It featured Mister Redlegs catching pitches. The first two were baseballs, and the V.O. said 'beautiful' with each. Then the third catch was a bottle of Hudy, and the V.O. said, 'Hudepohl.' It was a strange commercial, and has stuck in my brain for many years. Does anyone else remember this particular commercial?Eric Lane Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13307766724233946650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7812116909571848352.post-66217390898614084922017-04-26T23:24:13.032-04:002017-04-26T23:24:13.032-04:00My mother-in-law used to say hudepohl Brewery, hud...My mother-in-law used to say hudepohl Brewery, hudepohl speaking when answering the phone....by the way we live in Michigan.

I remember picking him up from work after I got my drivers license and going into the big open room where all the drivers stood and did their books (balanced the days sales receipts) on old time adding machines. It was a room right by the loading docks. I remember my dad wearing that red uniform shown in the commercial too. Good times.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11083097376544168617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7812116909571848352.post-52065505053235481452015-09-19T14:34:25.145-04:002015-09-19T14:34:25.145-04:00I would like to see more old buildings in Cincinna...I would like to see more old buildings in Cincinnati.... please let know which I will bring my CANNON camera with me<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7812116909571848352.post-27533177657493092942015-06-11T22:39:00.743-04:002015-06-11T22:39:00.743-04:00I found an old beer keg from Hudepo-Burger Brewing...I found an old beer keg from Hudepo-Burger Brewing Co. with a date stamp of 7-65 on it, it also still has the label on it.

Greg Hardman, who owns the labels, is doing a great job bring back the brands and I hope Cincinnati supports him.<br /><br />My Great Grandfather Louis Hudepohl had siblings but his heirs where all daughters with no sons...

He was usually pretty happy (if you know what I mean) by the time I showed up on a Friday night to buy kegs at a discount to supply some of the parties up the hill at UC. He was very proud of the brewery and would give tours of many of the rooms you showed in your essay as well as the huge pristine copper vats that were used in the brewing process. Time has taken its toll on the facilities that's for sure, but I will have those wonderful memories for my life time.
