Old - Old Style vs New - Old Style

I finally get down to basics and a good old fashioned side by side tasting test of the new La Crosse Wisconsin brewed Old Style Lager.

This is one of my uncles favorite beers. Another uncle's parents had this on tap at home.

I like the new one better. It has a little more punch and I like the slight bitterness at the end.

[@LandOfSkyBeerWaterscom]

Yeah I agree. At one point it was like this before

[@bryanlentz7160]

Need to try it yet. Hope to this weekend!

[@bryanlentz7160]

I tried the new one tonight, and I too like it better! Has a slight bitter bite at the end, but it’s like a German Pilsner. Went down smooth. Very drinkable!

oh yeah..great video🍻

[@bryanlentz7160]

I saw something where Pabst said it has to do with the yeast they’re using in the La Crosse. Once they finish tweaking it, it should be better. Don’t think the Milwaukee version is Krauesened either!

i remember my 1st old style back in 1982, it had a "sweet" kind of taste to it, i just found some old style down here 40 miles away at ash flat, arkansas, we can't get it in southern missouri, it has that old sweet taste i remember, maybe it does taste somewhat like it used to. compared to the "old" old style, in reality, i like both of them, at least it's not miller, coors or pudweiser and for my money, i'll continue to buy it.

We would call the hangover kreusing poisoning.

Was curious about this myself but couldn't get an old Milwaukee batch near me when I picked up the LaCrosse. I think I like the new batches better so far actually. Seems like a slightly higher quality but who knows maybe just a fresh batch/placebo effect. Does seem a little more pilsenry with the bitterness. anyway cool idea!

I heard Schlitz was now made at City Brewing too. I think they have three breweries nationwide. Never been impressed with their results.

[@LandOfSkyBeerWaterscom]

I believe I heard that too. Maybe it will improve at the new location

Memphis, LaCrosse, and Irwindale, CA.

Sad the label doesn't match the og recipe

[@LandOfSkyBeerWaterscom]

@@etiennescarbinski7890 Yeah they keep changing things and I wish they would just stick to what is good

[@etiennescarbinski7890]

@LandOfSkyBeerWaterscom city brewery krauesened a beer think it was called city lager for a bit but wasn't too good. Pabst had a micro brewery in Milwaukee and were making beers with the old recipes they found in the US Milwaukee archives from what the tour guide said. Red white and blue and andeker were awesome

[@LandOfSkyBeerWaterscom]

@@etiennescarbinski7890 Yes I went there a couple years back and had a few of them. I ironically just made a post about Andeker last week on my instagram account
