With the holiday coming up, I stumbled upon this cheap beer taste test. What amazed me is that you can still get a 6-pack of Schaefer for under $4.00. I used to get a 12-pack in college for $3.18. So, the price actually hasn't gone up that much, relatively speaking. It's disturbing though that someone described its current taste as "Yuck."

We also used to get Schaefer Pounders, too. Longnecks. For all the cheap beer available back then, we somehow glommed onto this one. Partially because of the slogan, "The beer to have when you're having more than one.". We also liked Hamm's because of the Hamm's Bear. He used to host the Hamm's Bear Hotline on the commercials. And, of course, coming "From the land of sky-blue waters..." didn't hurt either.
