#TBT -- GOPHER BEER!

Back in the 1930s when Gopher football was at it's height , everyone was jumping on the bandwagon, even breweries. In an attempt to market it's beer to football fans the Alexandria Brewing Company (which was only around from 1936-1942) came out with a cleverly named brew: Gopher Beer.

Gopher Beer label, sometime between 1936-1942).

Sadly that's all the information there is about this, but I think it merits some discussion about bringing it back. As a home brewer I've even tinkered with the idea of creating something called Gopher Beer. Without any details, I thought I'd take this to yall.
