Several changes, mostly for readability. Feel free to make comments/improvements.--Elgringo18 23:41, 9 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ramones?

I'm not sure this page is completely factual. I'm a Ramones fan, and I've never, ever, ever heard of any songs by them referencing Steel Reserve 211. I suspect that much of the page is sourced from the Steel Reserve website, which is purely for marketing purposes, and has a section where users can listen to the supposed Ramones songs. I am unable to verify from listening, as I use dial up. The point is, I think this article needs a bit more research. TheMightyGrecian 09:58, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Those songs are most likely by the Ramones. If not they sound exactly like them. I am absoultely sure this article is not factual. Steel Brewing Company also makes Sparks which is a premium malt beverage. -josh. 1/19/06

The songs are creditied as "performed by" the Ramones on Steel Reserve's website. It also says it was for a radio ad, so most likely they just tapped the Ramones to get the sound they wanted for their commercials. The current article does seem non-NPOV, which I aim to fix right now. Um, while incidentally drinking a Steel Reserve. Please have mercy ofr any tyops. >hickup< Durty Willy 04:04, 16 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Right now I'm living in student accommodation and this stuff is what everyone drinks coz its cheap and hella strong. I'm glad to pay twice as much to drink Corona. - m0rt 3/8/06

8.1% alcohol by volume... the stuff gets you tanked. Doesn't taste as bad as reported. What do you expect?

I'm not sure that Steel Reserve was the first beer to have "High Gravity" on the label. I believe that St. Ides High Gravity was available earlier. Senatorpjt 00:03, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Milwaukee, WI

As a Milwaukeean I must say that I have never heard of Steel Brewing Company before. The splash image on their website shows "Milwaukee, WI" but the row of cans afterwards has "Fortworth." Various beer websites state that the company is in Longview, TX while a Whois lookup on the domain lists Mckenzie River Corporation of San Francisco, CA with no phone numbers. Can someone more familiar with the product look in to this? 72.131.44.247 01:29, 30 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Steel Reserve is a brand created by the McKenzie River Corporation whose contents are produced by Miller Brewing. In July 2006, Miller Brewing announced that they were acquiring the Steel Reserve brand.[1]Jvandyke 03:47, 5 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

History

Quick Question

I switch to 211 months ago, I noticed that you can get 6.0 in silver cans and I spotted the Black Label 8.1. Tried both decided that the 6.0 silver was for me. Then to my surprise I bought 8.1 in silver cans. Is this a mistake or does it depend on which state you purchase it. I live on the state line and I still purchase 6.0 in silver in one state then when I cross the line the silver cans are 8.1. Just wondering why both states dont carry 8.1 in the black cans. Thank you 211man

Tall Boys

What's the reference of a tall boy as a 24 oz can. I've only ever heard this as a 16 oz can, usually sold as a sixer.

Please see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tallboy -- which indicates that a "Tall Boy" may be 16 or 24 fl. oz. Personally, I've always thought of a tall boy (or "tall can") as 24 fl. oz., but I think that the latter is likely the newer development of the two. To be specific, about six years ago I was working in grocery retail, and the beer distributor was referring to 24 fl. oz. packages as "tall boys" at that time, so it's definitely nothing coming out of nowhere.

Bold text*** Seven-11 Staple ***

Lets face it, this "beer" is intended to get you hammered and nothing else. I like it actually, it has a nice kick to it I maen, have you ever seen someone have a "casual" Steel Reserve"? I'm sure they exist, but I have yet to see one.

Georgia Legality

This article requires updating, but I don't know the right source to address the problem. I have been buying the 8.1% ABV for years in Georgia, and this was possible when the State passed a law legalising high alcohol beers. Can anybody find this law and cite it to update this article?

High Gravity

I was hoping to see at least some technical discussion as to what it is, 'High Gravity', or perhaps at least a link to some other page which would expound on that.
