There was a Falstaff brewery here in San Francisco when I moved here in 1973. The building is condos now. Same with the Hamm's brewery.
I had an uncle who was a driver for Burgermeister. Is it still around?

HAMM's! It's the water, and a lot more.
Lot more of what? I don't know.

"Hey, what ever happened to Olympia Beer? "
Made with Tumwater, right?
The Olympia brewery still stands quiet, while the water, which is being fought over, continues to flow by.

1972 - Valley Forge quarts - It cost a quarter and you got a penny back.
Never could stomach Iron City.
Bud in bar bottles was the best.

In the middle of January at Grand Forks, one could chill a Hauenstein, Pfeiffer, or Grain Belt on a window sill in within 15 min. Any time after that - beercicle

When my Dad had his buddies coming over he'd buy the good stuff Special Export, in college we called it The Green Death.

If you were young, broke and needed beer in Los Angeles, Brew 102 was the way to go. Boy was it bad.
I recall my father drinking Brew 102. I found out later that it was brewed in Los Angles. Today it is impossible to image any brewing company even thinking about using LA water to make beer.
Brew 102 was actually shipped to the Seattle area. Dad drank the stuff because we didn't have a lot of money back then. When his financial situation got better, he switched to other beers. My father shared your opinion about the quality of that beer.
To: Tiny
Special Export was a G. Heileman product, the super-premium to Old Style's premium priced beer. Of course once the price wars kicked in in the late '70s, early '80s, either locally or nationally, all that super and premium stuff got kicked aside for deep price discounts. I can remember dragging home suitcase-sized 30-packs for $7.99 each.
