Old Style Beer Review - Cheap Beer Taste Test

This Old Style Beer Review is another classic cheap beer taste test that I decided to do after it was requested of me. Prior to this I've never heard of Old Style Beer so I did a little digging and found that only two places locally sold Old Style beer. They ended up being $17.99 for a 24 pack which qualifies it for the cheap beer taste test series that I decided to do after the Hamms tasting went so well.
So in this Old Style Beer review I go head to head with a beer that has been around since the early 1900s and survived Prohibition by converting into a "Near Beer" named New Style Beer. Old Style Beer is popular in the Chicago region and they even sponsored the Chicago Cubs at some point in their history.
Have a cheap beer you'd like to see me try? Comment down below and if I can find it I'll grab a cold one and try it out in a future installment.

*********About An Idiots Liquor**********
An Idiots Liquor was created in 2015 by Eric, the original drink idiot. I decided to name the channel this way to be honest about the fact that I am no bar expert. In truth you could say I was still very green to the whole concept.
However this doesn't stop me from making a channel about liquor that I want to. I want this channel to be a place where users can come with all experience types and backgrounds to learn about drinks. Some channels are intimidating with their expensive booze or their extremely talented bartenders. Here at An Idiots Liquor it's all about the at home amateur mixologists. So relax, have fun, and lets drink.

Old Style was my dad's beer growing up. It still makes some of the best beer brats around.

[@JimmyEmerald]

Old style is such a chicago classic

[@giovanniscimeca7761]

My Uncle loved Old Style. He started drinking it in 1952 and drank it til the day he died. He use to always say “ One for the Old Style!” I miss my uncle. Old Style is Chicago’s beer

[@Spenny0914]

You should really keep up the budget friendly beer reviews. Really enjoyed this one! Would love to see PBR, High Life, and others. Some blind tastings between 3-4 selections would be great as well.

[@thehuntergod5578]

Old Style was the teenager go to in the early 90’s in Chicago and Illinois suburbs, the bottles were awesome lol.

[@aestheticswim3397]

Shameless

[@GTSN38]

Ever have the little fat bottles ? Those were the sht ! I miss the 80s and 90s

[@user-zx8de8op9l]

My uncle has been drinking this for ever. Another uncles parents has this on tap at home. Yes it was popular in Chicago.

[@wirebeam]

It's still brewed in lacrosse wi under contract with city brewery for pabst.

[@rban123]

Oh it’s definitely still popular in Chicago. You see bars with the old style sign out front all over

[@itsallaboutdiva895]

Yes, you should keep doing cheap beer reviews, not too many people doing that on KZbin. Curious what the ABV on this beer is.

[@HeyLetsDrink]

Its actually 4.64%. I forgot to include that.

[@andywarda1481]

Old Style was and still is pretty popular in Chicago. Not sure how popular these days, but I still see Old Style signs outside of bars all over. It is a cheap beer and it has a light flavor but that's ok. I've had some cheap beers where yak piss would be preferable. It's kind of like the cheese pizza of beer. It's simple and basic but sometimes that is what I want.

[@Sh00terMcGavinXL]

I'm fom Chicagoland, love Old Style 🍺 🍻

[@di0medies0011]

Still everywhere in Chicago - any grocery store in the area will have it and any bar in the area will probably have it on tap

[@Chiaomori]

I live in the non-chicago part of illinois, and I love this beer. but in the more rural parts of illinois there's a lot less old style, and a lot more miller and bud. It's still pretty easy to find at liquor stores, but not so much at bars in the area.

[@paulbeinlich9822]

G. Heileman started in 1858 and G. Heileman's brewery in 1872, La Cross Wisconsin. Old Style was its biggest seller and the 4th largest brewery in United States in 1983, so it's not a small unknow beer! It used to be huge in Chicago and Wisconsin. Not sure how popular it is today with the advent of all the "craft" beers.

[@dylanreynolds1165]

A beer my family from the UP of Michigan loves is Blatz. Up by them it's roughly 14 bucks for a 24pk. I can't seem to find it most places around me in central Wisconsin but I have found a few stores that carry it.

[@leemehan]

Superior discount liquor carries Blatz and u can get a 24-pack of bottled Blatz for $15 bucks in Wisconsin!

[@fossil-bit8439]

Love these cheap reviews. You should do a whole series of cheap beer. Schlitz, Blatz, Strohs, Pabst, Old Milwaukee, this list is huge!

[@andypaschke1980]

G Heilmans old style was brewed in LaCrosse Wisconsin God's country. Stick with the budget beers like Blatz always fun

[@LayLow83]

You kinda went on and on. Ok I get it. However I grew up with a buddy whose parents escaped Hitler’s Germany. His parents worked hard and became working man’s wealthy. They loved Old Style Beer. We were living in the Chicago Suburbs at the time.

[@roymarrs-ff9vd]

My favorite cheap beer. That said I think you called it right

[@itsallaboutthecocktail]

Dude, that's from God's country, (that's what the commercials used to say). The beer of my growing up days. We used to make up & tell stories about the things on the can. My father used to drink that & put in salt when the head dissipated. I am from the Chicago suburbs and most bars would have an Old Style sign out front or a neon in the window. Extremely popular here years ago.

[@drcherrykush6725]

chicago REPRESENT! THE go to raq beer

[@itsallaboutthecocktail]

@@drcherrykush6725 , You know it -fully krausened!

[@ChicagoMike85]

I still drink old styles whenever I want just a nice refreshing beer to throw back

[@GTSN38]

Beer is supposed to be simple. The stuff you young guys drink today, the craft beers, are not real beer. You're not suppose to be tasting honey with a touch of nuttiness and a hint of flora, that's not beer it's hybrid beer ! OS is good beer, I can understand you thinking it sucks, but most real beer drinkers will be totally satisfied with old style

[@Elyk91388]

A great Chicago classic!! Yes, it is still very popular in Chicago (I live there). Old Style is our beer, and they can't have it.

[@MattStaysGold]

old stlye is Chicago's beer, if the bar dont have a old stlye flag (old light) outside it aint worth stopping in

[@dane5896]

Never seen it in NJ. 🍻

[@fightinamish8183]

Love Old Style! Hope it picks up steam like PBR did. It's the same price range, and tastes wayyyy better than PBR. Pabst can't hold a candle to Old Style.

[@cypherus]

Really? Pabst is my go to at my local dive and is great on tap. What is the difference?

[@wilbostic1004]

Yeah bro if you ever come up to Illinois Midwest East Chicago Indiana Gary Indiana that's what we drink up here no we drink a lot of beer but my camp drink a lot of old style just got that flavor that Crisp taste can't get enough of man oh yeah and it's cheap for a six pack is only $3.25 😂😂😂😂🍻

[@robertsvoboda1912]

Old Style is still popular in the Chicago area. I've been drinking it for years. That's mothers milk!

[@leemehan]

This is not the same Old Style from years ago! Not even close to the same formula and they don't even Krausen it anymore!

[@robertsvoboda1912]

@@leemehan Agreed, but I still love it!

[@leemehan]

@@robertsvoboda1912 - If u like beer- flavored water! Lol! It is lighter than Budweiser which has hardly any taste at all!

[@robertsvoboda1912]

@@leemehan It's ok. It is my go-to domestic beer and has been since I was a kid.

[@mcfwelding]

TRY EXTRA GOLD, think its made by coors its just called extra gold

[@zachzeurcher6450]

Bruh Hamms is not better

[@jamesrogers2382]

Old Style is trash. I’m from the Chicago area and never understood the love.

[@leemehan]

That is not he same Old Style from years ago! It is not Krausened and not the same recipe that is for sure! It is not Old Style from years past!
