On Hiatus. Really. Or Not.
I remember my dad drinking his fair share of that stuff when I was growing up. Most of the time his beer of choice was Sterling. I haven't seen either of those in decades.
Schlitz showed up in the fridge often enough, too, and When I was younger, I knocked back my own fair share of it, too. That, and Carling's Black Label. I can't remember the last time I saw either of those either. Or any Old Milwaukee.

Maybe in honor of Tom we should dedicate this thread to all those classic brews that have disappeared from the shelves.

Former Congressman Mo Udall had a great joke about Billy Beer: I sent a sample out to the lab for analysis... Just got the report back... 'Mr. Udall, I'm sorry to inform you that your horse has diabetes.'

down south
I had Pearl when I was stationed in louseyana...and a beer called Jax. At that time (early '70s) I think they were both more of southern regional beers (both top sellers). Pearl tasted similar to PBR..and Jax like Budweiser to me.

Pearl is still around down in Texas. It was originally brewed in San Antonio, now in Ft. Worth, I think. Interestingly, Pearl bought out Pabst back in 85 and took the Pabst name.
Jax beer was out of New Orleans, but is no longer around.

Years ago I had Shaefer,Ballentine,Meister Brau and once took a case of Little Kings on a camping trip. I don't recall any of those tasting too bad at the time (however Meister Brau wasn't a favorite..if I remember correctly) and thought Little Kings were quite good iced down in the cooler.

A coughing fit? Must have had a sip of Coors!

Coors was a treat in our house in Indiana as it was not sold east of the Mississippi back then. My Dad had a friend that was a truck driver that did runs to the west coast who brought some back east a couple times a year.
