When I was 17-years-old I worked at both the Pabst and Budweiser breweries. Summer jobs, getting union wages. The "Beer Room," where men shaped-up each morning at 6 a.m. had a cooler filled with frosty cold cans of ale, and there were two tapped kegs. Breakfast for most was liquid. I never drove the trucks. I was just a helper. One day, by the time the truck was loaded so was the driver I was paired up with. We never made it through the gate that day. Instead we drove right through it, taking out about three parked vehicles and a guard post before coming to an abrupt stop.
