I used to live in the Huntsville area from 1996 to 2001 enjoyed my share of Star Burgers and draft beer. New Years night was a great party with the owner closing the bar at 10PM for a provate party until after the fireworks were lite off at midnight. I even fell off a bar stool or two and had fun playing pool in the back. Heck I even have a couple dollar bills on the ceiling there as well. Yup those were fun days and nights. Nice people, good party atmosphere, classic country and Rock music and GREAT FOOD!

I own the oldest saloon in Nevada, the Genoa Bar.
est 1853. Its located in Nevada’s oldest town, Genoa.est
1851.
Ironically, When my saloon opened, it was officially in the Utah Territory because Nevada wasn’t a state till 1864. I will definatly come see you sometime. Great Bar!

A very sad day when Fisher Beer was sold out. Now the great brewing kettles sit vacant on the W. Salt Lake skyline!

Hi Tom – Fantastic! I come across Fisher memorabilia every so often, but don’t know that much about it, which is is shame. The company was sold to Coors right when my mom (Duse, as you correctly remembered) turned 21 and they ended up closing it down. If things had been different, I might have been in the brewing business!

Hi Andrew:
Thanks for sharing this with us. My friends and I grew up on Fisher in the qt. size during the 50′s. 2 qts was the limit if you wanted to drive afterward. The Q st. mkt (Thell’s)used to sell to us minors with no reserveation. For a real party we would drive up to Evanston WY where we could buy the 5% Fisher’s. Hanna in the Blue Dress we called it cause the distinctive red label was printed blue for the stronger stuff.

I met your mother Duse once at a party given by James E. Hogle Jr. We were about age mates. I remember her as being a very pretty blonde girl. Too pretty for the likes of me.

Hi Andrew,

I will let you know if we ever find it. Very hard to find.

We have looked in old beer recipe books but it has never showed up anywhere.

Do you think any of your family members may have it or any suggestions who may know..

thanks again

Hi Don – I wish I knew some of the recipes, but alas do not. If you ever find one, I’d love to see it.

Hi Andrew

We wanted to brew some beer this summer do you have any idea or old recipes on how to make the old fisher beer. It would pretty cool to brew an old recipe. But can’t seem to find it anywhere.

Thanks
Don
