When I was growing up in the 1960s, my dad (career Air Force) would buy low-priced booze at the "Class 6" store (the on-base PX liquor store that didn't use taxpayer funds). The beer came in pure-white cans, each of which had, in big black stenciled letters, "B E E R"; my dad said he'd been told it was Budweiser but Anheuser-Busch didn't want the brand associated with low prices.
