I want an old school Michelob. With the dark curvy bottle and gold foil top.
just fit perfect in your hand
That's about as 80s as it gets.....
Me too
Michelob Dry
They still sell it in Chicago at Binny's but you have to ask where it is.
I was told they were bought by Budweiser. 😢
Let it be Lowenbrau. Haven’t heard from them in a long time.
That was the beer my mom drank. The only beer she drank in fact.
Me too
I want it back. Famous aftertaste.
Excellent choice.
My favorite in Germany
I’ve had most of those, don’t miss them, but I sure miss the 1980’s!
I miss both the beers and the times
Old Milwaukee taste like high school, any one ever call Milwaukee best as Milwaukee beast..😂
I'm 57 and a lifelong resident of Phila area. Schmidt's was THE beer sold at Eagles and Phillies games until the late 80's
The there was Joes beer, “ Ortliebs”
Schaeffer Light. Best lawn mowing beer my neighbor and I hydrated with!
First beer I ever drank was a peel tab Schaefer can 😂
My grandfather loved Schaffer and Schwan's. But then again he like whiskey too at the same time. A lot of both. All day every day and night.
Awesome classic Beer and television commercials of them
and they were and still very memorable commercials today
Thanks for the Memories.🇺🇲🍺🍻🍺🇺🇲
Dad used to like Olympia....also remember kids saying "rainier beer it comes from here" (pointing at their bladder) ha ha
These brews are gone, but you know what’s still around? Busch and Busch Lite. Just proves that life isn’t fair.
Bring back old school Michelob
You forgot Ham's Beer and it's Best! Song goes, "Hams the beer refreshing". Always loved the Hams Beer commercials.
Hamms is still very much around. Brewed by Molson Coors, it is a budget friendly beer with good taste. Not the same as it was years ago, but what is these days?
..."from the land of sky-blue waters... Hamm's!""
Oh really gregwarren Even the one before Hamn s is the beer you v e been looking for I m glad there s something you really like
@@paulmaddox8251 Yeah !
@@edgein3299 You have a point What is like it was before ? Times are not what they used to be You know what I mean saying ?
I miss falstaff! When I was a teenager, i used to have a pony keg in my back seat with a small hose coming out of my cigarette lighter with a valve! What a great beer with many great memories!
Rainier is still being brewed; I have a 12 pack in the fridge now
It's a fine beer.
My dad wasn't much of a drinker but every now and then i remember as a child seeing him drink a Schlitz back in the 70s. Miss those days.
I also remember Mickey's Bigmouth and Bad Frog.
Mickey's I see in cans I remember the green barrel bottle the big mouth bottles are back at Woodman's in La Crosse Wisconsin
Chuggers@@michaelpatrickhamilton3384
@@michaelpatrickhamilton3384Just bought 2 6 packs of big mouth barrels in Prairie du Chien.
@@michaelpatrickhamilton3384I just bought 2 6 packs of barrel big mouths in Prairie du Chien.
@@michaelpatrickhamilton3384Just bought some at Kwik Trip in Prairie du Chien yesterday.
We drank enough Lucky Lager to float a battleship. When you couldn't see the puzzle in the cap, time to quit. 🤣
Bohemian fire brewed Stroh's was the BEST!!!!!!!!!!
Stroh's made ice cream during prohibition. "Hey Mabel, Black Label"
Stroh's I bought alot of it ìn my young years I hated that they changed the look of the can
Lowenbrau and Erlanger.....I miss those beers.
Beer in the US during the 80's was pedestrian, and only really Anchor was doing anything we would recognize as a craft beer.
Thanks for the video Strohs beer I'm glad to find it again
I remember my uncle R.I.P. was loyal to Rheingold beer. He never swayed.
Killian's Irish red!
Michelob Dry. Please and thank you....❤
Löwenbräu Dark Special for the win
Unfortunately, Löwenbräu for the US has been brewed domestically since 1977. For my 18th birthday I had the opportunity to taste test the domestic vs import version side by side. American Löwenbräu tastes watered down.
I drank a ton of Old Milwaukee and Old Style in my 20’s
Old Style was the beer of my Chicagoland youth. Do remember looking for the different people on the can!
They said old millwaukee discontinued its na version in 2015 then in the next breath said today they continue to make old mill, old mill light and old mill na. 🤣
Schmidt had the cool wildlife edition beer cans ! I believe i have most of them from both brewery's ! The iron city cans are really nice also !
I remember all those commercials and I've had all those beers.
great vid, thank you! most of these beers were terrible, except for funnel or shotgun or other forms of chugging...
Molson coors had a few good ones
In 1970, we had Old Milwaukee at Ft Bragg. It was $4/case. In Vietnam we had "33", which wasn't half bad.
Ba Mu Ba…33 beer
Iron city is still brewed and so is I.C Light. I drink it all the time here in Pa. !!!!!!!!!!! Got a case in the fridge as we speak!!!!!
Iron City Beer has been re-released as "Iron City Premium Lager." The original beer is still available. Having said that, their "Blockhouse Brewing" line. including a grapefruit wheat beer and a chocolate porter, are far superior beers.
My family went to Vermont for vacation and I found a 12 pack of Schlitz.
It was crisp, clean, and refreshing.
Schmidts beer. We called it animal beer because of the animals on the cans.
And Rainier beer was called "Vitamin R".
Schlitz slogan was "Schlitz today,shits tomorrow."
Augsburger. Heileman Special Export. Tres Equis. EconoBeer.
Iron City is still produced. Your last pic is the current brewery just north of Pittsburgh.
There were two Schmidt/Schmidt’s beers: Christian Schmidt in Philly and Jacob Schmidt in St. Paul. Schmidt’s was Christian and Schmidt was Jacob. To confuse matters, both ended up being bought by G. Heileman. The video talks about the eastern brewery, but some of the photos are of the midwestern brewery. One clearly says Jacob Schmidt on a building.
Also Iron City was relaunched.
Schlitz was brought back in the mid-late Naughties.. supossedly with its pretty solid pre 1960's formula. I drank it under the original Art Deco Schlitz lady globe light above to mirror at the classic Green mill, before I moved abroad in 2009.
I was in a sunday softball beer league. Always had Old Vienna on tap.
Well when you re of schlitz you re out of beer and you only go around once in life
Now you all know you want Billy beer back.
Nothing like sweat and pizz .
You a beer sux when even near beer taste better.
Little known fact: around 2010 Genesee was the largest American owned brewer. Pabst was technically owned by a Greek investment company. Boston Beer aka Sam Adams surpassed Genesee shortly after.
Iron City Beer is still being brewed, just not in it's original brewery.
My dad liked Duquesne beer from Pittsburgh. And my Grandfather drank pretty much anything except Budweiser( with a mix of beer and whiskey).The only difference, for them my dad and granddad hated Iron City beer both. So good luck for that. Me Latrobe beer. Was good.
Ortliebs, Esslinger,Rheingold,Iron City, Genesee Cream Ale, Rolling Rock “33”, Carling Black Label,
Genessee is still made, including the Cream Ale. You can also find Rheingold in the NYC area. Rolling Rock Pale Ale still exists…not sure about “33”.
I'm in pa rolling still very popular
You can still get Gennessee
Who needs those old timey beers when there is Boones Farm available?
My dad drank Ballentine
PEARL with a dash of salt was my dad's favorite.
here in texas, back in the early 1970s, I remember seeing "buckhorn" (bottled in brownsville if my memory is correct) for $1.99/case while out with my grandfather buying pearl at the local piggly wigglys.... always been more of a shiner bock drinker myself.....
Beer is such a competitive business.
Decades ago, when a significantly greater percentage of our population worked physically taxing jobs. What they wanted at the end of a long day was something cold and refreshing. The market delivered. Then the 90s came along, and a younger generation decided they wanted more varieties of flavor in their beer. Hence the rise of the craft beer movement.
Didn't the craft beer thing start in the 1970's? Some alcohol law passed during carter administration. Something about being able to brew beer at home?
What happened to Hams? They had the cartoon commercials on TV
Yep. I remember Hams.
I still buy Hamms occasionally
It's still made and sold. Availability is very limited!
Bass Ale
One of the world’s best and the world’s oldest trademark. Not sure the American audience would know it (in Ontario Canada we could get it in regularly.)
iron city beer is still here in pittsburgh and for sale and if you want a schmidts you get that in western pa also.
I miss Michelob light. Ultra gives me a brain splitter headache.
Ultra is missing something. Carbs. Which makes it taste bad.
I miss regular Michelob. Ultra is pisswater.
UA-cam is like a Time Machine.
Lowenbrau..
Bear Whizz Beer - It's in the Water straight from the Bear's Bladder.
Bring back Lowen-Brau beer back in the day best beer ever with the foil wrap ????
It’s still made
Everyone knows Schmidt's is called "Animal Beer"
I opened a Lucky Lager one time and it had a small rock in it
The video confuses two brands Schmidt Brewing of St. Paul MN and C. Schmidt's of Philadelphia. Both brands were strong in their regions. Schmidt's has disappeared with the Schmidt brand being part of the Pabst portfolio of brands. Given the lack of a clear history of each this is an easy mistake to make.
We are enjoying a craft beer renaissance. These old beers are going back to the Stone Age!
Strohs beer has a taste and smell of strong beer it fills your nose and mouth with BEER instantly
Could you be more ridiculous? There is a world difference between a commercial and the actuarial beer. In general commercials suck , but are tolerated. I'm just one person, but the quality of these brands was tolerated because they are cheap. If they were all great tasting, they would still be out there. Beers and the commercials bring back memories of what we were doing years ago while drinking them, not the "pleasure" involved from the taste.
Most of the cost of beer goes into distribution and marketing. All things considered, taste is not too much different from beer to beer. But the ability to execute an effective marketing strategy and get your beer on the shelf is what differentiates a successful beer from one that is a footnote in history.
@@edgein3299 I think you're right. The cheap beers do taste alike. I didn't drink ST Pauly girl because of the hot babe. I drank it because it tasted better. There are so many micro's now who sell beer unadvertised they do well because of the product. What people drink is their business if they want PBR great its affordable. I take exception to being told I want skank beer to come back. It's like disco returning. Not to ramble, but Agusto Busch set the marker when he wanted to go nationwide and to do so he had to chill the beer and go to cans. He did very well, but arguably the product suffered. "Stay thirsty my friend"
You mean like Bud or Miller light? Ok
@@edgein3299you have been fooled by marketing - brewing is an art, but Coca Cola is a marketing juggernaut - American breweries used to be like French wineries
@@moffr08 Yes. I'm not being critical of affordable beers. If I did a taste test of different affordable beers chilled the same it would be hard to tell whats what. I remember going to keg parties and if it was cold they all tasted great. I liked Genny Cream. When fluid is chilled the tastebuds constrict and you taste fluids less.
They still make Schlitz Malt Liquor.
There was a beer I liked from the early 90’s called John Bull. Gone…
Little Kings cream ale is back in production in eastern Ohio.
What about Colt 45?😢
Support you neighborhood brewery. Shop Local, Eat Local, Drink Local.
St. Pauli's Girl!
Wait, no "Private Stock"?? TF? They showed Bull but not Private Stock, wow.
No more Heffenreffer 😢
Red dog !!!
Zima better not be on this list.
😂😂😂
Stroh's.....I miss Stroh's and their Bock beer.
Would grab a 40oz on Clark st before grabbing the Rock Island line train to Tinley Park.....
Strohs is still around.
Does anyone remember the beer that had jokes or riddles in the inside of the cap?
Haffenreffer, a.k.a
Headwreckers, Green Monsters. They had the rebus puzzles under the cap. They tasted like doo doo.
Private Stock-I can't believe they didn't have it on this vid!!!Malt liquor, they showed Bull but shafted Private Stock!
I think IF i smelled Piels today, it would trigger a memory.
There were a few nice things about the 1980s. Beer wasnt one of them, though.
Pre AB Rolling Rock. It had a very refreshing and unique taste. The AB version is just generic beer.
There are two different Schmidt companies. you're mixing them up - there's Schmidt of Saint Paul and Schmidt of Philadelphia
Billy Beer!
Beer Beer!
Common, no lowenbrau, meister brau, michalobe. Also how is it that pabst had the money to buy up everything, it is the worst of the worst. My cridentials ragining alcoholic drinking almost exclusivly beer for couple decades and no matter how broke i was and desperate i almost never bought pabst. Fortunatly 24 years sober and never going back
A lot of these beers could be featured in a video entitled " sh** beers you drank in college in the 80s because they were 5 dollars a case"
Lone star is still being made.
I have a case right now.
Maybe you can only buy it in Texas?
I have seen lone star available outside of Texas, but that was years ago!
Billy’s beer
What ever happened to 905 Beer?
Which american beers from back in the dasy were as close to continental lagers and german pilsners?
Newcastle
NO HAMMS? lAND OF sKY bLUE WATERS!!!!!
Hoeffenreffer?
Olympia is flat out the nastiest beer I've ever had! Bought a 6 pack once. Took one sip and couldn't finish it. I gave one to a friend thinking he might like it. He didn't. I just threw the 4 that were left in the trash. Yeah it was that bad!
Olympia was not that bad.
@@area.man. I was a avid Herman Joseph drinker. When they stopped selling it here in Texas I wanted to try something else so I tried Olympia. I guess Herman Joseph was so good that anything else was a big let down.
Miller Red
No one misses those beers. If they hadn't turned into garbage, they never would have disappeared.
Screw the beer, who's the hot chick in the thumbnail!
Beer all tastes about the same.
My pops bought a beer called naked beer. I remember you could scratch off a bikini and reveal a naked woman.
