On paper, probably none, but like the Mob, the big k probably takes a piece of the action.
Yeah, same thing as Coors. Beer flavored soda pop.
Weidemann’s tasted like battery acid.
Looks like Leinenkugel’s - brewed in Chippewa Falls, WI will have to fill the void left by the move of Pabst to Russia. Just wonder what the Pabst family has to say about this, (no longer in the beer industry) but they may be shocked - Pabst started as Jacob’s Best brew. Pabst married Jacob’s daughter and changed name. I can well remember Wisconsin with the Pabst farms - how sold off for real estate development near Oconomowoc, WI. Right next to the freeway I94 and Wis 67.
I remember when Proctor and Gamble had a big plant in Green Bay now another company owns. I got ticked when Fort Howard wanted its stock back, and than it became Fort James. Scott paper is gone too. International Paper owned by Verso, other paper companies have come and gone too. Nothing is the same anymore. There was a Finnish Paper Company that went bankrupt. Just like Nokia (Finnish Cell Phone Company)
Spotted Cow rocks.
we could all start buying locally brewed beer....there is quite a revolution going on with home grown spirits and beer, and a lot of it is quite good, especially here in the Northwest....
Genesee was a big local favorite back in my college days in PA.
Surprised no one has mentioned Stegmaier yet. I remember my friend's father offering us each a can a few times we hung out at their house. That was another beer whose only claim to fame was that it was cheap.
And they're not going to want it until a serious keyster kicking is administered. Something beyond taking away the 0bamaphone.
Things aren’t the same since they moved from Latrobe. These local beer companies would be well advised to bust the unions and instead encourage employee ownership or aggressive stock participation. The same thing happened to Narragansett in my area: unions + bad management = closed facilities.
Yeah, when I was a little kid, I remember commercials for PBR, Blatz, Stroh’s, and Falstaff.
Stroh’s had a good one about a desert patrol of British soldiers that found a mirage stash of Stroh’s and passed it around to one another. Funny. Weird. Certainly memorable!
I know what you are sayin’...But I’d never have said that on this forum....
Do you remember the Billy Dee Williams commercials for Colt 45?

Well, I think we have to defund bad behavior at some point.
That day should be coming, and blacks and other freeloaders should know it.
Rheingold Chug-a-mug. The beer that came with its own toilet
Yes we could buy craft brewed or micro brew (and pretty much that is all I do buy)
But most people buy beer that is considerably less expensive and don’t even like the taste of microbrews.
Microbrews have seen positively explosive growth in the last ten years and I espect they will continue to grow.
I don’t worry about American beer disappearing but that mass produced beer becoming a foreign concern
