I have never seen Old Milwakee in a bottle.

In the mid-eighties we had a beer strike and provincial legislation is pretty tight when it comes to bringing beer into the province. The only beer we could get was Old Milwaukee in cans. When the strike was over and we could get real beer again the Old Milwaukee was sold off cheaper than coke. It may contribute to my dislike of cans.

I prefer it in a glass from a 15 Gallon can....failing that, I'll take a glass bottle

Miller has those now in Wrigleyville (Northside Chicago around Wrigley Field) bars, with the Cubs logo on them.

Anyone ever seen the Bud Light bowling pin bottle? One place here, that I use to work at, only sells BL in those.

I'm not fussy as long as it's cold.

Actually its kinda cool. The distributor left the wrong cases on mistake once. After that that's all he carried, even though it wasn't a bowling alley. I believe they are 16oz, I never drank them. The nights I went there to drink they had 20oz schooners of PBR or $2 bottles of Rolling Rock. Working I usually poured my self a short glass of Guinness (or Murphy's, don't remember what they had) and did shots of Basil Hayden.

PBR....(shudders)

In Chicago, PBR is part of daily food serving pyramid. If the first 2-3 are cold enough, the rest go down just fine.

My grandfather use to work at the Pabst brewery in Peoria, long long time ago. My ex-stepfather's father bought the closed plant a few years ago and sold a corner of the property to Walgreens, then developed the rest.
