Olde Frothingslosh sure wasn't Griesedick.

Falstaff?

Dizzy Dean on the CBS game of the week with Pee Wee Reese? Diz seemed to delight in prouncing it Greasy...

Never had a problem with Falstaff. It always seemd to be an OK beer.

My real preferences were Lohenbrau (back in the 60's...college fave) and Killian's Red Ale (ever since my first bottle, in the 80's).

Well, Griesedick sure wasn't Ortlieb's.

In Ortlieb's defense, it wasn't uniformly bad, since product consistency wasn't a strong suit at their ancient family brewery in Philly. In fact, I once suggested a tag line for them, No Two Bottles Alike. or Surprise! It's Ortlieb's"

Their brown bottles were the old deposit-reusable jobs, and were battered and scratched beyond belief, probably dating from WWI. Often, one could see strange objects floating by inside them ... before they were opened. In a feeble and primitive attempt at vertical marketing, they also owned a chain of the foulest tap-rooms this side of Clark Field.

Rolling Rock or somebody bought them out, probably at the request of the Department of Health.

The "Old Pro" and "Go,go, go for Falstaff." I remember all that.
