You can buy Rheingold at two different locations in Saugerties!

The socks Casey's wearing in this ad are the same socks worn by Gary Cooper in Pride of the Yankees. On the day of the shoot, the photographers realized that they didn't have any baseball socks for Casey. So one of the photogs drove over to the nearby Hollywood studios, where he raided the wardrobe department for Cooper's socks.
