After some 35 years of absence, SABMiller re-released the historical Gettelman $1000 beer at the Miller Inn on September 6, 2007. Brewed from a recipe in the A Gettelman Brewing Co. archives dating from 1891 to 1961 and by Miller’s archives from 1961 to 1971, this 100% all malt premium beer carried a challenge to anyone who could prove that anything besides malt, water yeast and hops was used would receive $1000 award.

Shared by Skyview, who somehow convinced Miller to fill a growler of this. Thanks Bob. This is really good for the kind of beer this is. Very grainy, some corn and lots of barley (even though there is no corn in it). Interesting color, sort of a medium gold and a substantial white head. Well carbonated. The aroma and flavor also have considerable malt and hops. Salty. Full palate. A pale lager can’t get much better without turning in to a pilsner.
