Retro beer marketing

I remember a Pennsylvania beer called Ortlieb's. My dad always drank it when I was a kid.
Seems like the brand expired, was revived and expired again. Hope I get to try it if the brand is ever revived again.

Ever tried this one, Dave? What did you think of it?

Cheers!

Luna it was wonderful Beer and I drank alot of it! I also knew Henry Ortlieb the 3rd before he died a couple of Years ago He had the Old Sunny Brook Ballroom in Pottstown and was just making it go and was craft brewing there and had a full German food menu. I had his German susage Platter at the time four different Kinds it was wonderful and with Beer to die for.

He went for his first vacation in many yrs and died sudenly on Vacation. He was a really cool guy and had a special receipy Brich Beer that went with him when he died. It was so good people would drive up from Delaware to get it!
The only Ortlieb that I think is still living is his cousin Joe in NJ who tired to save the Family Brewery In Phila yrs ago.
I wish someone would recreat Ortliebs Back in the Day I drank Ortliebs and Good Old Schmidts both made in Phila every Day!

Time to promote a site I made years ago: www.PfeifferBeer.com The "Giant that scared Stroh's" from Michigan. Haven't updated in years, but the history section is what I'm proudest of.

I read it over last Autumn, great stuff.
I have been in the beer buisness one way or another since my first job at 15 years old.
I was a dishwasher at a resturant and part of my duties was to keep the beer stocked in the bar.
After that other retail jobs involving beer and the last 32 years in the beer wholesale end of it.

But the point I was going to make was that I found your site nostalgic, I remember all those old brands from MI.
