7-11, the largest convenience store chain in the U.S. with over 6,000 stores, sells a lot of beer, most of it from the big beer companies. In fact, they’re the third-largest beer retailer in the country. With more limited shelf space, C-Stores tend to focus on fast-moving brands and usually carry very few local or craft beer brands. So those stores have been one of the few outlets where space has not be eroding due to craft beer’s growing popularity. But, according to an announcement in Fortune magazine, that’s about to change, though not toward more craft beer. 7-11 has announced the release of their own private label beer, called Game Day. Apparently it’s a “premium beer selling at a budget price,” though further details were not forthcoming. While not yet confirmed by 7-11, it’s being reported that there will be two varieties of Game Day, Game Day Light and Game Day Ice and each will likely be sold in two package sizes, 12-pack cans and 24-oz. singles. Prices are expected to be between $6.99-$8.99 for 12-packs and between $1.49-$1.89 for singles, depending upon distribution and state specific costs, like taxes. The contract brewing is being done by City Brewing in La Crosse, Wisconsin.
And a few years back they were the sole distributor for this beer brewed in el salvador; but haven’t seen it recently:
SANTIAGO CERVEZA DE ORO
I still have an old flat top can of 7/11 beer which i found on the side of the road back in the early 80’s. next to a can of hop n gator, of all things
This is going to be great. I will have to stop by 7-11 more often for my brew ha-ha’s
tastes like coors, has about as much alcohol as an O’douls, Why hell, the only thing this beer is good for is as a substitute for toast in the morning or stockpiling a bomb shelter.
So, JJJJ, it’s Coors Cutter?
