Was not goint to answer tonight, butcause I don't know that many, but having been raised in Peoria, IL, I could not possibly pass on Pabst, which at one time was the world's largest brewery, and the air quite often smelled of yeast. Peoria also at one time had the world's largest brewery in Hiram Walker. Peoria also at one time was the highest contributor to the nation's revenues because of the tax on alcoholic beverages. I'll drink to this fount of worthless knowledge. And now let me go back and see if I know any of the other answers, probably not, and Bigdog in bed.
