8. Surprised it lasted that long. Awful stuff. (nt)

[AZSkiffyGeek]

2. Foul Stuff

I had a friend in college whose dad worked for Falstaff and used to get cases of that swill.

[Atticus]

4. It was "nectar" compared to Blatz! nt

[AZSkiffyGeek]

11. Never got to experience Blatz, although I remember the name

[Atticus]

12. It was cheap. We did quart bottles in college. nt

[Hassler]

3. GB? Grain Belt? If so I remember trying it once in Twin Cities.

Turns out it was 3.2 beer, so it tasted awful and wouldn't get me drunk.

9. Griesedieck Brothers brewery, St. Louis. nt

[Arkansas Granny]

19. I grew up in Missouri and remember seeing Griesedieck Brothers advertising

painted on buildings in downtown Joplin.. As I recall, it was pretty much a regional product and there was some rivalry with Anheuser-Busch.

5. Remember Falstaff sponsored baseball games called by Dizzy Dean and Pee Wee Reese.

6. I remember Falstaff.

When I was a kid, I remember seeing those signs along the road. Back then, just about every little juke joint in Mississippi had one of those signs out front.

7. Remember the first two...I had a six pack of Billy Beer I saved for a few years...gone now....nt

10. I remember both Falstaff and Grain Belt.

Grain Belt was stump water. My dad drank Pfiffer, or Hamms if he wanted good beer. 😵‍💫

13. Got drunk on two Falstaff tall boys when I was 14.

First beer buzz. I think we had to use a can opener. Pop tops? In our tree fort. 1966.

14. How about Hop'n Gator?

15. And Blatz

My first beer was a Blatz.
The pool Hal had Blatz on tap. If you went in the back room, which was really the front room, but closed off from the rest of the bar, you could get a 5 oz Blatz for a quarter when you were 16. Only one per day.

16. I remember Pfieffer in the big GIQ bottles

Genesee beer and Carlings Black label. There used to be a very cheap beer that had little reebuses under the cap but I can’t remember the name. Old frothingschloss

17. Funny how all my fond memories of beer brands...

…came from listening to ads years before I was old enough to drink. Then I discovered that, unlike Brett Kavanaugh, I didn’t like beer, period.

[bahboo]

18. Falstaff...Amercia's Premium Quality Beer....

Harry Caray when he did the White Sox. Pretty bad....but useful in a pinch. Used to happily drink quarts of Blatz. In LaCrosse, they didn't drink Old Style....most drank Blatz. Anti home team I guess....

20. Sure do on the first two.

But Anheuser Busch gave out free samples during the tours. This was an in your face to the competition and even if you were tipsy you could smell your way to the AB brewery for miles around.

21. Think my parents supported one Falstaff factory by themselves

[Sneederbunk]

22. Storz and Jax?

[House of Roberts]

23. Falstaff used to be available in a little aluminum keg.

It had the same amount of beer as a case. I used to keep one in my folks' basement in an old refrigerator. It wasn't bad considering it was almost the only draft beer you could get. My dad would get him a taste of it every now and then when he had a steak to go with it. You'd have thought it was the greatest gift I ever gave him, just having it around. He used to drink Sterling in the days before I came along. Him and Mom would go to the drive in theatre with some Sterling and a barbecued chicken.

24. Never been a beer drinker.

However, I do remember commercials for both Falstsaff and Stag. The latter did commercials featuring Mr. Magoo.

[canuckledragger]

25. No, but I'm old even to remeber relatives drinking from stubbies
