A popular advertising campaign for Schaefer was the tagline, "Schaefer is the one beer to have when you're having more than one." This was put to music and used as a jingle from the 1950s-70s. The music was written by Jim Jordan of BBDO, on his son's xylophone. Louis Armstrong once performed the jingle in a television advertisement campaign. Music composer Edd Kalehoff also appeared in a 1973 advertisement showing off his Moog synthesizer.

An earlier advertising campaign (about 1959) asserted, "What do you hear in the best of circles? Schaefer, all around!"

In Puerto Rico, Schaefer was one of the top selling beers during the decades of the 1970s and 1980s. For a long time, there was a large and quite famous Schaefer beer billboard at the main entrance to the city of Bayamón. The beer, along with the Winston cigarette, was quite famous among Puerto Rican salsa fans and superstars like Frankie Ruiz, Tito Rojas, Lalo Rodríguez and others among the "salsa sensual" movement of the 1980s.

Happiness is never grand."

+1 isn't a bad thing as long as there is further commentary... Convo is my shorthand for conversation, like pulling a del Rey deb aside for services wanted or price; also refers to chit-chat with other Brothers.
Most def' agree the Restaurant reviewer is welcome--even old favorites change hands/menus/character, and new ones pop up all the time.
