Old Beer Names

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

How many can you name?
Guess it has to do what part of the country you come from, but my Dad always drank Schlitz or Falstaff or Black Label.
How about the slogans that went with them:
“Go for the Gusto” (was that Schlitz?)
“Hey, Mabel! Black Label!”

And then I remember one beer commercial that talked about the beer’s brewer: One “Papa Joe Griesedieck” I think that went with Schlitz but I can’t be sure. Anyway the brewer’s last name was jokingly the reason given for why the beer didn’t taste good.

Thanks

From the land of sky blue waters, Hamms.

In my head spinning around is, ‘Great gusto with a great, light, beer.’ Was that Schlitz Light? Could thre really have been a Schiltz light? I should know, My grandfather, father, 2 Uncles and my grandfathers 2 brothers worked there. I worked at the canning company in high school. Ah, growing up in Milwaukee.

we still have black label…

I believe there was indeed a Schlitz Light, endorsed by by none other than James Coburn.

“We climed the mountain because it was there, but we came back down for this.”

Or something like that.

My beer is Rheingold, the dry beer.
Ask for Rheingold, whenever you buy beer. . .

And then another ring, and then you’ve got three rings:

Look at it. It basically says, hey, knocking 'em back as fast as you can pop 'em open? Want something you can drink, even when you don’t want to drink any more? Here’s your beer!

I always loved that jingle.

From Brooklyn, NY:

Piel’s Lager, the Beer Drinker’s Beer!

“Fresh poured flavor…all the way down!”

Voiced by the cartoon characters Bert and Harry Piel, who were in turn voiced by Bob Elliott and Ray Goulding.

You can still get the stuff, too, if you look hard enough.

I’ve got a Ballantine bottle opener with the three rings on the side opposite the opener part.

The three rings are labeled ‘Purity’ ‘Flavor’ and ‘Body’.

How’s that for a trivia question?
