Thank you thank you Scarecrow. Who is the performer? This brings back fond memories of my Uncle Mike and Aunt Julie from my distant youth (my mother's aunt and uncle actually, which I guess makes them my great aunt and uncle). We are talking the mid to late 1960s here. Aunt Julie was a firm member of some fundamentalist reform church group, and Uncle Mike was just a regular guy working at a BC saw mill. Aunt Julie ran a very strict home, but Uncle Mike had a shed out back... It took me a few years to catch on to it all, aided by my father was totally in Uncle Mike's confidence. Good old Mike grew tobacco behind the shed, and made beer in it. I knew I had hit the big time when I was invited out to the shed with Mike and my Dad to (officially) see some new tool Uncle Mike had bought. There we shared hand rolled cigars,and home brewed beer. They both made me want to choke, but there was no way I was going to admit this. Ah, memories. |

Thank you thank you Scarecrow. Who is the performer? Luckily, I think many of us had an uncle like that. The performer is the one and only Dick Feller. |

One told me it stunk and another said it was OK but rather have a local beer. "Billy Beer" was a short run canning of a rather large well known for making CHEAP beer company. I do not recall the name of the brewery, but by all accounts there was nothing special about this beer. However the cans of it were known to sell for (last I heard.. around 1980?) for around $100 each, due to the marketing. When it was on supermarket shelves it was very cheap, but did have the endorsement of then president Jimmy Carter's rather embarassing alcoholic brother. Janice |

Billy Beer was a beer first made in the United States of America in July 1977, by the Falls City Brewing Company. It was promoted by the younger brother of then-President Jimmy Carter. The beer was produced by Cold Spring Brewing, West End Brewing, and Pearl Brewing Company |

Most illicit distilled alcohol is pretty well undrinkable... Straight fermentation will not produce a viable fuel, you need to distil it to get close to 100% alcohol - the best you can hope for from the fermentation is about 20-25% Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |

Most illicit distilled alcohol is pretty well undrinkable... Distilled beer = whisky. Of course there is the small matter of proper aging to make it drinkable... For a fuel? a bad batch once distilled should work well, with a wide variety of bases. Janice |

LOL Look at ever clear it was 180 proof until the gov made them lower it to 150 and I know the car would run on that. |

Legally in Canada you can't call distilled beer whiskey until it has been aged 5 years. You can sell it before that, but you have to call it "grain alcohol". |

Would be better if cars just drove on trash, like in that movie Back to the future. You get rid of your trash and you have cheap fuel. I guess that's something for the movies, although you never know, with all the stuff they invent these days... rOZZ Music Pictures |

They are getting better at it like hydrogen fuel cars, by product is H2O. Electric is also getting better with longer running batteries but still fall short on distance. Mix both of them right now would be one answer. |
