Dave, Around "Baw'lmer" (That's really Baltimore, MD. to the
uninitiated)(unintoxicated?) we just calledt it "BO".

Do you remember:
"Mabel........ Black Label! .. Carling's Black Label Beer."

Who were Bert and Harry??

And how about a "greasy-dick?"

Bob,

I don't know how to break this to you, but you got it backwards.
The nickname for the one-eyed mascot on the label was 'Old Bo',
so that would be "OB".

Regards,

David

Nope. The mascot's name was Chester Pete.

And how about:

"Old Frothingslosch, the beer so light that the head is on the bottom"

The cans had some very (not) attractive girls on the side, as I
recall. Came out of Pennsylvania, I believe.

Hey guys, what about "My beer is xxxxxxxxx the dry beer ......" And
who sang it?

O-ring

Conceived by early morning radio personality, Rege Cordic in Pittsburgh
about 1954! Actually brewed and sold by the Pittsburgh Brewing Company (
Iron City, Sam Adams, etc.)

Well, we've finally gotten to the heart of the matter. A topic of
interest to all.

Maybe it should be Wreck.aviation.homebrew

I'll see if I can get a .wav file of the Ga Tech Oompah rendition. My
son was pumping me for lyrics so the band could sing the words instead
of just blatting out the notes. Some things don't change in college I
guess. (To the Bud theme)

By popular demand (expressed by meaningful silence) I'll share the
Blatz lyrics. (These days, when you hear "BLATTss" it's BWB's chili
talking, but back then it was a fairly decent beer.)

I'm from Milwaukee, and I oughta know,
It's Blatz, Blatz, Blatz beer,
Wherever ya go.
Smoother, fresher(?), less filling that's clear:
Blatz is Milwaukee's finest beer.

Damned if I can be sure of that one word. Those brain cells are just
gone.

And I'm not too OLD to drink. Just too smart, and if you had met most
of my family, you'd understand. Some of them made BWB look like a
Yuppie by comparison.

I am also a Baltimoron and we called it 'National Bo'.
I was not old enough to drink it but my father was.
