I remember my father and his good friend drinking “Carling’s Black Label” and “Seagram’s V.O.” on vacation at Kelly’s Pine Lodge about 40 miles from Sudbury, back in the early 60’s. Now it’s owned by Molson/Coors, not available in very many places in the U.S. Now, Dow beer I’m not familiar with. Back in the states they mostly drank Rheingold, another defunct beer. I remember my first whole bottle my dad gave me on a hot day when I was about 14, early ‘60s. It was delicious.

Rheingold was my favorite beer back in the day. They had the "chug-a-mug" bottles. Getting off from work on a hot day, a cold Rheingold chug-a-mug would fix me right up.

Also enjoyed Ballantine and Olympia too.

All the good beers are gone ... A lot of folks like the craft beer. New Belgium brewry in Fort Collins makes a beer called Ranger. It tastes EXACTLY like the Ballantine India Ale from the 1960s.

These days I hardly have a beer.
