Griesedieck Brothers was very big in St.Louis before Anheuser-Busch came along. In fact, Harry Carey did broadcasts for them before Busch bought the stadium.
The name couldn't have helped. Yes, it's pronounced nearly as bad as it looks. The family later expanded and also produced Stag and Falstaff, both of which I remember folks consuming when I was a kid. Both tasted like crap.
My first place, my best friend/roommate came up with a metal sign that covered the entire wall. It was the Falstaff symbol, but said Griesedieck Bros.
Can't find an image like it on the net. Sure wish I had it now, probably worth a few bucks.
