Twenty Years Ago, The Ramones Made a Beer Commercial

I had no idea. Then again, I’d never heard of the Steel Brewing Company, either. (I’m not a beer drinker).

In 1994, they re recorded three jingles for the brewery: “Fill My Cup,” “High Gravity Lager” and “Gimme My Steel Reserve.” Given that the Ramones almost made zero money selling records, this would have been a pretty major payday for them–and it was done in the era when licensing material for a commercial was still considered selling out.

Thanks to Sonic More Music for bringing this to our attention!
