re: What ever happened to Milwaukee’s Best Beer

Ah, the Beast... good memories from my days in the 80's

A couple observations- it was generally nasty, but about a 6-pack in you didn't care.

Also- a buddy and I got a keg of it from Katering Kegs over off Gardere once. I have to say, iced down and in draft form, it was significantly better than in can form.

Something that was both shocking and endearing... I have relatives in upstate NY. On a visit there, I caught a Sabres (NHL Hockey) match. Milwaukee's Best was actually a big sponsor, they had giant Unleash The Beast signs in the arena. This was when they had Dominik Hasek at goalie, early 90's. I was amazed both that they would spend that money, and that a big-league sports franchise would "stoop" to displaying that brand. But it also made me love the NHL.

I looked, but can't find an image. Here's a couple other teams with beer ads, Labatt's Blue


Miller Lite


Buffalo had the Beast
