I grew up in Wisconsin, which brews some of the most boring (most of the Miller brands) and interesting domestic beers. The best cheap ones are the bock versions of the small town breweries, such as Huber, Leinenkugel, Augsberger, Capital Brewery and some others I can't remember. Back in my college days (late '80s), you could get these terrific beers for $6-9 for a whole returnable case.
Anyone else remember returnables?
