"You're Surrounded" - September 25, 2020

Finally on shore... um, if there's any Guinness left?

I think I just finished the last one, but there is some Utica Club.

2020 Utica Club is miles better than 1970 Utica Club!!

Solved! That was a fun conclusion once I saw it. I am always in awe of the creativity of the constructors!

[Wendy Walker]

Not a clue! I'm sitting here laughing at my ineptitude. C'mon, somebody post an inadvertent spoiler for me!

4 years ago you were the QUEEN of the Spoiler Police!! Which is surprising because you are such a sweetie. You’re like a meta cheerleader!

You are right, I used to be very quick to jump on people for spilling the beans. I must be mellowing in my old age or, dare I say it, gaining some perspective! Or at least I've realized that stifling others will not significantly improve my chances of winning a mug in even the best week.

Genny Cream Ale! OMG, I remember drinking this when I was (I'm ashamed to admit) 16 or 17 years old. Smoooooth!

[boharr]

On shore. This time I took the launch. Whatever beer is left, please.

[oldjudge]

Yah, I used to buy it for under a dollar for a six pack.

[TPS]

Never happening - I have a pretty good idea where to start but I've been there for 3+ hours.

Please, I just had supper.

Genny Cream Ale was in the category of Rheingold.

I haven't had a Genny Cream Ale since college, probably 1979. I feel so old.

We also used to drink Mickey's, which came in a short, green, wide-mouth bottle. We called it the Green Grenade.

By the way, I'm on the beach!

On shore! A rare Thursday solve for me.

Hereabouts (Michigan), in the category of super cheap beers, we also had Pfeiffer, Drewry, Blatz, Falstaff, Goetz, and others that maybe weren't quite so cheap or bad, like Carling and Hamm's. And of course our hometown favorite, Stroh's!

When I visited in-laws in Michigan, they gave me Stroh's.

Yes!! remember it well. On a sailor's income it was quite attractive!

[hcbirker]

Still looking. Have a few ideas, but nothing panning out just yet. Lots of time!

When I was (ahem) of drinking age, I used to swipe one of mother's Gennys 3-4 times a week, to imbibe in the woods on the way to the school dance... I stored them -- unrefrigerated -- in my room until the weekend. Needless to say I can't even smell a Genny today.

[pddigi]

Not a page 1 solve as it was last week, but I saw something... and then something more... and, well, I’m on shore. And I beat Dom for the second week in a row!

Sad to say... I've had all on your list!

For me, that was Rheingold.
