Funny how we all have our favorites.. yeah, the micro-brewery craze,fad,movement in this country has been great.Back in the 50's when I first hit drinking age, they used to sell beer at gas stations... a six pack for a buck. Beats twenty minutes of long distance calling. Gas station beer was the lowest form of beverage known to mankind,and the lousiest of the gas station beers in my mind was Carling's Black Label... now graciously defunct, as far as I know. In 1961, I spent a summer 800 miles North of Alaska doing research for Columbia University on an iceberg. Through government incompetence, each man on the Ice Island was given two cases of beer. Theoretically to use to take water samples.) The prized beer of all beers? Yep. Carling's Black Label. And nary a gas station in sight.
