Paternal grandfather owned taverns and bowling alleys all his life in the St. Louis area, and as a result was beholden to the August Busch family. Busch Bavarian and Lowenbrau were the swills of choice around my house growing up. I would point out that we were allowed to drink beer as early as 10-12 years old. Wasn't a big deal around my house.
Maternal grandmother, who lived well into her 90s, drank a can of Old Milwaukee and ate a bowl of Frost Loops cereal (dry) every night before retiring. I used to make beer runs for her when I was driving age. -D > On Jun 30, 2017, at 12:06 PM, Donald Snook via Mercedes > <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > > HA! That made me laugh.
