Walgreens Sells Own Line of Beer
Posted by Tammy Tuck on Jan. 28, 2011 at 10:49 am
Illinois-based drugstore chain Walgreens has rolled out its own line of beer called Big Flats 1901 Premium Lager. The 4.5 percent alcohol-by-volume canned American light lager, which has been compared to PBR, is produced by California-based Winery Exchange, a company that creates private-label beer, wine and spirits for corporations like 7-Eleven and CostCo.
The name Big Flats is a tribute to the 19th-century flat boats that traveled through upstate New York, where the beer is contract brewed. Rochester-based North American Breweries, owners of Magic Hat, Pyramid, and LaBatt, produces Big Flats at their Genesee Brewing Company facility.
At a suggested retail of $2.99 for a six-pack and $11.49 for a 24-pack, that's just under fifty cents per can.

That has to get the award for the worst name for a beer. 2nd place has to be Pigs Eye beer.
