So, it comes to this:
MILWAUKEE–Cash-strapped drinkers are starting to trade down to economy beers, the chief executive of Miller Brewing Co. said Thursday.
The Milwaukee-based brewer saw some shift between higher-priced, premium beers and economy beers such as Miller High Life and Milwaukee’s Best starting in January, Tom Long told reporters on a conference call.
I get it, to a degree. Our grocery bill grows exponentially every week, almost to the point I’m ready to actually establish a weekly budget for it…but Milwaukee’s Best? GAK!

Yup, time to go all Papaw and load up on Old Milwaukee Light.
OMG...it's come to Milwaukee's Best and PBR has it? It IS a recession
Remember the "Generic Beer" in plain white cans? Wasn't that awful swill produced to help hop-heads through the double-digit inflation that plagued us toward the end of the Jimmy Carter years?
Yes - remember it well as it graced the table in front of my dad on many, many occasions! Well, at least he didn't drink Billy Beer!!!
I'm with you Merri ~ GAK!!!! That's the stuff we bought in college after spending the afternoon at the plasma donation center. We'd get just enough for a case and go back to the apartment and nurse our sore arms with some Swill!
I canna do no more Buckhorn!
