Narragansett is pronounced Nar ra gan sett
I came here to say that...
With the accent on “gan”
Thank you 🎉
Drove me nuts he was saying it wrong I kept yelling your saying it wrong 😂
technically it is known as nastygansett, but whatever...
I remember the Rheingold Brewery in Orange, N.J., looking out my window in the early 60's. I can still remember the smell of the hops
My favorite beer growing I was any beer that my dad had in the fridge! 🍺 🍻
Or whatever was cheap. When you’re 17 and didn’t have much money you got what you could afford.
Hamms is still available here in Wisconsin! Have some in my fridge. I’m a German Pilsner drinker, but nostalgia makes me have a beer “from the land of sky blue waters “
still can buy Hamms in West Virginia
Loved those hamms bear toons as a kid in 70s. I had one of those light up hamms signs in my room for years til it got lost in a couple of moves. Still available in my town.
Here in Michigan also.
Hamms is available in Pittsburgh, PA so it must be making a comeback. I love that it is just as good as some of the national brands and only costs $16 for a 30/pk. It is great on a hot day
You can purchase Hamm’s in Nebraska as well.
My grandma was Miss Rheingold in the 1940s.
She must have been a real hottie!
There was a Rhinegold truck in "The Godfather".
@@RBAILEY57 Interesting. Haven't seen that movie in a long time. I'll be able to spot the Rheingold truck immediately next time I watch. My grandparents had a room dedicated to my grandma's modeling work and there was a crapload of Rheingold stuff in there.
It's in the scene where Sonny beats up Carlo. It's a hot afternoon, and there are kids playing around an open fire hydrant.
@@RBAILEY57 There's backstory to that scene. You note that "Sonny" throws a few punches that go a mile wide in that they miss "Carlo" yet Carlo reacts as if they connected. Why ? Because James Caan found out what a punk Gianni Russo really was as he was sexually harassing one of the actresses and she came and told Caan about it. So in the first take of the scene Caan really kicked the snot out of him, broke 2 of his ribs and chipped his tooth with the trash can/lid. After a week of recovery, Russo, after much coaxing by Coppola, agreed to shoot the re-take and again Caan really popped him and Russo was doing everything not to get hit again. The final take used was an edited mix of Russo and a stuntmen who had to be brought in as Russo refused to get hit by Caan anymore. if you watch again you will see the mile wide miss.
Hamms is still around. I remember back in the 80s my dad gave me a swig of it wen i was a kid it tasted good. My dad even said they lost popularity wen they kept changing the recipe.
The greatest beer mascot ever was the Hamms Beer Bear. He even had his own commercials! Bear memorabilia is highly sought after now.
The Hamms Bear gets mentioned in that old David Frizell tune, I’m Gonna Hire a Wino to Decorate Our Home.
Hamm's had the greatest beer too. 🍺
"Hamms, the beer refreshing..."
Bud Man could kick his butt.
Utica Club beer's mascots were Schultz and Dooley, an homage to two of the biggest ethnic groups in Upstate NY!
You missed Grainbelt, Schlitz, Swartz, Old Style, Gettleman, Black Label, J Edgar, to name a few
I remember grainbelt because when they went out of business the local distributor bought 6 railcars of it .we could get a 6 pack for. 69 cents or a case for $2.69 all of us teenagers had a great summer 1978.
I've never found a beer I liked better than Black Label
You're making my mouth water.
@@larry3064 black label is pretty good beer
Touborg Gold.
Schaefer Beer: My Cuban mother used to shock my Italian dad with this beer. Frankly, the complete Family...
She made Arroz con Pollo. A Yellow rice and chicken mix that was amazing, tasty.....
She would drink 2, pour 1 into the pot and so on. And share the beer with me @ 8 years old..
Damn i miss the old days..🇺🇲
My granddad liked Rolling Rock in the 7oz. pony bottles .
Rolling Rock was great beer.
@@dew02300still is!❤
@@dew02300 Still available. No longer brewed in Latrobe, PA but by A-B InBev in New Jersey.
@@pb68slab18 I know. But all it is now is a name on a bottle, or I should say can. I don’t think they have bottles anymore.
@@dew02300 They still have 12oz longnecks, and 7oz 'Pony' bottles too. A case of 24 12oz bottles is $5 more than 30pak of 12oz or 24pak of 16oz cans though.
Lowenbrau bottled beer was great ❤
Last I heard Miller bought them out then they disappeared. Light and dark were a top notch brew in the ‘70’s
@terryjames548 thanks! 💖
Dark was delicious. I want a sixxer now!!!
"Let it be Lowenbrau"
The real Lowenbrau is made in Germany. I think they may have licensed the name to Miller or something, but it could never compare to the real German import.
Right before WWII there were over 1900 beer brands with a near endless variety of flavors. After WWII, I not a handful were left.
Why are most beers only 5% alcohol? The way the country is going we need more than 5% alcohol
PBR Extra is 6.5%.
That's why they have malt liquor, son
A lot of beer is 3.2, or used to be. Canadian beer I always found better, for the most part, anyway.
Yes at least😅😅😅
I'm surprised they aren't putting female hormones in it now lol!!
Louisville Kentucky had Ortels, Fehrs and FallsCity. One by one, they all went out of business. I worked at FallsCity, got laid off I think in 1972 and then went to Kroger till 84 when I got laid off from them.
Let's hear it for Oertel's 92. A great old Louisville beer!
I purchased a 12 pack of Olympia in CA in 2018. It still tastes terrible.
Ha ha ha ha ha
Was it still cheap? 🤣
My Dad drank Bohemian Club, which he bought in quart bottles. He'd seal the bottle with a plastic bottle plug after pouring a glass or two. He'd occasionally pour me a bit in a small juice glass. Memories of Dad, and summer.
69¢ a quart at The Plaid Pantry in Milwaukie.
I saw a billboard for Griesedieck near Pittsburgh, Penn. in the '50's, as we were on a trip to slaughterfields of the War Between the States. I was shocked by the name....still am. What a hoot.
Falstaff was my dad’s favorite beer. He had to switch to Schlitz when it was discontinued.
You answered your own question. Why did these beers disappear? Mergers and acquisitions.
I see the pattern, in the 70's people no longer wanted taste, so the light beers took over. Not fond of water here.
Word is that old recipe Schlitz is being bottled again but I can’t find it !! It was really great beer
I’m glad Hamms and PBR are still around.
Remember molson export beer red molson that beer was really 👍
I like the golden cream ale
Is Moosehead still in business?
Pabst - the Regional Beer Slayer. There are a number of regional beers that were absorbed by Pabst and then died off. You also didn't mention brands like Rolling Rock, Strohs, Pearl or Jax.
As I mentioned above, Rolling Rock is still out there. It's now owned by A-B and brewed in NJ. Funny, InBev bought R-R, then sold it to A-B, then InBev bought A-B!
How about Lone star beer of texas??? And colt 45 beer
@@josephcontreras8930 If I remember correctly, Lone Star is also now owned by Pabst. Growing up in SE Texas in the late 1960s, early 1970s, Lone Star was one of the low priced beer sold. I don't think it really took off until "Lone Star Beer & Bob Wills Music" was released around 1976.
If you look up Lone Star Beer, you will see it was originally founded by Adolphus Busch. It is now owned by Pabst and produced by the Miller Brewing Company in Fort Worth.
@@josephcontreras8930Colt 45 called itself a malt liquor.
Any one recall "Old Shale Ale" ?
Heilemans acquired many beers like Blatz, Lone Star, Drewerys and Olympia and brewed them in La Crosse Wi and other site along with their Old Style and Special Export brands until they were bought out by Stroh's who then sold to Pabst. My dad hauled Heilemans daily from La Crosse to Chicago.
My Dad used to drink Rheingold. They were big in NY. They sponsored the NY Mets baseball team.
Loved those beers of old like black label, bud dry,oly,hamms,lowenbrau, original schlitz malt liquor bull beer and early micro brews.
I don’t know what’s worse in this video-the constant repetition of “the 1970’s and 80’s saw a change in consumer preferences toward lighter beers” or Robbie Robot’s horrendous mispronunciation of “Narragansett”….
Anyone remember Griesedieck Beer, brewed in St. Louis, and a regional favorite? The name was pronounced "Greasy Dick" and ordering it was good for a laugh in saloons of the region. The Griesedieck Brothers produced three beers, Griesedieck, Stag, and Falstaff. In the early 1950's, Griesedieck sponsored the St Louis Cardinals baseball radio broadcasts with a young announcer, Harry Caray. The last Griesedieck brother died in 1955, and production under the Griesedieck label creased in 1957. In 1992, Raymond Griesedieck, a descendent of one of the original brothers, organized a new company, and started brewing Griesedieck beer again. The beer is available in St. Louis, but not distributed outside of the immediate area today.
My family owes its success to the Greisedieck Brothers. My grandparents were immigrants from Italy He was working in the coal mines of south central Illinois and he noticed that the miners would always stop for a shot and a beer before and after work for fifteen cents. He was shoveling coal 10 hours a day six days a week for less than 40 dollars a week. So he and a friend turned an old miners "shotgun house" into a bar and had it put on a flatbed wagon and hauled to a downtown lot. His partner left and by now grandfather had two boys and was walking from a house near the mine where he once worked to and from town that was three miles away. He decided to go to the Greisedieck Brothers for a loan to build a tavern with a three bedroom home on the top. In return he would agree to sell only their products until the loan was paid off. This was sometime before WWI and by 1921 he had three boys and had made enough money to take a 2nd class cabin on the Olympic, the only surviving sister ship of the Titanic, to Italy so his relatives could see how prosperous he was.
When prohibition started he opened up a clothing store but had a speakeasy in the basement. A street wise customer would come in and ask for something in a size 42 men's suit, They were on the clothes rack that hid the basement door. He made enough money from that tavern to not only pay off the mortgage but put my father and two uncles through college during the Depression. My Dad became doctor, my uncle Leo an insurance executive, and my Uncle Jim a Lt. Colonel in the Air Force Reserve and a mortician. All of the five of the 6 grandkids have college degrees as do all of their great grandchildren. My grandparents operated the tavern from 1913 or so until his death in 1963 when my grandmother rented out the bar while still living in the apartment until her death in 1977 at the age of 93. The bar and grill is still in business and it is owned by a high schoo classmate of mine who proudly features a picture of my grandparents behind the bar serving my great- grandfather and some customers on the morning that prohibition ended. The bar and grill is called 'Lumpys" and is in Gillespie IL.
I have a large cooler from griesedieck. It belonged to my uncle, who was a traveling vaudeville performer. He said most of the entertainers drank a lot of the time. I was too young to ever try it, but he said it was the best, especially if he could not get whisky.
We had a Fallstaf 5 blocks away from the house dad would walk back with a case after the free tasting
Falstaff was my father's favorite beer, until they stopped making it & switched to Michelob. 🍺
My dad worked for the Falstaff brewery in St. Louis, they didn't give away free cases of beer to the public.
Whatever happened to Knickerbocker beer. I saw a photo of the giant billboard at the Polo Grounds.
Any one remember Beer in the white can ?
Yep. Generic beer was sold at Kroger (maybe elsewhere, too) in the early 80s when generic products were all in white packages with limited descriptions.
In southern Ohio in the early 80's Huedepol was still commonly sold in refillable gallon jugs at bars from the tap similar to the A&W root beer jugs.
Called growlers now
Hudepol was great for the money.
"Have a Hudy!" Cincy had great beers. Burger and Wiedemann as well.
Going up in The Bronx, I remember my old man loved his Rhinegold and Schaefer watching the Yankees play on his 12 inch black and white TV on the back porch. I would get a sip of his beer and I thought I was 8 going on 22 years old. Great memories and I miss both of my parents. Life is too short...
You missed Carling's Black Label, Country Club Malt Liquor, Gunther, and Schlitz Bull.
Black Label is brewed in Canada
I remember Little Kings, brewed in Cincinnati. We
drank a bunch of those in the 70s, and the bottles
were so small, you had to drink a few of them to
get buzzed. We would throw them in the neighbor's
backyard, and when the sun rose, the glare would hit
you in the eye. lol! We had to pick those up before my
mom woke up, or else she would have hung us upside
down on her clothesline.
Little Kings and 7 oz baby Miller's on ice sure slid down smooth...
@@edwardwilliams3185 But the main thing was staying completely
out of trouble. Did not get arrested, or fight, or worse, shot. All we
did was hop a fence and pick up about twenty empty beer bottles.
This was back in the 3.2 beer day, drinking water, but getting
charged for beer prices. You're right, it was pretty smooth. What
was also smooth was buying the beer before you were eighteen.
Kids can't do that today since the radar is a lot stronger, and
cameras are all over the store. Innocent days are truly over.
Little Kings made me fall off the floor once. I kept slipping off the armchair so I sat on the floor. I kept falling down. If I would have drank a few more I might have fallen off the earth. 😂
@@Reubenhubert You can never call women weak, simply
because a few of them were strong enough to drag you to
the bed and load you into it. It's funny how they always
moved their precious stuffed animals before they did so.
They would rather have hurt you than their furry friends.
lol!
The one beer I vividly remember as a very young kid was Duke beer bottled in Pittsburgh by the Duquesne Brewing Company.
I remember Stoney's beer brewed in Pittsburgh
@@bridgetmccracken1381 Stoney's was ok. I thought Duke was better. Just my opinion.
@@Tomatohater64 I liked the jingle and actual song for Stoney's lol.
Bet I have a beer you never heard of...Indian Beer brewed in Indiana, PA
@@bridgetmccracken1381 You're right; never heard of it.
have a duke , have a duke , have a duquesne beer !
Narragansett beer was famous for it's appearence in the 1975 blockbuster film, JAWS. To this day, every time I finish a cool refreshing beverage and crush the can when I am done, I think about "Quint" (Robert Shaw) crushing those iconic Narragansett beer cans aboard the Orca. 🦈
They need to learn to pronounce it correctly. NarraGANsett, not NaRRAgansett
The 1890s recipe Narragansett is back from a craft brewer in Providence and is highly rated.
I remember my Dad drinking Schafer and Ballentine Ale
I loved that Ballentine Ale. Even though i drank Schlitz back then.(60s & 70s).
I still drink Shafer to this day and yes I do remember Ballentine.
Thank you for the trip down Memory Lane! Back in the day, the legal drinking age in New York was 18, so I began my drinking days in 1967, when most of these beers were still in their heyday. Schaeffer Beer was the on-tap favorite in the bar I hung out at in college. I heard that Shaeffer is the "one beer to have when you're having more than one" song hundreds of times when watching NY Rangers hockey games on TV. My Uncle worked for Piels beer and always had a fridge stocked with 6-packs whenever we visited. Rheingold was the main sponsor for the NY Mets when they came into the league in 1962, and Ballantine was the NY Yankees sponsor in the 1960s as well. My childhood memories include the Miss Rheingold contest each year, when you could vote for your favorite and the winner would be crowned with all the hoopla of a Miss America pageant. And I can still sing the Rheingold song, "won't you try Extra Dry Rheingold Beer...". I moved to California in the mid-70s and lost contact with these East Coast beers, but became very familiar with Lucky Lager and Olympia beers. They were easy on the budget and tasted great. It's kind of sad that the big breweries took over, but I will admit that as my income increased, I began buying Budweiser, or Miller Genuine Draft, or Heineken. So I guess I bear part of the blame, though I wouldn't mind hoisting one of those tall, tapered glasses of Schaeffer right now as a show of respect to a forgotten favorite.
In the fifties Knickerbocker sponsored the Giants and Schaeffer's the Dodgers.
Ballantine was big in Philly my Dad drank it all the time
Remember my folks drinking Olympia.
Great beer back when OLYMPIA BREWED IT THEMSELVES! IT'S THE WATER ..
@@richarddouglas1712Tumwater, Washington!!
Evel Kinevel used to pound Oly at the Freeway Tavern in Butte, Montana!
Remember the eighth of a keg called an Olyball??
We had Pearl here
Beer used to be more popular in the past, period . It used to be seen as a reward . Now its seen as a crutch by many people .
I have Hamm's beer in the fridge right now... still good lawn mowing & grilling beer...
Schaefer was my go to when I had little $. 1/2 case of Lucky Lager was $2.11 back in the late '70's.
Yep.....all our high school parties were half barrels of Schaefer cause it was dirt cheap.
Folks didn't go west of the Mississippi without bringing back some Coors. They'd have a party, share it with their friends like it was something special. Then they started selling it over east and it was like oh well, just another beer.
I remember when they started selling it the parking lot next to the base liquor store on Little Rock AFB in 1980. Jacksonville, the town outside the gate of the base was a dry town. If you were a GI under 21, you could only purchase 3.2 beer. That's 3.2% alcohol content.
Still enjoying my hometown Genesee Beer!
We drank gallons of Genny Cream in the 70s.
@Reubenhubert The Green Death! I graduated from high school in 1974 and we wore Creamers '74 buttons!
Schmidts beer and Tier Head Ale.
Schoneling beer used to be popular in Cincinnati in the 60s,they also made little kings
Huedepohl and Burger were big in the Natty
We used to drink the hell out of little kings when I was young I wish they still made it
I drank many little kings while attending the U of C
We drank gallons of Little Kings in the 70’s. Once I drank so many 7oz bottles I fell off the floor. I kept falling out of an armchair so I sat on the floor. I couldn’t even sit there without falling over. Those were the days. 😂
We used to call them little killers.
Genesee, Cream Ale, Iron City. We were spoiled in Buffalo with easy access to all the Canadian beers.. Molson’s, LaBatts blue, Old Vienna, O’Keefe, Brador. Extra Stock etc. Great memories
We all have favorites to add to this list. Here's mine. Pabst bock, Henry Weinhards private reserve, Michelob lager, Anchor Steam beer, Brew 102, Lucky Lager, Andeker beer, Erlanger, Berghoff bock.
Anchor was popular in Asia back in the 90s.
@@MuzixMaker Two different beers and breweries.
Andeker and Erlanger were delicious. One of the first beers I had when I was underage.
Anchor Steam only closed in 2023, still indy, I think. The CEO of Chobani yogurt will be trying to resurrect it.
Well done. I was at the old Blatzt and Scliitz Milwaukee brewery's taking pictures
Schaehfer Finished No. 1 and No. 20? Amazing!!!
Carling's Black Label and Augustiner's Lager were favorites in WV.
As cigarette smoking has declined over the past 50 years, more people possess normally functioning taste buds, and have gotten fussier about the taste of crappy, cheap beer, so these beers have gone belly up. Wisconsin has tons of micro-breweries that make beer the way it is supposed to taste.
And it’s impossible for teenagers to buy cheap beer now.
A-1 was excellent beer,..brewed in downtown Tucson, Ariz...I miss it most.
Being from Cincinnati, the first brand of beer I drank was Hudepohl gold. They also had Hudy delight, and in the early-mid 80's they came out with Christian Moerlein, which was marketed as a more sophisticated beer. All 3 had their distinct taste, but I preferred Hudy Gold.
Didn't Hudepohl also make Burger Beer for a while? That was a good one!
@@jvsmith7888 It's possible, I just don't remember that one.
Get nudey with with hudey
Growing up in the 70s in Indiana I remember the adults drinking Schlitz, Fall City, and Pabst Blue Ribbon. A friend of mines dad would always while working on his vehicle have a Fall City while also listening to the St Louis Cardinals on the radio.
Of those I'd welcome back Schaffer, Blatz, Stroh's, original Olympia. All in a bottle, of course.
I can tell you Hamm's is readily available in liquor and grocery stores in Austin, Chicago, and in Las Vegas. I find it hard to believe that it has disappeared from any shelves at all.
It's still available in Virginia, not in many places, though.
I enjoyed Lucky Lager in the mid 1970’s !!!!
OMG it was PBR that killed all these brands DREWYS was my mothers favorite beer. If it were in my powers I would like to create a special bar or pub that would cater to ALL the lost brands of beers from the past with the original taste and flavors people would remember from the past and keep it that way. But alas I am only dreaming here fun video thanks for posting
Actually, it was Heilemann that bought them all up using junk bonds. Pabst swept them all up when Heilemann collapsed.
What about Shlitz beer?
Hamms is one of the fastest growing brands right now. Encroaching on BPR as the go to cheap yet good beer of choice. Where I am they have got rid of the 30 racks and the 24 packs to force you to pay 30 rack prices for 12 packs.
"The rise of national brands" is a recurring theme in too many businesses. So many regional airlines, restaurants and retail chains have been swallowed up or put out of business by national brands that have no ties to the areas they now serve.
I picked up on Rolling Rock from my father ..... with a sprinkle of salt.
The beet that made Latrobe famous
There were many beers omitted this time but in future posts consider these forgotten brands, Schmidt's (both Philadelphia and St. Paul), Duquesne, Rolling Rock, Augusteiner, Burger, Schoenling, Oertel's, Pearl, Lone Star, Jax, Rainier, Heidelberg, Buckhorn, Stag, Sterling, Genesee, Iroquois, Simon Pure and many others.
lone star beer is still around and very popular in Texas
Genesee is still going well in Northern NYS
Blatz was the sponsor of The Amos and Andy TV show. That's why I tried t -- and I liked it!
I remember the "stubby" bottles. When talking with your hands you didn't have to worry about knocking them over like today's long necks!
I loved the Hamm's Artesian commercials, they were funny and focused attention on the water and product.
I've probably had 3/4 of those and I don't miss any of them save Hudy Pop. Only it brings back a nostalgia of going to Reds games. Cincy also made Little Kings I believe.
My favorites from back then were Schlitz, Olympia, Hamm's and Carling's Black Label.
Black Label is my favorite
Yep, Carling Black Label. When my family moved into our new house back in 1977, it had a huge gameroom next to the basement. In the gameroom, there was a huge rotating, illuminated sign of Carling Black Label beer. Maybe two feet high by four feet long. I loved it.
When I was stationed on Shemya in the Aleutian Islands in the seventies, Olympia was often the only beer available. Also, at one time, there was a Piels brewery in Willimansett, Massachusetts .
Lighter beer? American beer is like water!
Blitz Weinhard brewed right downtown in Portland Oregon. The best country in the country and the country's best beer!
Changing consumer preferences for light beer's and national brands. Pabst got it.
Kinda surprised you left out Jax Beer - both of them! It was still pretty popular into the 1960's in Texas at least.
Where l lived you drank Genesee cans and you kept Pabst bottles in case you got company. I drank Hamms, Olympia returnable bottles and Rheingold, and in college I drank 40 Oz Blatz bottles. Koehler was what everyone drank at social functions like church picnic. My Uncle drank 32 Oz Dubois Budweiser. When he opened the bottle he threw the cap away.
Most every city had it's own exclusive beer before the advent of pasteurization gave rise to regional markets. Many of those old local breweries would continue to operate up through the 30's-40's, but by the postwar years they were all but gone.
Lucky lager... Puzzle in cap.. 12 pack of 11 oz stubby bottles. $3.99 1980 s
I could never understand why Olympia beer in Tumwater closed down ?
What is the common informational point about ALL of these beers? The 1970s brought us legal changes and the government became just fine with corporatism and behemoth mega beer companies. The good old local beer ceased to exist. Now we got corporate piss water beers, with all of them fighting to be less palatable than the one before them.
Narragansett is being brewed again, along with Hanley's. There's a Narragansett Brewpub overlooking the Providence Waterfront next to India point Park.
I also forgot about fisher sometimes you could find it for a dollar a six pack,that was a long time ago
I was born in 68 and I never heard of blatz beer . Apparently it was a favorite of my great uncle because I have his blatz beer shelf light with a bearded man wearing a wooden barrel toasting with a mug of beer.
I have had the pleasure of drinking every one of these beers, except Red Top. I wish I could drink them all again, especially Falstaff.
My dad worked for the Falstaff brewery in St. Louis.
Remember the iconic and popular "beer can collection" 😊
Hamms Beer was the best of the lot and still is today next to Brown Derby Beer out of L.A back in the 60and 70s
Could say Narragansett correctly. Never heard of the Bay. Ballantine Ale I loved cold on a hot summer day. There were only 3 or 4 beers that I have had. I grew up in New England, went to California for the service and moved to Ohio after college. Saw a lot of different beers.
When the drinking age was 18 kids couldn't aford good beer thats why they did well. They were cheap beers that tasted cheap, but if you drank enough of them, they all tasted good. People had more money when the drinking age went to 21 so they bought better beer. I have never run across someone who would choose PIELS over Molson the taste.
Ay!
Molson was the favorite of hosers Bob and Doug McKenzie.
My dad and uncles drank PBR, Schlitz and Stag.
Schaefer Weekender was down there with the nastiest cheapest swill in the late 80s / early 90s. We called Falls City “Falls Shitty”. 😅
Nice video, thanks.
You could do several videos just on each brand's jingles.
(BTW, you listed Schafer twice: at #1 and at #20...neither of which entries had number titles like most of the other 18 you listed).
My beer was Schaefer and Reynolds and Pabst back in the day..
Oly and Coors in the small "banquet" cans were THE American beer for most West Coast sailors....
Wiedemanns, Old Crown Ale, Champagne Velvet, Oertel’s 92
Cincinnati, like a lot of American cities long ago, had many breweries. I remember Hudepohl, Schoenling (and their 7 oz crème ale called Little Kings) and Burger beer. My Dad also drank Carling Black Label. Too bad all of those essentially went away. I have seen Little Kings in recent years but the taste is not the same. Progress.
I liked black label first beer I drank . In the 60s
Lucky lager is brewed up here in Canada...it's available everywhere.
Went to school at St Bonaventure with the Schaefer twins. Their dad built a great campus beer bar called the Ratzkellar. They served Schaefer and miller on draft and for take out.
Pabst seems to have bought up most of these brands. You used to be able to find San Miquel beer in the US. It's actually a Philippine beer brand, but had (has?) both a light and a dark beer. At a time when dark beers were not that popular in the US, San Miguel captured a lot of that niche. But it seems to have disappeared, or at least it's hard to find.
Mabel, Black Label.
I can still get it here in California from time to time good for you and if you are old like me you remember the the woodland animals playing baseball
