The Unofficial Old and Obsolete American Beer Thread

Free Republic Chat Thread ^ | 5/23/17 | Jack Black

Over on this thread discussing what has become of Fox News ratings the conversation slipped into the famous New Coke fiasco, and then onto discussion of what happened to Schiltz beer.

This seemed like far too important a topic not to have it's own thread. Especially given the onset of summer.

So lets have your opinions, good or bad, on the many regional American macro-brews of days past, both the survivors and the many more dead soldiers.

Pictures are greatly appreciated!

I don't know if they still sell this up in Michigan or not. Haven't been back for more than a week (total) since 1972.

First beer I drank compliments of my wayward uncle.

Back when it was still brewed at the Pearl Brewery in San Antonio.

Ahhh, the teen years..Ballentine, Black Label, PBRs, Colt 45..I hear that Ballentine is making a comeback.

My train of thought derailed.

Schlitz was the first beer ever to give me a headache.

I do miss Olympia.

Blatz.Look for it in the laxative isle of your supermarket.

Good thread.

Found a Senator’s Club beer can in the woods off of the BW Parkway in Greenbelt MD, just outside of D.C.

What, no mention of Billy Beer? Did anyone really drink that stuff?

[grwcfl537]

IN NEW ORLEANS, we once had Falstaff, Jax and Dixie 45. I guess the snowflakes running the city would ban Dixie 45 as being unsympathetic to the descendants of slaves.

I only took a sip of it once, thus I am here to talk about it.

[wyowolf]

Wonder if they still make Buckhorn beer? that was some cheeeeep stuff...

[hoagy62]

They still brew Olympia. Saw it at Wal-Mart last night. I have no idea who breed it, but it ain’t at the Olympia brrwery.

[Safetgiver]

Best beer ever brewed...Old Frothingslosh. I was in love with the model since my first MJ joint. I’m pulling out of it now.
