As any chicagoan I love me some old style

[@user-zx8de8op9l]

My uncle drinks this beer he is 65. I see it everywhere in northern Illinois.

Another great review

Morgan County, Alabama. Sitting here drinking a PBR. I love Old Style. Brewed now by City Brewing Co., which brews Pabst also. I love cheap American adjunct beer. Lawnmower beer, grandpaw beer, bowling alley beer. Hell yes! Get it cold!

[@johnbanco862]

Iam 68...that was the keg party beer with red solo cup.ins! Ah ! The good old 70s

Old style is a very drinkable beer I’ll be drinking old style when I visit Chicago in June to see the cubbies

Buffalo, NY here. Been a viewer for quite a while. Cheers man!

[@CheapBrewReview]

Awesome! Thank you!

Both sides of my family are from the Chicago area. This is still the beer I associate with blue-collar beer drinking. I don't really like it, but it's nostalgic for me.

[@docwillis1443]

Got my first taste of old style when I helped a friend move to Chicago back in 2000. Good stuff for the price.

Chicago’s South Side. Weaned on Old Style. Reminds me of grade school and high school. I also liked the Miller High Life video. Magical stuff. I’ve moved on with my life. Now I drink Stella and Guinness and a host of other choices that weren’t readily available to us back then. What a world! We are spoiled for choice!

Reminds you of grade school? lol. Thanks for your view, sub and support - CHEERS!

Woodstock, IL (NW suburb of Chicago). Sorry you didn't like it. Old Style is best enjoyed on a hot summer day at beautiful Wrigley Field! Maybe after the last tall boy you might like it more? Keep up the great work!

[@reptiledysfunction5512]

Love me some Old Style. Can't get it around here tho.

[@CheapBrewReview]

I think it would taste best enjoyed in its natural surroundings of Chicago. Might be time for a road trip! Thanks for your view sub and support - cheers!

[@user-do2ev2hr7h]

I'm convinced that Old Style somehow tastes better if consumed within the confines of Chicagoland.

[@user-do2ev2hr7h]

Growing up in the Chicago area, my friends and I drank thousands of these Old Styles. It's good stuff.

[@zzmikey]

I'm from Chicago. I can.t drink our Old Style anymore. miiler bought it and changed the recipe.I think they lowered the ABV a lot, too! Best to drink it ice cold with random shots of vodka or Seagram's Seven. I saw a tall OS and a shot of Malort for $5 at a bar. We used to prefer the keg or bottles. Back in the day there was and old style sign on every bar on every block. Now the bars are gone and the signs are, too.

[@CheapBrewReview]

I was watching the movie "OLD SCHOOL" last night and Will Ferrel's character was drinking an OS when working on his Camaro. I've seen the movie MANY times and that was the first time I noticed the beer. Thanks for your view, sub and support - CHEERS!

Fair score, your Old Style review parallels your Members Only jacket (old style) Nice spin bro :))) Another awesome review :0)))

I've bought this, on road trips, but I've definitely NEVER seen it, in Louisiana.

[@rocketman8476]

Same. I’ve heard you mention it on your channel but I never saw it in ID or VA or any other state I’ve lived in.

@ronaldtheriot I really wish you would review it Jay on a hot Louisiana day!!

I'm from wisconsin so i've had a few.Used to be a great beer.

You need to review the "Green Death": Special Export....its going on the 4 shelf

[@davidcox3076]

I remember the 70s and 80s family reunions. Lots of Old Style and Hamms cans in the coolers. Being in STL, we also had Bud and Busch. But drinking that all week-end got a bit expensive. Once you'd had enough good stuff, the canned piss water didn't taste so bad.

[@joealitz4157]

Where did you find this?!? I can’t find it nj

[@jeffmullins3146]

Viewing from Plano, Texas.

[@davealdersebaes4205]

Fully K'd! Here in Chicago, if you order a "Chicago Handshake", you get an Old Style and a shot of Malort. Both down there bottom feeding both as a beer and a liquor. Nothing beats an Old Style at Wrigley Field though, have to say.

MO here, Springfield area, had Old Style many years ago when I was young experimenting with cheap beers. Don't think they sold too many of these where I was so it could have been in a case for too long, it had a sour taste yuck

[@carlomarinello7048]

Mukwonago, Wisconsin, I am unsure if I ever drank Old Style before. Been drinking brews since 1986 when I made the 19 year old drinking age law in ‘sconsin. Blatz, Pabst, Old Milwaukee, Milwaukee’s Best etc, yes! but not Old Style. Gotta look for that one.

[@CheapBrewReview]

Yep, Old Style is right there among that portfolio of beers. In a blind taste test, I'm not sure I could tell the difference lol. Thanks for your view, sub and support - CHEERS!

Wow, I'm in the Alabama/Georgia/Tennessee tristate corner, haven't seen this beer since I lived in Anniston circa 1985. Good drinkable Murka style macrobrew, in those days, as I recall. If you just got off work at the mill, and it was ice cold. Different times. The mills are closed, and so much else has gone down the drain. Vote Blue, O my brothers and Only Friends.

Before they cheapened the ingredients and recipe old style back in the 70s and 80s used to have a very unique flavor, not AAL. We used to call it old swill or dog pile, but living in la crosse WI and Chicago in the 80s 90s, it had a distinctive exotic taste

Old Style used to be had for under $11:00 a case around here (Omaha,NE) before the Hipsters got a hold of it! Not terrible, not great.

[@CheapBrewReview]

Yeah, I thought $7.99 was pushing it. Should be more like Hamm's at $5.99 at most. Thanks for your view, sub and support - CHEERS!

PBR owns most of the retro labels, so they are all going to taste very similar. Old Style of today is nothing like what it once was. Nor are all the other retro beers

Old Style used to share a brewing technique with Genesee Cream Ale where they add active wort during the lagering phase.

Watching from Spring Hill TN. Pretty new to beer and stumbled onto German beer. I've viewed all your videos, please do more German/European beers. I can't find any American beer i like anywhere close. Aslo, what is the closest American beer to German beer?
