Louisville Offering $1 Beers At Spring Game
College Football March 6th. 2013, 4:19pm
Louisville beat Florida in the Sugar Bowl. Apparently, they did not want to stop the party. In what we presume is an effort to top arrest attendance records, the school will be selling $1 beers, Bud and Bud Light, during its Spring Game on April 13. The “drinkable” drink will hopefully mollify the hordes, when Teddy Bridgewater gets taken out after two plays. We presume the song featured in this commercial will be blasting in a loop.

Are you saying LVille will be selling Bud and Bud Light in addition to $1 beers? Because I do not classify the Budwater group as “beer.”
March 6th, 2013 at 4:21 PM
so louisville does not seem to do anything bad. jennifer lawrence, my morning jacket, the derby, bourbon. i need to visit.
March 6th, 2013 at 4:23 PM
There used to be a place near Snider Plaza in Dallas called Bar 10 (or Bar X). It was co-owned by Eduardo Najera and Cedric Ceballos. On the 10th of every month they had 10 cent beer and drink night.
March 6th, 2013 at 4:23 PM
That’s pretty awesome.
March 6th, 2013 at 4:24 PM
that’s awesome. I question how big the beers will be, though. In college a place had $1 drafts and they were maybe 8 ounces each.
March 6th, 2013 at 4:25 PM
I think you just had a euphoric dream, dude.
March 6th, 2013 at 4:25 PM
How disappointed were you?
March 6th, 2013 at 4:25 PM
Do college bars still do quarter beer nights? It’s been a while since I was in college.
March 6th, 2013 at 4:25 PM
God, please let alcohol sales come to SEC stadiums. Make this happen.

Peachtree Tavern (so nasty) still does Welfare Wednesday. Free beer from 9-11pm every Wednesday.
March 6th, 2013 at 4:26 PM
I went on business in Jan and enjoyed the town. Pretty cool place.
March 6th, 2013 at 4:27 PM
there was a bar at baylor that had 10 cent beers every thursday and saturday. only catch was it was bud dry. drank it anyways.
March 6th, 2013 at 4:27 PM
Holy shit Alvin Lee died!
March 6th, 2013 at 4:27 PM
I was always a fan of $1 shots on Sunday nights at Molly O’Sheas in Athens. Play some trivia at Wild Wing and then go to town on cheap booze at 10:30 on a Sunday.
March 6th, 2013 at 4:29 PM

I think some place on Freemont street was overing 50 cent Hamms on my last trip. Did not get to check it out, though. But I did manage to get a giant Hamms for 3 or 4 bucks at Mermaids.
March 6th, 2013 at 4:29 PM
Isn’t Jay V. from Louisville?
March 6th, 2013 at 4:30 PM

That’s my fishing/camping/floating beer of choice in the summer. That and Old Milwaukee. I’m not opposed to Olympia.
March 6th, 2013 at 4:32 PM
I know why you’re saying this, but if I could spend $10-15 and get shit housed I’d be happy now, let alone when I was in college. Though I’ve never actually gone to a spring game, so maybe the beer is a must just to get through it.
March 6th, 2013 at 4:32 PM

It’s such low-hanging fruit. I can’t help myself.
March 6th, 2013 at 4:32 PM
I’ve seen that beautiful case from time to time. Taste similar to Old Milwaukee?
March 6th, 2013 at 4:32 PM
not too dissapointed, worked out to $2 pints, which isn’t terrible for a bar. place was a total dive though and one time had a deer carcass in the parking lot.
March 6th, 2013 at 4:32 PM
Why Ask Why?
March 6th, 2013 at 4:33 PM
Gross. First time I ever got drunk was off of lukewarm Old Milwaukee. We put back six each and I can remember a buddy puking up a jalapeno from a subway sandwich he had hours before while another dude was taking a piss next to him.
March 6th, 2013 at 4:34 PM
Why Ask Why?
i probably should have asked why more. the hangovers from that crap were bad.
March 6th, 2013 at 4:35 PM
I have no problem drinking what people might describe as nasty beer. My favorite beer, dating back to when I was 15, is Old Style. I can’t help it.
I still love (and acknowledge) the better tasting quality beers, but god damn I just love me some Old Style.
March 6th, 2013 at 4:35 PM
CMU never had anything cheaper than $2 beer nights, at least not anywhere I knew about. But I mostly just pregamed anyway and went after chicks at bars that were already drunk. ’twas a wonderful time.
March 6th, 2013 at 4:36 PM
That’s all they drink on Shameless.
March 6th, 2013 at 4:36 PM

Indeed. Bud Ice was the worst.
March 6th, 2013 at 4:36 PM
One of the worst hangovers I ever had was drinking a twelve pack of bud ice during a soccer game, not gonna have a good time.
March 6th, 2013 at 4:37 PM
It’s worth checking out. Interesting flavor, but it is no Stroh’s.
March 6th, 2013 at 4:37 PM

Nothing wrong with this at all. I still enjoy High Life on occasion. Especially during the summer.
March 6th, 2013 at 4:37 PM
Bud Ice synchronicity
March 6th, 2013 at 4:38 PM
Oh that sounds terrible. I drank 2/3 of a bottle of Crown before going out once. Made it to the bar in enough time to paint the bathroom with vomit and then ride back before the night even began. I was so hungover. Easily the worst I have ever felt.

Sunday nights in college we went to flip night. Order any drink, call heads or tails and if you guess right your drink is free. Oh the shit shows that were had…
March 6th, 2013 at 4:40 PM
A place here back in the 90′s had nickel beer night. I totally puked all over myself right in the middle of the place. Best part was I tried to cover my mouth with my hand, because of course that would stop it.
March 6th, 2013 at 4:40 PM
this has Ten Cent Beer Night and Bottle Gate written all over it.

anytime trashcan punch at our fraternity parties was involved, i ended up having all time hangovers. long island ice teas at marquis and blue margs at el patio in houston were up there too.

Natty Ice was the worst I ever encountered. He turned the food I threw up different colors.

legendary move. did that on a flight before when I had a killer hangover.
March 6th, 2013 at 4:42 PM
Five dollars LIIT pitchers in State College nearly killed me my first few months there. Child rape aside, that town can drink.

that settles it. the next time MMJ plays there, i am going regardless of cost.

It’s just a natural reaction, best to always just lean over onto the floor and then flag a waitress down for some sawdust.
/I totally want to get in a time machine and drink in the 90s with gg
March 6th, 2013 at 4:44 PM
Bud Dry and Mich Dry induced hangovers like no other save perhaps Killian’s Red.
Are you insane?

Legendary drinks there. A friend of mine was in Houston on business a few weeks ago. I steered him to the Marquis and told him to get a Texas Tea. He nearly did but my brother was working that night and convinced him it would be a bad idea.
March 6th, 2013 at 4:45 PM
/returns fistbump
//no, we did not “explode” the fistbump on contact
My little brother convinced a place in Atlanta to stock Old Style exclusively for us. It’s pretty awesome.

Jim James is playing Forecastle. However, you’ll have to dodge SCI fans. I have no idea how SCI is headlining a major festival in 2013.
March 6th, 2013 at 4:47 PM
Seriously, you would need an entire precint in riot gear to deal with that.
They sold beer in the old Orange Bowl, right outside the student section. That was crazy enough, can’t imagine it in an SEC environment.
March 6th, 2013 at 4:49 PM
I highly recommend going to at least 1 Kentucky Derby in your life.
March 6th, 2013 at 4:49 PM
Ha. The worst ever was my combo of nuclear kamikazes, peppermint schnapps and upside down margaritas followed by a limbo contest. I passed out in the bathroom in a stall and a girl had to go under the door to unlatch it. Then they had to fireman carry me out. Woke up the next day face down on the couch.

i will try to catch him in dallas in may. i am not enjoying his solo album right now. will have to see it live.
SCI was still one of the best concerts i have ever been to.
March 6th, 2013 at 4:49 PM
peculiar, esp. since they really aren’t even playing many of the other big fests. They have a pretty large following in Louisville though.

March 6th, 2013 at 4:51 PM
The alcohol is all over the stadium anyway. It’s not like it would be that much worse. But at least I could get some beer without having to smuggle that shit in ziploc bags. Hell, I usually smuggle in liquor, so I’m even more wasted than if it was just a cold beer.
March 6th, 2013 at 4:52 PM
Place at LSU (Nada – TJs right next to the Chimes) had a Drinkin’ with Lincoln night. Five bucks in the door, drink all the well brands you want. Usually did not end well.
Also had a place in Tiger Land that had nickle beer nights (in tiny cups), but seriously, $5 bought you 100.
March 6th, 2013 at 4:52 PM
son volt’s new album is greatness.
March 6th, 2013 at 4:52 PM
I can’t believe no one here has mentioned a bar serving up beat the clock. Cheap beer progressively more expensive as the night rolls on, starting at 0.25.
There was a bar in walking distance that did this every Thursday afternoon. Good times.
March 6th, 2013 at 4:52 PM
Meister Brau hasn’t been sold in years. Miller Lite originated from Meister Brau Light.
March 6th, 2013 at 4:52 PM
And I bet you’d still go back and do it again.
March 6th, 2013 at 4:52 PM
SCI was still one of the best concerts i have ever been to.
I saw them bunches of times in the late 90s. When they went from spacegrass to dance/techno/whatever, they lost me.
March 6th, 2013 at 4:53 PM
This is so true. If beer was available, you’d have less people pounding whiskey, and likely a lot less belligerent drunks.
March 6th, 2013 at 4:53 PM

Yep. This would have been Spring of 1994. Freshman year.

I can tell how you talk you’ve probably been to every stadium, as have I. Most of them as a visitor were nothing but sheer terror for 3 hours.
Other than Vandy this would be a horror show for most of the home vans never mind the visitors.

Had several Delirium Tremens night before last. I most certainly enjoyed them. Then I ate a Rueben sandwich, which was good. Then I went home, slept very well that night. Went to work the next day.

Natty Ice
only time i drank natty ice was when we made jungle juice
March 6th, 2013 at 4:55 PM
Agree on part A, but not on part B. It’s a shitshow either way. But making beer that accessible in mass quanity only compounds what was done before entering the stadium. I’ve been witness to it, it’s not pretty.
March 6th, 2013 at 4:56 PM
100% accurate and didnt really think of that.

The most angry my ex ever was at me was when I talked her into putting one of those plastic “traveler” bottles of Bacardi in her purse going into Neyland.
The security guy did a thorough search (The only one in the last 100 people that went in) and busted her.
I got some Dickel from the guy next to me.

At the end of a dorm party freshman year, my roommate and I somehow decided it would be great to spirit an entire trash can filled with Jungle Juice back to our room so we could continue the party.
When I woke up the next morning, and the powerful aroma of stale Jungle Juice was the first thing I smelled, the upchucking commenced immediately.

March 6th, 2013 at 5:02 PM
bar around here used to have ‘drink til you pee’ night where it was $1 drinks until the first person in the bar pissed. it was usually about an hour and a half shit show.
March 6th, 2013 at 5:02 PM
I’m wagering that is Fred’s.
Not Fred’s (although I enjoyed many a fresh squeezed juice drink on the deck on Thursdays), but across the street from Fred’s. Was a bunch of different names in my time, just like the “sports” bar next to Freds.
Don’t know the place next to the Chimes. In my day The Varsity was still operating next door.
Not next door to the Chimes (that was still the Varsity), but a little tiny place right behind the Chimes – same owners I think. They just carved out a tiny storage space and turned it into a professional drinker’s spot. Late 80s/early 90s era.

My best drinking game at Tiger Stadium came when I was sitting next to Charley MacClendon’s son, and he just pulled out a fifth of bourbon and asked if I want to split it. No way the son of Cholly Mac is gonna get busted at Tiger Stadium.

Aw fuck.
1. Years ago $1 champagne flutes of beer, always ended up spiking mine.
2. Shitty Chinese restaurant presently has $1.76 pints 1/3 legal price.
3. Drank Max Ice 40′s and Sambuca as it was the cheapest hard liquor.
4. Was at one of last $2 Blue Jays baseball, brawls and crotch mickeys.
5. Late night chinese food restaurants will give you after hours beers in tea-pots.
6. Also recommend pouring whiskey into those late night chinese teas
7. Cheaper to buy a tallboy and get cash back than go to a rival atm machine
