What has happened to this great beverage of ours? I grew up in Pittsburgh Pa in the 70's and 80's and at that time it was still largely a blue collar town with the greatest neighborhood bars, real bars. No one was adding lime wedges, orange peels, or apple flavoring to their beer. As a matter of fact adding anything besides a shot of whiskey (to make a boilermaker) would result in immediate brow beating and forceful removal from said bar.
