Commercial Description:
Since 2001, contract-brewed for Pabst Brewing (San Antonio), as Pabst no longer owns a brewery of its own. Piels introduction of Real Draft in cans was a milestone in brewing history. Today's Draft Style still offers that same unsurpassed tap beer flavor. Brewed by "Piels Bros. Brewing" - a pseudonym for Pabst.

Picked up two tall boys of Piels for under a $1.50 in beautiful Camden New Jersey. Poured one into a glass and consumed the second out of the can while in the shower. Much better than I thought it would be, it was a flat, corn beer but did have flavor as well. A cheap beer worth trying at least once.

Piels has all the characteristics of a cheap domestic beer. It’s somewhat bready, there’s nothing special about it but if you want to get drunk you can drink it all night.

Palatable only if served at a very low temperature. Recommend drinking a six pack of quality beer before drinking this. I dub this selection the "Beer of Kings".

This is not horrible. Definitely better than Michelob, Heineken, Moosehead and some of the other more highly regarded high-school beers. Another one you could drink 20 of and not puke. I drank the better part of a twelve-pack that I picked up at the local beverage discount center for $4 plus deposit. I was actually looking for Schlitz, and almost settled for Schmidt’s, but went with Piels and am not regretting it. Pours light, has very faint taste but completely non-offensive. Virtually no aftertaste. I rate this well ahead of PBR from the same family of cheap US made beer.

I would prefer this over some of the name brands, unfortunately its made by miller so that’s not even valid.
