Tough question and quest...sorry you lost your Dad's hat.

Here are a few more possibilities from ebay:

A link to a Stroh's patch if you like the idea of adding something to the hat in your picture:

I scoured the web looking for a replacement hat. I found lots of Stroh's ballcaps (some red), straw hats, etc - but no red beanie with the Stroh's logo.

It appears that Pabst Brewing Co., who acquired Stroh's, is only putting out a limited amount of Stroh's merchandise.

I think the previous poster was correct - you are going to have to create your own hat at this point. Even if you were able to find one, it would be used - and you probably don't want to wear somebody's old stinky hat.

I also found another patch you could use (more retro):

Stroh's has not been doing well enough in recent years to produce much in the way of advertising/logo items. In fact, their current site does not sell any. In some cases one can get unusual beer items at the brewery gift shop; but you can't do that with Stroh's because they stopped brewing years ago. Now they are just a brand name produced by Miller.

So you will have to look on ebay. There is an entire hobby devoted to collecting old beer logo stuff, it's call breweriana. Someone out there has one and might eventually sell it. You can make a search on ebay and get it to email you when one turns up. Ebay is great for collectors of obscure stuff.

However, as others have suggested you might find a patch and a hat and have the skill to combine them. It won't be the same though.

But I have a question. Do you really want your dad wearing a hat with a more or less defunct mass market beer that never was much good anyway? Active breweries have all sorts of items for sale.

Why not get him a Sierra Nevada beanie knit cap? It's available in a choice of colors (mine is maroon) at a reasonable price. Maybe your dad will even try the beer, which is a heck of a lot better than Strohs. Their lineup includes some relatively light beers as well as the hoppy ones.

Here is the link to the on line gift shop:
