Long ago in my University days, the beer of choice for my friends and I was Busch (and/or Busch Light). This was in no small part due to $1 pitchers at the Up & Up. The price on those has skyrocketed to $2, but that is neither here nor there.
On a spring break trip to Vegas, two friends and I stopped by a gas station to pick up a few beers to take back to the room. We were blown away by the presence of Busch in bottles. Something we had not seen in our sleepy college town or the nearby metropolis of Seattle. Sadly, we could not enjoy the delicious beer because somebody had left there id in the room. Why would you go anywhere on the strip without an id? Apparently the possibility of gambling and drinking hadn’t even occurred to my amigo, despite the fact that we were in Vegas for spring break.
We returned to the room empty handed, and the gas station was too far of a trek to go back for the beer. So sad. Yesterday I was walking back from dinner (Newport Pizza and Ale House, thumbs up), and stopped by the second closest liquor store to my house, that I had yet to visit. No doubt its obvious to you were this is going…Busch in bottles!!
It’s the little things that make life so special. Lets all raise a glass to delayed gratification.
