I never liked Regal, even with Prince Regal saluting me, except it was better than no beer at all. Brewed by American Brewing Company in Miami and they had another brewery in New Orleans.
The Regal Brewery was sold to Anhauser Busch in the early 60s. They continued to brew Regal for a few years but eventually discontiuned the brand when Busch Beer was introduced.
Hey like you said Dan it was the only beer we could get so it was good. The brewery was located at about NW 20th St and 5th Ave.
