Frank a lot of Blitz Weinhard when I lived in Oregon back in 73-80. Think they created Henry Weinhard private reserve also.

When I was in graduate school (poor) in Houston in the early 90's, Black Label was $1.97 a 6-pack and that was the go to. High living was $4 pitchers of Shiner Bock at the Rice University graduate pub (a really cool place in the basement of the chemistry building that spilled out up the stairs and onto the lawn). Now-a-days, I'm all snooty with so many excellent west coast IPAs but Rainier is still pretty decent for cheap stuff.
Lucky Lager back in the day.
12- 11oz bottles $5.00 Comical figuring out the puzzles after a few.

Back in Wisconsin my friends and I would go on a free brewery tour either Miller Point or Pabst. End of the tour was the beer garden with unlimited beer and pretzels. We would stay for hours and being Wisconsin they did not care as long as we remained respectful. Back then 18 was legal. Now days only Miller is left and they give you 3 tickets for beer. People leave their unused tickets on the tables so it equates to all you can drink. Now days I can afford anything I want so cheap beer is out unless I’m visiting friends then I’ll drink anything but a Coors product.
I started drinking beer in Germany so most everything here tastes like piss.
The beer garden at the New Glarus brewery is pretty cool. That beer is illegal to sell in MN.

If I recall the cheapest way to buy beer when I was in my early 20's was the 40oz jug of A-1 Premium. It didn't taste bad either, and it had a wide mouth for easier chugging if I recall correctly. Then Keystone came out, a local dive here would give you a pitcher of Keystone and a hot dog for 99 cents. Those were the days. 
I drank Black Label when we were poor and had little kids. $ 4.00 a 12 pack . Not the best beer I've ever had but it was nice to enjoy at least a marginal beer when you are poor!
