Anyone remember Griesedieck Beer, brewed in St. Louis, and a regional favorite? The name was pronounced "Greasy Dick" and ordering it was good for a laugh in saloons of the region. The Griesedieck Brothers produced three beers, Griesedieck, Stag, and Falstaff. In the early 1950's, Griesedieck sponsored the St Louis Cardinals baseball radio broadcasts with a young announcer, Harry Caray. The last Griesedieck brother died in 1955, and production under the Griesedieck label creased in 1957. In 1992, Raymond Griesedieck, a descendent of one of the original brothers, organized a new company, and started brewing Griesedieck beer again. The beer is available in St. Louis, but not distributed outside of the immediate area today.

My family owes its success to the Greisedieck Brothers. My grandparents were immigrants from Italy He was working in the coal mines of south central Illinois and he noticed that the miners would always stop for a shot and a beer before and after work for fifteen cents. He was shoveling coal 10 hours a day six days a week for less than 40 dollars a week. So he and a friend turned an old miners "shotgun house" into a bar and had it put on a flatbed wagon and hauled to a downtown lot. His partner left and by now grandfather had two boys and was walking from a house near the mine where he once worked to and from town that was three miles away. He decided to go to the Greisedieck Brothers for a loan to build a tavern with a three bedroom home on the top. In return he would agree to sell only their products until the loan was paid off. This was sometime before WWI and by 1921 he had three boys and had made enough money to take a 2nd class cabin on the Olympic, the only surviving sister ship of the Titanic, to Italy so his relatives could see how prosperous he was. When prohibition started he opened up a clothing store but had a speakeasy in the basement. A street wise customer would come in and ask for something in a size 42 men's suit, They were on the clothes rack that hid the basement door. He made enough money from that tavern to not only pay off the mortgage but put my father and two uncles through college during the Depression. My Dad became doctor, my uncle Leo an insurance executive, and my Uncle Jim a Lt. Colonel in the Air Force Reserve and a mortician. All of the five of the 6 grandkids have college degrees as do all of their great grandchildren. My grandparents operated the tavern from 1913 or so until his death in 1963 when my grandmother rented out the bar while still living in the apartment until her death in 1977 at the age of 93. The bar and grill is still in business and it is owned by a high schoo classmate of mine who proudly features a picture of my grandparents behind the bar serving my great- grandfather and some customers on the morning that prohibition ended. The bar and grill is called 'Lumpys" and is in Gillespie IL.

Because James Caan found out what a punk Gianni Russo really was as he was sexually harassing one of the actresses and she came and told Caan about it. So in the first take of the scene Caan really kicked the snot out of him, broke 2 of his ribs and chipped his tooth with the trash can/lid. After a week of recovery, Russo, after much coaxing by Coppola, agreed to shoot the re-take and again Caan really popped him and Russo was doing everything not to get hit again. The final take used was an edited mix of Russo and a stuntmen who had to be brought in as Russo refused to get hit by Caan anymore. if you watch again you will see the mile wide miss.

When the drinking age was 18 kids couldn't aford good beer thats why they did well. They were cheap beers that tasted cheap, but if you drank enough of them, they all tasted good.

Apparently boomers killed these brands. 1957 was the largest year of their births, and when they started buying beer they bought something else.

I want back Pete's Wicked Honey Wheat. I'll even settle for the exact recipe and I'll buy a beer-making kit to brew it myself. Injustice!

I used to work for a Beer distributor, I remember when Pete's went away. It hasn't been that long.

Where l lived you drank Genesee cans and you kept Pabst bottles in case you got company. I drank Hamms, Olympia returnable bottles and Rheingold, and in college I drank 40 Oz Blatz bottles. Koehler was what everyone drank at social functions like church picnic. My Uncle drank 32 Oz Dubois Budweiser. When he opened the bottle he threw the cap away.

Does anyone remember a beer that had wildlife scenes on their cans? I’m thinking it was Schmidt but I’m not certain. I never drank it, but my older brother had a beer can collection and they were my favorite.

Yes

Rams Head Ale, and Stegmaier.

My dad and uncles drank PBR, Schlitz and Stag.

I liked black label first beer I drank . In the 60s

I don't drink beer anymore but it seems like those Mexican beers are very good like Corona or Modelo because they advertise fairly often!!!

Note: National brands and push of watery beer [lights] Thank GOD for PBR
