Cheap beers? In Texas, 1950s, back then dominated by Lone Star & Pearl, at 7-11s, Muehlbach and Southern Select were among the cheapest overall, but the chain of convenience stores used to offer "Specials", Regal and Edelweiss (Both from KC?) at $ .78 - $ .89 a sixpack, steel cans, church key required. Shiner (Bock only) was cheaper then then LS or Pearl, no cult status and with a narrow spectrum of convicted guzzlers, mostly older from Middle/Eastern European communities.
"Micky's" must have been among the original "easy opens", a pioneer of pull-tabbery.
My church key still hangs from an old key ring, and somewhere I've a couple of old Shiner wooden hulls for returnables.
I only drink on occassion now but when I was in college I was well conditioned. Schlitz malt was my favorite. I could put upwards of a case down in a day. I fact I could put close to a case down in a Saturday morning softball game. What the hell, we always lost anyways.
