Steel Reserve is a high-gravity, low-expense alcoholic lager beverage which comes in three forms: the 6-pack of 12 oz. cans, the 24 oz. can and the black label 24 oz. can, which packs a whalloping 8.1% alc/vol. It is also referred to by nominal social circles in the southeast as a Stiff Henry, for reasons unknown. Steel Reserve is a homely brew with a refreshing taste and high chugability factor. It also tastes splendid in combination with a cigarette. One can only speculate that it is costing the industry millions of dollars in deficit to market a 24 oz. can for a measly 99 cents. Theoretically, a homeless derelict of legal age can scrounge up enough money to purchase a can of Steel Reserve and get stinking drunk, presuming he did not first surrender his funds to a fast-food restaurant dollar menu. Additionally, Steel Reserve is probably the only drink which promotes Viking mythology.

Bum: "You're kidding me. I get all of that for a buck?"
Sales Clerk: "It's no joke, sir."
Bum: "So lemme get this right - I get a great taste AND a low price?"
Sales Clerk: "You can't drink that in the store, sir."
Bum: "My, my... you don't see THESE in the dumpster everyday."
Sales Clerk: "I'm going to have to call security."

Also known as headache juice. Steel Reserve is a high gravity high alcohol content and cheaply made lager. Steel Reserve along with other malt liquors are the cheapest and easiest way to get drunk. The 211 has a horrible taste going down, and as most people who drink it will find, a horrible taste coming back up. However this taste does do an effective job of covering the alcohol. That together with its low carbonation allows for easy chugging. Steel Reserve is made and purchased for one thing and one thing only and thats to get drunk. One 24oz can will get you buzzed, two will get you drunk, and after three your in the bathroom hugging your new best friend, the toilet. If you drink it out of the glass don't expect to find a thick dark color like you would expect from a lager made with twice the ingredients of regular beer, instead you will find it has the distinct color and smell of pee.
However for someone on a budget looking to get drunk Steel Reserve is by far the best bang for the buck, just pray you don't have to go into work in the morning.
