But wait -- they're not taking the beer snob for granted. The can (I'm holding an empty 24-ounce size) also says "EXTRA MALTED BARLEY & SELECT HOPS FOR EXTRA GRAVITY" and "SLOW BREWED...." What's more, the parent company, Miller Brewing, appears nowhere on the can, as if the marketing and packaging geniuses wanted to leave room for me to believe that it might just be brewed by a ballsy microbrewery or an gutsy small company. Well, it worked. I had hoped.
And now, the meaning of the 211. It's the medieval symbol for steel.
How elemental.
The taste of this beer is well-balanced and targeted at mainstream drinkers, the kinds of folks who like Bud and Coors and MGD but might be persuaded by the 6-percent rating to try something stronger than normal. (I didn't know we called anything above 5 percent "high-gravity;" I mean, with most high-gravity beers in the 7-10 percent range, Steel Reserve 211 only counts as a high-gravity beer in the very technical sense of the definition.) The marketing and packaging folks are eager to boast about the beer with all the strong, manly writing all over the can, but the taste is determined not to offend. Ergo, it is a bit bland, if well-balanced and accessible.
That being said, members of BeerAdvocate.com gave it low scores.
I think it's a cool thing, however, to see a high-gravity beer in cans. I drank a 24-ouncer ($1.33), and I've also seen 12-packs ($7.20). Maybe Steel Reserve 211, backed by Miller Brewing Co., will start a new trend of high-gravity canned brews.
cheers,

I think this beer should be taken off the market & outlawed for sale. My husband can drink any other brand of beer without any issues or concerns. However after drink just one of this " CHeap Steel Shit", he becomes alcohol induced phychic to the point that he is mental unstable. I experience fear & uncertains for him when he drinks this "Shit". I think this cheap shit was designed as another means of keeping a poor man down. Fair warning to those who even think about drink this stuff it cause sever distortion & hallucinations. I just hope nothing bad happen to my husband under the influence of this bad product.
211 is also the penal law code for armed robbery haha. just a fun fact. im a fan of steel reserve growing up a cheap, broke, punk kid. i have the 211 tattooed on my arm, as does a friend. bad idea, in retrospect. 1 will get you buzzed, two will get you drunk, and 3 will have you reinventing the term drunk dialing. the 211 should be replaced with 911.
I drink 2 211's daily(40's) and I have never experienced any type of hallucinations.Your comment is retarded at best there is nothing in 211 or any beer for that matter that would cause any real Hallucination!Judging by your spelling maybee he's not the only one hitten the old steel reserve.
