Just thought I would clear this up. This is according to Wendt. The beer is non alchoholic and it comes in cans. They would just pour the cans into a soda pop dispenser that ran of through the taps. They would put a tablespoon of salt in the glasses to give it a head. Wendt said it tasted terrible.

That's cool. Where did you hear this?

Tasted terrible? Hmm. Interesting on how much he actually had...or chugged. :D

Shelley said that "George drank 'near beer' " in the "Inside Cheers ET interview. "

I have a 1985 washington post tv guide with Wendt on the cover. Inside is a coverstory and interview with him

I remember them adding some thing to the beer to make it look foamy, but forgot what it was....thanks for the reminder Norm. :D
