WHY WE WANTED TO LIKE IT: For 105 years, locals and tourists flocked to Chicago's Berghoff for inexpensive but scrumptious wiener schnitzel, efficient but snooty waiters and fresh beer. The place closed in 2005, and it is sorely missed.
WHAT WE RELUCTANTLY CONCLUDED: Nostalgia – in this case, anyway – blows. Wisconsin's Joseph Huber Co. now produces a whole family of Berghoff beers, so I'm hoping that the lager is the unloved and ignored stepchild. A bland and by-the-numbers effort, it's the brewing equivalent of a test pattern.
WHERE WE BOUGHT IT: Beverages & More!, as if that matters. You can buy better beer almost anywhere.
RATING: 1 bottle
Note: Beers are rated from 0 to 5 bottles, with 5 being best, 0 being urine.
