This Old Man Winter Ale has become my favorite beer. Got a nice tavern in town that keeps it stocked. What I would bring to the party in the boathouse.

I'm from Maryland, near Annapolis. Anyway, I can heartily rec. a couple of local breweries from here if you're looking for a German-style beer brewed in MD. First is Wild Goose, the second and much closer to me now is Evolution (EVO) brewery. Evo being my new favorite, esp their Rise Up Stout. Just thought I'd pass along some good local stuffs!

Hi everyone!

Does anyone happen to know which beer Magnum drank in episode 1 and 2?

It has a very simple blue and white label and can be seen at least three occasions:

1.: When Thomas comes home from Hickam Airbase in the beginning, before he tries to call Dan, he grabs a beer from his own fridge.

2.: When Thomas talks to Ensign Healy in the yacht harbour he drinks from a bottle of that beer.

3.: At the very end Thomas sitting in a chair with his left arm in a sling opens a bottle of that beer and drinks from it. While he drinks the label can be seen fairly good upside down.


Another question I have is why Thomas and Healy can openly drink beer in the yacht harbour. Isn´t this considered public drinking? Is that legal in Hawaii? Or is the yacht harbour perhaps considered to be kind of a private area?

The beer in "No Need To Know":
N1095A wrote:

There were several beers featured in the show, all were fictional brands. Most common was "Coops" served in a cleverly disguised Coors Long neck Bottle. Magnum's favorite beer was Old Dusseldorf, also in a long neck, but very difficult to find in the islands. Old Dusseldorf was a traditional old German beer brewed in Maryland. There was also "Tiller" and "Flagler" beers which appeared only, in the episodes "Skin Deep" and "Distant Reletive". Lastly, and the most common after "Coops" was simply called "Beer".
Neither the beer in the 1st and 2nd episode (see post above) nor the one in the 5th episode "No Need To Know" (see picture below) look like a Coors to me:

Magnum had that beer in the King Kamehameha Club in the episode.

Anyone an idea which beer it is?

I eventually figured it out:

I was watching the pilot movie of "The Fall Guy" yesterday. In the sequence in the diner, after Colt and Howie were released from prison in Elmo Arizona, I spotted this on the table:

Image

Nearly the same label as in my two above posts but a different bottle.

The labels in the above posts were too blurry in the sequences I was forced to take them from so one couldn´t read them.

This obviously is what N1095A mentioned as the beer just called "Beer". I never understood that that beer wasn´t just called Beer by the actors but that in fact the label just says "Beer". OMG, boooooooorinnnnnnngggggg...

Below is the only image I could capture from the pilot that is clear enough to read anything on the label. You can make out the ER in BEER. I assume your images from the Fall Guy showed something similar, but the photobucket links are now broken. After this "BEER" in the pilot, they switch to "Coops" for the regular episodes.

We took a family trip to Colorado (from Wisconsin) in 1975, and I totally remember my Dad being super jazzed about getting his hands on some Coors. Plus they had a cool top at the time that had two openings, the big one you drank out of, plus a little one that served as an air vent so it didn't "glug" out of the can when you we're hammerin' one down.

That whole scene is funny. But the cheerful presentation of the beer bottle is where I really lose it. :lol: He looks like a beer commercial LOL!
