The kummelweck roll (sometimes pronounced "kimmelweck") gives the sandwich its name and a distinctive taste. It is topped with kosher salt and caraway seeds.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Ah...Ballentine beer. Brings back memories. My dad worked for PRR. I remember on Friday Nights he came home from work with a quart sized bottle of Ballentine beer in a brown paper bag! My beer of choice in the 70's was Schlitz. We would drive over to Jersey from Philly suburbs on the weekend because the drinking age was 18. What memories!:laugh:

I remember the Yankee games with Mel Allen were sponsored by Ballantine beer. The commercial had a beer being poured into a Pilsner glass with the foam spilling over from the top. I was too young to drink at that time.

Now, it kind of makes me thirsty as I think of it. :beer3:

Sounds like you have been to Swiston's. Don't forget the Labatt's Blue to wash those sandwiches down! No, I'm not crying, I just bit my tongue.

Remember Mel Allen saying, "Make the three ring sign for Ballantine."

The Ballantine sign was on the old scoreboard in the original Yankee Stadium.

"there goes a Ballantine blast". I loved his saying of "how about that"!!!!!

Back to the thread. When I started drinking, Schaeffer was the most popular beer in the neighborhood. PBR and Schlitz were around.

My neighbor had recently served Schaeffer to me.
IMHO - It didn't taste nearly as good as some of the beers out today.

Taking this topic back to the original topic (BTW, my nostalgic baseball beer commercial was listening to the Indians games and hearing the whistle for "Mabel...Black Label!")

Is there any restaurant in the Villages or surrounding area that carries microbrews on tap? I do not mean Yuengling, which I enjoy, but a variety of IPAs, Porters and Stouts. I cannot find one.
