guess it got old and they were tired of looking at it, so they told me to pitch it in the dumpster.

I immediately nicknamed my car "the dumpster" and did what l was told.

@tour2ma said:

Are you serious???......cause, believe me, we came into work with plans......hahaha

Of course, we had "special" vendors that really got the treatment, while the ones we liked got good product....

I will say, working there ruined my ability to ever enjoy the hotdogs at a game again......

I knew it! "YOU BASTARDS!"

I worked as a vendor... never sold beer, but made some good coin slinging dogs.

Have a couple good stories from the other side of the cage for a slow day here, someday...

My main point to all of this is that if you buy the $9 craft beers, those would be hard to water down and people not take notice.

Depends on how many have preceded the watered down one(s)...

@walterwhite said:

4 bucks for a Miller Lite? Damn and I thought everything was more expensive in Boston....

That's just the retail price-they get it wholesale which is even a more serious markdown from retail. Plus whatever they get off for selling a particular label in the stadium.

Correct- Ag. When you walk up to the concession stand and order a draft, the profit margin is at least 90% if not higher. Latest scam is to have some Charitable Organizations to VOLUNTEER- FOR FREE- to sell beer for probably a couple hundred bucks "donation". Damn- the Browns even get a tax write off for free labor. Well, I just did some math. My mega booze store https://www.thepartysource.com/ will sell you a keg of Bud for $110. Trust me, the Browns are buying it by the truckload for most likely 1\2 that. There's 124- 16 ounce pours in a keg. $9 X 124 = $1116. Not only that, you can bet the Ranch Anheuser-Busch is paying the NFL, if not the Browns- a ton of money just to be able to sell their beer at games- exclusively. Come to think of it, didn't see any Miller for sale last week. Add in pretzels that probably cost 0.50 cents max for $4 you can bet old Uncle Jimmy is hauling in at least a million or so per game on booze and concessions.

Seahawks. What a slap in the face to their fans.....if true.

@letsgojackets said:

Perhaps. For the record I think the $9 beers are for the craft beers. You can get the Bud Light/Buds for $8. And it used to be the aisle vendors were cheaper than going to the stands, like $7.50.
