Utica Club seems to be thriving


The real issue is...Iron City and Utica Club and Budweiser and such are all of the same basic type of beer.....fairly cheap for those who drink for 'effect', no particular distinctive flavor, and need to be pretty cold to be palatable- which makes them popular for BBQs and quenching thirst on a hot Summer day. Fine, if that's your goal.

Some prefer to explore classic beer & ale with widely different flavors & strengths. (yeah..like me) (and I don't LIKE beer which needs to be cold enough to numb the taste bud so you can stand to drink it.)
