    I 'aven't.

    Anyone? Just curious. I think if I saw it on tap, I'd 'ave to give it a try simply because of the rarity/novelty.

    Nope but I've seen Olde English 800 tap handles for sale that appeared to be from the 80's.

    We're making progress.

    I've heard that AML was served at bars back in 60s and 70s. We might have to talk to some of the "old school" BAs.

    It was a special occasion but Odell randomly brewed a malt liquor and a local bar/restaurant tapped a keg of it. I never tried it.

    I wonder what the difference in taste would be, seeing as most malt liquor is sold in clear bottles.

    Ten years ago I truly enjoyed some original Colt 45 on tap. C45 is not a big beer by any stretch (and neither is Mickey's), and there are and were some stronger beers from the big, non-Craft breweries packaged for draft back then. And isn't Icehouse still available on tap? It always made me wonder where all the Malt Liquors kegs went...

    All this talk about malt liquor made me crack open an oil can of Molson XXX. I don't care what anyone says, Molson XXX is totally decent. And I'm not just saying this because I'm heavily buzzed.

    I've never seen it, but it'd be cool.

    The Triple Rock would serve that. Badass. Great topic, never thought of malt liquor on tap before. On the flip side, why no craft beer in 40s??

    DFH Liquor De Malt, The People's Pint Tap n Die Malt Liquor are in 40s. DFH no longer brews theirs though. Personally I wouldn't mind seeing some sessionable craft lagers and ales in 40s.
