As a kid I had a great uncle that drank beer that was named “Beer”. It came in a bottle and under the cap there was puzzles. Are these still around?

it's called "Private Stock" and it's still around
For a few seconds, I thought your uncle was named Beer.![]()
Are you sure it wasn't Mickey's???
It SEEMS like they USED to have a bottle that just said BEER...
And they used to play the bottle cap puzzles...
Although -- where YOU live -- there are a LOT of small independent breweries -- was it that way back then???

When i was in college; Private Stock was sold as a six pack. i guess times changeI looked that up and I don't think that is it. Thoses were 40s. What I am thinking about is just regular small brown bottles with a white label and black letters saying "Beer". They were really cheap and sold in cases.
I didn't know that Mickey's had the rebus caps also( i looked it up).When i dranked Mickeys it still had the pull tab.Are you sure it wasn't Mickey's???

temperature and alcohol become more important than flavor.

We have fruit juice in Australia that under the lid is a riddle question. Frankly it's the reason I buy it
God only knows what I do if beer came with riddles as well.
