Beers of My Life and Tipsy Texan.
Both are listed in the blogroll at right, and both are informative and entertaining.
So if I don't post here as often as I should, go give them a read (in moderation, of course).
from Schlitz (actually contract-brewed by Miller).
Schlitz High Gravity V.S.L. (Very Smooth Lager), 8.5% alcohol content.
While visiting a local liquor store, I was checking out some of the 24 oz. cans and I noticed a new brand. It is an attractive black, gold, and silver colored can, emblazoned with the Schlitz Malt Liquor bull motif.
When I opened the can (from the bottom), I wasn't expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised. The beer was surprisingly smooth and drinkable and there was no "alcohol taste" that one might expect with a mass-marketed high-gravity lager.
My friend "mytmalt" said that at the Beer Advocate website, the sole reviewer of this brand gave similar reviews.
