Alabama Boss Tries The 40s YOU Suggested | Craft Brew Review
Ойын-сауық
Welcome to another episode of Craft Brew Review! In this special "40s Edition," Alabama Boss dives into an eclectic mix of 40 oz beers. Join him as he pops open a cooler full of surprises and gives his unfiltered take on each brew.
Beers Reviewed:
- Busch (32 oz) - Almost the elusive 40, but not quite. Perfect riding shotgun on a dirt road.
- Colt 45 (40 oz) - Classic and reliable, but is it the best option?
- Steel Reserve (42 oz) - Wide mouth, plastic bottle. Sneak this bad boy in anywhere.
- Natural Ice (40 oz) - Headache guaranteed. Ideal for a creek hangout with friends.
- Bud Ice (40 oz) - True 40, but another potential headache in a bottle.
- Mickey's Fine Malt Liquor (40 oz) - Anticipated skunk weed aroma, but surprisingly smooth. Could it be the best of the bunch?

WTH Boss, how can you do a review of 40's without Olde English 800 or St. Ides?!? Those are two of the OG's for us 1980's middle class teenagers! Taste? Yeah, they're good.....drinking for effect? Hell yeah!! You're gonna forget where you left your pants with either of these! LOL

I could be wrong but pretty sure St. Ides stopped making beer under that name in the 90s. Steel Reserve was their replacement. Steel Reserve is much worse. Not sure if St. Ides has made a comeback or whatever, but it was better than SR.

Old men would reaction with some kind of sound when i got in line to buy. A grunt of disapproval and to let me know it's harsh.

I wanna see a review of all the “heavy” American gas station beers. Busch heavy, Bud, MGD, MHL, Banquet, etc
Mickeys is the best. Still drink it to this day
In my younger days, when it came to 40’s, the only ones that mattered were 2/11 Steel Reserve and OE. 8.1 and 7.5 abv on each of those. Scrape together $2.50, then you could get drunk. I bet I’d get a fever and and headache halfway through those now if I tried to drink em
PSA to anyone wanting to try these. Dont drink the whole thing as you will have the worst hangover and the screaming shits the next day. You will have a great time drinking them 7/10 recommend.

I was polishing a 42 of steel reserve every day during the pandi for MONTHS. Crazy when it loses effect. I've drank 2 in a day before. After my tolerance went back to normal I couldn't finish 1.
That Colt 45 this right here is a 1990s classic I'm from Detroit Michigan and yes this right here this out of all of them I remember watching my uncle's drink these and giving me some sips good times back when America was really American. back on the US dollar was really a US dollar
Always good to see you Boss!
No Old English 800?? And I love me some Colt 45 and Schlitz Malt liquor.
Schlitz, Four-O, Country Club, Colt 45 double malt, St Ides, Lazer, Black Label 11-11, Crazy Horse, Pitbull. All incredible.

The little wide mouth "grenades" of Mickeys are easy found all over the south. Best of luck brother!
New to the channel, but seeing Mickeys and 211s brings back so much nostalgia and so happy to see them in top 2!!
Steel Reserve High Gravity is actually really crushable considering
In the mid 70's we had a bar with live bands and Fallstaff draft pitchers for only $1. Lot's of cheap good drinking nights that I can't remember!
Mickey's was a favorite here in Ohio when I was growing up 40+ years ago. Mickey's Malt Liquor gets you there quicker! The wide mouth 12 ounce bottles were great because if you HAD TO you could down one at a red light. If you had to, lol.
Mickey's man that stuff is awesome one of the first 12 packs I ever bought . Me and my mother of all people would love it.
Mickeys and St. Ides were my 40’s as a teen I’d buy in Detroit underage and bring back to suburbia. Crazy Horse was good too, but they stopped making it. Good times
As a Michigan asian, Mickey's and Steely's were college for me.
Those mickeys grenades are where it’s at. Nice review boss
Country Club was a classic! I'm pretty sure its a forgotten gem!
I'm a 45 year old white guy from the Texas Panhandle and when I drink beer it's only Mickey's. Hint.......try lemon or lime salt in it. Watch out for the foam!

Best way to drink Mickey’s is get Green Grenades. They are small Mickey’s and are shaped like kegs. They disappear so quick. 🤣👍😂
First time I drank and got drunk I woke up in the neighbors house on their living room couch waking up to a cop pulling on my shirt telling me to wake up 🙃 off Mickey’s
When my Dad and I were in the electrical business, many, many, many Bud Ice were consumed after a hot day of work. We wouldn't drink it any other time, but then.
From Dallas Texas grew up drinking Mickeys with the OGs💯🍻

Mickeys enthusiast here! From AZ. We would drink Mickeys while we ate long wongs hot wings and then finished everything off with a blunt of Reggie’s. We were teenagers and we had to pay day workers to buy them for us lol. One of the best times of my life.
I can get Mickey's in my little small Southwest Georgia town of Dawson ,GA. Always liked them.
Had no idea so many others love or loved Mickeys. I still drink it in 40z to this day.
Glad you liked the natty ice boss, very accurate description of where you drink it. Located up in iowa
House party’s and Mickeys 40s! 🥲
Ohh gawd, you're a beast sir!
Mickey's hands down the best.
We drank Mickey's all the time in high school in Chicago 😂
Mickey's grenades were the shit with the puzzles! Week nights in college would be a six of grenades and bag of pork rinds. But yeah you should try Schlitz (the blue bull) and Olde English, I haven't drank a 40 in years but Schlitz was my go to for awhile. Steel Reserve was for nights you wanted to forget, those get pretty rough by the end. I seem to remember them being a higher ABV in my state back in the day.
