Your Memories of Blue Ribbon Malt Syrup and Red Star Yeast

Greetings,
I am writing a book that covers the rise of home-brewed beer in the United States from 1974 until 2015.
In the beginning Blue Ribbon was the best we could get, until WineArt began bringing in John Bull and others. If you would care to share your memories of the Blue Ribbon days please feel free to contact me at peter.lafrance@beerbasics.com I thank you for listening this far…
Cheers!
