My dad used to drink Duquesne Beer. I still have a Duquesne Beer box here with toys in it.
In June 2010, Pittsburgh-area attorney Mark J. Dudash resurrected the Duquesne Beer brand and it is now brewed by City Brewing Company in Latrobe, PA.
This Duquesne Beer sign used to set on the hillside above downtown Johnstown, PA.

Now, here's a cheese with an interesting history. With a name like Pabst-ett it obviously had ties to the Pabst brewing company. With the advent of Prohibition in 1920, the Pabst Brewing Company decided to get into the cheese business. The dairy itself was located west of Milwaukee and Pabst used the former ice cellars of the brewery to age the cheese. One of the products they made was Pabst-ett, a processed whey cheese similar to Velveeta but more spreadable. The cheese business was wildly successful and ultimately brought Pabst and Kraft into confrontation with one another over copyright infringement. Kraft won the case and gave Pabst a license to continue making Pabst-ett for a royalty fee. After Prohibition ended in 1933, Pabst sold the cheese business off to Kraft who continued to produce Pabst-ett cheese until at least the late 1940's.

I've been gone from Johnstown since leaving for the military in 1968, but I do remember that Duquesne sign! But I can't believe I forgot to attach the actual commercial in my earlier post!!! (Doh!!!)
