I always liked seeing that (and I’ve said it to hundreds of other people since then…)

Second, it has that great phrase “Brewed With Deep Rock Well Water” that I always thought was a clever way of saying sorta nothing…

Third, as a kid who grew up in a print shop / newspaper family, I was always impressed because they printed that pheasant with just red and blue inks, and it looks like full color thanks to shading.

This box is very familiar to me from my childhood and it’s in good shape. Maybe you should have it in YOUR house???

Here are the comments from the post:

Brian Kundinger Do we still have Ring necks in the fields around town or are they did disappear with the beer? A beautiful bird, a beautiful bay, a winding river. There were many empty bear cans in the walls of my Dad’s and later brother’s home on the Sebewaing river, left there by thirsty brick layers. Great memories and a surprisingly strait, well laid, wall for as many beer cans left in that wall!

Doug Rook Beer is full of B vitamins. Maybe that helped.

Donna Poellet When I went to college I covered those boxes with contact paper for storage boxes!!!!!

I’d estimate the left one is from 1950s and the right one was re-designed about 1960, probably after the “new” owners came in. Does anyone know for sure?

I remember the left one much more, but think the right one looks a little more modern and maybe newer. Any other ideas???”

Here are the comments from the post:

Patricia Holland That beer tasted skunky but hubby was weaned on it I think. Jackie’s upholstery in the old Blade building is making cozies for cans and bottles with the labels printed on them……really cool!!!

Brent Kundinger i remember being in the label room with Scott Thede with boxes and boxes of labels, but never saw any of the ones on the right.

Don Taschner The brown label pre-dates the yellow. Sport Beer “went away” with the advent of Golden Pheasant and POM.
