Style: Pilsener

Comments:
When I think of Key West, I think of warm, tropical breezes and one big party. How surprised I was to open up this beer and get a whiff of something that smelled a lot like Old Style. The sharp Pils scent really betrayed a taste that was a lot smoother and creamier than the bite I expected. Overall, though, this is a pretty average beer. It’s not great, but it’s not crap either, and I suspect that if you’re a Midwesterner who does enjoy Old Style in the summer, then flies to Key West in the winter to sport Hawaiian shirts and drink away the cold weather, this might be right up your alley.

Beer Dorks News

Did Anheuser-Busch Chicago offer their shit beer to Cody Parkey before his missed field goal? Because that may explain why he "accidentally" biffed it. Chicago now has the most breweries of any city in the country. Other things Chicago has the most of: murders, mobsters, and Ditkas. Trying to spin it positive, BA releases end of year graphic. Only 5% growth in the craft sector when nearly 1000 new breweries opened? That's a collapse waiting to happen. R.I.P. Tallgrass... another casualty as the regional/national craft beer market continues to get squeezed. Wait... Constellation Brands cut all of the Ballast Point and Funky Buddha sales staff? They merged it with their Corona/Modelo staff?? We're SHOCKED!!! Pizza Beer founder crying about failure of company, blames everyone else. Reminder, the beer tasted like vomit. Try having better ideas or making better products so you're not a failure. It's Bud Light so doesn't really matter, but we expect this beer to be sitting around for awhile. Indiana brewery to open with controversial beer names to "get the conversation going". Translation: taking advantage of serious issues for free publicity. Hundreds of amazing beers in Wisconsin and the Cubs took back the one everyone drinks just because it exists and people have heard of it. How fitting... New Green Flash owners tab former AB exec to lead "turnaround". Gosh, wonder what his plan is...
