I'm kinda sorry I never had a chance to try a Falstaff Beer.

What's available today that is close to a match for it?

You didn’t miss much…

PBR

Been a real long time since I have had one of those.
Back in the 70's it was not my first choice, but if money was tight and it was on sell you do what you gotta do right

Now if it was cold and free, it was pretty darn good.

Isn't this the beer Dizzy Dean would drink during his broadcasts of baseball games and start singing songs?

That will get you a vacation.

Wasn't a bad beer, to me it was similar to Miller Lite in taste. I liked it.

I remember Stag being the worse beer back then. Had the best commercials though.

No such thing as a bad beer. As long as they are ice cold some are just a little better than others.

Space, I respectfully submit that you have not had the experience of drinking Falstaff. We would kill the first one just to help with the rest. But, at $.99 a six pack for bottles, and being broke college students, some weekends it was the only choice we had.

Falstaff and Jax were tough drink. At the time Schlitz was good but that changed also.

The worst beer ever was brown derby. Made by pearl and only sold at Safeway. Truly horrific, but cheap.

Deposit bottles

Yup, Every Saturday afternoon my brother and I would have to watch CBS game of the week and I remember him and Pee Wee Reese. Years later I was fortunate enough to meet his cousin. He talked about Dizzy doing the Falstaff commercials but being a firm Schlitz drinker. His cousin looked amazing like Dizzy but not nearly as flamboyant a personality.

We're gettin old! Bet not many on here remember that far back.

Yes sir, cold and free, it was good beer. But if I were buying it, I’d look for something else if I could afford it

Oertel's 92 and Griesedieck Bros. was better than Falstaff.

PBR is way better than Falstaff

Jake my first beer experience was a quart of Falstaff and a bag of potato chips for lunch in 1963. I was 16 and had made it as a varsity starting defensive back as a sophomore. The senior’s on the team took me to my first “liquid” lunch. It and Stag was all we could afford back then.

Space, since you are a year older than I am, you must know what you are talking about.

First beer I ever had a drink of (Falstaff) Was about 6 years old sitting on my Grandfathers lap after they just harvested their crop of corn. A wash tub full of ice and Longnecks. around 1971 remember it well

Grew up in Ill, I remember dad icing a case of Falstaff down when we headed to the Wabash river. That was probably 64

Yup. Old Milwaukee is close to Falstaff.

Down Flour Bluff way outside Corpus Christi, over 60 years ago, Dad and Uncles would meet at a local Bar to shoot the Chit about twice a month. Me and the Cousins would go with them and play on the Beach outside. We would run by and grab a swig off the Parent's.beer as it was always hot and smoking Saturday Afternnon.,,, (Falstaff) They would tell us kids,,,"Don't you dare tell your Mom". It was better than a coke at the time. Of course they were Full Blooded Germans and raised that way. Good memories for sure.

Old Milwaukee, Falstaff, Heidelberg, Schlitz, Pabst were all our beer choices while on a budget in high school in mid to late 80s and in college. Taste sucked but as said, if cold tolerable for sure. If the budget got slightly bigger, we'd upgrade to a poor boy's Silver Bullet, Schaeffer's. Think they were Coors' generic version.
