Schaefer still is. It's distributed regionally, mostly back east where it was popular (they're owned by Pabst now)
Not sure about Ballantine.....or even Rheingold for that matter.

Eventually it was bought by Papst and declined in sales by the 1980s but they revived Ballantine IPA in 2014. The rings logo was created in 1879 and represent "Purity, Body, and Flavor". Here’s some irony. New York Yankees announcer Mel Allen called it "the Three-Ring Sign." Lol.

and a few others :suds:

The Pabst Brewing Company (/ˈpæpst/) is an American company that dates its origins to a brewing company founded in 1844 by Jacob Best and was, by 1889, named after Frederick Pabst. It is currently a holding company which contracts the brewing of over two dozen brands of beer and malt liquor: these include its own flagship Pabst Blue Ribbon, as well as brands from now defunct breweries including P. Ballantine and Sons Brewing Company, G. Heileman Brewing Company, Lone Star Brewing Company, Pearl Brewing Company, Piels Bros., Valentin Blatz Brewing Company, National Brewing Company, Olympia Brewing Company, Falstaff Brewing Corporation, Primo Brewing & Malting Company, Rainier Brewing Company, F & M Schaefer Brewing Company, Joseph Schlitz Brewing Company, Jacob Schmidt Brewing Company and Stroh Brewery Company.[1] About half of the beer produced under Pabst's ownership is Pabst Blue Ribbon brand, with the other half their other owned brands.

It definitely is but pulling your starter in the 3rd inning isn't the smartest idea. Cant ask your pen for 6 innings of work every game even if it is a strength with 3 straight games coming up. It is a recipe for disaster

Actually I thought it was a good move considering they already won Game 1 and have an off day today. It worked well for the Rays against the Astros.

It was a good move for yesterday for sure. My point is I hope he doesn't plan to anything close to that in the next 2 games. I'm ok with doing something similar in game 5 depending on who starts but still got to try and make your starter go longer.

For it to work perfectly, it should go on game 3 vs Minnesota went. 4 innings from a starter then go to the pen for 5. Last night, Paxton didn't even complete 3 innings. I get why he did it last night but I just hope it doesn't become a trend.

Helluva job by both bullpens. Would have been incredible going back to the Bronx 2-0, but it is what it is, and 48 hours ago a split was all I was asking for.

Gotta think whoever wins game 3 is probably gonna win the series. Thanks again to the Rays for ensuring we get our first crack at Cole in the Bronx.

They have do something about Encarnacion @nynasty

I don't think they can bench him with Stanton hurt but at least drop him in the order but if Stanton is good enough to take AB's on Tuesday then I would bench him and play Stanton at DH

Yeah, he's been pretty brutal-he also has horrible career #s against Verlander, so it's not like it wasn't predictable.

Supposedly, Stanton hurt himself before he hit that laser HR on Saturday night, so I don't know what to think.

Damn...I had no idea they were the parent company for so many other breweries and brands.
Ftr: I've had or tried more than half of those beers on that list at some point over the years.

You're saying every now and then you don't just go pick up a 6 pack of Schmidt's just for nostagia's sake?


Me neither

Rather cut my tongue off....
