I'de like to find some Heilmans Special Export, it's (was) great when
it's so hot the grasshopers are packing canteens.

Was.

I pretty much grew up on Special Export (which, I have no good reason to
believe was ever exported to any place further than maybe Chicago), as it
was my father's favorite every day beer about the time I started to drink
beer regularly. When I left home I went to places where they'd never heard
of it. I drank other beers.

Many years later I rediscovered it. Wasn't the same. Wasn't bad.....but it
had changed.

Many more years later I tried it again.

Might as well drink bud, miller, pearl, olympia, rolling rock, coors,
yuengling, pbr, sam adams......or whatever other brand of **** is available.
