It's true, that reputation lasted for many decades. Here's Monty Python's classic "making love in a canoe" joke from 1979: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8aPABF7nW4 [1]. Also this from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4336790:

The old brewer's joke which goes like this (I'll use your examples): A Budweiser salesman, a Coors salesman, and an Anchor Steam salesman meet in the hotel bar at a beer convention. The Budweiser man says, "I'll have a Budweiser." The Coors man says, "I'll have a Coors." The Anchor Steam man says, "Just water for me." The other two look at him and say "What? Just water?" "Well," he says, "since you guys aren't having beer I won't either."

The American craft beer Renaissance has been an amazing thing. Thank you Jimmy Carter! https://www.theatlantic.com/culture/archive/2010/08/how-jimm... ... err, maybe: https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2010/08/jimmy-c...

[1] One of the comments on that YouTube clip complains that it was originally a Canadian joke. The canoe makes me think that might be true.
