Here is a photo that I believe was taken at the University of Iowa, possibly during freshman year. The beer cans didn't look familiar. Upon close analysis of the photo, I determined that we were drinking Red, White and Blue. A quick Google search turned up the following review of this beer, which pretty much says it all:
"This stuff brings back the carefree college days when we'd scrounge for beer money in seat cushions and dirty clothes pockets.
This was the beer we'd buy when we didn't even have enough money for Milwaukee's Best.
It's basically fermented rice and corn (maybe just plain old sugar too) and a ton of co2. If there is any barley or hops it's not enough to matter. The key is to get it really cold and drink it really fast--- at least until you're drunk enough to be insensate.
One characteristic? Pale-- think diluted urine, fizzy, no body, tastes faintly like corn with metallic aftertaste. Light bodied to the extreme like carbonated water with 4% alcohol.
Drinkability? Yeah right, this stuff is for getting drunk when you have no money."
Don't worry, Deb. We still don't GET Tom.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of Joel, tho....
ReplyDeleteWHERE THE HELL ARE YOU???
Did the streets of Bakersfield gobble you up??
I still don't know what "fissures" means.
ReplyDeleteDeb,
ReplyDeleteNotice how Tom and Steve are the only ones proudly displaying their cans of beer?
You should have seen Joel at the reunion when he won that award. He turned a hundred shades of red, got all embarrassed and shit. He was so cute.
He is just a honey, inside and out - just like Kathy. Love them both.
I don't know, Tom...looks more like you're offering beer to a minor or something!! and clean-cut Joel had the good sense to turn his back on you!! Shame on you!!
