Lincoln's Budweiser and Michelob taps could be
drying up by the end of next week if the nationwide
strike at the nine Anheuser-Busch Inc. breweries is
not settled soon. .
But Gene Bahm, manager of Lincoln's only Bud
distributor, L. M. KaJin Distributor Inc., said he
doubted the strike would cramp the style of any but
the most fervent Bud drinkers.
Bahm arrived at the Zoo Bar in his red Budweiser
ski coat Wednesday afternoon bringing the news to
the local taverns.
"We held off until 1 p.m. hoping they'd send us
some more beer," he said- "We're already sold out of
Mich keg beer. I'd imagine we've got about six or
eight days of Bud kegs left."
Bahm said there is about a month's supply of
, canned and bottled Budweiser and Michelob on hand
"if people don't start stockpiling." But a three-month
strike has been predicted by John Shiver, secretary of
Teamsters Local 388 in Tampa. Most' of the 8,000
workers on strike are Teamsters members and as of
Wednesday no negotiations had begun. '
Elections more important?
Neither the bartender nor the -half-dozen after
noon patrons, (none of whom were drinking Bud),
seemed bothered.
"Bud ain't the only beer around," the bartender
said.
"Why don't you report on the elections or some- m
thing that's worthwhile?" a customer asked.
Bahm sat down on a corner stool and started
reminiscing about the "Schlitz strike of '56." Schlitz
was the number one seller in the nation then, accord
ing to Bahm, but during that strike, Budweiser took
over the top slot and has stayed there.
"It's not likely the same thing will happen to Bud
weiser because all the other breweries are already
running at full capacity," he said.
In tears
Shortly after Bahm left, Keith Landgren, a con
fessed "Bud-man," stopped in for a couple of drinks.
He was in St. Louis last weekend, and the strike
fouled his intentions of touring the brewery, said
Landgren, the director of transportation for the
Lancaster Office of Mental Retardation.
"For us Bud drinkers that place is a shrine," he
said and took a sip from the bottle of Bud in his
hand. "If you drink Bud you think about things like
that."
Landgren said, however, that coping with a Bud
weiser shortage would not be too difficult for him.
"You don't notice any difference after the first
two or three anyway because your tongue's coated,"
he said. "I drink Budweiser because of the horse."
The bartender, who did not want his name men
tioned because of "legal reasons", became curious.
"I remember when it was a man's army," the
bartender said. " . . a lot of hostilities. Eighty
five per cent of the guys over there were Bud drink
ers. It was hell. ... I'd be ashamed to be in the army
today."
"When the guy asks me what I want I tell him Bud
because I've got to tell him something," Landgren
said.
"Yeah, it was a hell of an army," the bartender
said. "Those guys would break down in tears if they
knew Bud was on strike."
