I found this article today and had to share it. It's funny to the last sentence. Can this be accredited to the Ryans??? Grain Belt, here I come!

That article brings back memories of the 60s.....

We drank PBR, had long hair, had ND's great "Zip to Zap" and rebelled at every turn. We were called hippies!

I guess it's just a "traditional" thing.

To quote Kramer, "She said I'm a hipster doofus, am I a hipster doofus?"

I found a new favorite from Indiana. "Sheet Metal Blonde" Can't imagine why I bought it, but it tastes good too!

"Sheet Metal Blonde" sounds good... like a blonde pinup on the nose of a B-29...

I've been drinking Grain Belt Premium for the last number of years. I still remember the first time I had it at Whitey's in Grand Forks. No one in Chicago has a clue what it is and you can't get it there. They are all missing out. So I stock up whenever I come back to Minnesota. You should see the fridge in the basement!! Funny article...
