The local breweries had their devotees though. Even though many of them
made nasty pee water.

Brought up in Philadelphia, I recall my father drinking Schmidt's, but my
uncles had either Ortliebs, Esslinger or otherwise equally nasty brew. They
would during the other's beer when visiting, but never changed brands
themselves. Now I live in New England, home to Narragansset beer.
