Steel reserve is a good beer to sneak into the power section of your beer lineup. They're the Gehrig and Ruth of making you the Yankees of drunkenness.

Steel Reserve has multiple ABV's

Post by Frankennietzsche »

Steel Reserve has multiple ABV's. I did not know this. I picked one up, among other things, and was surprised that it said that the ABV was 8.1%. I didn't remember this being the case, thinking that it was just the same as any other normal malt liquor. I looked it up, and, according to Beer Advocate (which, by the way, cracks me up that this site reviews beer like this) "Brewed in different abv. versions: 6.0%, 7.3%, 8.1%, & reports of a 8.9%".

Still, I think Colt 45 tastes the best of the malt liquors.

I have always heard of the mythical Mickie's 40 ouncers.

I have never seen one. I think that they are an old wives tale. Just like Obama's birth certificate-amIright

I never got the intention behind these huge beer containers.
Back in the day we drank Faxe liter cans because we were young and it looked cool. Oh yeah and because you could mix a good screwdriver in the empty can on the road.
But other than that it gets stale after a while, if not stale already when you open it, depending on beer brand, and warms in your hand.
Drink!

Hmm, maybe its location. They're in every corner liquor store in Southern California. I personally prefer the wide mouth nades mentioned earlier.

One of the selling points is that its large size nearly necessitates that it be chugged as fast as possible to avoid it getting too warm and/or flat.

I prefer the 24-25 oz can to the 40oz. You can usually get 2 for if not the same then nearly the price of a 40oz, put one in the refridgeator as you are drinking, and they are lighter weight and aluminium.

That is the only way that I have had it, and only from one liquor store.

I concur...although I do miss the original bigger "big mouth", with the finger slicing pull-tab.
