    Another BA is sending me an original can of Billy Beer from the late-70s, and I want to review it. The brewery, Falls City, is out of business. What is the best way for me to enter it to the site?

    Wow! I grew up watching my relatives drink Falls City beer in Louisville, KY - especially in the 1970s. There is now a brewery in Louisville called Falls City. It is named after the original, but it emphasizes "craft" beer. Perhaps you could add the review to that brewery. I cannot imagine how your can of beer from the 1970s could possibly taste. I look forward to your review and observations. I wonder how many people on this site know that your beer is named for President Jimmy Carter's brother who was always embarrassing the president back then.

    There was a thread a couple months ago about "worst beers" (I couldn't find it just now), and Billy Beer came up. I vaguely remember having one when my folks bought a couple sixers back when it was new, but, I'm really looking forward to trying this. I've had a couple 30+ year old beers, but 42-ish will be a new record for me.

    I grew up with a can of Billy Beer on the mantle above our basement fireplace. My dad never really had a good expiation for why he saved it. I always really wanted to drink that thing. I bet my folks still have it.

    Pretty sure the rules are clear on this - you are required to drink that (all, no drain pour now) and report back here :stuck_out_tongue::wink:

    Why don't you just review it for NBS? Everyone would love to see this. Then as soon as you figure out where to put it in the database, you could upload your review.

    Cheers, and enjoy! :beers:

    Yeah, that's the plan. There will also be, sort of, video of me consuming it. (I don't have my picture taken, but we'll film everything but my face, and post that as well)

    Maybe it's time to crack that Coors Light baseball bat I've been saving. :sunglasses:

    I have a full can of that Billy Beer and of the 4077th MASH beer. No way I'd ever drink them. Looking forward to your review as confirmation that I made the right decision.
