beer memoirs

my dad used to drive into ohio to get 6% beer becuase wv had 3.2%
he would load up a truck full and drop some of it off to his friends.
just dawned on me he was same as bootlegging.he did make his own too.
he made the best blackberry wine.
'his dad was a moonshiner from logan county"
think about it
cheepest place for beer i reckon would be germany ?
was there in 84
exchange rate was 2.9,($100 usd =290 DM)
and pint of beer cost 35 phennings(not sure how thats spelled )
like pennies for a huge stine of beer
5 marks would buy the bar a round,i was well liked (i will brag)
didnt mind spending a few bucks for a room full of cheer
and the housebreu 's was even cheeper sometimes and POTENT like a wine
if you ever had a big glass boot of beer ya wont forget it
i thought this was strange too,they served wine and coke ?tried it
wonders what a beer there cost now? anyone in germany or been there lately

in the bars here its like $1.25 a beer to $5 certian clubs or was it been a while since i been to any

peace
