Beers lookin' at you, kid... (AUDIO PODCAST)

Who's ready for a cold one? In this episode, I babble on (and on and on...) about all things beer. We're going to discuss old ad campaigns for some classic brews, make a case for watery Lager-style beers, and make a plea to keep fruit out of my bottle of suds.

Was the Hamm's Bear targeted towards the kiddies? Do you remember the jingle? "From the land of sky blue waters...." 

If she wasn't a Dodgers fan, I'd love her even more!  "When you're having more than one..."

A big caguama ("sea turtle") of Corona, and a fridge full of Coronitas. They don't sell the Familiar here in the States, only the Extra

    Remember this jingle and what beer it was for? "I've had beer from a pitcher and from a German mug. I've drank it from a paper cup, I've poured it from a jug. I've had beer mild, I've had beer bold, I drink it when ever I can, but a beer is a beer is a beer is a beer until you've tasted ....." My dad worked for 30 years in the breweries mostly at Burgie, but also at Hamms, and Lucky Lagers... That jingle? Another one from Hamms!

    Thanks for another trip down memory lane. Raised on beer, dad being a teamster and bottler for 30 years and love the history of beer, especially the ones in San Francisco. Remember the Lucky Lager beer and the pictured riddles on the bottle caps? Falstaff...that's my beer!!

    He mostly worked at Burgie, but he also worked at Hamms and Lucky Lagers....aahh, the good old days. Always had the Schlitz, Bergie and Hamms around the house...."Help yourself boys, but it stays in the house.

    Great one again...never disappoints.
