[Constitution Day]

Right back at ya!

August 2000:
The Heileman brewery has been closed . Heileman's was purchased in 1996 by Stroh's, who consolidated operations and sold the rest to Miller and Pabst. The Heileman's brands (including Old Style) are now owned by Miller brewing and will be produced in their Milwaukee locations. The tours stopped in May and the brewery closed down in July 1999. The World's Largest Six-Pack has been painted white; hopes remain high that a new label will be applied to the tanks.

Old Style...some nasty stuff...

I remember that from my youth. "Fully Krausened." We used to say "Fully Poisoned."

I like "the old" in fact I'm living in the past more and more it seems like.

Too bad. It was one of those kitschy pieces of authentic Americana that are fading all too quickly from existence. I remember many an Old Style brewery tour. Great place to take out-of-town guests. The end of the tour was the highlight - the authentic old-world style brewery pub, with free ice-cold glasses full of all the G. Heileman beers for sampling - a guaranteed late afternoon buzz.
