At least as far as Marketing went, my favorite beer was Rheingold. Two reasons.
1) The company name and the brand name came from a Wagner "Ring" Opera.
2) Miss Rheingold. They ran beauty contests. The first winner, "Jinx" Falkenburg, had a Germanic family name but she actually was Hispanic--a first!
I worked in a wine shop. I remember a sub-brand beer "Andeker" that seemed unusually good for a domestic product.
