Beer Sign
I have had a lighted beer sign in my garage for the last 20 years.
It's collectible to me because it's my last name. It quit working last week (no light)...so I took it apart and found a darkened 15" fluorescent bulb. Checked local stores...none available. Online bulb stores stated 'out of supply' Finally found one through Encompass, an online bulb supplier for $25 plus $10 shipping. So I ordered one. Why would a light bulb cost that much??

Supply and demand I guess.
Other than you and Madison Beer, not many people have beer names. |

When people ask my name....I say 'the same spelling as the beer' They always get it right then...with a smile. And no...it's not Michelob.

Umm, Mr Miller, Mr Coors, friends just call you "Bud", I used to drink Schlitz but I don't think many other people know that beer.

^^^ Until my junior year in high school...I had never had a Coors beer. Always heard how good it was.
Finally, graduation year it was exported to Michigan. It was the worst beer that I had to that point. I don't think I've had one in the last 40 years.

It was labelled Hamm's, but it originated from The Theodore Hamm Brewing Company.
Steve Pabst?

^^^ Nope...and my middle name is not 'Blue Ribbon'
Although that would be a great middle name! (would have helped in High School with the older gals)

I'd say it's a very good excuse to drink a lot of the stuff Mr Busch.

^^^ I actually hate the taste of it.
The craft beers are all I ever drink. But I would drink it if Gus (August) was my ggpa.
