First time I've seen the commercial, but I liked it too.

It didn't run too long; I think it pissed too many people off back in the 80s.

Once upon a time New York city local beers made some of the best beer commercials ever,

Schaefer, Rheingold, Piels, Ballantine had tunes people can sing today. The Piels commercials with Bert and Harry even had their exact times listed in TV Guide.

"Schaefer is the one beer to have when you're having more than one . . ."

To quote Homer Simpson, we elected the wrong Carter. Billy would have been a much better choice.

I remember to old joke, "It must be hard for Mr. Carter to put up with such a boob for a brother, but somehow Billy manages it."

People from the neighbor had a Schaefer serving tray. They used to have little Schaefer handled taps for their kegs. Brahma Beer Commercial

Why buy Stroh's lite when one can savor the taste of Pigs eye Beer and prove that you can consume anything without concern for the palate?

Now back to my Saint Pauli Girl....
