the best beer with your burger is BURGER BEER

If there was ever a time to bring back a budget beer, it's right now. And fans of the Cincinnati Reds will be sure to appreciate the return of Burger Classic beer. The hoppy helper not only supported the local Reds back in the day -- gaining a following that would be difficult for most small companies to match in today's marketing-choked culture -- but it was also one of the few beers the U.S. shipped to overseas troops during World War II. After many years in retirement, Cincinnati-based Christian Moerlein Brewing is reviving the once-famous Burger -- launching it, The Cincinnati Enquirer reports, at the Reds' Hall of Fame on May 29.

While the beer won't be brewed in Cinci -- it's actually made in western Wisconsin -- it will be available in Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky soon, with a 12-pack costing just $5.99. Beer snobs may turn their noses up, but the price gives Miller High Life a run for its money, and Moerlein clearly hopes nostalgic locals will return to the Reds' house brand -- and bring younger drinkers with them. (Although not too young, of course.)

lol @ 'sparkle brewed'

I was hoping that this was going to be beer that tasted of burgers - served in a glass with a burger patty on the rim instead of a slice of lemon.
