Back then Lucky Lager was the usual brew... not so much for taste, but more for price, and the fact that there were these really cool rebus puzzles under each cap. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebus

I still had a taste for "better beer" in the day though... and Grolsh, and later, Guiness were my "premium" beverages of choice.

I used to give the Grolsh bottles to a buddy of mine that was into home brewing... and of course I would get an ale or two back in return. Good trade.
