Regional Retro Beers
Times were tough “back in the day.” Grandpa had to walk 10 miles to school. Uphill. Both ways. And they only had black-and-white TV. Sticks and rocks were their toys. Yeah, we’ve heard it all before. But the real hardship was that Grandpa (and Grandma) only had a few beer brands to choose from in the era when a few local breweries were becoming larger regional ones and many smaller ones were going away. U.S. beer was almost completely homogenized down to a style that we now call American lager or American Pilsner. But if you ask Grandpa about his favorite beer, the talk about hardship fades away and his eyes grow soft misty. He smiles as he remembers those beers of old. While those old-school beers lacked a lot in variety and flavor, they do have a rich history. Here’s a closer look at a few regional favorite beers of yesteryear from around the country, followed by clone recipes so you can make them at home.
Olympia: It’s the Water
Olympia Brewing Co. got its start in Tumwater, Washington, as Capital Brewing Company when a German immigrant from Montana named Leopold Schmidt — who had already established a successful brewery in Big Sky Country — set up an ice factory powered by the Tumwater Falls on the Deschutes River. There, he also built a four-story brewery and a bottling and kegging plant. Schmidt began selling beer in 1896, and in 1902 changed the name of his brewery to Olympia.
For decades, Olympia beer was brewed at the source with water obtained from artesian wells — natural aquifers with pressurized groundwater that Schmidt and many fans argued imparted unique and very desirable qualities in the beer. Schmidt chose the company’s slogan, “It’s the Water,” when he renamed the brewery in 1902, because he believed the water to be of superior quality for brewing lagers. (Some beer fans remember a popular advertising campaign that claimed the water used in brewing Oly was under the jurisdiction of a group of imaginary and rambunctious creatures known as the “Artesians.”)
Olympia survived Prohibition and began brewing again in 1934. It grew to become a popular regional brand in the Pacific Northwest. Oly, as it was always affectionately called, was sold by the Schmidt family in the 1980s to Pabst and changed ownership several times before being purchased by SABMiller. For a while under SABMiller’s ownership, Olympia Brewing took over brewing other regional Northwest brands before the company shuttered the original Olympia brewery for good in 2003. Beer marketed under the Olympia name is now brewed at an SABMiller plant in California, and is still available in many states, but the Artesians — and their wells — are no longer involved.
Dixie: It’s Sad but Pretty Like New Orleans
Local New Orleans band, The Iguanas, have a line in a song that could easily sum up the story behind Dixie Brewing Company — “It’s sad but pretty like New Orleans.”
Dixie, which opened in New Orleans in 1907, was once a staple in the South, and became an iconic symbol for the Crescent City. Huge iron gates still surround the six-story brewhouse, which was built for $85,000 by Valentine Merz, a saloon keeper who turned to the supplier side of the beer equation in the late 1800s.
At the time, Dixie was the youngest and most modern of many breweries among New Orleans’ brewery district, with Falstaff’s towering brewery — among others — being neighbors. Gleaming copper kettles and cypress-wood tanks were as beautiful as they were functional, and became the essence of Dixie Brewing as well as a shining example of the South’s proud brewing traditions.
Dixie survived through Prohibition, manufacturing and distributing non-alcoholic beer until 1933. When Prohibition ended, Dixie Beer eventually became a national brand. Later, the beer wars that raged from the 1950s into the 1980s destroyed every other New Orleans brewery, but Dixie weathered every storm.
When Joe and Kendra Bruno bought the brewery as part of a real estate deal in 1985, Dixie was burdened with debt. It would have been easier to just drive old Dixie down, but something made them keep brewing. They declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 1989 and at the same time, chose to expand beyond American lager into some craft beer styles. Dixie’s Blackened Voodoo Lager was born, and proved to be the magic that buoyed Dixie out of bankruptcy in 1992. But fate was not yet done with Dixie. In 2005, Hurricane Katrina proved to be Dixie’s biggest nemesis. The venerable brewery stood strong against both the winds and the water that ravaged New Orleans when the Category 5 storm struck and, subsequently, the levees broke. But Dixie could not withstand the looters that came next. The beautiful old copper kettles were cut up and sold as scrap; copper wiring was stripped from the brewery and the old wooden tanks were also scavenged. Floodwater caused extensive damage to the building as well. To this day, the old brewery still stands bare and vacant in the wake of this disaster. The Brunos still say they hope to revive the old brewery.
In the meantime, Dixie is contract brewed and distributed far away from the South. But Dixie beer still stands strong as a symbol of Southern culture.
Choc: Beer Worth Going to Jail For
Choc Beer didn’t start out as a brand; it started out as homebrew. “Choc” is an abbreviation of “Choctaw,” for what many folks in eastern Oklahoma and western Arkansas once called “Choctaw Indian Beer” — a favorite in the region even before Oklahoma became a state of the union. In fact, before Oklahoma entered statehood, Choc’s popularity spread like wildfire, prompting many fledgling brewers to concoct their own versions to suit his tastes. The prevalence of Choc beer in what was then Indian Territory was enough to warrant a report in 1894 to the U.S. Congress, which described Choctaw beer as a “compound of barley, hops, tobacco, fishberries (Anamirta cocculus, a preparation of which was often used as a stimulant in beer) and a small amount of alcohol.” But at this time, Choc beer was brewed to please the brewer’s personal tastes, so Choc could be brewed with additions of everything from peaches to rice to raisins.
Back then, it was a federal offense to even possess alcohol — much less sell it — in Indian Territory. And even when Oklahoma gained statehood in 1907, it entered the Union “dry,” remaining that way until after Prohibition. Even during those dry decades, though, there were small restaurants — especially in southeastern Oklahoma — that secretly sold “Choc” to their favored, trusted customers. One of those restaurateurs was an Italian immigrant named Pietro Piegari, who changed his name to Pete Pritchard when he came to America as a young child. After a near-death experience working in a mine, Pritchard began to brew beer at home. He learned directly from some local Choctaws how to brew the mysterious Choc beer, which was very different in both flavor and appearance from the German lagers that Pritchard first learned to brew. Fellow immigrants began flocking to “Pete’s place” to fill up on Pritchard’s tasty, family-style Italian meals and wash it all down with his refreshing Choc beer. The Choc was all on the down-low, of course — even after Pritchard opened an official restaurant (Pete’s Place) and continued serving his beer to a growing base of fans. Eventually, the law caught up with Pritchard, and he served two full terms in federal prison for bootlegging, with prison officials and politicians both refusing to give him parole because they had never had such a good cook in prison and were afraid the prisoners would revolt when he left. Today, Pritchard’s descendents brew a legal version of the original Choc Beer (excluding fishberries and tobacco) along with several other styles, as this home brewery turned craft brewery’s story continues.
Hamm’s: From the Land of Sky-Blue Waters
Perhaps no other regional American lager brewery has as recognizable marketing as that of Hamm’s from the days of old. From the Native-American drum beat of the beer’s catchy jingle, (“From the Land of Sky Blue Waters … comes the beer refreshing. Hamm’s the beer refreshing — Hamm’s!”) to the well-loved white-bellied black Hamm’s beer bear, the Anheuser-Busch marketing might be the only rival for Hamm’s clever advertising.
But neither marketing nor brewing was probably on the mind of the young German immigrant named Theodore Hamm, who, along with his new bride, moved to St. Paul, Minnesota, in 1856. It wasn’t long before a friend and brewer in town, Andrew Keller, approached Hamm for a loan to expand his Excelsior Brewery. Hamm loaned Keller the money, with the brewery as collateral. And when Keller defaulted on his loan, Hamm found himself the owner.
Under the keen business acumen of Hamm, the brewery, soon named after the owner, grew and expanded for several years, from 500 barrels in 1865 to 26,000 barrels in 1882. In 1896, the brewery incorporated, giving Theodore the title of president and his son, William, the titles of vice-president and secretary. With that move, the Hamm’s brewery stayed in the family for more than 100 years, weathering through Prohibition by making soft drinks and other beverages and through World War II when wives of employee’s went to work at the brewery while their husbands were at war.
After expanding it from a regional brewery to a national brand, the Hamms family sold the brewery in 1964 for $65 million. The brewery then changed hands several times until Olympia Brewing Co. bought it in 1975. (Interestingly, the Hamm’s brewery was originally built on artesian wells much like the Olympia brewery.) The Hamm’s brewery was closed in 1997, and hasn’t brewed a drop of Hamm’s or any other beer ever since. Hamm’s is currently brewed as a brand by MillerCoors.
Rolling Rock: From the Glass Lined Tanks of Old Latrobe
This East Coast offering is the youngest of all the beers featured in this article, having only been around since after Prohibition when it was launched by the Latrobe Brewing Company in 1939. Although it was founded as a regional beer for western Pennsylvania (in the city of Latrobe, where the brewery was built in 1893), Rolling Rock’s popularity spread relatively quickly — perhaps in part because of the distinctive green bottles and painted labels that have become the beer’s trademark appearance. Another Rolling Rock distinction is its decidedly “creamed corn” flavor, which comes from using very lightly kilned malt.
One thing Rolling Rock lovers love to discuss is the reason for the number “33,” which has always been printed prominently on the Rolling Rock bottles. The debate continues, despite some former Latrobe executives having said on record that the mysterious number appeared on the first bottles because a founder had written the number “33” after the pledge that was to appear on each bottle — all 33 words of it — to indicate to the printers how much space to plan for the pledge on the bottle. The printers, not realizing what the guy had done, included the number on the bottle.
That first pledge differed slightly from the current one, but both are 33 words long in keeping with the Rolling Rock tradition. Original Rolling Rock Pledge: “A little nip from the glass lined tanks of Old Latrobe. We tender this package as a premium beer for your delight and economical use. It comes from the mountain springs to you.”
Current Rolling Rock Pledge: “Rolling Rock, From the glass lined tanks of Old Latrobe we tender this premium beer for your enjoyment, as a tribute to your good taste. It comes from the mountain springs to you.”
So, there you have it, Daddy-O — five grand old brews with five equally great histories, plus recipes so you can kick it old-school anytime you want!
Recipes
(All clone recipes were developed by Steve Bader, owner of Bader Beer and Wine Supply in Vancouver, Washington, and frequent contributor to Brew Your Own magazine)
Olympia clone
(5 gallons/19 L, extract with grain)
OG = 1.046 FG = 1.010
IBU = 14 SRM = 2.5 ABV = 4.7%
Olympia has a very clean flavor, a little malt flavor, a little corn flavor and a little rice flavor, with just a bit of citrus from American hops. There is debate whether the “new” version brewed in California is as good as the original version brewed in Olympia, WA.
Ingredients
3.0 lbs. (1.3 kg) light dried malt extract (such as Coopers or Briess)
2.0 lb. (0.91 kg) 6-row pale malt
1.0 lb. (0.45 kg) flaked rice
1 lb. 2 oz. (0.51 kg) corn sugar (5 mins)
2.5 AAU Cascade hop pellets (60 min) (0.50 oz./14 g of 5.0% alpha acid)
1.0 AAU Willamette hop pellets (5 min) (0.25 oz./7 g of 4.0% alpha acid)
½ teaspoon Irish moss (last 15 min)
White Labs WLP840 (American Lager) or Wyeast 2035 (American Lager) yeast
1.0 cup (200 g) corn sugar (for priming)
Step by Step
Steep the crushed grains in 1 gallon (3.8 L) of water at 150 °F (65 °C) for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove grains from the wort and rinse with 2 quarts (1.8 L) of 170 °F (77 °C) water. Add half the dried malt extract and water to make at least 3 gallons (11 L) of wort and boil for 60 minutes, adding the hops and Irish moss per the recipe schedule. For the last 5 minutes of the boil, add the remaining dried malt extract and corn sugar to dissolve it in to the wort. Cool the wort and transfer it to your fermenter, topping up with cold water to 5.0 gallons (19 L). Pitch your yeast when the beer has cooled to 68 °F (20 °C), and aerate. Hold the beer at around 68 °F (20 °C) until the yeast starts fermenting, and then cool the beer to 52 °F (11 °C) for the remainder of the fermentation. About 3 days after hitting your final gravity, raise the temperature of the beer to about 68 °F (20 °C) for 3 days for a diacetyl rest. Transfer to a secondary fermenter and lager the beer at about 35 °F (2 °C) for another 2 weeks before bottling or kegging this beer.
Olympia clone
(6 gallons/23 L, all-grain)
OG = 1.046 FG = 1.010
IBU = 14 SRM = 2.5 ABV = 4.7%
Ingredients
9.5 lb. (4.3 kg) 6-row pale malt
1.0 lb. (0.45 kg) rice
1.5 lb. (0.68 kg) brewers corn grits
3.0 AAU Cascade hop pellets (60 min) (0.60 oz./17 g of 5.0% alpha acid)
1.2 AAU Willamette hop pellets (5 min) (0.30 oz./8.5 g of 4.0% alpha acid)
½ teaspoon Irish moss (last 15 min)
White Labs WLP840 (American Lager) or Wyeast 2035 (American Lager) yeast
Step by Step
This beer is brewed with a double mash and is diluted upon packaging as all American-style Pilsners are. You ferment 5 gallons (19 L) of base beer, but yield 6 gallons (23 L) in the keg. Reserve a handful of 6-row malt. Mash in remaining malt with 4.1 gallons (16 L) of water at 133 °F (56 °C) and begin mashing at 122 °F (50 °C) in your kettle. Combine rice and corn with the handful of 6-row malt in 1.0 gallon (3.8 L) of water in a large kitchen pot and begin heating it. Rest cereal mash at 158 °F (70 °C) for 5 minutes, then bring to a boil. Boil for 30 minutes, stirring almost constantly. Heat the main mash, stirring often, to 140 °F (60 °C) and hold. Combine cooked corn and rice with main mash and adjust temperature — if needed — to 152 °F (67 °C). Hold at 152 °F (67 °C) for 30 minutes, stirring often. Heat mash to 168 °F (76 °C), stirring often, and transfer mash to lauter tun, recirculate and run off wort. Sparge with water hot enough to keep grain bed at 170 °F (77 °C ). Collect about 5.0 gallons (19 L) of wort, add 1.5 gallons (5.7 L) of water and bring the wort to a vigorous, rolling boil. Boil the wort down to 5.0 gallons (19 L) over 90 minutes, adding hops and Irish moss at times indicated. Cool wort down to 48 °F (8.8 °C) and transfer wort to fermenter. Aerate wort and pitch yeast from starter.
Ferment beer at 52 °F (11 °C), allowing temperature to rise to 60 °F (16 °C) when fermentation is almost finished. Hold for 3 days at this temperature. Separate beer from yeast and cool to 40 °F (4.4 °C). Allow to cold condition (lager) for 4–5 weeks. When you are ready to keg the beer, boil a little over 1.0 gallon (3.8 L) of water for 15 minutes, cool rapidly and add 3.3 qts. (3.2 L) to your 5-gallon (19-L) Corny keg. Transfer beer to keg until it is full. You will be left with 3.3 qts. (3.2 L) of base beer to either dilute to 4 qts. (3.7 L) with boiled and cooled water or to package as “malt liquor.”
Dixie clone
(5 gallons/19 L, extract with grain)
OG = 1.046 FG = 1.011
IBU = 17 SRM = 2.5 ABV = 4.5%
Dixie is an American Pilsner style beer, with adjunct levels a bit lower than most of “Grandpa’s beers.” This extra maltiness gives a bit more robust flavor to it, and a slightly darker color. Its yeast flavor leans more toward the Pilsner style, but uses American hops so that their characteristic citrus flavor comes through.
Ingredients
2.5 lbs. (1.1 kg) light dried malt extract (such as Briess Golden Light)
3.0 lb. (1.4 kg) 6-row pale malt
1.0 lb. (0.45 kg) flaked rice
1.0 lb. (0.45 kg) flaked corn
3.75 AAU Cascade hop pellets (60 min) (0.75 oz./21 g of 5.0% alpha acid)
2.0 AAU Willamette hop pellets (0 min) (0.5 oz./14 g of 4.0% alpha acid)
½ teaspoon Irish moss (last 15 min)
White Labs WLP838 (Southern German Lager) or Wyeast 2124 (Bohemian Lager) yeast
0.75 cup (150 g) corn sugar for priming
Step by Step
Steep the crushed grains in 2 gallons (7.6 L) of water at 150° F (65 °C) for 60 minutes, stirring often. Rinse with 2 quarts (1.8 L) of 170 °F (77 °C) water. Add half the dried malt extract and water to make at least 3 gallons (11 L) and boil wort for 60 minutes, add the hops and Irish moss per the recipe schedule. For the last 5 minutes of the boil, add the remaining dried malt extract. Cool wort, transfer to fermenter and top up to 5.0 gallons (19 L). Pitch your yeast when the beer has cooled to 68 °F (20 °C), and aerate. Hold the beer at around 68 °F (20 °C) until the yeast starts fermenting, and then cool the beer to 52 °F (11 °C) for the remainder of the fermentation. About 3 days after hitting your final gravity, raise the temperature of the beer to about 68 °F (20 °C) for 3 days for a diacetyl rest. Transfer to secondary and lager the beer at about 35 °F (2 °C) for another 3 weeks before bottling or kegging this beer.
Dixie clone
(5 gallons/19 L, all-grain)
OG = 1.046 FG = 1.011
IBU = 17 SRM = 2.5 ABV = 4.5%
Ingredients
8.0 lbs. (3.6 kg) 6-row pale malt
1.0 lb. (0.45 kg) flaked rice
1.0 lb. (0.45 kg) flaked corn
3.75 AAU Cascade hop pellets (60 min) (0.75 oz./21 g of 5.0% alpha acid)
2.0 AAU Willamette hop pellets (0 min) (0.50 oz./14 g of 4.0% alpha acid)
½ teaspoon Irish moss (last 15 min)
White Labs WLP838 (Southern German Lager) or Wyeast 2124 (Bohemian Lager) yeast
Step by Step
This is a simplified recipe using flaked adjuncts and a single infusion mash. Mash at 153 °F (67 °C) for 60 minutes. Mash out to 167 °F (75 °C) and collect approximately 7 gallons (26 L) of wort. Boil the wort for 30 minutes without hops, and then add your hops according to the extract recipe schedule above. Fermentation is the same as well.
Choc clone
(5 gallons/19 L, extract with grain)
OG = 1.041 FG = 1.009
IBU = 9 SRM = 2.5 ABV = 4.1%
This beer has had many different variants. This clone recipe is close to the current version, which is a cloudy, unfiltered wheat/barley beer with some funky ale flavors, 4.0% alcohol, lots of fruitiness from a warm fermented Hefeweizen yeast. Choc is bottle conditioned, and not filtered prior to bottling, so it can have large amounts of sedimentation at the bottom of the bottle. There is also a bit of lemony flavor to Choc, typical of a wheat beer.
Ingredients
3.5 lbs. (1.6 kg) Briess Weizen dried malt extract
0.50 lb. (0.23 kg) 2-row pale malt
0.50 lb. (0.23 kg) white wheat malt
0.50 lb. (0.23 kg) CaraPils® malt
0.50 lb. (0.23 kg) torrified wheat
1.3 AAU Cascade hop pellets (60 min) (0.25 oz./7 g of 5.0% alpha acid)
1.3 AAU Cascade hop pellets (15 min) (0.25 oz./7 g of 5.0% alpha acid)
1.0 AAU Liberty hop pellets (5 min) (0.25 oz./7 g of 4.0% alpha acid)
White Labs WLP320 (American Hefeweizen) yeast
0.75 cups (150 g) corn sugar (for priming)
Step by Step
Steep the crushed grains in 2.8 qts. (2.6 L) of water at 150 °F (65 °C) for 30 minutes. Remove grains from the wort and rinse with 2 quarts (1.8 L) of hot water. Add half the dried malt extract and water to make at least 3 gallons (11 L). Boil wort for 60 minutes, adding the hops per the recipe schedule. For the last 5 minutes of the boil, add the remaining dried malt extract. Cool wort, transfer to fermenter and top up with cold water to 5.0 gallons (19 L). Pitch your yeast when the beer has cooled to 68 °F (20 °C), and aerate. Choc is served cloudy, so don’t worry about racking to a secondary fermenter. Bottle with ¾ cup of corn sugar about 3 days after you hit your final gravity. Let it bottle condition for one week. This is homebrew, proudly serve this beer in a mason jar after rolling the bottle on the table to mix the yeast back into suspension!
All-grain option:
This is a single step infusion mash using 4.5 lbs. (2.0 kg) of pale 2-row malt, 3.5 lbs. (1.6 kg) of white wheat malt, 0.5 lb. (0.22 kg) of Carapils® malt and 0.5 lb. (0.22 kg) of torrified wheat. Mash at 154 °F (68 °C). Boil for 90 minutes. Fermentation is the same as in the extract recipe.
Hamm’s clone
(5 gallons/19 L, extract with grain)
OG = 1.040 FG = 1.006
IBU = 20 SRM = 3.2 ABV = 4.5%
Hamm’s is crisp, refreshing and very light in color and body. It typically has very high carbonation levels that cover any sweetness that might be present although there are reports of draft Hamm’s having a lower carbonation level. Its hop level is around 20 IBUs, with a slightly lemony flavor.
Ingredients

Rolling Rock clone
(5 gallons/19 L, extract with grain)
OG = 1.041 FG = 1.006
IBU = 21 SRM = 2.1 ABV = 4.5%
Rolling Rock Extra Pale is the United States leader in a beer using an “off-flavor” to differentiate itself from all of the other American Pale lagers. Rolling Rock has made a name for itself by brewing a pale lager with a significant amount of DMS (Dimethyl Sulfide) in its flavor profile. The best way for a homebrewer to get this flavor in your beer, is to boil your beer with the lid of your pot covering as much of the kettle as possible without boiling over.
