In Baltimore we had Gunther's Beer and Ballantine as rivals for National. My grandpa was a Gunther's and Black Label man, along with Calvert whiskey and Marlboros. "Gunsmoke" on the TV while yelling "Will you kids get the hell out of in front of the TV!"
"From the land of sky-blue waters"...Hamm's is a great all-purpose lawn-mowin', engine-rebuildin', fly-tyin', furniture-movin', wife-beatin' beer. At popular prices.
A college highlight was the Strohs brewery tour. For $5 you got a seat on a sold out bus and all the beer you could drink on the 35 mile trip. Once there you had beer after beer while touring the brewery. Then on to the Strohs Haus for even more beer. Finally back on the bus for ....more beer on the ride back to campus. The ride back was out of control as everyone had drank close to 20 beers each. Then a huge snowball fight in the middle of a busy intersection when we finally got dropped off. That was first and last college tour offered to Strohs.
"My beer is Rheingold the dry beer buy Rheingold whenever you buy beer it's not bitter, not sweet it's the dry flavor treat won't you try extra dry Rheingold beer"
Back in the day, I used to be a beer drinker. I even remember some of the beers, that I used to drink: #1.Altes, #2. Black Label, #3. Gold Label, #4. Hamm's, #5. Pabst Blue Label, #6. Miller Lite, #7. Miller, #7. Blatz,and #8. Schultz, #9. Stroh's, #10. Falstaff. Those were the only brands of beer I would drink.
Beer tasted great before " modern" techniques to brew it in short time. Spring beer was considered a tonic . Remember can openers were called a church key. My dad loved going to the Narragansett brewery on his birthday , free beer for the birthday tour. They limited it to one though.
Schmidt was a cheap beer of choice for some of us back in 1982-83 college days. We called it "Animal Beer" because of the elk, fish, etc. on the can. It was sold in a "sport pack" of 12 cans (half-rack) at my local grocery store for $4.25. So pool funds with a few guys, pickup 2-3 of those bad boys and you're set for an evening of "quarters" (which pre-dates beer-pong). Still don't know how we managed to get drunk on that watery 3.2% piss, but when you're 18 and of limited funds it'll do. ;-)
Rainer beer, lucky lager with the riddles on the cap, hiedleburg, old Milwaukee, then coors golden, miller high life, the champagne of beers and Budweiser.
Anyone know the beer commercial with an iron worker 10 or 20 floors up on the steel frame, and the chorus line is "Because I'm a bare handed man, and I do the work I like best"???? Probably mid to late 60's maybe early 70's.
These beers served well at the time, but goodness, haven't we lately seen quantum improvement in selection and flavor! Where have the craft brewers been for the last 2000 years?
In Southern Ca. Orange and LA county it was Brew 102. Actually, when I had to research the beer for a report, I found that the Brew master was regarded as one of the best in the business, and that after tasting it more and more, it was actually pretty good.
@@coleparker In Manitoba, the liquor stores phased out Blatz eventually in favour of another cheapie called Meister Brau. We nicknamed it "Monster Brau".
Cool ! I'm still trying to find the Stegmaier beer jingle from the late 60s/early 70s "ring-a-ding-ding do the Stegmaier thing in the summertime" . If you have it, can you please post it ?
0:12 I had a few STROH'S malt liquors at the Burger Haven PX at Fort Hood in the early 1980's . The can read Schlitz Malt Liquor but the serve always called them Stroh's
Has anyone tried the generic beer before sold in 80's? It was a solid white can with a thick lettering stating BEER on the can. It was 1/4 - 1/2 the cost of the cheapest lable brand I was 14 when my mom bought it two different times. Obviously she didn't like it. And I felt like we were Kmart shopping again, since stem from weath.
“Yes, it’s the pure, watery, non-beer taste of American mass market beers. America. Land of tasteless beer!” God, how did we get this bad? America has great brewing traditions.
Seriously? This is what keeps you up at night? I'm old enough to tell you, most of these beers were crap then. And most "craft" beer today tastes like it was filtered through Rosie Greer's jockstrap.

A tip : you can watch series on Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching lots of of movies these days.
@Brixton Alijah yup, I have been watching on Flixzone for since december myself =)
Ah, memories. I barely remember pop opening those old cone top cans. And all the old Cleveland breweries. Sometimes, change sucks.
What....no Hamms beer commercials? I think they were right up there, with Miller, “ The champagne of bottled beers”.

I always liked the Hamms bears from the land of sky blue waters.
I hear so many stories that Black Label was the nastiest beer ever made. Dont know if they still make it or not
I think it's still sold in Canada. Correct me if wrong.
Schlitz it will give you the shits, if not try natural ice or as we know it natty ice
@@chrischris7816 I drink Schlitz every day and it tastes delicious.
@@jamespfitz where do you u buy it? Can't find it in Texas. They have Pearl xxx long necks again though.
@@jamespfitz to each his own ENJOY
The most compelling ads in my opinion, on which beer to try would be Olympia "It's the water" and Oertels 92 "Real Draft Beer"
Oh, I thought it was "It's water".... ;)
Hey Mable!! Get off the table!!!! The two bucks is for the beer!!
"My beer is Rheingold the dry beer
buy Rheingold whenever you buy beer
it's not bitter, not sweet
it's the dry flavor treat
won't you try extra dry Rheingold beer"

#9...Schlitz
Lucky lager. Who don't like figuring out their seventh cap?
I was born in the late 50's so I don't remember these ads, but I am sure my brother who was born in the mid 40's will.

I remember in 1970 , we were waiting for the government to remove all liquor commercials....but beer 🍺 hung around forever !
i like radio commercials for old beer

I'm not sure but that might be an Iron City Beer commercial if it was from that time period
Can’t believe you missed “Gunther”.

In the early 1980s Blatz beer was the absolute cheapest beer sold by any retailer in Manitoba . We brought a lot of it to university parties.
In Southern Ca. Orange and LA county it was Brew 102. Actually, when I had to research the beer for a report, I found that the Brew master was regarded as one of the best in the business, and that after tasting it more and more, it was actually pretty good.
We also had Brown Derby and Pearl.

@@stvitalkid7981 I remember the old Beer commercial song for Blatz: IAM FROM MILWAUKIE AND I OUGHTA KNOW THAT BLATZ BEER IS GREAT WHERE EVER YOU GO!
Blatz made a light cream ale in green 7oz bottles...they were delish.
Excellent!! Thank you for the upload!
I still have my collection.
My Mother and I drank American Beer.
Rhingold is the dry beer and Schaefer is the one beer To Have are two def keepers!
Thanks! Nicely Done!
Dad liked old dutch beer.I'm partial to PBR in bottles.
2021 - No More Olympia Beer. dang it! what's next? don't take my Rainier
Was that Thurl Ravenscroft on the National Bohemian commercial?
I believe so.
It's Grrrrrrreat beer
A lot of these are the same sound from the TV ads.
I dig the funk remix of the Schlitz theme.
Cream's Falstaff Beer commercial is missing.
Love me some cold BPR
The song by S Twiddly , Keep Your Hands Off My PBR beer.
What'll You Have,Sir? Pabst theme is not here
The Blatz announcer sounds like the voice of Tony The Tiger.
I like beer, but boy is it addictive

I wonder how different these beers really were or if they all tasted watery and bland.
Schmidt ads were clever and well acted!
"Hot white ribbon beer...Original PABST white ribbon beer...Its 3rd grade stuff!"
I hope my heaven is waking up in 1982 anywhere in Ohio..............

Anyone remember Pearl in the late 70s? I was about 18. Me and my friend would buy a 6 pack a lot of mornings! 😀
Wow.
Remember Burt & Harry Pile?😊
Ah. Good ole B-more's Natty Boh. 😊
What made Milwaukee famous made a looser out of me
All old German breweries.Pabst& Schafer were to sellers.
In Nam, all us enlisted pukes could get on base was rusty cans of Black Label. All the Bud went to officers/senior NCO's.
And BomDeBom. 77!
I like Pabst but Hamms is supreme And Meisterbrau is a special treat
Hamm's from the land of sky blue waters.
Brew 102. 101 brews to perfection.
Falstaff is the Thirst Chaser.
Too bad you missed Schmidt's. Philly based and my dad's fav. Made from smelly polluted Sckuylkill River water. 😂😂
5:18, and Schmidt's is from St Paul.
@@jamespfitz There was a Schmidt's brand brewery in Philly until 1986. Didn't know there was one in St Paul. Might be a different company.
Where's Ballentine's Round and Round theme?
My dad use to drink Carlings.
Verne Smith speaks for Piel's.
“Yes, it’s the pure, watery, non-beer taste of American mass market beers. America. Land of tasteless beer!” God, how did we get this bad? America has great brewing traditions.
With a born on date. Beer fermented in a day with chemical crap. That's how.

No one got the.. as they APPEARED on the radio (joke)? LoL
Not a joke, a benign error, except to the very anal-retentive.
Wanted to hear Hamms. Busch, Miller but couldn’t stomach another shitty ad after the first 4.
Pearl beer is XXX, racy.
Schilts
Mostly putrid domestic beer
Mostly ignorant beer snob.
I've had all but two.
