Re: Dixie Beer heading home -
Lowenbrau is an old brand. Kohl's used to have it on tap & O'Henry's had it for a spell in the late 80's early 90's. Nothing wrong with it then.

Lowenbrau tasted like swamp water... like someone took Miller High Life and left it in the sun for a week then chilled it back.windywave wrote:Speaking of the 80's....

Canned goods that just said "Peas", "Corn", etc... they made "Beer" as well. Not sure there were bottles of "Wine" or not.BC Wave wrote:Ok, time for a forty year-old memory:Johnny Mac wrote:Dixie is awful.. hated it in college... probably would still hate it now unless they improved the recipe. It always tasted too sweet. When they had Generic Beer at the Schwegmann's and Canal Villiere, I preferred it to Dixie
Schweggman.s beer was labeled “Krewes”. Certainly not to meant to be confused with “Coors”.
I remember the “generic” era and I have a distinct memory of Generic Beer — at Mardi Gras in 1982, two friends of mine had plowed through their selection of Bud and Lowenbrau when they discovered all that was left in their ice chest was a six packo Generic Beer.
One friend grabs a can and pops the top, then proclaims, “Generic Beer from Time Saver
. Tastes shxtty, but it’s cheap”
Other friend: “Tastes shxtty!”
Friend: “It’s cheap!”
This, of course, was a play on the long-runningLite Beer from Miller commercials.
