Rheingold is a classic American brew from here in Brooklyn. Not much can be said about it as far as taste and shit are concerned. It pours piss-gold and smells and tastes like a macro. It's watery and doesn't have a skunky taste to it. It's decent and classic and I hold in in the same light I hold PBR and Iron City.
Some interesting facts about Rheingold:
It held 35% of NY state's beer market from 1950 to 1960. That's pretty fuckin impressive. Not only was everybody in Brooklyn drinking the shit,but so was the whole city.
The company shut down it 1976,unable to compete with the larger asshole corporations(Amheiser-Busch) who were respobsible for the decimation of a great deal of regional breweries during the 70's. Thankfully it was revived in 1999, and has since went through 3 owners. It is still brewed here in Brooklyn, but in Greenpoint instead of Bushwick.
It's classicmthat's all that matters....
