Nothing new. The had 7-11 beer out in the late '60's. Premium beer at popular price they said. Tasted like bat urine.

I remember when I lived in St. Louis that a local chain of liquor stores sold its own brand of beer (905 Beer), which was made by Pittsburgh Brewing Co., makers of Iron City Beer (aka lighter fluid). Yuck.

"Yo! Didya hear that 7-11 is comin' out with their own beer? Along with dat cheap-ass Wal-Mart wine, we sure is livin' large these days!"

I just saw the new Safeway Beer. Eww Ick.......

[SamAdams76]

Can anything compete with Krispy Kreme?

Tasted like bat urine

And you know that because?????

Santiago will be right next to Code Red.

Considering the people who operate so many of the 7-11 stores, I thought it would be something decidly middle eastern. Although I know Muslims don't (or are not supposed to) drink alcohol.

Come to think of it - Muslims don't drink alcohol - but they can sell it - to the infidels, I suppose.

Santiago, which will begin to appear in 7-Eleven cold vaults in June, will be sold for $5.99 a six-pack.

Does that include a free money order to send cash home to Mexico ?

7-11 rocks, although QuickTrip is giving them a good run for their $.

Muslim beer? No thanks!

[MadIvan]

We have a couple of 7-11s here in London. Based on that, I dare say this is not a good idea.

Sadly, here in Colorado where liquor stores can sell full strength beer (but not on Sundays), supermarkets (which 7-11 is considered) may only sell 3.2% beer.

In the land of Adolph Coors??

Every where you, there always a smart a$$.

I was in PA back in the '70's I stopped at a store for some odds and ends. I asked the clerk if the had beer and he refered me to a bar.

There nothing worse - except an old SA

[AmishDude]

He probably looked at you funny, too, like you came from Mars where beer grows on trees (or at least is the sap).

In Louisiana they sell liquor in 7-11's, Winn-Dixie, Wal-Mart, Rite-Aid or just about anyplace else. I don't even think liquor stores even exist down there.
