Growing up in KS 60s - parents drank Grain Belt beer. And a bargain brew was called Metz. We schemed under age to get Colt 45 Malt and get
sick-bombed.
KS had 18 age legal bars that sold only 3.2 beer. a friend used to sit at the end of one, on the bar, where there was a small elec fan to help cool in
hot summers. He'd bite into a ripe pickled egg and hold 1/2 up to the fan - the smell would carry down the bar and patrons would yell at him. Very
funny back then. Definitely made one gassy.
I went to high school in Casper WY where they also let teens drink but I think it was 19 years old. 3.2 also. One night we got stopped in my car,
been drinking, 4 or 5 teens in the car and the cop told us to pour out the beer and drive straight home. I must have complied because I am alive
today but I seem to remember taking a few hours to drive home. Good thing the cop didn't see us later. Stupidity.
Wow, I barely bring back the memory of that commercial. Must be from about 1960 I'm guessing. It's so fantastic to live in the age of instant
research tools. Thanks wessongroup.
Falstaff, Hamms, Olympia... I think there are reasons some beers fall by the wayside. Namely, taste.
Pickled eggs with the juice from a can of jalapenos sounds like the ticket...not so fond of the sugary beet base.
My favorite old American beer on tap is/was Rainier but you have to pretty far north to find it anymore.

Must still be around as that is all Walt Longmire will drink.
Saw Rainier in cans at Food for Less in Bend, OR a few years ago but last time on tap was in Missoula, MT, most places had it. Favorite spot was
Luke's Bar and Grill....brains and eggs with a few mugs of Rainier---breakfast of champions!

Reigold beer from New York.
Bob hope was one of their spokesmen and they had an annual Miss Reingold contest. This was their jingle:
"My beer is Rheingold the dry beer.
Think of Rheingold whenever you buy beer.
It's not bitter, not sweet, it's the extra dry treat --
Won't you try extra dry Rheingold beer?"

Did your Hoffman have a yellow tinted screen?
The Hoffman with the tinted screen was caller Hoffman Easy Vision. We had one of the first 21in.Easy Visions in the Neighborhood.

The Lucky Lager / Fisher brewery (in Salt Lake City of all places!) closed down long ago. Lucky Bock was a good beer around Easter time. Hamms I
dunno; that and Schlitz were the only 2 beers sent out to us in the boonies on re-supply; no wonder there was a lot of pot smoking; going on!
Could be worse... could have warm Milwaukee's Best ....
I'd give my left ___ for a case of Heilemann's Special Export!
Back in the 70s I would buy Lucky Lager for $2.00 per 12 pack. The inside of the caps had a puzzel.

Heilemann's Special Export...??? Sounds like a German call girl but I'm guessing it's beer.
My memory of weekends buying beer was about $3 something for a 24 case. We (the carload of guys) chose the brand by the cheapest cost. I do
remember buying Mickey's big mouth when we had an extra fiddy cent.

Pickled brains?
or do you mean the drunk you were chatting with at the bar?
LOL....naw, fresh cow brains thrown on the griddle with scrambled eggs....my Montana friend's recommendation.
Made a batch of pickled eggs yesterday---couldn't get them off my mind after reading this thread---eggs, a 16 oz can of Jalapenos con Escabeche,
onions, spices, enough white vineger to finish covering everything. Oh, and about a dozen Thai chiles from the garden---these are gonna be some
zippy pickled eggs!
