• That beer "Have a Duke" brings back memories of drinking the smooth one as a teenager, listening to the Dukes with Ray Goss and John Signa on'WJAS' (NT) -- PHILLDOGG, Tuesday, July 27, 09:18:38am
  • I remember looking out my dorm room window in St. Martins when I was a freshman and seeing the Have A Duke clock on the South side an realizing I was late for class. I loved the beer, but the clock had bad memories. (NT) -- CLK, Tuesday, July 27, 09:26:53am
    • I lived by that clock. I've only been back once in 35 years; the clock is not there anymore, is it? (NT) -- Shushurara, Tuesday, July 27, 10:58:25am

• Nellie King used to do beer commercials between innings of Pirate games. These commercials were for Iron City Beer. Nellie got carried away during one commercial when he said "You can have an Iron City anytime, while watching TV, while barbecueing in your back yard, or in your car." We all had a good laugh because we knew he didn't mean the last one. (NT) -- Bilgy, Tuesday, July 27, 09:57:34am
  • Until just a few years ago drinking while driving was completely acceptable in some western states such as Texas and Wyoming. In fact in Wyoming in the 1990s you could buy cups of draft beer at drive through windows at convenience stores. (NT) -- Paddy, Tuesday, July 27, 10:23:35am
    • there's a place in Key West where you can get a quart of draft beer in a milk carton. They put a staple in the spout so it's considered "sealed". (NT) -- Irish STH, Tuesday, July 27, 02:51:15pm
  • Did you ever drive to intramural football on the southside without a brown bag in the car? At LaSalle was always a case of beer in the back seat of Fresca's camaro, the NIT's meant two cases. (NT) -- Shushurara, Tuesday, July 27, 11:02:02am
  • and I believe in New Orleans (Gommorah on the Mississippi) there are still drive-through margarita and daquri stands) (NT) -- Tejas Duke, Friday, August 13, 10:58:51am

• how many of you guys remember prohibition? Its cool seeing many generations covered on this board, from students to what appears to be folks in their....90s? :-) (NT) -- Seen on Miltenberger St, Tuesday, July 27, 04:04:09pm
  • Prohibition did a number on many of the bars out West. For instance, the bar at the Crystal Palace in Tombstone (where the Earps and Doc Holliday gahtered before the OK Corral) is not original. The original was torn out during prohibition. The original was shipped from New York to San Francisco because the Panama Canal was not yet built. I think the same may be true for the bar at the Bidcage Theater just down the street from the Crystal Palace. (NT) -- Bilgy, Tuesday, July 27, 04:37:30pm
  • Was that a shot? I think most of the folks on this thread are of my era, we remember Mickey Davis playing on a freshman team and 20 cent drafts at Frank and Wallys. Happy 60th birthday to each of us, none of whom remember prohibition. (NT) -- Shushurara, Tuesday, July 27, 04:38:09pm
    • lighten up Francis. (NT) -- Seen on Miltenberger St, Tuesday, July 27, 09:29:07pm
  • The real trick was getting beer into the arena... -- Mike Ignelsi, Tuesday, July 27, 04:40:46pm
  • My Father is 88, so he was 11 when the Volstead Act was repealed. He recalls his dad making home brew beer in Sharpsburg, also they never had a shortage of corn liquor up in Cambria County where Grandpap was from originally. People forget about Prohibition that it was only illegal to transport or sell it. You couuld still (HA HA) make your own for your own use. (NT) -- Tejas Duke, Friday, August 13, 11:01:41am

• Stopped by local beer dist. last night and owner said he is getting Duquesne Beer in around the 16th or Aug. Said it will be $16.99/case. Bottles. Not bad price. (NT) -- Seen on Miltenberger St, Thursday, July 29, 04:33:00pm
  • Finally, a price that a Duquesne graduate can afford. (NT) -- Pgh Pete, Friday, July 30, 06:50:14am
    • Hey Pete, what's a quart of Colt 45 (the offcial drink of the Pitt Panthers) going for these days, including the requisite paper bag so you can walk around drinking it? How's your job with Howard Stern going? -- El Duque, Sunday, August 01, 04:40:59pm
  • What did it taste like? Any comparisons? Might taste different this time as they're pulling from a different water source. (NT) -- Alan, Saturday, July 31, 07:08:34pm

• My girlfriend lives with Dudash's daughter (she is my friend) so there is a stash of Duquesne beer in the fridge downstairs! Very good stuff! (NT) -- Simms, Friday, July 30, 12:02:33am
  • Have a Duke! (NT) -- Bob, Friday, July 30, 10:06:53pm
    • I just had my first Duke (I'm only 39 so it was gone before I was able to try the original). It is a very smooth summer beer. However, I don't know how it compares to the original. I payed $16.99 at Duffy's. Great price for a good beer! (NT) -- SKIDDYBALL, Wednesday, August 04, 05:58:12pm
      • The logo is WAAAYY too feminine. Not sure a non-cosmopolitan male will like to drink face to face with a cherubish chap. Turn around now and change the logo. It's not too late. (NT) -- Alan, Wednesday, August 04, 08:03:35pm
        • Logo reminds me of a 1920's fake elixir for gout. (NT) -- Alan, Wednesday, August 04, 08:04:52pm
