You forgot to mention Goebel & Ballantine, all 4 of those economy beers were under $1.00 for a 6-pack [[cans). Best tasting of the 4: Goebel hands down!Altes & Weidemann's [[sp) are the two cheap beers I remember. Both had a strong wheat taste to me, that never quite went away no matter how many you drank. Many bars featured a shell of either for 60 cents or so back in the 70's. Altes tall boys in a can were popular too. So was heading to the toilet.
Maybe it's been mentioned but I heard a rumor today that Jason Mamoa is building a brewery in an ex-GM plant in Pontiac.
That was the rumor back in 2014, but his people denied it.
From the article -
Well - THAT ship has sailed, hasn't it, Aquaman ?In terms of movies, Momoa said he is encouraged by the rise of Michigan's film industry and hopes he can shoot at least some scenes for "Aquaman" in The Mitten..
But aren’t all domestic mass produced beers with adjuncts tasteless? It’s mindboggling how many people think Bud Light is a great tasting beer.
This reminds me of a rare "visual" Dad Joke that my father used to demonstrate to make us young skulls full of mush laugh. So easily entertained!
CHARLES ATLAS: Dad would suck in his gut, and flex his muscles.
CHARLES ALTES: Dad would let out his gut and exaggerate it as much as possible to simulate a "beer belly" while slouching.
Ha Ha Ha! Worked every time!
Altes beer, what I describe as the Towne Club of Detroit beers, is getting a second life joining Strohs and Sanders in Detroit-nostalgia relaunches.

WOW This looks like a castle. Vintage Detroit architecture never ceases to amaze me.Designed by Mildner & Eisen. Tivoli Brewing Company Plant, 10131 Mack Avenue built in 1919 Detroit, MI.
Demolished: Date unknown to me
It appears that the center section was the addition designed by Mildner & Eisen.
Rendering from a 1910 edition of the Detroit Free Press.
I wish I could do a Sketchup or Microsoft 3-d on this photo, but I'm fifteen years past the sell by date.
Anybody else?
I remember sneaking a couple of my dads Altes beers and seeing the yeast still floating in the bottles. I think it was yeast?
