Yup, back in the day Gilleys was the place.

I was in Houston when Urban Cowboy came out.

I had business trips to Houston, Baytown, Hearne, Bryan, College Station, Dallas (briefly) among others in the late 1970s and early 1980s and had a good buddy who lived in The Woodlands.

We got to visit the CW joints and sample the local beers....a lot. That was fun but I preferred to return to nice climate Ohio, too freakin hot down there.

boo-when did you live here? Was it before Shiner came out with Shiner Bock or Shiner Black Lager.?Both darker than the original Shiner beer. Like Sam Adams they have since developed a lot of specialty beers.

Shiner Bock is not the original Shiner?!?!??

The Black Lager is really good, but is only in the "Family Pack" where I am. Bock is a staple.

@boo-fagley said:

Well that explains it then. That 1 beer was like horsepiss compared to what they make now.

@boo-fagley said:

You must have Billy beer. Black Label had a cool can mostly all red

Oh yes I do, president Jimmy Carter's dip shit brother. We built our new house in 1985 the main part of my collection was prior to that. Steelers 1970s super bowl cans, specialty cans even some from Europe my collection must be worth something to some serious collectors.

Oh what does beer have to do with football here? D'UH.

Never had Blatz. Never had Iron City.

There must be a lot of Germans in NE Ohio. Coors? Yup. IIRC it was shipped cold or something. A lot of guys where Im from were Framers and would go to Colorado for the winter to work. They always brought back Coors in the can.

I lived in Texas 9 years and drank Lone Star. Long necks. Never liked Shiner or Pearl.

Magic Hat is good from Vermont. Kansas Flying Monkey was a good beer before they sold out. Its not good anymore. Missouri Boulevard Pale Ale is a damn good beer if you ever see it.

I've had Blatz, IC and IC Light in Pittsburgh and local, POC, Carling Black Label (grandpa's favorite) Lone Star, Pearl and even generic BEER from Latrobe, PA (not bad) and more.

And Coors was a big deal now everywhere. OH I HAVE A BEER CAN COLLECTION with domestic and international beers packed away for over 32 years in boxes in the cellar.

Ummmmm beer.

......hmmmmm, maybe I should put my collection for sale on ebay? Boxes of them!

And in Louisiana West (Beaumont) I didn't know there was any beer except Jax. (That's a lie but it sounds good since just about everyone drank Jax or Pearl) Of course I never had any myself since I left at age 12, so it's strictly an observation and not a testimonial.

My first beer was one called Cerveza Polar. Back then it was a damn good Pilsner, but I think it's lost it's way through all the turmoil down there (Venezuela). Shortage of excellent ingredients.

@boo-fagley said:

yeah? bullshit.

what do you know now?

not a fucking thing.

i'll throw you a grey pube that has more miles traveled, more states and countries seen, more pussy fucked, more dedication to this country and more creativity and knowledge that u'll ever know fucktard.

when u hung out in leomonminster?

I was just there in June... college bud has lived there for 30-ish years a couple stone throws from the hospital.

Found a great Vietnamese restaurant in the area.

@boo-fagley said:

let me know when you stand as tall as ur uncle did. when u hung out in leomonminster? when u went to bill and bobs? hilltop steakhouse? saw the tubes and utopia in worfuckingcester? u fake fuck.

i know alot more than you do fagley. and i've did more than u'll ever do u friggin millennial crybaby bitch.

I forgot to mention Blatz... my ex-Dad-in-law's fav.

Wasn't arguing, or even mentioning, brewery locale... merely pointing out that every "obscure" brew you listed, except the R.I. one, were once commonplace in NE Ohio. Beers simply traveled less 40+ years ago... were more regional. That and we were younger and had not traveled as much as we have now...

Remember when you couldn't get your hands on a Coors? Now do you care?

I never heard of Lone Star, Shiner or Pearl until I moved to Texas...

Never had a Jax until I first visited NOLA...

Never had an Anchor Steam until my third visit to the Bay Area...

@boo-fagley said:

Seem to be confusing obscure with semi-defunct, mid-Western beers. Every one listed except Narragarnet were all over NE Ohio during my formative years... plus Stroh's, Schaefer's, Schmidt's, P.O.C., Iron City... gotta be more I'm forgetting. Some others are still thriving... Rolling Rock, Genesee, Hudepohl...

@boo-fagley said:

go fuck yourself. here in NY that shit (6 pack bottles) is like sam adams. where u live in MA? springfield LOL.

u know the type and design co. i worked for on temple place in boston did the original design (me) and typography for them when they first came out? u know i lived in medford, revere, west roxbury and milton after leaving fort devens in ayer MA? had best friends in somerville, malden and lynn.

you know dick. i'm so above you. you float face down.

Betting on preseason games is a crap shoot because you don't know who will actually play or how long for each team. So scores are essentially meaningless and unpredictable.

Wait for the regular season before throwing away money.....

It used to be a little more of a "predictable" thing now they don't want injuries or concussions so many stars don't even dress.

There can be exceptions if you want to take a shot for example team A has all the positions pretty well set team B has a QB or other major starting battles going on, look for team B to maybe cover. Most preseason lines are fairly close like -3 or -4.

Or just bet on what color car comes down the street next.

Wait for the regular season before throwing away money.

Or do what the Aggie preacher did. When discussing how they retained money from the collection for personal use one preacher said he had a 10 f. diameter circle in his back yard where he threw all the money up in the air and anything falling outside the circle was for him and inside the circle was for God's use. The 2nd preacher with the same size circle said he kept the money inside the circle and anything falling outside was for God's work. The Aggie said he didn't have a circle. "I just throw all the money in the air and God takes what he wants and I keep the rest."

U must be from mushpit Alabama if you think Narragansett is $3. More like $16 and double that with shipping fuckface.

Belly up bitch. Don't see u laying any money down.

And I prob know more about Massachusetts than you do millennial asshole.

@mjp28 said:

Yeah and pburg without their star RB and Roethlisberger has to fall apart sometime right? Upset baby! Take the points.

Why are we going to be without bell? He said he will report before week one. He's not going to hold out. He's been franchise tagged at the very least.

@ghoolie said:

Are you wrong about everything? Vegas is all about setting lines that split the betting 50-50 so they take home the vig.

Dumbass...
