Wonder if it's on par with Walgreen's $2.99 beer.
...or the original German brew made from partly baked barley loaves & water that the invading Romans called "pig swill"?

I'll try to reserve judgement. It is only fair to give all brewers a chance to make a good product. It's about the beer, not idealistic philosophies.

Is that similar to the beer I used to see in the grocery store about 30 years ago in the black and white steel cans that said 'Generic' beer?
Reminds me of porkslap ale,something i may never be able to try from the east coast.Im shure porkslap is better than that though. It also remids me of some cheap stuff at Walgreens here which now sells some cheaply priced beer(something-flatts) i may have to do some research and pick some up.

nothing annoys me more than a beer just saying "So and so's 'Ale' ". That tells me nothing.

My non-homebrewing friend picked up a 6'er of the Pig Tail Ale.
It was a bit high on carbonation, but no gushing occurred.
Upon pouring and tasting, this appears to be an Irish Red, somewhat akin to Smithwick's but a bit heavier on the roasted barley. Medium brown with reddish hues. 5.5% ABV.
I would give this a 7/10. An enjoyable beer, certainly not a GABF first place contender but very drinkable.

I remember them being in a pale yellow can...
We don't get pork soda around here. Mr. Crinkle won't truck it up here.
