You learn more here by accident than you do almost anywhere else on purpose.

I just read the recipe.  There are some great comments you should read.  Almost all of them say to use half the amount of water mentioned.  Most also say to add some red pepper flakes or jalapenos.  That sounds good!  I may have to try it.

Agreed LP, My plan is to use franks red hot on the polish and pickled eggs....feel sorry for my hunting buds down wind in they're layouts,worse yet in a pit blind with no place to go.

[glenn57]

Jeez grain belt,.... I'd rather do the gizzard.

[snow1]

Geez glenn could be worse,buddies drink "old swell",step up from the "buckhorn" days...lol

I broke my beer drinking teeth on "grianbelt ponies" way way  back.

For me it was stealing my ol' man's Pfiffer's.  I've got no problems now drinking "cheap" beer when its hot and you're thirsty.

I was going to say that it's too bad they don't make Pfiffer's anymore, but then I googled this...

Pfeiffer's Famous Beer

It got me all excited until I saw that this Anaheim, California "Coming Soon" website was created in 2018 - and no beer yet.  I think its going to be a long time until I get another Pfeiffers.

We should have one of those guessing contests...

How many cases of Pfeiffer's can you get in the trunk of a Plymouth Fury?



I don't know the correct answer, but I my dad and the neighbor would make a run to Mendota Heights and fill it up.

(Didn't worry about buckling the seat belts back then either.)

[glenn57]

  back in my younger days, 4 of us would go up spearing at the cabin for 9 days right after Christmas. We'd bring 21 cases of bottled pfeiffer's. Add that and not so good for you food it was worse then the scene in blazing saddles.

"Pfiffers" that's a brand/name I haven't herd in years,younger day's we drank most anything,phiffers was one I'll alway's remember,on a job one hot summer day drilling irrigation wells up north,farmer came out with a cooler of pfiffers towards the evening as we were closing down our rig,buddy cracked the first bottle,took a big pull and coughed up a leech or a blood sucker,last pfiffer we ever drank,farmer spilt a gut laughing.

Bad news, beer swilling fans...  Every year or so I go out to the Pfiffer's website again to see if they're making my favorite rot-gut beer again.
The good news is that the brewery is up and running in Anaheim California and that they are making beer. 
The bad news is (and I reached out to them), they are no longer make the original recipe and do not acknowledge even still having a copy of the original recipe.   
Alas, my hopes of enjoying another case of Pfiffer's before I die are dashed forever.

  my uncle down in the cities was a teacher....when he first started teaching he worked at the Scmidt brewery  when not teaching during the summer months

he said alot of times they would run out of the Schmidt labels/bottles so they just dumped the Schmidt brew in the Pfeiffers bottles.

so......Steveo......most likely that beer you loved so well wasnt even the famous Pfiffers brand you dearly loved!!!

[Steve-o]

Yeah, we heard all the stories, but even as a kid, I could tell the difference between Schmidt and Pfeiffers (and Hamms, for that matter).  The dad's in the neighborhood weren't going to buy Schmidt when you could get a case of Pfeiffers for $3 down in Mendota Heights across the river from Fort Snelling. 

Grain Belt was a Minneapolis beer and we didn't drink that on the east side of the river.  I don't remember anyone saying that out loud, but it must have been true, because I never saw anyone in the neighborhood drinking a Grain Belt.  It was either Pfeiffers, Schmidt, or Hamms.

[LPS]

I remember our Dad's used to be able to get Pfeiffers and Hauenstein I think it was  $10 for 3 or 4 cases.  That was warm of course.  My buddies and I have drank a lot of warm beer.  It is actually easier to drink warm beer fast than cold beer.  After the first warm one you are good to go.  I prefer very cold though. They would stock up for their get togethers.  They had some great backyard times and that included us kids and grilling and music.  Was a great time.

When I was in college I worked at Coborn's in Waite Park. We sold a lot of cheap beer. Pfeiffer, Hy Brau, Western and more that slipped my mind.

[Scenic]

 Schmidt had some creative marketing with their cans and remember the ole Schmidt wide mouth bottles?    I have a couple of the unopened can series (wildlife and fishing) and some of the old Schmidt Big Mouth bottles. 

[Steve-o]

The wide mouth bottle is still a pretty good idea, if you ask me.   But its probably more expensive to bottle and what company wants to eat into their profit margins if it really isn't going to sell any extra beer.   

We lived thru the Golden Age, boys.
