Wow. This is what the old men drank when I was a kid. I drank my first one when I was 45 and can't believe what I missed. I shouldn't have doubted the old-timers.

A good ball park beer. I took a case up to my Detroit beer snobs. They loved it. They finished off the case before returning to their imports. Remember as a kid saying, "Falls City Beer Comes out right here"? Of course you knew where they were pointing.

It tastes pretty good and light....a good beer while watching a baseball game

UPDATED: AUG 18, 2003 O.K., time to re-rate. I only paid $9.53, for a case of these fuckers and was very happy with my purchase. Not only was this brew tasty, it was obviously one hell of a bargain. As a matter of fact, I'm on my 5th right now and I could not be more thrilled. Budweiser look out.

UPDATED: JUL 18, 2003 From 1905 until 1978, it was brewed in right here in Louisville and enjoyed a nice run as a popular regional brand until, like most smaller brands, it was eventually overwhelmed by the major breweries. it was the first beer that I ever drank. typical American standard beer it was all my Dad and uncle's would drink when I was a kid. This beer has gained some nostalgic resurgence in the community, at a Buck a can at Seidenfaden's Café it might bring back some old memories, typical BMC stuff but it is still fun to think about your first beer.

Amazing what may lurk in the back cooler of a beer store. I saw this and laughed, it was $3 a sixer in cans. I bought it expecting the worst. But what I found was a good old fashioned beer you grandpa probably drank. Still an american standard for sure but alot smoother than many. This is not a bad pick up in this price range. And the can looked straight from 1973, I hope it really wasnt though!

Actually has a aroma of Malt, which I find unusual for a cheap brew. Also has a very delicate head. Butt-ugly packaging

would love to have one now, this was an old fav from way back

Ah, nothing takes me home to Louisville like a sip of Falls City. My uncles dranks it and so did my dad. It was the beer to drink in the 1970s. Good flavor, body and drinkability. The Pittsburgh stuff isn’t quite as good as the original or the Evansville version but still better than average. I wish they’d update their can though, it’s looked the same since 1976. I still remember the slogan, ’Nobody makes us make beer this good, Falls City for when you live life like you should.’ Love this beer.
