Silver Stallion Ice = Game Day Ice?
I noticed a recent review by sloshed of SSI which is made by City Brewing. It sounded a lot like my review of GDI and I bet it might be the same beer, or at least similar in horrid taste.

Hmm. That's interesting.. I was at 7-11 the other day and they had never heard of their own beer and don't sell it...

I just discovered a leftover Silver Stallion Ice in my cooler (a friend gave them to me camping). I'll hang onto it and see if I can track the Game Day down and do a side by side comparison..

You're asking for a bad taste comparing those two J... Be sure to have plenty of good beer to wash them down.. Beer

I would guess that these two beers made by the same brewer are in fact the same beer in different packaging. How could anyone brew something so horrible twice? I honestly cannot think of another beer as bad as Game Day Ice. 7-11 should definitely not want to be associated with any City Brewery product. I would recommend buying a can to hold onto as a collectible. Beer this bad only comes around once in awhile and does not stick around for long.

Its all part of the beerhunting hobby - although I do tend to focus on finding good beer. But when something completely shitty comes along, my curiosity will always get the better of me. Toilet Flush

Believe me it is much, much worse than Corona or Bud Ice. If you want to taste what is possibly the world's worst beer, try it.

Well, I finally came across some Game Day Light and Ice at a grocery outlet in Eugene, Or. Beerlover is right. That is some seriously disgusting shit...
