Review# 219: Old Milwaukee
Yesterday my boss gave me a half rack of Old Milwaukee because it was the last one and we are no longer going to sell it. We never really did, actually. I’m not sure why it was in the store. It was “my friday”, as we say, so I had planned on drinking a bunch of it. I had never had it before, knew it was going to be bad, but also knew I had had worse. I’m no snob.
I opened one when I got home from work and about an hour later I realized that I wasn’t even half finished with it. It was still cold, but sipping it left a horrid after taste. It’s really, really gross. Not Steel Reserve gross, but this video shows how I feel about it:
(sorry the quality sucks. my camera is the pathetixxorz.)

Used to drink that crap when I was young (your age?). Used to drink PBR too. I suppose I’d at least drink PBR now if nothing else were available.

Seriously, Old Milwaukee may be the worst beer ever. It just makes me so goddamn thirsty. Milwaukee’s Best is pretty bad in a similar way as well. And I just had Colt 45 recently, which has a distinctly mucous-y texture. But that’s malt liquor, I guess, and thus sort of in its own category.
The beauty of Pabst is that it’s the best of the cheap beers, in my opinion. Landon put it this way: You can drink it warm, and it’s palatable, whereas a lot of other cheap beers (I’m looking at you, Old Milwaukee) have to be at absolute zero before one’s throat will consider accepting them.
