Any point in me trying this stuff? Any kinds you like?

Also I remember as a kid back in the 80s seeing a 40 that had a I believe a blue bull on the label. Does anyone know the name of this malt liquor? It has been bugging me recently for some reason.

Schlitz malt liquor. They had a commercial where the bull would be running around busting things up.


Schlitz Malt Liquor Bull - YouTube

At least around here it was popular in more diverse neighborhoods. It is cheap and strong, you could get a good buzz off it. In college, it was a popular cheap buzz. Available in 40 oz... hold the bag.

Not too bad but will kick your butt: Mickey's, glass stubby bottles with a bee logo on there.

Ehh, I bought Colt 45 awhile back for nostalgia's sake, and it was pretty bad. Once you drink beer with flavor, it's tough to go back.

Molson makes one called Brador. I don't think you can buy it in US and it's been years since I've had any, but back in the 80s we used to smuggle in a case or two whenever we were driving to Canada. Much more drinkable than any US malt liquor I've ever had. 6% ABV.

Its cheap hooch. One step above a bottle of Thunderbird while hopping freight trains. Its not meant to enjoy, its meant to eliminate sobriety.

LOL 40oz malt liquor.

I used to drink it in highschool. I probably couldnt drink it now if I wanted, well...maybe.

Some that I have tried are:

Steel Reserve- will have you buzzing by the time you get to the label, pretty strong and very heavy tasting. Must drink cold and fast.

Private Stock- I actually got into this stuff as a joke a couple years ago, not too bad. Heavy tasting and got me feeling pretty nice after just one.

King Cobra- My favorite malt, Like Bud but stronger, made by A-B also. I havent had it in years but I enjoyed it, not half bad until you get sick of it.

Mickeys- Cant seem to find any on the east coast but I drank it when I was in Cali and I really enjoyed it. The caps have riddles on them I think. Ive been trying to find some around where I live but I just cant...???

Malt beer aside, I still buy Bud 40s. They have a certain taste and its easier for me to have one bottle rather than multiple before going out. I also enjoy Black Label beer in the 40oz, I can drink like 3 of them this beer is really good. havent had it in a couple years now.

I mainly drink just Bud now.


Oh I forgot to mention, When I was in highschool doing all kinds of beer research I cam across a website, it served me well and has a ton of info. Check it out for all your malt beverage needs!

Also, If you only drink occasionally or drink regular beer, you may be disgusted in malt liquor. I wouldnt mix it with any other alcohol either.

It depends on where you live. In Texas, Stella Artois and Wiestephaner, and other high-end beers that are also (relatively) higher ABV beers are labeled as Malt Liquor. Not sure if other states have this law. I believe it is about to change.

Yeah, Texas has it s own labeling laws, pretty screwy. I would choose Mickey's over Stella, though.
