It's funny what some people think, "thinking they can sell a subpar product by advertising and slogans rather than taste and quality." Look at Miller, Budweiser, Coors, Carlsberg. They're all awful tasting beers, but they have the highest sales in America/Europe. I wonder why? I'm afraid we don't live in a world where everyone cares about quality (except from what I've read - the large percentage of pompous readers here at OnMilwaukee). Having said this though, this beer is actually of a very high quality. Most seem to be against it because of its connection to Craig Peterson, rather than for it for its connection to Jim McCabe, a loyal local brewer behind Buffalo Water's recipe and taste. McCabe doesn't own the beer but he's been the architect behind it. And yet again people seem to be commenting on its "quality" before even trying the beer. What a bunch of hypocrites!

How do you define "brewery" ? Are you a brewery if you sell beer that is contract brewed at your friend's real brewery? Or do you just have to come up with a name and a label and do the marketing yourself? All in all, this is a decent beer because it's brewed by the Milwaukee Ale House, so if you like their beers, you'll like this one. I don't know how far the name will get them though.

This beer is a perfect example of someone with money and catchy slogans thinking they can sell a subpar product by advertising and slogans rather than taste and quality. In todays market its going to take more than some trashy slogans to sell beer in BREW CITY....like ohh i dont know....A QUALITY PRODUCT!!!
