The 1st coke bottle that wasn’t brown glass and used a crimp on “ crown” cap instead of a cork stopper At 9 years old I bounced a bunch of B.B. gun ammo off it .was curious why it wouldn’t break and dug it up .i have on occasion been accused of pulling low . My response. Naw I wasn't low I'm just such a big guy I look closer than I really am . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BillyVance 34 #2 July 12, 2018 Nice! The oldest bottle I have, unopened, is a Bear Bryant 315 win commemorative. I also have a couple of unopened six packs celebrating Alabama's 1992 National Championship in its 100th year of football.

He had a redneck beer drinking embarrassing brother named billy. Someone saw an opportunity there and ran with it I remember his brother, yeah... Just don't remember the beer. What I do remember is seeing beer sold in stores that were just labeled "BEER", no specific brand. I can imagine Billy Beer being about as bad.
