Do they still make this, I never heard of it. I'd like to try it. Better beer is what I'm always looking for.

In the 1960s, Falstaff was the third largest brewer in America with plants situated from coast to coast. During the 1970s, however, fortunes began to decline as Falstaff fell victim to consolidation within the beer industry. In 1977 they were purchased by a California based holding company who also owned General Brewing (Lucky Lager). Assets from Pabst, Pearl, Olympia Brewing, and eventually Stroh's were later added to the fold. The Falstaff breweries were eventually closed and most of the equipment sent to China. The brand has been discontinued in 2005.http://www.falstaffbrewing.com/

Consolidation of the breweries brought an end to the local flavor of beers. You couldn't by Coors west of the Mississippi.

And now it's micro breweries the rage, I wouldn't be surprised to see Falstaff's return this way, it already happen with Schaeffer!
