The Most Rewarding Flavor In This Man's World ...

I actually switched to Schaefer after my Dad passed away. He was a regular Schaefer drinker, and when I was little, he always used to let me take a sip. After he died, I spotted some Schaefer in my local package store, that's what we call them here in the Land Of Steady Habits (of course, being in the Land of Steady Habits, I didn't spot these six packs on a Sunday). I didn't think that it was sold anymore, not seeing any of those those great Schaefer commercials on television during sporting events for several years, but there those six packs were, sitting on the shelf. They say that your sense of smell connects directly to the memory part of your brain. They're right. Every time I open up, and drink, a cold one, I think fondly of my Dad, especially after mowing the lawn on a hot summer day, and sitting, and relaxing, on the front stoop.
