*My grandpa always had a glass of Ballantine's with Sunday dinner



That brought back memories. Long ago in VietNam I fell in love with the 'other' Ballantine, an American beer (I'm thinking now, I'm from the other side of the 'culture' tracks). Ballantine came in slightly rusted steel cans that required a church key. Needless to say, I much preferred it over the shit beer from Hamms or Budweiser that came in alum cans.
For me, 'generic' American beer back then was shit.

The Vietnamese beer '33' I really liked a lot, came in half- ltrs dirty assed bottles... always the pervasive rumor of formaldehyde, but whatever was obvious, a good beer buzz, no headache.

a bit funny thinking about it now.

It was strange. It was so smooth, it was almost like Cognac.

The stuff we drank tonight was given to me be a Chinese friend and business partner who was killed in 2006 when he was struck by a bus as he was crossing a road in Hong Kong. This is the first time I've touched the package of 4-bottles he gave me back then. This was the "youngest" of the 4.
