cheap beer!
say it ain't so:
(from salon.com's "the United States of cheap beer."
Brand: National Bohemian
AKA: Natty Boh
Hometown: Baltimore
Found in: Pennsylvania to Virginia
Distinguishing characteristics: Natty Boh's mascot, a cartooned gent with a bushy stache and one eye and a top hat, has become a civic icon in Baltimore. It's a matter of local pride to love the beer as much as the mascot, or try to, despite a taste as skanky as one of John Waters' early films.
Vital signs: National Bohemian hasn't been brewed in Baltimore in decades. Yet another Pabst brand.
granted, i find natty boh to be possibly the most disgusting beer i have ever attempted to drink (just being edged out by corona light and pittsburgh's similarly "no longer local" local beer Iron City, but this just seems really sad to me... call it my vestiges of baltimore pride or whatever... how can it no longer be brewed here? very sad...
granted, i'm a beer snob anyway, so i shouldn't begrudge people that like the boh
