Sheryl Crow sang about me in "A Change (Would Do You Good)" as did Ray Wylie Hubbard, Jerry Jeff Walker, and Bobby Bare in "Up Against The Wall, Redneck Mother". Cledus T. Judd also had a Falstaff tribute called "Hillbilly Honeymoon". Why even the great Hank Williams Sr. was enjoying a cold Falstaff Beer before he passed onto eternity.

I've been in a couple of movies: "Mississippi Burning", "Apocolypse Now", "Walk the Line", "My Own Private Idaho".

The best book about me is "The Falstaff Story" by Alvin Griesedieck but it's long out of print and hard to find. I also liked "The Pabst Brewing Company - The Story of an American Business".

Hakkımda:
Born in 1903 at the Lemp Brewery in Saint Louis, I was named after the Shakespearean character of Sir John Falstaff. The owners felt Sir John represented a joyful man who lived to "eat, drink, and be merry". The Lemps were financially ruined with the advent of National Prohibition, and the owner of the brewery committed suicide in his home in dispair.
So then I was sold to the Griesedieck family, who had also owned breweries in the area. During Prohibition, they marketed near beer and cured hams under my logo hoping that the law would eventually be repealed. I became a real beer again in 1933 and was the first one to receive a federal permit to be brewed again. I eventually enjoyed national distribution with breweries from coast to coast and become the #3 brand in the country during the 1960s.
However, by 1975 the Griesedieck family was also in severe financial trouble due to intense competition from megabrewers Bud, Schlitz, Miller, and Coors. I was sold to Paul Kalmanovitz, an asset stripper who became a multi-millionaire running down troubled breweries and sticking the profits in his pocket. Never mind that peoples' livelihoods and retirements were ruined in the process. Sigh.
Falstaff Beer carried on bravely until 2005, when low sales finally caused production to be stopped by Pabst. But hey, I managed to last for 30 years without any advertising and promotion. Not bad for somebody more than 100 years old.

Fellow travelers tired of Bud Light, Bud, Miller Light, MGD, Coors Light, and Corona. Aren't we Americans supposed to be rugged individualists? So how come everyone is trying so dadgumb hard to follow the crowd?

Even the founding fathers of our great country loved Falstaff

Tumble weeds scattered when the 15 Cent Wash came in-on the scene. It was the late 1960s. This was a time for new revolution. It may have been forgotten ... but only submerged behind the mind. New services were provided, and the people forgot; into bliss - The clothes were clean and dry.
