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
Ok, time for a forty year-old memory:
Schweggman.s beer was labeled “Krewes”.
Certainly not to meant to be confused with “Coors”.BC, I mean "Generic" beer, not private label... just said "BEER" on the white can... not sure if you remember the "generic" phase the U.S. went through during the early 80s? Canned goods that just said "Peas", "Corn", etc... they made "Beer" as well. Not sure there were bottles of "Wine" or not.
Oh yeah, Generic Beer!
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.
Speaking of the 80's.... Lowenbrau?....I remember the commercials.... never had it... will look for it next time I go to the liquor store
