Old Milwaukee

This one goes out to Gilde and the Salamanders. Thanks for letting me gank one of these little nasties.

Really, what is there to say about the Old Swil. I don't like this beer. It has a really punget, skunky, shit beer taste. Don't get me wrong, I can appreciate a good shitty beer, this one just ain't it.

It's one of those heavier types of beer too. Reeeeeeeeeal heavy.

It's been a number of years since I've consumed one of these little bad boys, and really, I don't think I'm missing much. This is not a beer that makes many appearances at softball either.

Old Mil is another beer from the Pabst company. We had a debate a few weeks ago on how Pabst is brewed these days. In doing some research, it appears that the Pabst brands are contract brewed at miller plants. Pabst is nothing more than a marketing and distribution company. They have an interesting stable of lowgrade brews, though, including Hamms, which we discussed earlier. They also have Lone Star, Stroh's, Colt 45, and the whole stable of former Heilemans brews, including old style.

I'm sitting here at about 10:00 the following day, and still have a faint aftertaste of this one in my mouth. Or perhaps it's the gray wolf vodka from the greenie that I foolishly consumed last night.

A side note for my fellow eleauguers – I'm really unimpressed with just about every team's staying power at Jaros, with the notable exception of the Bean Counting Bombers. I turned around at 10:00 and was the only green machinist left in the bar. There were still approximately 8 Bean Counters still there. Props to them. The reason I was given is that they pace themselves, while the rest of us are maniacal drunks. This is mostly true.
