Americans love their beer, and it's a big industry with a long history. But over time, there are always winners and losers in this competitive market. Some beers that were once extremely popular have simply fallen out of favor and vanished, never finding their way back into a bottle, can, or keg. So, these are the vintage beer brands that are sadly missed.

My dad was in WWII and a big farmer in South Alabama. He always kept a small cooler either on the tractor or combine he was on with a 6 pack of Falstaff beer. As I was growing up from the 50's and 60's with my Dad. I would be in the fields with him on a different tractor. And at the end of a hot summer day my Grandpa WWI would meet us at a pond we had with his cane fishing pole and a can of worms. And he usually brought more Falstaff with him. We would park our tractors, and get under a big old live oak tree near the pond. And my Dad would look at me and say, "sport there is nothing any better than smelling fresh turned dirt, sitting under this tree and a good cold beer. Here have one with me. Just don't tell momma!" I'm 69 now and O' how I still miss thoes days and especially my Dad and Grandpa. They will always be my heroes.

@jacksons1010 7 месяцев назад

Schlitz was even #1 ahead of Anheuser-Busch back in the 1950’s. Bad management destroyed the brand: going into the ‘70’s they skimped on ingredients (corn syrup instead of malted barley!?!) and added some chemicals to try and fake the quality - they got caught. A disastrously bad advertising campaign accelerated the declining sales and workers who hadn’t had a raise in years went on strike, killing the company.

@EricT3769 7 месяцев назад

Haha. I remember in the early 70s running around the yard at my grandparents’ house and the old folks sitting outside drinking Schlitz. I stopped and asked my grandpa for a sip. He told me I wouldn’t like it, but I wanted to try it anyway and he let me. He was right. Lol. Sometime around 2010 I was in downtown Baton Rouge and stopped and ate at a place called Schlitz & Giggles. The dough for my pizza was made with Schlitz beer. Actually wasn’t bad.

@willhorting5317 7 месяцев назад

The first beer that I ever snuck sips of when I was around 3 or 4 years old, was Old Milwaukee. My dad was gone from Monday -Thursday every week, working construction. Many times, a couple of his coworkers would park at our house and ride to the job with my dad. And sometimes, when they would get back to our house on Thursdays, they all would stand around and split a 6-pack with dad, before they left. And sometimes, when my mom wasn't looking, my dad would sit his bottle down where I could reach it...with just the last little bit of beer left in it. And I would pick it up and drink it. Of course, to keep appearances up, Dad would pretend to "scold me" for doing it. But I have no doubt that he intentionally sat the bottles where I could reach them. Remember, I am talking about decades ago that was a MUCH different time, (socially), than the way it is today. I remember...... ... Falstaff ... Hamm's ... Meister Brau, but didn't know it became Miller Lite. ... Olympia ... Billy Beer, but absolutely never tried it.😂

@elizabethweistrop2369 7 месяцев назад

I was around 5 or 6, in the early 1950s in New York City. Rheingold advertised on the radio with a very catchy tune and lyrics. I learned the song by heart, and the words. One day my mother and I were out and she ran into an older lady she knew. Since I was very proud of knowing the Rheingold song, I enthusiastically sang it there, out on the street. As we walked away, my mother said to me, tersely, “It is not nice for little girls to sing songs about beer!” I always remember that. And I remember the words to this day.

I was stationed in Bremerton, Washington in the early 70's. Olympia was a favorite beer for that area and my roommate was a dedicated fan of that beer. He began collecting labels from the Olympia "long-neck" bottles, labels that had four stars on the "inside" of the label. When asked what that was all about, he told me that if he collected 100 of them and sent them into the Olympia headquarters, they'd reward him by sending him a case of Olympia Long Necks. Of course that turned out to be false, but on the other hand, he did receive a letter from the Olympia Brewery, along with a case of Long Necks. In the letter, they explained that the stars were simply an internal tracker to show which brewery had produced the beer. The case of beer that they sent along with the label though was a special thank you for his being such a dedicated fan of their beer.

They had a few varieties, including a dark that wasn't quite a stout but still had a nice earthy malty richness to it and an ale that didn't veer off into the hop insanity that the microbreweries that were all the rage in the 90s instigated with the glut of IPAs, but still had that hoppy bite you associate with a proper ale. Sadly, Weinhard's was bought out by Stroh's in the late 90s, and then resold to MillerCoors, who discontinued it in 2021. I cried a little over that. 😢 RIP Henry's.
