Old Style (pack of 12) (4.6%)

Old Style is an American lager brewed at 4.6% ABV and sold as a 12-pack. It is now produced in La Crosse, Wisconsin, where it was brewed for decades, and is associated with Chicago and the Upper Midwest. The brand has roots with the G. Heileman Brewing Company in La Crosse. After ownership changes it came under Pabst Brewing Company, and production returned to La Crosse in November 2023. Historically it was brewed using krausening, but current production relies on forced carbonation. The nose shows sweet corn, white bread and a light sugar-like sweetness with a faint grainy quality. The palate opens with corn sweetness and bready malt, with mild fruity bitterness and malty doughiness, finishing clean and moderately dry with bread crust and subtle hop bitterness.
