@@grantkoeller8911 When I visited the Minneapolis area I always enjoyed the locally brewed regional beers like Hamm’s. Minnesota has several great regional brewers as well as micro brewers.
I didn't see "Tuborg Gold" or "Black Label" I cant believe they didn't play a clip of the Hamms bear cartoon commercial- "From the land of sky blue waters"🎶.
@@MaxZomboni This was what happened when they decided to change the recipe. Unlike Coke that did the same thing years latter decided to go back to their old formula and has remained successful. Change is not always good. If you take a long time successful food product and decide to change it, you should make a different brand rather than risking the company by keeping the old name with changes. Miller beer did it right. They marked Mister Brow as a light beer years before launching Miller Light which went on to become a very successful light beer.
the 1980 Olympics killed Schlitz. They had millions in an endorsement deal to be the official beer of the 1980 Olympics. I still have a few cans with the proclamation on the side.
@miked9958 it went out of business years ago, someone bought the rights to the name and started producing an ale but it's just not the same, the original recipe was lost so what's available now is just a best guess recipe.
Meisterbrau was an old world Prussian recipe brewed in Chicago back in the 60s they had construction project going on my Dad said he was a laborer they had a lot of cement finishers Brick layers at lunch time they would leave the Tap room open and you could fill your Mug any time but when culture changed that little open tapper perk went away so sad

@@matthewbarnett9599 The ONLY beer that gave me headaches. Another beer in Germany was Beck Beer...Frankfort Germant there was , forgive my spelling , Henning or something like that. " Snap-caps bottles". Beer in Brazil....some good beer. Thailand beer. Seen that AD during premier soccer games from England. Can buy THAI beer where I live. I have Japanese beer, Red China beer.
It was great when it was brewed in the original Detroit fire brewed brewery. But just like many other older regional brands the company merged and grew and eventually closed the original brewery. It never tasted the same after that and eventually died like other regional beers.
I live in the Philadelphia area, PA area and our two local regional breweries were Ortliebs and Schmidt’s. Our family usually drank Ortliebs. At family gatherings sometimes other regional beers were seen and tasted such as Ballantine, Schaffer or one of our other regional Pennsylvania breweries like Stegmier from Wilkes-Barre that was destroyed in a major flood. It is still being brewed by another brewery but is not usually found in the Philadelphia area anymore. When I became old enough to drink beer I always supported smaller regional breweries. It was a difficult time in the late 1970’s and 1980’s as many smaller brewries started to close. I finally found one that survived. Yuengling, from Pottsville, Pa a coal area local regional family owned brewery has survived to now become one of the largest regional breweries on the east cost. They came out with a new full flavored lager beer that saved the company and eventually allowed them to expand even to Florida where they bought an old brewery in the Tampa area to serve their many retired PA residents that moved there as well as other southern states. It is still family owned and younger family members are active with the company who have helped it continue to prosper. Hopefully they will carry on the tradition of family ownership and continue its success.
@ Anhiser bush never bought any of the Philadelphia or Pennsylvanian breweries except for Rolling Rock. In that case they only bought the Rolling Rock brand and moved brewing it in their various breweries. The old Rolling Rock brewery still operates but as a contract brewery and does not make or market any local or regional beer of their own. Till Iron City decided to build and own a new brewery back in Pittsburgh that brand was their biggest customer.
My dad drank Schaefer beer and when they changed breweries and water he stopped drinking it he said it was awful after the change. And piels beer is still sold here in New York we called it a old mans beer and it was cheap under 10 bucks
I remember when Schaffer had three breweries at one time: the original brewery in New York, one in Baltimore and then in a modernization effort built a new brewery in Pennsylvania just outside Allentown. For a short time they brewed out of all three breweries and I could tell there was a different flavor depending on which brewery produced the beer. Eventually they closed the old NewYork and Baltimore brewries and only brewed out of the new Pennsylvania brewery. Unfortunately for them it did not work out and they closed and sold the brewery to another company. Schaffer is still available in the Philadelphia area but I do not know who brews it. I do believe the original owners of Schaffer no longer own the brand since their modernization plan ruined the taste of the old original Schaffer.
Seems like Schaefer was what everyone in my area in NC was drinking for a while in the 80s.Then seemingly overnight, everyone switched to Natural Light.
My dad drank Rolling Rock in the 7oz size. I used to open it and take a sip as I carried it out from the kitchen to the work shed. Soon I was getting me one in addition to his and , after I would deliver his, I would go behind the shed and drink mine. Don’t think it ever took more than one at that point in my life - I was 10 (1971)

In Buffalo, NY it was Iroquois and Simon Pure. The Iroquois family brought it back in 2018, for a quick run by a local craft brewer. A favorite Canadian brand was Molson Export, but that is now restricted to Canadian sales only; it's no longer exported to the USA.

While I tried quite a few of these, a few hold a special place in my heart. Ballantine: As the beer my uncle drank, it was the first beer I tasted, as a child. Later, while in high school, it became the beer of choice, for under age drinking. Finally, on a trip to Albuquerque, I ran across the India Pale Ale, long after the brand ceased to be sold locally. It also had a riddle under the cap. Once I turned 18, the beer of choice was Olympia, served in a large frosted glass, at Lum's. Nothing was better on a hot summer day. Schlitz was brewed in Tampa, across the street from USF. The Empty Keg, an on-campus beer hall, served a Schlitz dark, which was better than their regular beer.
I thought that the beer that made Milwaukee famous was Old Milwaukee or Pabst Blue Ribbon and what happened to Shotz beer where Laverne & Shirley were bottle cappers and their not so apt boyfriends were partners on a Shotz beer truck
I've had both Hamms and Schlitz in recent months. Finding them is hit and miss even here in Wisconsin. Formula rights get bought and sold, so occasionally, I'll stumble on an old-timey beer that is being brewed again on a small scale.
I can still find cases of Blatz near my house. When I was a kid, there was a tv commercial for Blatz cream ale. That's the one I would like to try. Mickey's fine malt liquor has similar picture puzzles under the cap
Went steelhead fishing in early 80s with my older brother and brother in law. We bought about 3 cases of Generic beer! Literally a white can with beer on can in black letters
@vgshwk nice, back in 80s you could literally buy anything in the generic form. Stores had isles of everything in black n white products. I was told it was produced by lucky lager

I used to be a stockholder in the company that owned Black Label. Its full name was Carling Black Label beer. In my area kit was brewed in Baltimore in then old National Brewing Company brewery that Carling bought as one of its regional breweries. While Black Label was a nationally distributed beer Carling was a Canadian company that owned several regional breweries where they usually brewed whatever the local regional beer was and just added their Black Label brand to the mix. They like other breweries eventually merged with a larger Canadian brewery and closed and exited the American market. As far as I know even Carling Beer is no longer brewed or sold in Canada anymore.

Pabst never went away. Nor Hamm's as I have a sixer in my fridge as I type. Schlitz is back as of years ago. Whenever I saw a can of Olympia I scratched out the word "the".

Popping open a can was an act of small desperation.
@@kurtwicklund8901 Olympia was a great northwestern area regional beer. The beer from the original brewery was great. As they said on their bottles and cans it was the water. When they closed the brewery and decided to go more widespread by brewing it in other regional breweries it nerved tasted the same. I got to taste the original on a trip to Seattle but when it became available on the east coast I tried it and it did not taste the same as what I had in Seattle. Needless to say to say I ever bought it again and stayed with our local and regional beers available and brewed nearby.
I never had a Schaefer, but was offered many. I new 3 or 4 farmers in the neighborhood that kept a couple of cases in the floorboards and beds of their trucks and would drink it HOT! 😬🤢
The changing of the Schlitz formula for beer ranks right on up there with the A&W company removing all of the caffeine from their cream soda! Besides, I think that maybe it’s just about time that maybe the Billy brand of beer made a major comeback to the retailers, and it includes building a new brewery in my hometown of Morehead, Kentucky, just as soon as new tracks are laid on the old right-of-way of the C&O Railroad!
You would think that with all of the historical examples of failed businesses / products due to "cutting back on original recipes/ ingredients just to save money" that companies would learn a lesson and not repeat history.

@@andrewcunningham3838 I agree.Hamm’s used a cartoon bear in their advertising and I am sure they would have problems with that today. Even though he was not trying to appeal to kids he represented the land of blue sky waters of Minnesota that they brewed the beer with at the original brewery.
There was also just "BEER". Generic in a white can with block letters. The two biggest brewers for generic "BEER" were Pabst and Falstaff. Red, White and Blue was brewed by Pabst beginning in the 1880's. In the 70's, Red, White and Blue and generic BEER both cost the same where I lived (Baltimore). $2.50 a case. Drank a lot of both as a teenager.
Here in PA there is so many small breweries that's been here forever everyone has their own favorites. Personally l like Straub that is still around. Kohler was another good beer that disappeared for a long time but some people got the recipe and started making it again.

Drank a LOT of Schlitz Red White and Blue and Old Milwaukee. But then I did spend my 20s and 30s in Wisconsin.
I quoted that Blatz radio commercial at an Armour hog buying office. A friend nudged me for imitating that broadcast. Just had to laugh
You can buy national premium here in Maryland.
Carlings black label. Goebel
Buckeye. Just a few more
Carlings black label was made in Canada and much better than the stuff made in USA.
It was brewed in Frankenmuth michigan. I worked there. Maybe more than one brewery
Schlitz made the best draught in my opinion. Schlitz Malt was wildly popular, buried the competition.
Can you please specify the year(s)/timeframe for each topic when you make these types of videos?
😃I was a teenage alcoholic.I'd go to keggers and come home drunk, only to get kicked out again and again. going on 4 years sober😃 Only took me 50 years to get here.
Phiffer anyone?
Hudepohl 14k at Crosley Field🍻⚾️
Red, white and blue. The beer for murica.
Remember that song: "Redneck - White Socks and Blue Ribbon Beer"
MADD came after AB for spuds Mckenzie saying they were trying to advertise to kids. There's no way cartoons would fly in beer advertisements today.
@@andrewcunningham3838 I agree.Hamm’s used a cartoon bear in their advertising and I am sure they would have problems with that today. Even though he was not trying to appeal to kids he represented the land of blue sky waters of Minnesota that they brewed the beer with at the original brewery.
Ballentine quarts, with the puzzle on the cap!
I remember hearing and seeing about half of these brands of beer along with Burgermeister Beer with the guy wearing the Napoleon hat on the can.
What happened to Big Jug beer heck you could get a brown 1 gallon jug for 99 cents mmmmm😮😮😮
New York beer. At least that is where I remember. Rheingold Beer...
Rheingold went into dormancy from 1976 to a major comeback in 1998.
Give credit to the classic sitcom series “THE GOLDEN GIRLS” for that.
There was also just "BEER". Generic in a white can with block letters. The two biggest brewers for generic "BEER" were Pabst and Falstaff. Red, White and Blue was brewed by Pabst beginning in the 1880's. In the 70's, Red, White and Blue and generic BEER both cost the same where I lived (Baltimore). $2.50 a case. Drank a lot of both as a teenager.
Anyone remember Brown Derby?
I remember Duke .Its slogan was,"It even sounds like a man's beer."
"When you're out of beer, tough Schlitz"
Valentine beer and Schaefer what is the best of all time
Here in PA there is so many small breweries that's been here forever everyone has their own favorites. Personally l like Straub that is still around. Kohler was another good beer that disappeared for a long time but some people got the recipe and started making it again.
We are lucky here in Pennsylvania in that we still have many regional and local breweries that still operate in our state.,
Iron City Beer, Duquane Beer and an old beer that's no longer around called Silver Top Beer.
@danbasta3677 They don't make Iron City anymore? I didn't know that. I really only buy Straub Dark. It's my favorite.
@@Buddha-of8fk Iron City is still available all over western Pennsylvania and other areas. Not only is it still available they just recently moved the brewing of it back to a newly built brewery in Pittsburgh. For a few years it was contract brewed in the old Rolling Rock brewery in Latrobe, Pa. but it never was not available in western PA.
IPA is still selling in 🏴🇬🇧 very nice 👍
Wiedeman was pretty good for the price, but I miss The Heileman Export the most!
Van Merritt, brewed in Chicago, good flavo, much like Heinekin.
Can you still get strohs?
No, Stroh's is GONE!
Still here in IN.
@ where? I’m in Indiana
