1. Oh hell no...no myth.

I was a kid when Carter was President, but I remember Billy Beer. I actually shook President Carter's hand when I was about 9 or 10. He visited the Air Force Base I lived on, and my parents took me to be in the welcome line.

3. Myth? No indeed!

My dad drank a few. I think he may still have a Billy Beer can around somewhere.

4. Yeah and Jimmy has never partaked either..

7. Just think....

Many presidents have the "black sheep" brother. This time, we have the "black sheep" brother as president.

9. Carter was a GOOD Pres....

he couldn't get any backing from his own party. Which HAPPENS to be my party

11. Carter was a very good President.

And he is far more noble than anyone who is in charge now. He also, unlike Bush, is a true Christian.

5. I too was a kid when Carter was president. 22 when he left office

I remember Billy beer. My day still has some unopened cans in his garage.

6. I bet it's probably some of the most vile stuff known to man. n/t

8. My Dad said it tasted like *hit~~~

12. Billy himself said

It tasted like a blend of Falstaff and Iron City. Yeah, like shit.

10. My younger brother has at least one can of that.

I don't know for sure where he came to be in possession of it, but he's got one or two of them. I don't think he paid much, if anything, for the one(s) he has, either -- somebody gave them to him when he was a kid, he was only eight years old when Carter was inaugurated.

13. Yup, Billy Beer was for real. So was this.

Inspired by the late 70s-early 80s TV show "Dallas" it's...



JR Beer!!!

I remember seeing this stuff in the stores (I live in Texas, I wonder if it was sold anywhere else?).
