My editor tells me that I have
a "relatively free rein" in writ-
ing this column. What does he i
mean by "relatively?" I asked
him if I could reflect on my ex-
periences with the opposite sex.
He said, "Go ahead," but I
changed my mind - some of
these people might still be liv-
ing.
So instead I've decided to do
the community a service and
judge the relative merits of the
most commonly consumedf
beers.
You must realize, of course,
that for any beer you drink,
there's always some exclusive
foreign import hidden away on
the shelves of obscure import
shops somewhere that absolute-
ly puts your favorite brew to
shame.
We'll overlook these beers and
concentrate instead on products
that fall within a college stu-
dent's price range.
For my money (and likewise
for yours), you can't beat
Stroh's. Perhaps I am preju-
diced in saying this - my de-
tractors will call me a candy-
. beer drinker for sure -
but Detroit's own is the lightest,
most refreshing cold beverage
you can drink. And it packs a
wallop besides.
There are, however, those{
who subscribe to the Budweiser
school of drinking. Under this
heading falls Bud, Schlitz,
Pabst, and perhaps a few oth-
er 'populars' - beers that have
a more distinct taste.
In my mind, these beers fall
far short of Stroh's tradition of I
excellence, not because they're
insincere in their efforts, but be-:!
cause they fail to meet the ele-
mentary prerequisites I've set
for my beers.
Bitterness and a distinct after-
aste are normally the signs of
really cheap brew, yet even
udweiser afficionados will at-
ribute these traits to their fa-
'orite. It just doesn't happen
ith Stroh's.
But while on the subject of
cheap beers, Old Milwaukee re-
mains the steal for its usual sub-
buck and a half price. Schaefer,
too, is good in a pinch, but other
than these, you might as well
forget it.
Therefore, as years of person-
I experimentation will testify,
ne can unhesitantly classify the
never let me down.
Finally, for those whose only
intent is to get down-home
schnockered, I understand that
Miller High Life hasathe highest
alcoholic content of all commer-
cial beers. Hence the name.
