Million barrel brewers in 1964
Somebody posted this on facebook and I found it interesting considering how times have changed. Falstaff was near the top and is no longer brewed. Down at the very bottom.. Jackson... known and marketed as Jax came out of New Orleans and had a rice base. No longer existing as a brand but their home several story building is still there and thriving with different commercial establishments on the edge of the French Quarter.

I wouldn't be surprised if Carling Black Label and Falstaff production went up in the next few years as we got a lot
of those brands in Nam, probably since they were cheap.
#15. Olympia made more than I thought, as they were a mostly Pacific NW brand, like Rainier. Olympia was a very weak tasting
beer and the local joke was calling Olympia "Sex on the sand" as they both were 'fucking near water'. ...

Peace is that brief, quiet moment in history.......... when everybody stands around reloading.

In Vietnam in 1970 we never saw the Bud or Schlitz. We got a lot of Pabst and Carling and Ham's "land of the sky blue waters" and other lower level beer. The "premium" brands never made it to the bottom level of the supply chain.
Before Vietnam I remember one college winter "break" period when a bunch of us had rented two houses at the beach, one for the girls in those more proper days, and a couple of us stopped at a package store on the way down. Probably about 1967. I was the only one, of the two of us, old enough to buy beer and I went in to see what was on sale. I brought back a case of Carling. Talk about being cursed for buying skunk beer. I'll never forget it. It didn't bother me much since I had a bottle of Ezra Brooks tucked away with my clothes satchel. My fraternity brother still paid for his half case.
