old milwaukee


About 20 years ago my wife worked for Boyd Coddington when American Hot Rod was on TV. One of the builds they did was for Old Milwaukee, a Bonneville Salt Flats car. They sent a pallet of Old Milwaukee & Old Milwaukee Light with them to the flats. They couldn't give the light beer away it was that bad.

The OG Michelob. Used to be a nice end of shift beer when I was working in restaurants.

Bubba’s 2 sports bar in Thibodaux had it on draft. $1.50 ffishbowls during happy hour.

Mid 90s had a neighbor that was a route salesman for the Miller dist. up here. He brought me Southpaw Light and what was supposed to be their new flagship beer "Miller" which had a red label. I remember not liking the Southpaw Light but loving the Miller but neither caught on and I never knew if they ceased to exist or just had some kind of regional availability.

Also not quite worthy of note but I'm gonna anyway... caught the classic "Saving Silverman" yesterday morning before the NFL games started. They were enjoying Icehouse and Red Dog.

Apparently, it's still made. I have not seen it in many, many years.

I couldn't tell you the last time I drank or saw anyone drink a new belgium beer.

They’ve got that whole line of IPA’s, like Voodoo Ranger, Juice Force, etc., that are pretty decent.

I think anyone who lived in the Midwest in the 70's might remember this one.



This one was very "crafty" for the 70's.

Everybody saying High Life. It seems more prominent and available now than it’s been in a couple of decades. It used to actually be hard to find. Now it’s sort of the hipsterish equivalent to PBR.


It has had a resurgence. I carry it for happy hour and move a couple cases a week
