Cheap Beer & a Sparkplug

Irvine Meadows West RV Park, Irvine, California

August, 1990

 

In the early 90s, the cheapest possible beer was Schaefer's, but if you were willing to spend an extra 20 cents for a 12-pack, you could wrap your grease-blackened hand around a room-temperature can of the finest piss-weak yellow Cleveland-style beer around: Burgermeister.  By the time the swap was through, we'd been through quite a few cans of Burgie, plus many gallons of garden-hose-flavored Trailer Tap Water.
