Hey, does anyone remember Brew 102 or was that a regional thing? The brewery was right off the Hollywood (101) Fwy. in downtown LA but closed sometime in the '80's. I remember the slogan "you can pay more, but you can't buy a better beer than Brew 102."
Or how about Burgie from Burgermeister and the Burgie Man? My father-in-law always offered me those.

Don't know if these were local to Michigan or not: Remember E & B and Sebewaing (sp?) ? Got though some time at Fort Carson Colorado with "Mile High" from Denver. It was $2.69 a CASE and tasted like it, but it had the desired effect.

I remember Pabst Blue Ribbon, Ballantine and Rheingold. I was raised in NYC and the Ruppert Brewery occupied one square block about 14 blocks from where I lived. If the wind was right...... Jacob Ruppert owned the Yankees at the time. I'm trying to remember some others. What a trip down memory lane.

I have had plenty of the ol Brown Derby. I remember it had a joke in the bottom of the cans so you always had to carry a flashlight for those late nights -- I bet I lost a ton of flashlights. I always wondered something, when Keystone beer came out they claimed it had a special coating in the can that gave it "bottle beer taste in a can" well why do they make it in bottles now?

Schlitz was still around a couple of years ago, Have to go to the "bad side of town to get it" ALot of those old time beers are market toward vagrants. Too bad they are great beers. Bye the way the best beer I ever drank was a white generic can beer - which I believed to be falstaff. Got to love a cheap beer....
