Max Sparber over at MinnPost has a nice piece on the Hamm’s bear, Schmaltz Hero: The Story of the Hamm’s Beer Bear. At my first “real” job, I worked with a guy who had a hand in creating the bear back in the day. And although I’m not sure whether the commercials continued into the 70s and 80s I remember that bear quite well.
