Beer of the Week Blast from the Past: Big Bear Lager

Beer score: 3.4

This is another beer which no longer exists, though I found part of an old review I did of the beer from a decade or so back. This beer was made for a chain of grocery stores in the Midwest in which the stores were called "Big Bear." This beer was brewed by The Hoster Brewing Co. of Columbus, Ohio, for the grocery chain before Hoster went out of business, and then Big Bear went out of business, too. I've had worse lagers, but there isn't much special here. It's got a good color and is stronger than I expected. At least it's not a Bud wannabe.
