It sounds like you've got a few years of beer-drinking under your belt to be able to rattle off all those names. We like hearing beer history in the forums from the few members like you who chime in regularly with their wonderful knowledge of beer history and pics of 'ancient' artifacts to illustrate the topics. Join into the forums and educate us whenever you're ready. P.S. Welcome to the site. Hang around as much as you'd like and have fun.
"Lemp" ? Didn't the brand die during Prohibition? Falstaff, of course, was born out of the ashes of Lemp, when the Griesediecks bought the brand name and the famous shield logo trademark. When were you drinking Lemp? Didn't realize it was still marketed after Repeal. (Not talking about the more recent revival - one of seemingly hundreds) Doncha mean "Falstaff" up there? Once the 3rd largest brewer in the US, outsold Budweiser in St. Louis into (IIRC) the 1960s.
