Author Message greencat General User Member Since: 3/12/2005 Post Count: 2,237 Status: Offline     Something else I saw.....    Posted: 12/6/2021 12:00:26 PM  I recently saw this on another school's sports blog. quote with redactions as needed: "I just heard a radio spot saying (xxxx xxx) Vodka is the official vodka of (xxxxxxxxxx) basketball. Really? Why not Acapulco Gold, the official pot of (xxxxxxxxx) basketball. Or, name your poison." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thus the debate on which one has caused more misery and destruction. (but might consider alcohol is legal/available most places and weed is not) And... is it wrong for a school sports team to take alcohol $$$. Was the rugby or soccer team not sponsored by Stroh's at Ohio in the late 70's? I can't recall which team it was but one had the Stroh's logo on their warmup jackets, IIRC. Maybe I'll sit this one out and let you guys beat each other up over it. LOL!

Knowing they are a past supporter of OHIO athletics, I guess I will increase my purchasing! I've seen crazier things happen.

Should they have been required to put an asterisk by the logo stating: >>> 3.2 only <<< And if you don't know what that means, you were either not born yet or were not living somewhere in Ohio. We dodged 3.2 in favor of 6 as much as possible but on Sundays... wasn't 3.2 all the stores were allowed to sell?

On Sunday nights guys used to drive out of town to a place, I believe it was called Club 33 to drink. The old Club 33 on old Rt. 33 between Athens and Chauncey was quite a place and was an institution of sorts for generations of Ohio students. I remember that my Uncle Russell, a student here both before and after WWII, frequented that establishment with his girl friend -- and not just on Sundays. Alas, it is no more. The building still stands, but has been many things in recent years, one of which was a used car dealership. It's something else now, but I can't remember exactly what.

Knowing they are a past supporter of OHIO athletics, I guess I will increase my purchasing! The Stroh's brand is now owned by a firm in China I believe. If you're looking for a great read, pick up "Beer Money," written by a great-granddaughter of the founder of Stroh Brewery. Describes how the family squandered its fortune in a relatively short period of time.

Bargain Billy’s Auction House Back to Top greencat General User Member Since: 3/12/2005 Post Count: 2,237 Status: Offline     RE: Something else I saw.....    Posted: 12/8/2021 4:09:05 PM  On November 13, 2014, Pabst announced that it had completed its sale to Blue Ribbon Intermediate Holdings, LLC. Blue Ribbon is a partnership between Russian-American beer entrepreneur Eugene Kashper and TSG Consumer Partners, a San Francisco–based private equity firm. (Wik) So, nobody has an opinion on the original question. Interesting. That's what I get for waxing nostalgic re: 1970's Ohio. ** I never saw a drive-thru beer store until I got to Ohio.

Bargain Billy’s Auction House That's it! I've driven by it several times recently, but I just couldn't remember that name. I could have passed a multiple-choice test on it though! ;-) Thanks!

(who also ended up owning most of the old brands that were under the Schlitz umbrella because Stroh's had previously purchased Schlitz and its brands). https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB918501125320827500 Back to Top Showing Replies:   1 - 12  of 12 Posts Jump to Page:   1 View Other 'General Ohio University Discussion/Alumni Events' Topics                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               WHO'S ONLINE There are 626 Active Visitors on BobcatAttack.com 624 Guests 2 Registered Users:   Deciduous Forest Cat, Andrew Ruck There are no other users looking at this page.
