cowdery Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Champale was a malt beverage (i.e., beer) meant to taste like champagne, with only partial success if I remember correctly. It was a very successful product for a while. The canned champagne the 80 Strong guy put out was actual sparkling wine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowdery Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 I happened across this review of 80 Strong on the Playboy web site. I'd say it's right on target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggilbertva Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 In relation to Mike Veach's book project, I made a comment in the History forum about 80Strong and their use of myspace as their marketing vehicle. As I stated in my comments, they presents a very "edgy" image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILLfarmboy Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Since 80 proof is the legal minimum for it to be labeled bourbon without the "diluted" qualifier it seems odd to name it 80 strong. I guess nowadays anything not diluted is considered strong!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob O. Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 I guess it's safe to assume this won't be the 5/07 BOTM... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewBob Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I heard that Kentucky Proof was 90, so my 'regulars' stay that way (Bulleit and 1792).OK, sometimes a little higher.Someone's bottling some 2 year old stuff called Colorado Whiskey. I noticed it at Brendan's Pub in St.Matthews(Louisville). Someone's charging way too much money for this tar remover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
