What is your favorite premium malt beverage?

Do you think this is a stupid question?

1. No, I'm drinking 211 right now....the strongest stuff out there.

Big fan of cheap malt liquor right here.

I just bought a 12 pack of 211 for five bucks and change....that's like having 24 or 36 regular beers, depending on what brand we're talking about.

Hey, I'm married with two kids in a bush economy...I've got to save money where I can.

2. Haffeneffer's Private Stock!

The one beer to have when you can't AFFORD more than one!

3. king cobra..

just a buck for a trey-duece back when I used to enjoy them.

4. I used to buy a 32 oz of King Cobra for 69 cents at a Ghetti (sp?) in...

Dumfries, VA in 1995.

...damn you're bringing back some memories of some good times.

5. good times..

I was just reminiscing myself. When I would walk down to the corner market for a Cobretti, there was a friendly little dalmatian puppy at the house across the street that would run up to the fence so I could pet him. I used to call him "King".

6. In 1994...

At the 7 day store on Quantico (it's a Marine Corps base), there was like a 2-3 month period where you could buy 32oz Mickey's for less than 50 cents...I think it was 33 cents. No tax at military stores, either.

Me and my buddy took like $50 dollars worth of them back to the barracks and had a huge party...took all their stock.

Those were some damn good times.

7. were they the mickey's grenades?

remember before the screw-top, when they had the pull-top on the bigmouths? Nothing better than sloshing the top of your Mickeys all over your hand or shirt! Man those bigmouths sure went down fast though!!

[TroubleMan]

8. Same as big mouths (screw tops), but in 32 oz bottles

And even in larger quantities, they went down fast.

I'm probably too young for the pull tops (born in '72). I don't remember those.

9. i think they were around as late as the mid-eighties..

when I was first introduced. It was almost impossible to pull the top off completely or without spilling a bunch of it.. especially after 3 or 4!

I'll never forget when I was about 16, myself and three friends were "fishing" for a case of Mickeys. We managed to get some guy to buy it, and just as we were making the hand-off, the cops rolled into the parking lot. We managed to stash the case under a car, and went across the street to wait for the cops to split. Well, somehow they found the case, and must have realized what had happened, as this particular store was usually the place to score. We watched in abject horror as those a-holes poured every one of those beers out right there in the lot. That beer stain remained there for the entire summer.
