Blech. Even writing about Old Milwaukee conjures up visions of pit-fires down at “The Quarry” back in high-school.
(Oh, Iris - come back to me, my darling…)
It’s funny: I’m a big-fan of cheapo beer when the mood hits, but Old Milwaukee just turns my stomach. Maybe it’s that I’ve been weaned on the skunked taste of Natty Ice, but I find absolutely no reason to throw back one of these bogus brews.
Ah, the taste: Old Milwaukee tastes like month-old Budweiser and year-old corn flakes. Nice, right? Yeah…it’s not so nice when you attempt to down one while stone-cold sober. As a pre-game beer it’s just plain bad - after a few forced swigs I wanted to go home, curl up with a good book and quit drinking altogether.
“The Beast?” Give me a break. Read More »

I enjoy Budweiser as much as the other guy, but Natural Ice should wipe it out of existence. Why go for the best when you can go for the…rest?
Natural Ice (Nasty Ice; Natty Ice for the enlightened) is Bud without the working-man’s price (read: tailor-made for college). A 12-pack costs as much as most sixers and gets you off-the-rocker drunk.
If you drink to get wasted, wasted you will get.
With some beers it’s necessary to break down the distinct taste, aroma and head - not with Natty. This budget brew contains more alcohol than regular beers (5.9), not to mention packing a taste reminiscent of skunked Bud and whorish sweat. Funny enough, hangovers are almost non-existent.
Head? Don’t offend Natty that way. This ain’t no precious micro-brew; this is distilled party piss with hops.
The greatest asset Natural Ice has going for it is the miraculous flavor-change that happens when you’re over 6-beers deep. Not only does it then taste exactly like Bud, but it goes down as easy as spring water. Read More »
