Sam Adams Octoberfest back in my local grocery store yesterday.

 

Long hot day branding but it went well:

 

“I branded all those cattle, and all you have is light beer”?! Hopefully I’m not the only one old enough to remember those commercials. Great picture.

 

Remember the "It's no downstream beer."

 

Or the Jax and Fabacher commercials with Andrew Jackson?

 

I'm only sixty. Don't remember that one at all!

 

Late 60s and early 70s. I'm 58 and remember them. I remember the cigarette commercials too!

 

I was living in Scotland early 70s Only the BBC 1 and 2 and no commercials.

 

Dave, I'll take your word for it that it went well. But there's no doubt that it ended well!

 

Jax beer?! Man, that goes back a ways. I don’t remember the Andrew Jackson commercial. It was brewed in New Orleans, not sure how much national distribution it had. It was definitely a “downstream beer” ha ha.

 

On vacation away from home, so I'm trying some beers local to where we're staying. This Keweenaw Red Jacket is that brewery's Oktoberfest - it's good!

It'll take you a couple of those to set you on your feet again.

 

I'm only one man, doing what I can, as long as it takes. Oh, it seems to be taking eff . . . .
