$5.99 cases of Miller High Life fueled my college fun. It's still my dollar beer of choice at hockey games.

I had a roommate in college whose dad used to travel for work and when he would come back through Columbia he would stop and drop off the beers he ran across. Back in the 80's there were still a lot of the small breweries cranking out watery lager beer, and he was a cheap beer savant. He dropped off some of the most awful swill ever labeled as "beer" from all over the country, but we learned to shake in fear for our taste buds when he was coming back from Wisco. There was some gawdaful swill being brewed up there. The all-time worst beer I've ever tasted is still a beer called Wisconsin Club that he dropped off one day. If there is a God, it will have been discontinued by now.
I forgot about Buckhorn.CMU back in the day, we used to get something called Buckhorn beer...$2 for a 12 pack, late 70s, early 80s.

True story: I was a TKE at Northeast Missouri State. As part of the initiation we would kidnap pledges while they were walking home from class and drive them 50 miles away to Iowa and drop them. We picked cold nights and took their coats, but we always dropped them in pairs so people wouldn't be solo. The fraternity house had the old radiator heaters. and we would take 6ers of Buckhorn and leave them on top of the radiators until they were really hot. When we dropped the pledges off and took their coats, we gave them the hot 6er of Buckhorn. :|I forgot about Buckhorn.

Of course it was a joke because you would drive down the road and leave them just long enough to freak out, then go back and get them. There was an alumni that lived up there and they took you to his house for shots before they took you back to Kirksville.
The tradition ended when two pledges managed to get free, steal the car and leave a couple of my fraternity brothers on the side of the road in Iowa holding a 6er of hot Buckhorn. :\

Looks like Tom must be doing pretty well now, I see he's signed up for a tournament this weekend.

When I was in college we had a lost drunken weekend in Minneapolis/St. Paul that started at the Schmidt Brewery and ended at the Metrodome siting in the CF cheapies on Kirby Bear day in a section of almost entirely kids screeching KIIIRRRBBBYYY! every time Kirby Puckett ran out to center field while one of the worst hangovers of my life pounded in my head. One of many highlights was the Uey well did on the Hennepin Bridge when we saw the Grain Belt sign light up in the rear view mirror.And this is why I wasn't in a fraternity.
If you were in Northeast Missouri and driving to Iowa, you were really dropping people off in the middle of nowhere. That region of Iowa South of Ottumwa and West of Keokuk is true nowhere. Source: I'm from NW Iowa and have family in Keokuk. Not a lot happening in NW Iowa either, but my God some of SE Iowa is incredibly empty.
Back to cheap beer: Miller High Life got me through grad school. Not the absolute cheapest, but not the bottom of the barrel in terms of drinkability either. High Life lived at the intersection between how low I'd go on taste and how high I could go on cost.
If I'm ever in Minnesota I'm sure to grab some Grain Belt. That stuff rules and is super cheap. I hear it was very bad in the 70's and 80's, but it's good stuff now! Not sure what changed or when. I wish Grain Belt had was more accessible outside of MN.

this thread is a perfect foreshadowing of why HBH Wisconsin is where it is today :doh:
When the student becomes the master. Also LOL @ frats.The tradition ended when two pledges managed to get free, steal the car and leave a couple of my fraternity brothers on the side of the road in Iowa holding a 6er of hot Buckhorn. :\
All this bad beer talk is making me thirsty. Have any of you connoisseurs tried Kul? Jaguar? La Crosse Lager? Classic? La Crosse Wisco made some of the worst of the worst, made Beast seem like something special that could only come out when guests were present. All hold a special place in my heart... or liver. Kul was amazing garbage but a case (24 bottles) was $2.99 in 2004, jaguar may have been cheaper if it was sold in cases.
