A burger place we like has an $11 deal, burger and a beer.  The burgers are quite good, it's called Fram Burger.  The beer is in the "OK" range I guess, it's not my favorite.  Added fries for $3.50, or rings.

A: Narragansett Beer in Atlanta.

Q: What's an odd geographic combination of liquid and location, Alex?

It's the only place I know of that serves it.  I have some vague memory of it somewhere.  Anyway, burger and a beer for $11 works for us, the burgers are good.

I see PBR next door on special for $3 at times, but a beer usually runs $6-10 at a bar here.

I went to the OU@K-State game in 1977. In Aggieville, adjacent to the campus, you could by PBR for 75 cents a pitcher.

Speaking of K-State, the old, old board had some great purple-kitten posters. I wonder why they dropped off.

There was a large bar in Athens (since closed) called the B&L Warehouse, they had two stages on each end and two bars along the sidelines.  Ona band would play while another set up.  On Tuesday's they had quarter beer night.  It probably was Red, White, and Blue or Ol' Mil.  But it was beer.  Circa 1974.

Holy cow, I'm old.  I was in college 1972-1980.  I got my first job in 1980.

We found a bar near work ca. 1982 that had one dollar large Samuel Adams on HH Fridays.  We went there a lot.

They had some rule about serving food, so they had a microwave and frozen sliders.

Shoot in the early 90s there were bars in Austin that had $1 pint nights and it included a lot of really excellent import beers.  Franziskaner, Spaten, Whitbread, Guinness, Bass, Harp, Young's, Sam Smith.  So many awesome and distinct Euro imports.  It was awesome.

Now the same bars have about 50 different American IPAs that all taste the same and all taste like shite, and maybe one or two interesting beers.   It's sad.  I rarely get excited to go to a "beer bar" anymore because they're all the same, maybe one or two taps that actually interest me.

I agree, there is one near us that has "100 taps", I only need maybe 12.  Some of them are apple cider stuff.  The name of it is "Taco Mac" and their tacos are not very good nor is their mac.

I think you need a 12" oiled beard and some Carhartt shirts to enjoy those properly. How's your vinyl collection?

Vinyl collection is pretty rocking, actually. I had a decent one myself from the 80s, and as the General Manager at KOKE-FM, my dad collected over a thousand.  I've cataloged about half of it, some awesome stuff.  And also a lot of 70s junk, too. :)

I actually do own one Carhartt coat, I use it for winter camping, it's awesome.  I had no idea that the hipsters had coopted that brand, though.
