Default Walgreens Beer

OK, who is going to be the first to try it and report back?

Walgreen Co. has quietly rolled out a private label brew. The product, Big Flats 1901, will carry a suggested retail price of $2.99 for a six-pack of cans and $11.49 for a 24-pack, the company said...

I'm always game for something new and different. One day after many hours of yardwork and severe workstress I'll crack one of these open and probably proclaim it to be the nectar of the gods...maybe

Not a beer snob, but Wag's brew just doesn't sound appealing.

$2.99 for a six pack. It will do well with the college crowd. Does anyone know who makes it for Wall-greens?

I had a few at a friends house around X-mas time. I remember it not tasting too bad, but don't remember enough to compare it to another beer.

Hell...it's $3/6pk...who care's what it tastes like!

It would definitely be a conversation starter at parties. How funny. I love beer - I would try it. Too bad we don't have a Walgreens here.
