As a kid, I likes the Hamms beer commercial with the bear. "From the land of sky blue waters..."
OK you old men, remember Olympia Beer & the dots on the back???

Coors winterfest in bottles (no, not baby bottles) which was only sold during the winter unfortunately 
. Better than regular coors/colors lite. I don't think it's produced any?

Hamms on tap was pretty good actually. My Dad sold that too. I had a fair amount of Hamms gear.
Btw, If you have ever driven by the Oly brewery note that they did have natural spring water running under an archway of the building itself. The problem was that water was "filtered" through the cemetery on top of the hill overlooking the place.

How did Rainier beer become legendary? Three Tacoma filmmakers tell the tale
"Rainier: A Beer Odyssey" tells the story of Rainier's iconic advertising campaign and the way the brand was shaped by Seattle of the 70s and shaped the city in return. The documentary premiers at SIFF May 13.

I’m only 68 so not sure if I qualify for the “old men” title. But I was raised in a Czech family so we were allowed to drink beer before we were allowed to drink coffee 
. Never drank Olympia though, but consumed enough Pearl, Falstaff and LoneStar to float a battleship. These days I tend to lean toward micro IPA’s in a frosty mug.

True or not I don't know, but in the 70's, I heard that Coors would only ship in refrigerated trucks.Coors winterfest in bottles (no, not baby bottles) which was only sold during the winter unfortunately

AT my first duty station which was shore duty, My buddy and I would hot the gym for two hours, then drive just off base and each buy a cheap quart of ice cold Columbia beer and down them. Don't know if it was because we were hot and thirsty, but they tasted great and talk about a quick buzz! Goofy yoots we were.

All you guys must have been born with a silver spoon in your mouths! Drinking all those artsy fartsy beers! As an underage kid, we were happy just to be able to drink Old Milwaukee or Grain Belt Beer! I used my school lunch money to buy beer as a kid. Nothing fancy or expensive in those days.

We went golfing at a great course that only sold Coors. I miss that course, but we never went back. We went to courses that sold beer instead.
What i can't figure out is how they can take pisswater and make a Coors Lite out of it.

My dad made home brew once. Smelled like a skunk and tasted like it smelled.
YuckOlympia and Coors banquet beer.
no idea we drank that stuff. It was inexpensive and avaiable. At 18 guess we didn't care
