As college students, we run the gamut from cheap beer to really cheap beer. Some of us have stuck on one beer for some reason – we grew up with it, it’s the cheapest, it doesn’t taste like Bud Light, etc. Keystone Light, while not my favorite, is one of those beers that I grew up with. It’s the beer I drank in high school and the one beverage I had every weekend during my freshman year. I express loyalty to the Keystone family.
behold!
In Los Angeles, I was overjoyed when, at a barbecue, Fed Jimenez graced me with this: A Keystone. Not Keystone Light. Not Keystone Ice. But this was in L.A. Hollywood, LaLaLand. Of course you can find rare things there. In L.A. Not in Ithaca.
Turn the page to this past weekend. Circles Party. BYOB – and Curt didn’t. So he takes a walk up to Big Al’s to pick something up. What do I see when he comes back from the store? You guessed it.
bam!
A 12 of red stoners. They do exist. Stock up, though. Keystone Regular may quickly become the reason people go to Big Al’s and not Rogans.
Now we know where to get all three varieties of Keystone.
But did you know that there is a fourth variety? In my research of the Keystone family, I have learned that there is Keystone Premium, which comes in a maroon can. Weighing in at 4.40%abv, this beer is highly discussed on beeradvocate.com. One review claims it has a “STRONG smell of day-old pee and wet leaves.”
According to molsoncoors.com, “Keystone Premium is available nationally and is packaged in cans, bottles and kegs. Keystone Premium is 4.4 percent alcohol by volume and has 108 calories per 12-ounce serving.”
I’m off to find myself some Premium. Who’s with me?
