I recall back in the late '70's and early '80's. a friend of mine used to fly Olympia in for us "cold" in his P-51 Mustang!

That's the kind of friend you hold onto! Holy cow!

[EGPWS]

That's the kind of friend you hold onto! Holy cow!

Yes, however 130 octane at 60 to 100 gallons of consumption per hour can the ties that bind a friendship loosen a bit when one pays the fuel costs!!

His was a D model and was turned into a "crater maker" about 15 years ago, sadly enough at the cost of 2 lives.

Cold Lone Star long necks under the big oak tree at Luckenbach, Texas!

Don't get no better'n that!

[Squantos]

[TexasCowboy]

The former Olympia brewery is not closed but is now a Miller facility. At least it was running a couple of years ago when I was there.

Alas, it is closed down. Here's an article:

Jan 10, 2003 - Miller Brewing company said Thursday that it will close its brewery in Tumwater, Wash., ending a 106-year brewing legacy and eliminating the last major brewery in the Northwest. Nearly 400 workers will lose their jobs.

That's odd, the small Redhook brewery is now the largest in the state. And I thought Rainer just moved from Seattle down towards Olympia.

Try "Old Heathen" Imperial Stout from Weyerbacher Brewery in Pennsylvania


Probably pretty hard to come by down here in Oklahoma. Next time I'm back east I'll add it to my list of beers to try

Wiedemann Beer

Reading the thread, I was trying to think of that name, which was also brewed in or around Cincinnati. As I recall it was about $3.50 per case and drunk by impoverished college students. Your mangy dog tail filter description is appropriate. As I recall, after 5 or 6, you didn't notice the taste so much. But it was better than some of the Paisano wine we occasionally drank when Wiedemann was outside our price range. If we could get any faculty members to throw a party, we got better booze.

The darkest day in Fort Wayne history was April 12, 1954: the day the Berghoff family sold their brewery to Falstaff.

I grew up in the Peoria area that used to have a Pabst brewery.

PBR was the beer of choice back in the '70's.

Once the good beer is gone, the cheap beer tastes okay,

Isn't this what one of the guests at the wedding party in Cana said to Jesus?
