I've heard some great excuses for drinking beer but this advertising claim is amazing. Perhaps because there's more malt in the beer and it is sweeter and stronger alcohol-wise, maybe the diet claims come into play because you might not imbibe as many? Or am I stretching the truth here, too? Whatever the facts about it, I'm convinced it was a hit regardless, especially at the "first class" taverns. Lord help you if you asked for it in some second class dive.
The "reproduction" Gold Label produced a couple weeks ago by Bare Bones Brewery in honor of Menasha's 150th anniversary was very tasty.
