"Pilsner on Call", although most thought "POC" meant something else. My dad preferred Lisey's Beer but I shared a few POCs with him, too, over the years. I like the Hobby House billboard in the one photo, too. They took plenty of my money over the years, although my childhood trains mostly came from Jaye and Jaye Trains on the east side of town. Fond memories!
Yea POC, I can recall it meaning anything but "Pilsner on Call". Lmao! Had many a POC 3.2 beer hangover...the worst! Never made it to Jaye & Jaye, being a westsider, but the owner of the "Trading Post" at that time, Ralph, threw me and my 10-11 year old friends out of his store more times than I care to count. He knew we were just there to look at the trains and had no money!
i can relate to all 3 pictures. the poc was nickname"pride of cleveland" -was what my dad and 1 grandfather called it.the company was located at w65th and clark ave.
i had visited hobby house a few times when i worked as a driver and crane operater at the construction of the indians jacobs baseball field in the early 90's. it was right before H.H. closed and they had little Oguage left at that time.
chippewa lake park was in southern medina county. landmark was a medina grain elevator/ farm supply store/ gas -diesel supplier for the area that was largely rural at the time in the 1950s-60s. once a year they had a customer appreciation day at the park--you could go on any rides for 5cents/ride. they also provided a box lunch for all the farmer members and their families at lunchtime. for many of us, this was our cedar point and geauga lake amusment park.-jim
Hey! POC?
That reminds me of a little ditty my mom told me about POC beer from when she was a kid in Columbus, Ohio.
Little POC went to Brussels this year
To compete with many a beer-eer-eer
When they tested it, and tasted it, they through it out the door!
And told him not to bring his nasty beer here anymore!
Yes "Pride of Cleveland" was the NICE name they called that rot gut. Chippewa Lake
Park for me in the sixties held "Battle of the Bands" concerts for all the local rock bands. Great place to meet girls. Fun times! Originally Posted by mixerman:

When I lived in Cincinnati the beers advertised there were Hudepohl, and Weidemann. Not sure I spelled them correctly. That was back in the early '60s.
