Description

There just can’t be too much of Olde English 800
It is the malt liquor that you should stock up on: Olde English 800. The US-American term malt liquor describes beer with a higher percentage of alcohol than you are probably used to. Those malt liquors are normally filled in iconic bottles containing 40oz. – the equivalent of a little over a litre -, giving them the nickname of “forty”. These bottles here come with amazing 42oz., which gives you a little more to joyously sip from! But that’s not all: above the label of the cult bottle a “cold when blue” cuff is attached, which turns blue when the malt liquor is ice cold.
Olde English 800 has been urban almost from the beginning
The brand Olde English was founded as early as in 1969 and then sold to the Pabst Brewing Company in 1979. The company immediately marketed the beer to “urban” audiences. This led to the malt liquor being relished predominantly – and literally by the litre – in cities such as New York City by young African-Americans and Latinos. This trend was not only specific to the west coast: soon, the west coast also discovered a strong appreciation for the fizzy strong beer. It was the legendary rap group N.W.A. in particular who loved Olde English 800 so much that they had their picture taken with several bottles as the cover for their album “The Posse”. And the hype was only getting started.
The beer is mentioned endless times in rap lyrics and can be discovered in several iconic films such as “Boyz N The Hood” or “Menace II Society”. Today, Olde English 800 is loved by the broad masses. You shouldn’t miss out on this lovely bottle, especially the 42oz., which will make your evening something to remember – or not!
