Beer-a-Day #198
Schaefer is the one beer to have when you’re having more than one.
And so I begin macro beer…well, more than a week.
I had hoped to get this for Father’s Day, but none of my local retailers had it. I had to go pretty far afield before I found it. As I’ve mentioned, this was my Dad’s beer of choice eons ago. It was certainly the first beer I ever tasted.
Pale straw with plenty of white head. Some floral aroma and a touch of sulfur. Flavor is light with a slightly unpleasant aftertaste. Actually, it tastes better straight from the can.

We have a long standing tradition of kicking off the weekend at NASCAR races we attend with a ceremonial Schaefer. Most recently we celebrated in Charlotte NC in May:

We also just wrapped up a 2 year search for a photo of a Schaefer sponsored NASCAR race car.

Sounds cool. My Dad is a big NASCAR fan. He’ll be tickled to hear about this.
Just wrote a blog about the best “bad” beers–including Schaefer–which inspired me to review other people’s Schaefer (and other classic beer) experiences. Love the post–and I agree–better from the can than in a glass.
