Depends on your age, “Snubbys” were introduced in the late 50’s through the 60’s and were thought of as kind of strange looking alternative to long necks
Snubbys were/are easier to ship and reduce breakage but just don’t feel like a normal beer bottle to meGive a man a fish and he eats for a day

Some how we ended up with them, opposed to the cases of tall boys we requested…you know the underage life!!!

I may date myself, but when we could manage to get beer from the package store, we got Mickey’s Big mouth. The short stubby bottles had a giant pull top. Hawaii had a legal drinking age of 18 at the time, so it wasn’t hard to get beer underage if you were close. We didn’t care to much for the local beer Primo since it was known best for it’s slogan “Hawaiian beer begins with P” and it seemed to live up to it.

calldoctoday Don’t think I ever had that one

glen It got sort of popular as a low dollar one with a higher ABV if I am remembering correctly. This was back a bit & before some of the others if I am remembering correctly. It was not too bad. At the same time of the Tuborg my big deal back then was probably Coors Leaded because we had moved east of the Mississippi & you could not get it unless on base at the commissary, so it was probably more of the “taboo factor” or something like it. My everyday though, you will never want to hear was Carling Black Lable, It was really like drinking water & so cheap, about $2.00 something a 12 pack if I am remembering correctly or was that a case. It was a long time ago.

I remember when I was young and you couldn’t get Coors, the custom combiners would bring back many cases of it and sell it for far more than they paid for it.

bocephus That’s the way it was in Hawaii with Coors, people would have to bring it in with their luggage from the mainland. They could not sell it in stores there. When you would go to the airport you would see cases of it on the baggage carousel, you could bring two case back with you.

I knew a guy going to college in another state who would load up his van with Coors and re-sell it for his spending money

glen Coors was a “thing” back in the day because you couldn’t find it east of the mississippi and because it was scarce, like many things, it was sought after.

calldoctoday man I remember that one, I think it was back in the early to mid 70’s.
