Tallcan TV Episode #5 211 Steel Reserve

October 20th, 2008

“It’s not delicious, but it’s got a lot of kick…”


In this episode of Tallcan TV we discuss the Malt Liquor, Steel Reserve, 211 and our SipSacs, provided for our enjoyment by our sponsor, BaronBob.com . Special guest this episode was MichelleReno, our friend and neighbor. Great to have you on the episode! Also we got another call in from Roscoe from Sparks, NV. Great to hear from you Roscoe. Roscoe shared an experience he had with Steel Reserve that left him a little overwhelmed. Those things happen. Lord knows how those Sparkies love their malt liquor.

Brand: 211 Steel Reserve
Brewed: Steel Brewing Co. Milwaukee, WI
Alcohol: 8.1%
Size: 24oz TallCan
Overall rating: 5
Flavor: 4
Drinkability: 6
Potential to get you sharpiedicked: 7.5

On the whole we didn’t like this Tallcan. From the tangy sweet before taste to the wonky not-right after taste and the hole it ate in my driveway when I poured a little out, I’s say I might not become a frequent 211 Steel Reserve customer. But you never know. It was pretty popular @ the Sparks Fourth of July party, and stranger things have grown on me. (most of the time a steroid creme or a topical antibiotic takes care of them…)

What are your thoughts on 211 Steel Reserve?

Tallcan.tv lands its first sponsor

October 1st, 2008



The SipSac is the first Tallcan.tv sponsor.

The SipSac is the first Tallcan.tv sponsor.

You may have noticed the graphic in the sidebar before now, but if not (and even if you have, I suppose) I’m here to explain it. See, the crew at Tallcan.tv is thinking about you. We ran into a situation during Episode 2 that we figured needed remedying. The problem: when you’re sitting around chatting over a tallcan, the beer gets warm. There’s just too much to drink that fast.

We know. You should be drinking faster, right? Well, the issue we have is that Tallcan.tv is also about the conversation had over tallcans–not just pounding beers. So we need something to keep them cold.

Lucky for us, an alert commenter over at mrjerz.org pointed out the SipSac. We looked at it, loved it, and decided it was a natural marriage. So we contacted the company, told them about Tallcan.tv, and almost immediately got a favorable response. The SipSac was going to be our sponsor.

Today, the five SipSacs arrived via a courier driving a brown truck. We’re official. So the next Tallcan.tv (Episode 5, in case you’re new here) will prominently feature the SipSac, the World’s Best Tallcan Coozy™.

Order yours yesterday!
