I dont actually put fruit in them if I drink at home Local restaurants run specials on blue moon or budweiser. Something in the budweiser recipe doesnt agree with me. So I stick with the blue moon. At a restaurant I'll take the orange in the blue moon. I remember the pickled eggs, and beef jerky in a jar not allowed now do to the new health codes.Corona or Blue Moon - interesting combination. I was on a Blue Moon kick for a while, too. Never cared for Corona since it became popular 30 years ago.
I used to get $3.50 for Corona at a bar/restaurant I worked at '85-'87 or so. Slice of lime, and folks couldn't throw their money quick enough. Was selling Budweiser for $1.75..... Was a local working guys place days and weeknights, with college students on weekend nights. Bought local Genesee half-kegs for $23.95.
I started at $2.50, then $3 - didn't matter - it was the first beer locally you'd put fruit in - lotsa folks just had to have it!
At that place, I used to sell a "Boneless Chicken Dinner" for $1.00 over the bar. Two pickled eggs and a Genny Draft - your choice of "Red Eye", Cream Ale, or 12 Horse Ale!!
If you needed a vegetable, a pickled jalapeno was only 50 cents!.....
I was a fan of the gallon pickle jars on the back-bar - used to sell a lot of stuff that way!
when I travel, I like to try the local micro brews. But then I actually don't drink much. A beer when we go out to eat, or after yard work. Most I've had in one sitting was 3 in the past 5 years I buy a 12 pack and it will last me 3 months That's with my wife drinking some also
