Private Stock was the first beer I made my favorite. I wish they still made. 40 ounce of Private Stizzanok is what we use to say on our way to the store.

In the 1980s I worked for a small beer distributor in Connecticut. We had the territory for Haffenreffer in Hartford County among others. Every Friday we would sent 2 trucks with over 300 cases each to the north end of Hartford. Then every Monday we would send two trucks again. By union rules, (and for security) the loads were so big each truck had two men. That's 4 truckloads a week in just that small neighborhood.

My all time favorite. I use to drink atleast 5 40s every Friday night for years. They should have never stop making those.

I love love loved Private Stock Beer back in the 80s, when You could eat or drink what ever You wanted and Private Stock was My First beer of choice. I had to hide in My room when I first tried it because I was 19 at the time an Momma did not approve of liquor. I was surprised, She walked in My room one night and I was sitting up on my bed drinking so I had to think quickly and slipped the bottle under the sheets but the bottle fell under the sheets and the Private Stock Beer spilled all over the bed. Let's just say she said what is that smell and I was busted.

In 2022 I wanted to buy some private stock and looked it up on the net. I found out that is was discontinued in 2012 I think my question is why? The best drink ever, loved that slightly burnt taste. Before I left for the navy in in 1989 me and my boys enjoyed those at night while kicking back and talking smack. Never seen it the whole 20 years I served and had forgotten about it until 2022. THE BEST MALT LIGOUR

Mark wrote on Monday 18 September 2023:

Had a nostalgic moment and looked up Haffenfaffer, a beer a choice in my youth for its flavor and power to weight ratio. Spent many a summer afternoon on Malibu Beach (the Boston one -if you know, you know) getting mellow and figuring out the puzzles. Would definitely drink it again if it resurfaced.

Vince P wrote on Saturday 19 August 2023:

I’m so sad now. I’m 60 years old and haven’t drank private stock since the 80s. I lost my virginity to private stock

Anthony Sykes wrote on Friday 5 May 2023:

Bring it back! This was one of the smoothest malt liquors we sipped on in Texas back in the day! Anytime I went back home to Texas my cousins knew I had a cooler full of those 16oz green bottles of Private Stock so bring it back would be alright with me!

Thomas O'Keefe wrote on Monday 10 April 2023:

We used to call it HeffenWrecker, cheap way to get wrecked. I first encountered it in the late 80s early 90s in Missoula Montana . I never saw it back east, new york, where I was from. I could never figure out how they were able to make the puzzles under the cap harder and harder. The first one was easy but the 10th was impossible.

Please bring back heffy. I know this beer would be a hit again for sure. Many nights in the 80,s had this beer by my side.

P Haskel wrote on Tuesday 28 June 2022:

Like most of these reviews, I was also a fan favorite of the “Haffy” Private Stock lager…. can’t believe they have discontinued this flavorful beer. Maybe a class action suit may be in order to bring this back to market… and I know I am not alone on this subject m.

Lance wrote on Wednesday 25 May 2022:

Used to drink this back in early 1980’s - 16ouncers too! Was kind of a malt liquor to my taste. The rebus puzzles on the bottle caps were great. Ballantine ale had those same picture puzzles.

Ozzy wrote on Thursday 5 May 2022:

Methuen, MA here. I've lost count of how many years have gone by since my therapy sessions with a Haffy. A bad day at work, a horrible one sided marriage and all I needed was a small deluxe pizza with anchovies from 'Mano's in Glen Forest and a Haffy by my side and the horrible world melted away. Why oh why can nobody see the true wisdom and joy that this brew brought to many a person. It must be brought back! Even in a limited test release. PLEASE!!!

Jackie Buford wrote on Monday 1 July 2019:

I really don’t like beer but this beer or ( malt liquor ) has a different taste to it and it is the only beer that I will ever drink. So I was wondering where can I find it in Nashville TN or ,can it be shipped or ,can it be purchased online? My last time being able to purchase this beer was the late 90’s so can you please return it to the Nashville area. The only beer that doesn’t really have that beer taste. Thank you
