    I can honestly say I never saw my grandfather drink a beer. He drank bourbon and water and mixed it up once in a while with a vodka and tonic. He did however always keep beer in the fridge for my dad and me.

    Not sure what they enjoyed when they were younger, but I always used to see my dad's father drink Meisterbrau and my mothers father drink Heineken.

    Was raised down in Texas, so the old man liked PBR & Lone Star, when he wasn't sipping on that 'shine in the mason jar :slight_smile:

    I'm drinking a good ol' Miller High Life in honor of my Pap Pap, who would be 115 years old today. Cheers!

    My grandfather knew the AB distributer - he drank cold bud at a reasonable price. :slight_smile:

    My grandfathers didn't drink.
    One was forcefed moonshine at the age of four by his charming step-uncles and never touched a drop again, though he had no problem with others drinking.
    The other was a puritanical bigot who grew up in a dry county and thought everywhere else should be like that.

    Awesome Thread. My granddad is the man! When I was little he always drank Black label pounders. Then I remember him drinking milwaukees best and now he's milwaukees best light. He's 87 years old and still can out drink most people I know.

    My grandfathers passed away before I got to know them. My great-grandfather was an awesome guy, a chef that came over from Germany before WW II he came to enjoy some of Americas finer things including the Dukes of Hazard. (Especially Daisy) I apparently learned to walk by chasing him for a sip of his Becks. Still have this random tray from the drinking area in his cellar.
