King Kwik, a local convenience store, had their own brand of cheap beer in the Cincinnati area back in the mid to late 70’s. It was called Double K. Dad bought us a six pack (for the cans.) While Dad wasn’t what I’d call a big beer drinker, I don’t remember him being actively repulsed by anything until Double K. The look on his face suggested a man having a colonoscopy.[:o)]
Cost Cutter Beer was a Kroger brand around here. Someone brought it to the 21st birthday party for one of my friends, which was held at our house. Fifteen or so years later I was cutting mom & dad’s grass and stumbled onto a cache of bottles and cans deep in the woods in their back yard. This had been the party toilet in the old days and obviously several of my friends had toted a new beer out with them while they drained off the old. Mickey’s Malt Liquor and the aforementioned Wiedemann pony bottles were all in attendance, but the Cost Cutter Beer was what really caught my eye. I wound up keeping the can. (It’s historic.[8D])
