UPDATED: JAN 12, 2005 This stuff was awesome. I never had it until i went to Green Bay for a Packers game. The gas stations sold this stuff for an unbelievably low price. Also its made by Pabst, which already makes it great. Perfect for trailer trash like me.

The Offcial beer of Uttr Kaos!!! can i say anymore? the best in the midwest?

you can drink a 30 of old steez and still be well rested and ready to face the day in the morning.. kid tested UTTER KAOS approved

very good and smooth going down. much better then old style light.

UPDATED: SEP 4, 2007 Very good beer. I just bought some tonight and I am impressed. Very crisp taste and is foamy enough for me. It is hard for me to pick a favorite between Pabst Blue Ribbon and Old Style. Plus it is made by Pabst, perfect! Another cheap beer that kicks the expensive beers in the butt. You just can’t go wrong.

UPDATED: AUG 22, 2008 I have no idea what some of these other guys are drinking - to confuse this golden nectar with comments obviously intended for Red, White, and Blue or perhaps Coors. Slightly more bitter than the original G Heilemann receipt - which of course was "fully Kraeusened", OS today is still extremely enjoyable, and may I say - romantic. Many judge the foam content of OS based on their own narrow experience with CO2 blasted brews fm St. Louis or the Rockies. Like a silk covering, OS is "naturally carbonated" and one expects a gift from nature to be bestowed sparingly. Hints of sweet malt and a touch of corn perhaps isn’t familar to the Guiness crowd but here in the Midwest it reminds us of warm summer nights, softball games, or that lone bar in the country whose dusty parking lot is lit by that G. Heilemann sign in the distance. Best on tap or of course in bottles, dont blame the beverage if your bartender is too cheap to clean his tap lines or if your store foolishly placed this finely crafted beverage next to the hot water heater before moving it to the cooler. Smooth as silk and as golden and drinkable as the sun in Spring, OS may not be fashionable with those who pay double digits for a pint of bubbled mud from some aging yuppie turned brewmeister - but with its heritage firmly rooted in "God’s Country" I say bless midwest America and give me a glass of Old Style any day!

I don’t know what any of these people are talking about. This is one of the best beers I’ve ever had. I’m in the military, so it has been difficult for me to get my hands on this stuff. When I finally did, I let some people in my shop try it. NOT ONE COMPLAINT. This is the greatest blue collar beer out there.

Cracking open a can reminds one of tailgaiting at Lambeau Field on a frigid Sunday afternoon in December surrounded by camoflauge draped fat Wisconsin snowcows.

Yes a macrobrew, but better tasting that Miller or Bud products. Still holds its own in Chicago (they sell it at Wrigley Field). Good price for a good every day beer.

Old Style used to dominate Chicago. (As of two years ago they served it at Wrigley Field.) It’s a crisp workingsman beer -- you can pound down a few after work and not be woozy.
