I know Western New York pretty well. As underage kids (of age was 18) we would buy 1/2 kegs of Schmidts from a distributor who worked out of an old
barn out in the country.
Also "Hey Mable, Black Label"
I know I've drank more beer than water in my life.

Schaefer beer sponsored the Dodgers in their Brooklyn days. The Giants were sponsored by Knickerbocker. And the Yankees were sponsored by Ballentine.
Back in those days, there was no proscription against showing people actually drinking alcoholic beverages on TV. It used to be a hoot to watch a
Yankees doubleheader. Between every inning, there was a live Ballentine commercial that consisted of the play by play announcer taking a churchkey to
a can of beer, pouring it, and quaffing it. Legendary Yankees announcer Mel Allen was also a legendary alcoholic. By the middle of the second game, it
was more than obvious in his call of the game.

BajadanDi, I would have to agree 100% that the Brew 102 was probably the worst beer I ever tasted. But what does a 14 yo kid in the mid fifties know
about beer tasting. It got us all drunk and made us laugh and thats what counted. Will never forget the headaches we all got from that weasel pee. How
did we survive??? ++C++

Growing up in LA I became very friendly with Brew 102. Without commenting on its quality, I do have an academic question. I seem to remember that
there was some significance to the number "102", other than it was the brew selected right after 101 other brew recipes were tried. Does anyone
remember this and know the answer?
carpe diem!

Beats me. But their brewery was located right on the 101. So much so, the freeway made a jog around the building. Could be that the 102 was tied into
the 101.

Ken... You are corect about the 102 name. They used advertise it on early morning T.V. shows. KTLA ?... Unfortunately its just been to many years and
I cannot recall. And as an old add man told me " Its all about marketing" and that is why RHEINGOLD won the battle. A sexy good looking German pastry
lady on the can with european like Rheine name paired up with GOLD!!! Your subconscience didn't have a chance. And remember St. Pauli Girl??? I
remember Bush Bavarian coming along and displacing Brew 102.. Wasn't much better tasting beer either. ++C++
