After a series of acquisitions and consolidations, the Hamms brand is now owned by "MillerCoors" (shudder) and sold in select (random if you ask me) markets in the US. The original brewery in St. Paul, MN, which was located for access to the artesian wells ("sky blue waters"), has been closed since 1997.
And just to return to the thread topic, I had a Bahia Blu and a CLE Cuarenta earlier today.
My grandfather was a brewmaster for Hamms. We called him Grampa Hamms. I grew up with the Hamms bear and the Burgie man. I still have some momentos

Back in the day I drank enough Hamms to pee Sky Blue Water.

I'm a dumbass.
I just posted what pipe tobacco I smoked in the cigar section. So it's gone now and I have nothing to contribute here other than to take up space.
Ignore me and carry on.

This was last night, with much thanks to our very own

I don't have emotions, and sometimes that makes me very sad.
