7-11 gets own beer label-Game Day Beer  (United States)

Quick, what's the third-largest beer retailer in the U.S.? Chances are you didn't know it's 7-Eleven. Now, the convenience chain is getting a step closer to the suds it sells, rolling out a store-brand beer billed as a premium brew at a budget price.  Game Day beer follows the introduction of the Yosemite Road private-label wines in 7-Elevens last year.

The beer is being made by the 150-year-old City Brewery in La Crosse, Wis., one of the country's largest contract brewers.

Re: 7-11 gets own beer label-Game Day Beer  (United States)

7-Eleven had its own private-label beer in the 1960's and 1970's.  It was marketed under the 7-Eleven name and was brewed by Garden State Brewing Company of Hammondton, NJ.  I have a can in my collection.  It is an all-steel can (before the days of aluminum cans), and is one of my rarest cans.  I was too young to drink when I acquired the can and have no idea what it tasted like, but it was an American style golden lager.
