I do the puzzle and read the forum every week, and sometimes even solve the meta! But I usually don’t post, since I’m hanging with Isaac more often than not until the eleventh hour. On shore before the final role call is worth mentioning!

Now stopped ashore. Wait, just hearing this could be an iceberg.
Optimistic this development could keep our Switchback Ale cold.

Ok - I submitted, but not super confident even though my answer makes sense.

IMO, this a 100%er. Ashore. To remind me of terrible 80s drinks, perhaps I shall have a wine cooler

Looks like my first post (#42) got lost in the beer discussion so reposting here to get on Bob’s next report!

Reminds me of a visit to the Schoenling brewery after a talk by Eugene Merchant. There was a discussion hosted by Cincinnati Milacron about the metal cutting industry. After a few Schoenling libations, Merchant related that if a Milacron competitor asked about a certain process, he would generally tell them. (~ our discussion of spoilers) This was not long before he retired from Milacron. It wasn't clear what was off limits. Milacron seems to left that industry and is now in plastic processing equipment.jcw2020 wrote: ↑Sat Sep 26, 2020 12:55 pmSchoenling's "Little Kings" and Bob Shreve hosting Saturday overnight movies ("want to see Chicky a little longer?).Joe Ross wrote: ↑Fri Sep 25, 2020 9:43 am In the mid-to-late 70s & early 80s, the only redeeming factor of any cream ale was that it would get you there quicker. A friend put himself through college via old 8 ounce Coke bottle vending machines holding 7 ounce Schoenling Little Kings Cream Ale in fraternity houses around campus.
[ EDIT: PJM reminded me of their nickname: "Little Killers" ]
By the time they finished at 6AM so was Bob.
So set me up with some Little Kings and Montgomery Inn ribs...they developed the brew to suit Ted.

Post Enlightenment! Finally on shore! And speaking of bad teenage booze, anyone remember Lancers wine?

Oh, dear. Or the lamps made from the bottles?
Was there another lamp mass-market wine bottle, maybe with basketry?

Lost at sea—have over thought this one so hoping for post enlightenment again but would appreciate a small nudge toward shore.

Yes, Chianti and Mateus bottles. And we used multi-colored candles that would drip down all over the bottle. Remember!? Oh my gosh, that takes me back to the 1970s! Macrame wall hangings, zodiac posters and spider plants completed the decor!
Good luck, fellow Muggles!

A group of 17-year old girls.....I don’t remember beer. Wine and cigarettes (Kools I think). It’s a wonder I made it to adulthood.
