"Oh does that bring back memories.....get out of class on Friday, catch the 12:30 pm tour at Schlitz that took about 1/2 hr. Then hit their tap room for beer and pretzels!! Race over to the Budweiser plant and catch the 3:00 pm tour that took a loooong 45 minutes. Then to their tap room for beer and pretzels until they threw us out around 5:30-6:00pm. Head out to go drink beer and play shuffle board at some sleazy bar in Canoga Park before heading back to the frat house for a party or exchange. Oh yeah...major buzz!!!"
