Yeah, but I much preferred the ORIGINAL KGAB when it was brewed in Dunkirk by KOCH"S. Around 1984. Clear bottles (believe it or not) with gold foil. Excellent beer, dirt cheap! [8)]

I don't want to start a whole thread about the original Fred Koch Brewery, but I copied this from a Wiki, "In 1983, the book "Gourmet Guide to Beer" ranked Koch's Golden Anniversary Beer number one among 140 American-brewed pale lagers." My hypothesis: Koch's GAB may have been adjunct-free...Water, Malt, Hops, and Yeast only. That could explain its clean and smooth, with better bitter than any BMCP, flavor. [^]
I've been surfing and discovered that THIS ^ GAB is also no longer available. I'm looking for photos of the clear bottles with gold foil, ci. mid-80's. As the brewery was in its final days (unbeknownst to me) they were using 16 oz brown bottles, but I noticed a big drop in quality during that time. [:(] Photos show many cans of Koch brews...I never saw a single can irl, ever. I MIGHT have tried their porter in bottles, but I may have 'em mixed up with Genny 12 Horse Ale. Been a long time. [8)]

[?] I'm curious, but on my monitor I can only read Herman Josephs 1868. The rest is too dark. This is no generic beer, surely ?!? [:D]

I remember my dad opening one of these in the mid 90's that had been sitting in my Grandpa's shed for about 10 years. It had a lot of sediment and was lifeless. [img]http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/QXEAAOSwYHxWIxsA/s-l500.jpg[/img]
It's a Special Premium Beer from Coors! But it's no generic!

How about the ultimate generic beer from the 1980's? Do you remember the movie "[url="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087995/"]Repo Man[/url]?" [img]http://www.repomanfilm.com/repobeerscript.jpg[/img] _rob_
