Comment of the Day
I used to live in Bushwick and was always fascinated with the brewing history there. A few years ago the New York Historical Society did a beer exhibit. After visiting the exhibit I came home to bushwick, went to my local bodega, and. . . woah, they had cases of Rheingold. I had to get one. Sadly, the beer was awful, and i mostly ended up giving the rest of the cans away to friends that stopped by. But I still find it incredible how popular Rheingold was in its day.
