The American Specialty and Craft Beer Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Miller that owns pieces of these breweries:

• Jacob Leinenkugel Brewing, Chippewa Falls WI
• Celis Brewery, Austin TX
• Shipyard Brewery, Portland ME

My Opinion Of The Beers That I've Tried:
13.0 points overall

• Genuine Draft
  Style 16 - American Lager
  • 12 points - Beer #33-2743, Siebel Institute, Chicago IL, April 22, 1998
    Pale yellow, moderate carbonation, thick head. Smells sweet and sulfury. Light, sweet, almost sticky.

• Lite (bottled)
  Style 16 - American Lager
  • 12.5 points - Beer #33-2737, Siebel Institute, Chicago IL, April 17, 1998
    Yellow, fizzy, good head. Smells sweet. Extremely light body, high carbonation, virtually no flavor whatsoever. A little oxidation late.

• Reserve Amber Ale (bottled)
  Style 4 - Mild / Brown Ale
  • 11 points - Beer #7-416, HopFest '94, Pleasanton CA, August 13, 1994
    Nice color, head, carbonation. Don't smell much at all. Maybe thin, definitely fizzy. Not very bitter. Better than Anheuser-Busch Elk Mountain, anyway...

• Reserve Velvet Stout (bottled)
  Style 11 - Stout
  • 17 points - Beer #7-417, HopFest '94, Pleasanton CA, August 13, 1994
    Black. Good brown head. Very nice coffee nose. Thin for a stout. Good coffee flavor with some chocolate. This could pass for a very nice Porter. Who'd-a-thought?!?
