Despite all the rosy pictures people like to paint of the 1950s, it really sucked to be a black man. Or a woman who wanted a career.

Also, if you liked good beer, good luck finding it in the 1950s.

“Also, if you liked good beer, good luck finding it in the 1950s.”

Good grief, you are definitely showing your age. In this day of “light” this and this “light,” and every possible wimpy “rice” beer dominating the commonly available brews, anyone would criticize what was available in the 50s, just does not know what they are talking about. Men (and those real women who appreciated real brew) in the 50s mostly did not drink beer anyway, just because it was pedestrian and week. Ale was the drink of people of character. Most of them are gone today, just as are those people, ales like Pickwick, Dawson, Carling Red Cap, 12 Horse, and many more. The only Ale from the 50s (and before) still available is Ballantine. It’s not for wimps—I do not think you would like it.
