"They partook in the merriness of the flowing ales. Thus it was spoken - Let us partake in the beers of old."

I know. I know. I just made that up. Sounds biblical in a certain way, though. I think it's cool to speak like that. Maybe it just sounds better when I write it? Who the hell knows. What matters is why I wrote it. My uncle has rarely visited over the years. As one of the few people in existence that I permit to indulge in my massive collection of beer, I obviously enjoy his presence. When he and my father get together, the hilarity of their adventures from the younger years always ensue.

While sampling he blurted out something that sounded dumb at first given our interest in craft, but upon thinking about it a second time. He proposed that we take a night at some point in the future and try some of the cheap beer that's still around from their college years.

He rattled off some names - National Bohemian, Lionshead and Old German were all mentioned. I had heard of Lionshead before as I've had it some number of years ago. I wasn't sure as to the existence of the other two, but was shocked to come across the actual websites. I've never seen either in any distributor. Anyways, you get the picture. None of these are something that most of us would actually enjoy drinking. I think that's just enough incentive to actually give this idea a whirl. Maybe do some cross comparisons to some actually decent pilsners?

I don't think I need cases of each of those, though which could make this project a much harder one to achieve.

At least I have tons of pretty glassware to put them in.
