A Word From Our Alternate Universe Sponsor

Lofty balsams



I actually picked up a 6 of Hamm's at the package store this afternoon because they only had a "five pack" of Schlitz (which Leo Durocher used to call "Slits Beer"). I had no idea they still "brewed" this stuff any more. Will report back as to it's purportedly "crisp, clean cut to the taste." Thank you for your attention to this matter.

  1. how do you go about comparing the current taste of Hamms with the way it tasted when you were 6 yrs old? Were you draining those 2 cent bottles you found along the highway?

  2. AS: not quite as good as Izaak Walton pier beer but better than the roadside empties by an order of magnitude. We tried Slits a few weeks ago and it came very close, though---Beer-D said it tasted just like the beer we used to give him when he was a baby. We will be trying Blatz pretty soon, which I think costs under $6 for a 12.
