Is it just Milwaukee nostalgia or is it a worthwhile effort.

I believe the dancing bear was Hamm's beer - "From the land of sky blue waters. From the land of pines, lofty balsams, comes the beer, refreshing. Hamm's the beer, refreshing. - - - HAMM'S!"

I wear a Schlitz hockey jersey at practice.  The beer that made Milwaukee famous!

Schlitz was all they sold on-tap at both NTC and SubBase San diego. Hated the stuff and swore I'd never drink it again when I became old enough to drink off-base. I've kept that promise.

Having spent my youth on the streets of South Chicago, we took our beer wherever we could - sometimes even literally.

Except for Schlitz, that is. Even us Chicago street kids had some class. That stuff was almost undrinkable, so I have to wonder what in hell it could have possibly contributed to Milwaukee's fame. Ugh! Tasted like slimy green grass that a cow had just taken a ..... well, you get the picture.

Only two beers rate more UGH!s [according to my delicate palet, of course] -- Blatz (also a Milwaukee beer) and the undisputed king of UGH! -- Jax Beer - guaranteed to be aged excatly for as long as it takes to get from New Orleans to your barstool. That stuff belongs on the hazardous material list for sure.

Now, if any of you doubt me, go visit Whalen -- he'll open his fridge and hand you a cold --- Jax. He ran out of Blatz last September.

HEY!  my favorite beer is that good catholic brew, St Roh's....

When in NO, I have a muffaletta and an Abita from Central Grocery....

You have to remember my beer taste was developed from drinking Tudor Beer (sold at finer A&P supermarkets for 58 cents per six pack...)...

I guess you NLON guys never had the pleasure of sipping Iron City Beer, brewed in Pittsburgh. I believe it was one of the first to use flip top openers and the beer tasted like it was filtered through the slag heaps outside a foundry.

But when it costs about $2.00 a case it was like liquid gold....Ahhhhh!

That's the best discription Of Iron City Beer ever, Joe. Now Genesee Beer out of Buffalo was a tad or two better.
