Since 2001, contract-brewed for Pabst Brewing (San Antonio), as Pabst no longer owns a brewery of its own.

"I think (and I'm not alone here) that St. Ides is the best malt liqour there is. It's good and it gets you messed up fast. Granted there are a few times when you get a "Bad" one and then I dont want anything to do with it but for the most part I think St. Ides is simply the best."

"Ok, let's not pretend that this is a fine beer and this is going to be a snobby high class review on its characteristics. It is a cheap, 8.2% malt liquor. And as far as cheap malt liquors go, this should be your first choice if you don't think you can get a malt liquor down. It is 8.2%, yet there is virtually NO alcohol taste to it. Seriously. It tastes bad, but I've had much worse. Think sweet.
My only problem is that for 8.2% it really doesn't kick my butt. I get only a small buzz from it.
My recommendation: If you wanna get f'd up, get a Hurricane High Gravity.
If you wanna be able to finish a high gravity malt liquor and brag to your friends what a gangsta you are, buy this. Hell, it has a Rottweiler on the can, EATING another can of St. Ides. Wow!"

"This is a malt "licker". It is an ass whuppin high alc. monster with but one purpose in life. It performs that purpose without fail. It makes no claims to be "Fine" or "Wonderous" or "Delightfull". It wants you to fall down and laugh at how ridiculously inebriated you are after 2 of these unholy beasts. If you openned this bottle looking for after tastes and mouth feel or hints of anything but armageddon; you're in the wrong place jack! Now pass me those salt and vinegar chips......"

"No disrespect to previous reviewers, but you have to remember what you are drinking here.
This is a widely available HG Malt. It is not the liquid death some would have you believe. I have served this in chilled glasses and fooled many a beer snob. Certainly no better than average, but for an 8.2% ABV Malt, this is a decent enough brew. Sure, you can sense the adjuncts, but so what? Decent enough head (if poured..and yes, it actually laces a bit..if not, try cleaning your glasses properly) and mouth feel. Don't get me wrong...this is no classic, but possibly the best of the worst. Open up your mind and give it a try. The 22 ounce bottle is your best bet."

[5] Review by drewseslu from Saint Louis, MO, USA who has tried this beer once. (10/9/2005 3:26:41 AM)
"This ML was not offensive, a MAJOR accomplishment. This was a was a bittersweet victory drink from a few hours of pickup football. A Liberty Ale at halftime and a St. Ides to celebrate victory. I mean it its a terrible beer, but its my 400th review and it ain't the worst ML out there, y'all."
