Deserves it's own thread. I never guessed it tasted so much like it sounds. I never though a malt liqour champagne could ever exist. I don't think I can ever go in the petro without at least thinking about getting some from now on.

I thought Champale went away with Bell bottoms, disco, and K-tel records.

I'm with you on this one. I just said to myself as I saw this thread, "They still make that stuff?!" And much to my surprise, apparently (as per some of the responses) they do.

Excuse me while I pour some Blue Nun and offer my good friends a Lowenbrau. Tonight is kind of special, ya know.

Ripple got discontinued in the early 90s.

Was Champale the pink stuff in the short clear 7 or 8 oz bottles? Or am I thinking of Malt Duck? Which ever it was, it was the 1st thing I tried to get drunk on when I was old enough to mean to get drunk, tastes like kool-aid. Chug the whole thing in seconds flat or at most 2 drinks a bottle. Over and over again. That, and Little Kings.

I had it in my beer can collection in the 70's, I thought it was discontinued when The Gong Show was cancelled.

So, do they still brew Hop 'N Gator?
