Got off night shifts this morning and had a breakfast at Shari's.
After breakfast I picked up a six pack of Kokanee glacier fresh beer and a can of Steel Reserve. I've been meaning to try Steel Reserve for some time. I drink the Kokanee then popped the top on the Steel Reserve. Took a swig and instantly got this funny feeling in my stomach. I barely make it to the porcelain god before I start to upchuck my breakfast. I've been drinking beer for thirty years and have had all kinds of nasty beers, such as Corona and Heineken, without 
Holy puke, Batman...what do they put in this swill to cause such a reaction? I apologize that this kind of sounds like a gene5 thread. 
ETA: Has anybody else had such an immediate reaction to something? |

If you've been drinking beer for 30 years you should know better.
It's for under-agers and those too poor to buy Milwaukee's Best, Hamm's or Blatz.

My father drank Steel Reserve for years. I'm guessing because it was cheap and gave an uber buzz. He had a stroke from high blood pressure due to alcoholism. After his stroke I took up his place as the family drunk, half the time my beverage of choice was steel reserve.

It's generally sold in tallboy single cans, but you can find it in cases. I would advise you to buy only one. It's...an acquired taste.

Stay away from brews favored by hobos is usually a general rule of thumb.
High alcohol content + low price = usually vomit juice |

I drank the shit pretty regularly in college. I'd knock out a tall can of 211 before I went out for the night, and I couldn't have been but 21 or 22 years old. You can take it.

One time I was a little tired of work, and I simply wanted a "Big Beer". I saw a SR in the liquor store and grabbed it. I enjoyed the taste of it. I didn't notice the high alcohol content - maybe I didn't care.
I'd try it again |

Whenever I find someone drinking on the stoop of a vacant house, or while stumbling down an alley, they always have a Steel Reserve or King Cobra. High gravity is where it's at.

Hahaha what do they put in it? Well around here at least its 8.something% and cheap as hell. Drink it ice cold drink it fast and drink a lot of it, let the good times roll. Not under age here, poor yes. Usually if I am in that mood I will go for some Colt 45 but when your extra piss poor and need the best bang for your buck, Steel Reserve baby. "Proudly union made" I could do without though.

You should try it lukewarm in the summer just prior to a Disturbed show.

LOLOLOL steel reserve...I understand it taste the way it does because it is brewed in a steel vat and it comes out with a green tint from the metals it picked up in the process...I havent verified this but the brew itself is atrocious to say the least. |

Never said there was, aside from being a standard bargain beer, just that its more expensive than SR, and considerably less offensive to the palate. I used to get dollar bottles of Blatz at one of the local rural dive bars a couple years ago too.

Steel reserved is a special type of gross. We did a white elephant that involved booze. Suprisingly the one with steel reserve showing did not get unwrapped until the end when there were no more trades allowed.

My friends used to play a game where they would find oddball beer and see if I would be able to drink it. Midas Touch and Steel Reserve are the only beers that I could not finish.

That's cause Steel Reserve ain't beer. It's that-there Malt Liquor stuff. Actually I think it's a "fortified" beer with Malt Liquor added.
