College beers: When, where & what?

U.S. Air Force 1981 Bergstrom AFB, Austin, TX - Miller, Shiner, for everyday consumption. Milwaukee's Best for playing quarters. Michelob and Heineken when we were going for the 'good stuff'.

 

only Mr. Lahey calls me that

 

Hanover College, mid 2000s. For me, the regular drinking options were Guinness, Newcastle or Stella - those were always in my fridge on party nights in the fraternity house. For almost everyone else in the house, the weapon of choice was a rack of Busch Light or Natty Light. Compared to that, I was drinking like a king.

Now, when I was just having one or two beers by myself or with the two or three other fraternity brothers who liked drinking better than BMC stuff, then I would break out nicer bottle of whatever I brought from the bottle shops back at home when I visited during school holidays.

 

In the early 80's at Penn State I was drinking Genny Cream Ale, and then moved to Moosehead. I'd never drink the lite beers, and I sure wish we had the current micro brews available back then. Canadian beer was the best we got at that time.

 

Am I allowed to miss this beer (the way they used t brew it)?

 

I used to dome Bigfoot's from the bottle back in the day. 1996-2000 at USF (University of San Francisco), so they came in 6ers. Also was partial to SNPA and when I was low on funds, Rolling Rock.
I had a door knocked that was a string with all my different bottle caps strung through it.

 

Graduated from Kutztown University (In Pennsylvania) in 2013. I was all about Lionshead, PBR, and Rolling Rock. Yuengling was really popular there, as it is everywhere in PA. Not really a big fan though.

 

Early to mid 2000s
South east minnesota
Goes with out saying Mich golden draft light, enough miller lite to turn a battle ship around
And to party Simpson Style - Busch light and Jim beam

 

1980-84 The U of Arizona. Old mil for mass cheapness. Lots of Henry's Winehard and when going fancy lowenbrau

 

Still in college. Most of my beer drinking is cheap craft. Boulevard Sierra Nevada and Sam Adams beers are mainstays in my beer fridge and have been since my freshman year.

 

Philly 'burbs '05-'09. Mostly sh*tty keg beer, but also Yuengling, Lionshead, and the occasional SNPA or something from Victory.

 

University of Northern Iowa mid 2000s. A lot/most drank Michelob Golden Draft or anything A-B, I stuck to Miller and Modelo, specifically Negra Modelo, for macros and SA Black Lager and SNPA for craft.

 

I went to SU in the late 90's. Not much was different.

 

Western Michigan University in the mid-late 90s. Started off with Labatt, Molson, and Mickey's. Luckily, Bell's was readily available throughout K-zoo, and I became a quick convert after my first Oberon at a high class kegger (my buddies got it on the cheap around Halloween). They still made 22s at that point, and my go-to was the Amber Ale when I had some extra cash.

Study abroad in Germany solidified a love of Hefeweizens, dunkels, and well crafted pilsners.

 

University of South Florida 03-08
Drank coors light, bud, bud light, and miller lite (you know, the usual shit), with some yuengling when you wanted to "class" it up. I remember playing landmines a lot but exclusively with Bud Select for some reason.

 

Umass. Early/mid 80s. Matts beer balls. Bass ale on tap. 12 packs of Ballantine ale for $4. Haffenreffer green monsters. Lots of becks and st Pauli girl. And at the very end ..... A light in the tunnel -- the Northampton Brewery.....

 

Went to college from 2000 -2002 Des Moines Area Community College. Drank a lot of Hamms. Busch Light. Smirnoff ICE. Michelob.

 

Northeast school, late 80s. Mainly kegs of Mils Beast, Bud and occasional Molson. Sam Adams bottles when we splurged.
