Sometimers kicking in! What was the beer...

[Othereal]

Years ago (MANY years ago, over 30?), Shakey's Pizza Parlors served a dark beer on tap by the pitcher. I can't remember the name or style. Anyone?

LOL, that's a good question - I used to suck down a few at the Shakey's in Chula Vista CA, but that was 40 + years ago .

I remember Pizza Hut had Stroh's Bock by the pitcher back then. we all loved it!

 

[DromJohn]

I remember drinking dark there in the mid-1980s, maybe Michelob Dark?

 

[Paradigm]

I wasn't even alive for that O_O

How about Lowenbrau Dark? It was available back in the 70's and my memory of it is VERY positive.

How about Henry Weinhard's Private Reserve? They had a dark version that was all over the Pacific NW.

If my memory serves me right in Delaware it was Tuborg Dark.

Did Shakey's pizza ever have locations in Delaware? I thought it was West Coast only.

I think that Shakey's might be a bit more of a common name than we all might think. There was a place called Shakey's in Hershey PA as well. I am not sure about their pizza, but I think that their wings were good. I remember the beer was cold, and that we going there not for the food but rather to chase the women.
Good times...
Although at my age now, heartburn burn from the pizza at the West Coast 'Shakey's' is sounding better than the heartburn of the drama that came with some of those ladies in Hershey. How did we do it back then?

 

[bluehende]

We definitely had a chain in Delaware with multiple locations. I think they were at least regional. It was probably not the same ones as west coast. I will always have a fond memory of Shakey's from my U of Del. days as they started the 1.00 pitcher nights on Monday. I imagine that does show my age.

I remember many a lunch hour at Shakey's Pizza in Canyon Country, CA. Don't remember the dark beer. Probably drank plenty of it though. And then back to work then the drive to class in West Covina.
That was about 28 years ago though.

I was just thinkin' of Shakeys the other dat when I was eating pizza and fried chicken together with beer. That memory takes me wayyy back. Not sure but I'll bet the dark beer was Michelob or Lowenbrau.
