Strange Brew. So many ways to interpret that especially in the beer vernacular. Know what was 'strange brew' when Johnny was in college at Northern Michigan University? The kids would walk over to Odells Market and buy a case of Buckhorn beer for $4.
24 beers for $4. That's a lot of beer for $4.
You and a couple pallies could stay drunk all weekend for under $10 if you all chip in (and yes that ten spot was also gonna help procure your posse a 2 for 1 large pizza at the Pizza Joynt so you have something colorful to throw up on W. Magnetic St. at 4am).
The next morning only when one was suffering from the "Buckhorn blues" (An actual medical condition) did $4 a case beer become strange brew. But since so many of us had learned from the sophomores that if you drank Heineken all the time you'd drink for half a semester whereas if you drank that $4 strange brew you'd always have beer money, the Buckhorn blues were here to stay.
Where were we? Oh yes, Cream with 'Strange Brew'
