Why
partner with the Breast Cancer
Research Foundation?
At Mike’s,
we’ve got a reputation for
being hard. But that doesn't’t mean
that we don’t have a soft side, too.
To help mark our 10th anniversary and
in memory of Jacqueline S., a part of the
Mike’s family since we were founded, and a
really great woman who left us way too soon,
we will be making a contribution to the
Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
Our donation will fund
research aimed at
preventing and curing breast cancer, and is our way of helping fight a fight
that’s very personal to us here at Mike’s.

What
is Kraeusening?
AUTHENTICALLY
KRAEUSENED
OLD STYLE -
Traditional
Lager -Old Style has revived the centuries- old German brewing
tradition of double fermentation called “kraeusening” (kroi-zen-ing).
Kraeusening is an additional step we take in the brewing process
that brings extra carbonation and a complex richness to this
premium beer. Doubly aromatic and singularly intricate in taste,
Old Style now has more body and more flavor with a cleaner finish.
But what Kraeusening really means is that Old Style is a local
favorite with an”Improved taste.” Enjoy the wonders
of kraeuseing. Enjoy Kraeusened Old Style. Bob Newman, Brewmaster

Old
Style Lager
Old Style beer employs the traditional brewing skills of the German craftsman.
Krausened and well carbonated, Old Style is a beer that revives the crisp rich
freshness of a classic Pilsner: light in color and body, medium in aroma and
bitterness, full flavored with a delicate aftertaste. Old Style is finished
at 134 calories and 11.5 grams of carbohydrates, 3.6% alcohol by weight.
Old
Style Light
Old Style Light provides the light
beer drinker with a refreshing full
lager flavor, a calorie count of 110
calories and 8.3 grams of carbohydrates per 12 oz. serving. Balanced with a
light load of alcohol at 3.8% by volume, 3.0% by weight, Old Style Light enhances
its flavor with a blend of natural hop varieties and specialized hop extract
over its base ingredients of malted barley and corn. Fermented fully like a
lager but finished carefully to a slim version of its parent, Old Style Light
presents maximum flavor
at minimum impact.
Local History
Wisconsin
became a state in 1848, and just four years later, young Gottlieb
Heileman arrived in America from Germany.
He
eventually settled in the town of La Crosse in western Wisconsin.
Here, the Mississippi River cut an awesome swath, creating towering
bluffs and scenery so spectacular, it's often referred to as "God's
Country." Gottlieb began as a partner in a small La Crosse
brewery and then became the owner in 1872 of the G. Heileman Brewing
Company. His commitment to brewing a quality beer using only the
finest ingredients paid off handsomely. By 1902, he was brewing
160,000 barrels annually. Originally called Golden Leaf Lager in
the 1890’s, Old Style first appeared in local stores in 1902
with very few changes.
This
became the Old Style we know and love today. "Pure brewed
in God's Country" has faded as an advertising slogan but
it's hard to drive very far in any part of Wisconsin without
seeing an Old Style sign hanging on the side of a barn or in
the window of a roadside tavern. After prohibition, G. Heileman’s
brewmaster was asked by the workforce to brew an especially “strong” beer
for a company picnic. They loved it so much, management decided
to sell it to the public, and Heileman’s Old Style Lager
Special Export was launched in 1934. Taking advantage of a
nationwide bottlers strike and subsequent product rationing
by a competitor, Old Style came across the state line into
Illinois. It wasn't long before Old Style became Chicago's
beer - served from the north side to the south side and everywhere
in between. Being accepted as a true local, Old Style began
sponsoring the Chicago Cubs in 1950.

An
American Dream Budweiser
American Ale
Anheuser-
Busch is
one of the best
known names in brewing with massive operations in the United States
and a large presence in several foreign markets.
Like any business, Anheuser- Busch
realizes the importance of new product development.
Recently Anheuser- Busch beer
caught the market attention that led to
high anticipation its release.
The
product is
Budweiser American Ale,
a new product and the first ale to adorn the Budweiser name.
Beer
of the Month:
Budweiser American Ale
Commentary: Writer
for the Tribune
Well,
I'm caught between a rock and hard place.
Let me explain: Anheuser-Busch,
the jolly-about-to-be-Belgian-owned giant,
has a new beer:
Budweiser
American Ale.
A Great Tasting Ale.
This is the first ale to ever carry the
Budweiser name.
Until now, Budweiser has been a light
lager, made in an ersatz German
style with lots of rice added to the
barley mash.
Over
the years I’ve met a number of
people who work for A-B, and I’ve gotten
to know a number of Budweiser distributors.
They’re nearly all great folks.
The Anheuser-Busch brewers I know
really like beer and tend to be very sharp.
While Bud and friends rumbled along, churning out their beer - millions
and millions of barrels sold - the craft beer revolution has been
changing American beer-drinking tastes big time.
Craft beer and import beer sales keep growing in double digits.
Of course, the market share’s still small.
But craft beer and fine imports are where the action is. The keen
minds at A-B see that.
Their answer is Budweiser American Ale,
Eric Beck, the brew master in charge of making the beers, says it’s
an amber ale, 5.2 percent alcohol by volume, with 25 to 28 International
Bitterness Units.
It’s made with two-row pale barley and caramel malt. Bittering
hops are Palisade, .0aroma hops, spicy Saaz and Willamettes and piney,
citrusy Cascades. It’s also dry-hopped with Cascades - fresh
hops are
placed in the fermenter with the beer.
Every
ingredient is American.
It’s a beautiful medium copper color
with a big,
rocky head of tan foam and a nose of malt and
spice from the hops. The taste is mouth-filling, with notes of caramel
and ripe fruit. It has a mildly spicy hop finish.
In a word, a very good beer in almost
anybody’s book. Paired against the
signature American craft beer,
Sierra Nevada Pale Ale,
it’s not nearly as hoppy and the malt
taste is simpler and silky. It’s an excellent beer.
I’ll drink it again and again.
Pours a crystal clear deep copper-amber color.
Impressive!
A very foamy, off white head perched on
top and easily stands two and a half fingers tall. Holds
together very well and dissipated slowly, thick sticky strands of
lace line the glass.
THIS IS AN IMPRESSIVE, NICE LOOKING BEER, Like the American Eagle
on the bottle.
