   chemically aged the beer, they all taste the same, in a category (lager, ale)   
      
     It always tasted the same to me in my drinking days.   
     I couldn't taste any difference in any of the brands.   
     One thing I didn't like was lite beer.  I didn't want to pay for a   
   watered down beer.   
     When asked if I wanted a lite beer I always said no, I wanted hi-test,   
   the real thing.  :)

     I had two when in NYC in May 2019, at a neighbourhood bar.   
     In the mid-90s I worked as a front gate cashier for a local amusement   
   park three days a week.  (At the time I was working like four or five different   
   jobs at the same time, part time.  Some where a half days with the morning   
   at one place and another that af   
      Anyway, it was a hot, humid August day.  There was no breeze, the air   
   was stagnant and just miserable out.   
      I thought a cold beer would be nice after work so got a six pack of Sam   
   Adams.  That was really good stuff.  Rich, strong, thick.   
      I had a bottle and a half and the rest was in the fridge for months.

     YT.  There are sites which review, discuss, etc cars of all years.  I   
   bookmark them in a "cars" folder by year.   
     Some are current reviews, some are commercials from the era, some are   
   salesmen training films, etc.     
     I can provide a list of links if you like.
