Beer of the 1960s
Thinking back to the time when I had my first beer, I remember the disgusting taste and how much I hated it. I thought beer would NEVER be my choice of drinks. I will stick to my Pepsi or RC Cola. Of course we had to be macho and I pretended to enjoy it as my friends who took their first sip probably were thinking the same thing. I remember my first beer was a Blatz beer. I ran around with a high school friend who was 2 years older than the rest of us. Being 18 he could buy beer which was common in those days. All you needed was your draft card as I recall. My first night with a beer had a miserable outcome. I got dizzy and sick. All this took place at the drive-in movie. When a couple of us went to the restroom to take care of the beer problem, our so called beer buying friend moved the car on us and it seemed like we were looking for that car all night stumbling around and laughing. I vowed never to drink another beer, of course that lasted until the next time. Now beer is my preferred drink. I guess you had to acquire the taste or wait until the beer dulled your taste buds, nonetheless I enjoy my beer now and then. I was thinking back to the 1960s and all the innocent mishchief we got ourselves into, when I thought about that night and decided to build a page dedicated to the memory of the beer of the 60s. The beer you see here are the actual cans shown from the 60s that needed a "church key," to open the can. What was neat about the chuch key is that they had a bottle opener on the other end. No flip tops back in the 60s although, I think the first flip top came into being in late 1969. Enjoy viewing the pics of the beer of the 60s. Listed are the ones I recall in the Ohio area so if you want me to promote your beer of the 60s just leave me a message in my guest book and I will do the research and add your beer to the site.
I had to throw in these old bottles of beer. I forgot to mention, my Blatz beer I first drank was a quart bottle. It was common then to drink right out of a quart bottle. Always "lets go to the store and pick up a quart." Bottle Openers
