Dad’s Beer

The brands that my father and his friends used to drink were Hamm’s, Schlitz, Pabst Blue Ribbon, Olympia and Old Milwaukee. There were great marketing campaigns that went with these beers making them memorable even today. However these beers are little more then a brand names made in somewhere in America (like Irwindale, CA). We couldn’t verify that the original recipes were being used.

    Dispite what you guys think, this episode was AWESOME!
    Just hearing you guys mention colt 45 brought shivers down my spine though.
    I am still waiting for my Canadian Beer episode.
    If my funds allowed me to send you some of our finest I would, but being a lowly video editor in Canada doesn’t give you the perks you San Fran-cisconians-ites-ians get.
