Yeah a good beer for sure for the price it's dirt cheap and very drinkable just because a beer is meant to be served ice cold doesn't make it a bad beer
Great review! Very refreshing beer at a good price, which is always a winner to me. Great bready aroma. And kosher certified and union made: What's not to love about this beer? The best beer reviews anywhere Ronald. Thanks. Laissez les bons temps rouler!
It's easy to find where I'm at I guess it just depends on the location but where I live all the convenience and grocery stores sell it and it's very cheap
Glad you revisited, Jay. I bought a 24 oz when picking up some med at Walgreens for a cold I can't quite kick and enjoying it tonight. Here in VA, for $1.99 that's a decent price (we don't have super cheap convenience store beers like they do in the Midwest or perhaps LA). Mine too says "ale", but I thought that was a silly Texas law or something that is required for beer above 5 percent. Mine has also got the kosher label but interestingly no union label, probably not a union brewery...ah I just looked at my label code says "10" which is Golden, so it's the old Coors brewery. Which is a bit of a hike from here considering there's a plant in Virginia. . Anyway, I agree it's one of the best beers for the category. I miss Red Dog from my youth, but this suffices since I haven't seen RD since the early 2000s. Cheers, Jay
Icehouse has become one of my favorite stand-by beers in the last 6 months or so. It's just a solid beer. Unfortunately, my local liquor store sells Icehouse only in 30-packs. Which would be fine except for the fact that all the 30-packs are dated March 2022. And even at 5.5% abv, I think 6 months out of date should minimally warrant a discounted price. Hopefully new inventory comes, soon.
It's one of my favorite "value-priced" beers, but in my area we only get tall cans and plastic 42 oz bottles. Do these sell well? I feel like I'm the only person buying Icehouse in my city.
Yeah, I have not seen a MHL 40 Oz bottle in a long long time. Plenty of 32 Oz cans and bottles though. I can't F with Icehouse. I don't F with ales. Your channel gave me the motivation to pause my beer consumption for awhile maybe completely. Time will tell. Good luck to you guys.
I might be a little foggy, but i think there was a rule in some places that a beer had to be called an "ale" if it was over a certain abv, even if it's technically a lager. The brilliant minds of government lol.
Good review !!! But I did notice something you said that they discontinued the icehouse edge but I believe they brought it back recently or not long ago cause I notice it coming back in stock at the liquor stores here in Maryland .
I like this beer I bought a 12 pack at food lion for around 12 bucks not bad its drinkable and like all beers of this class is best ice cold its definitely something i would pick sometimes if im in the mood for something with a slightly higher abv than the average american lager
Never see bottles here in Montana I remember there being 24 or 30 cases of icehouse too at one point here but never see those either. Just a 24 Oz can or a 4 pack of 16 oz cans.. Icehouse and Natural ice are the only ice beers I drink.. I use to like Bud Ice too it's been awhile
I got a good deal on a 12-pack bottles of this. I think I'm starting to prefer bottled over canned beer lol. To me it tastes like a regular ole beer. With a bit more body, flavor, and heft to it. No alcohol or ice beer funk with this one surprisingly. I'd give it a 91/100 A-. It was also the first beer I bought legally. Spent a dollar and change on a 24oz tallboy back in May of 2015. Cheers! Oh and since you mentioned the 6.9% version. I actually liked it. It had a nice, strong, bold, and balanced flavor. Didn't really taste the 6.9% with it. Same with the 6.9% Beast Ice for that matter as well.
Somehow I have never had this beer. Even in college days I cannot recall having an Icehouse. One day I will give it a try. I will say that mug of beer looked damn tasty.
great review I allways get this beer when I'm on a budget here in ohio we get the 24ounce cans for 99 cents well 1.06 after tax cant beat that price 2 beers for a dollar and 6 cents
@@ronaldtheriot switched over to some bale breaker IPA - local brew . 6.8% this should get the job done 😂🙌🏻🍻 cheers man hope to have a beer with ya one day
@@ronaldtheriot Publix is good it’s just expensive compared to a FoodLion . Big fresh seafood section and hot food amazing chicken wrap too . Y’all have Publix down there
Mr. Theriot. I have a very strange question for you. Did you ever serve in the military? Having watched many of your reviews, you always remove your cap before you drink. I was in the Angola / South Africa war in 1983 and 1984. As a soldier, we did not eat or drink with a beret or helmet on our heads. I cannot help but notice you do the same. P.S. I enjoy your reviews.
Thanks for watching, mervyn nel. I appreciate it! No, wasn't in the military. But, that's an interesting story, from you. I just remove the cap, so that my face is not in a shadow, the whole video.
@@ronaldtheriot Yeah I'd love to be able to buy a 12 pack in bottles, bready beers are my favorite. You're right if it says ale on the label I think it legally has to be an ale
@@ronaldtheriot Just an update here. I went out an bought an Icehouse 24 oz can and loved it like always. It does indeed say Ale on the can here too. That bready taste is very similar to Colt 45 and Natural Ice in my opinion. Would be interesting to see you do a comparison or taste test with your buddy on these sometime
As mentioned on a previous Icehouse review, when lived in Atlanta area (1st time, 2008-13) was/is a place near old place of residence & work that had it on tap : Miller's Ale House, Alpharetta GA. I frequented that place on a regular basis and Icehouse was in my rotation since they had it for cheap. They used to be approx 1/2 domestic + imported macro and 1/2 USA craft back then but now other than light beers to appease that crowd it's almost only serving craft beers on their 45 or so taps (so they don't carry this anymore). Anyway, liked it back then for after work beer and will have a time or 2 a year now when i run across it as a throwback. Otherwise you won't find me drinking any ice beers though.
I don't know what it is about Icehouse beer- I generally think Miller brews beer quite well and enjoy it's beers but Icehouse just misses. It's not unpleasant to me lie the banana sodas Bud Light and Coors Light it just seems unsatisfying. Cost about the same as Miller High Life which I like much better.
I’m not sure Schaefer could keep the same flavor profile & get to the same ABV% as this beverage but if it could I would take Schaefer/Schaefer Ice over this
Always enjoy ICEHOUSE. Despite what the naysayers say about this this is a really good beer at a really good value 💲💲👍🏾🍺. Good review Jay 😁😁
I agree, Jean, and thanks!
Sales speak the truth it’s good

NOW its 13.49 in orlando for 12, Youre the king of beer reviews

Cheers, back to you, Jeremy, and thanks for the good comments.
Wow. I totally forgot about red dog.
I see these at my local Discount Drug Mart for $1.49 for a 24 ounce can.....definitely need to try after watching your great review!
That's a great price! Enjoy!
Solid detailed reviews, and cool hats. Good job man.
Thanks so much. I appreciate you watching, Shane Cantrell!

Yeah, with beers, like Icehouse, you've got to drink 'em, fresh.
I don't see Ice House anymore here in South Jersey but plenty of high life 40s. good review Jay!
Sorry, Bart. And, thanks!
Thanks for sharing Jay! I need to pickup a tall boy can of Ice House.
You're welcome, Frank, and I just drank another bottle.
It's one of my favorite "value-priced" beers, but in my area we only get tall cans and plastic 42 oz bottles. Do these sell well? I feel like I'm the only person buying Icehouse in my city.
You just might be the only one.

Best wishes with that, equallywrong.
Maybe Icehouse Edge is back on the scene so a retraction video may be in order
IF that's true. Time will tell.
ohhhhhhhhh yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa - love me sum ICEHOUSE :-))) - great detailed review as always!!! :-))))
Thanks, so much!

I think that is the rule in Texas, but I am not sure if that applies to any other state.

Yes, I've heard lots of people saying that. Thanks for watching, Quiet Eagle. I appreciate it!
No problem I enjoy watching your reviews
Enjoying a nice cold Icehouse in a glass right now from a 24 ounce tall can. Definitely refreshing in my opinion.
I love it, too. Thanks for watching, Mayor Haggar. I appreciate it!
This isnt the Icehouse with the cabin on the label ? Same recipe?
It wasn't a cabin on the label, but a drawing of the old Plank Road Brewery. Yes, same recipe, essentially.
@@ronaldtheriot Ok i remember now. This or Olympia Ice was my go to ice beer in my twenties around 2000ish.
Hi Jay. I know Miller produces Ice House. Is it possible that Ice House is a condensed version of Miller Lite?
It's possible, Jeffrey, but I seriously doubt it.
I like this beer I bought a 12 pack at food lion for around 12 bucks not bad its drinkable and like all beers of this class is best ice cold its definitely something i would pick sometimes if im in the mood for something with a slightly higher abv than the average american lager
I enjoy it, and I agree. Thanks for watching, David Richards. I appreciate it!
they brought the icehouse edge back again just recently
I've heard that. Thanks for watching, Patrick Roland. I appreciate it!
I like a good Icehouse from time to time. I tend to love Natural ICE when it comes to ICE brews.
Same story, here.
Never see bottles here in Montana I remember there being 24 or 30 cases of icehouse too at one point here but never see those either. Just a 24 Oz can or a 4 pack of 16 oz cans.. Icehouse and Natural ice are the only ice beers I drink.. I use to like Bud Ice too it's been awhile
Yep, that's what I was drinking, yesterday- Natural Ice and Icehouse. Thanks for watching, Garry Brown. I appreciate it!
Just pick up a 24 pack of this for 13 bucks and the canned version says 192 calories I wonder if it's a typo
It must be a mistake.
I think this might be my favorite ice beer. Don’t buy ice beers often but this one is real nice
It sure is real nice, and I just finished one.
I cheaked total wine for 12oz 12pack bottles and it only came up in total wine in reno navada
I believe that.
Been a while since I've seen or had one of these. It always seemed okay.
It's even better than okay!

I know that some people liked the 6.9% version, but it was a flop, overall. I don't see why they couldn't have just kept both variants.
Somehow I have never had this beer. Even in college days I cannot recall having an Icehouse. One day I will give it a try. I will say that mug of beer looked damn tasty.
You should try it, because it WAS tasty!

This ain’t dog water this is that DAWG water
Right- DAWG water.
Seeing these in 12 oz bottles is certainly a rare sight
I didn't realized how rare these bottles were.
We drank that bigtime as kids because it was cheap and strong. we used to call it ice cribs.
Ice Cribs. Ha-ha.
I really like Icehouse, in AZ can only find it in the tall boy cans. I'm 95% sure it's a lager not an ale
I wish y'all got the bottles. Why is the label showing ale, though?

19 bucks for 30. 👍
I never see Icehouse 30 packs.
