According to my grandmother, who is from Buffalo, NY, it goes
- 99 bottles of beer on the wall, 99 bottles of beer, if one of those bottles should happen to fall, 98 bottles of beer on the wall (this may be a tad off, as I've never heard it this way before today)
I'm from Pennsylvania and we've always said
- 99 bottles of beer on the wall, 99 bottles of beer, take one down and pass it around, 98 bottles of beer on the wall
Now I'm curious! Where are you from (roughly - just state or region) and how do you sing it?

Always been '99 bottles of beer on the wall, 99 bottles of beer. Take one down, pass it around. 98 bottles of beer on the wall' for me.
I think I lost the 'and' in all my years of hearing it.

I have never heard that song before, what?
@
Hellboy We don't really have the "99 bottles of beer" song where I live (south-west UK), but this is the bottle song we have:
10 green bottles,
Hanging on the wall,
10 green bottles,
Hanging on the wall,
And if 1 green bottle,
Should accidentally fall,
There'll be 9 green bottles,
Hanging on the wall
It sounds like your grandmother's version is somewhere between yours and mine.

It is mostly a time-passer song lol it's like the song that never ends
If you try singing the whole thing, it takes a while

I’m from Minnesota and I never sang it but I think it’s “take one down and pass it around” here too

Grew up in California, and it's always been, "Take one down, pass it around," for me as well.
