Burger Beer

Burger's history started in Cincinnati when the Burger family established a malting business to supply fine malted barley to breweries throughout the Ohio Valley. After the repeal of Prohibition, the Burger family took those same fine ingredients to produce their own brand of high quality beers in 1934. A Cincinnati tradition was officially born in Burger Classic and Burger Light beers. Burger beers became legend as the beer of the Cincinnati Reds with famed Reds radio broadcaster Waite Hoyt appointing the storied Crosley Field sun deck as "Burgerville". Burger beer also became an American legend as one of only a few beers shipped in olive-drab cans to Army troops during World War II. Following a brief hiatus, Cincinnati's original Burger Beer is back! The crisp, clean, and refreshing beer you grew to love are now available in both six and twelve can packs. This is your grandfather's beer! And let's face it... your grandfather was cool.
