Falstaff??? You're better than that,guy I used to work with was a 'Nam vet.He got so pissed when leaving to come back home after his tour think he said the Red Cross provided beer. It was left on the tarmac at an airfield base outside of Cam Rhan Bay in excess of 100° for over a Day.He said you could get the Reds to talk by threatening them with it and that's when it was cold

THIS DAY IN HISTORY: 
Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring Sparks a Riot (1913)
The Rite of Spring is a landmark ballet by Russian composer Igor Stravinsky that provoked a riot when it premiered at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées in Paris. Expecting the demure conventions of classical ballet, the audience was caught off-guard by Stravinsky's dissonant score and Vaslav Nijinsky's violently untraditional choreography depicting fertility rites. Fistfights broke out between detractors and supporters, and chaos ensued.

Lone Star and Pearl in Texas.  Or Buckhorn if you were super cheap, but that was before my time.

They all taste like fizzy yellow macrocrap.

You might as well buy the cheapest per ABV% you can find.  Usually, that was Mickey's.
