Days of the Beer, March 8

The beer for today is Steel Brewing Company Steel Reserve 211 (High Gravity).

On March 8, 1976, Hines E. Ward, Jr. was born. (What's with all the Steelers?) Hines Ward *drink* was drafted in the third round of the 1998 NFL Draft. Hines Ward *drink* is a four time Pro bowl selection. Hines Ward *drink* is a two time Super Bowl champion (XL, XLIII) and Hines Ward *drink* was MVP of Superbowl XL.

Hines Ward *drink* has Steelers records for receptions, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns.

If you ever watch a Steelers game, you can do what I do, and play the Hines Ward *drink* drinking game. Whenever the commentators say "Hines Ward" *drink* take a drink. Not if they say "Hines", not if they say "Ward", but only if they say "Hines Ward" *drink*.

As to the beer:

Steel Reserve is owned by Miller.

The Two Eleven mark, based on the medieval symbol for steel, appears only on Steel Reserve High Gravity Lager. We use nearly twice the ingredients of many normal lagers and brew for over twice as long as many quality beers.

The beer is a different ABV, based on regions of the country and their laws, it ranges from 6% up to 8.9%.

So, for Hines Ward *drink*, have a Steel Reserve 211.
