American Bias

We here in Canada have Old Mill too - It's presumably owned by the same American company, but according to the cans scattered around my apartment, ours is brewed up here. Ours is also 5% alcohol by whatever method of alcohol content measurement we use here. KxWaal 19:00, 01 Aug 2008 (UTC)

Canadian Old Milwaukee is brewed under license by Sleeman. 209.196.230.72 (talk) 20:09, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

Where is Old Milwaukee currently brewed?

The article is unclear as to whether major industrial breweries are still active in Milwaukee, and whether Old Milwaukee is brewed there. Robert K S (talk) 19:00, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

Citation?

Can we find a citation for the claim that Old Milwaukee Light has received more awards than any other American light beer in the past 10 years? Kansan (talk) 01:19, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

Since 1849?

I find the claim of Old Milwaukee beer "Introduced 1849" as highly doubtful, even though it is stated as such in the article and on the can. The Canadian packaging indicates "Since 1934". I believe this would be more accurate. 1849 is the founding date of the Jos. Schlitz Brewing Co. itself. The earliest date I can find anywhere mentioning Old Milwaukee is the 1934 copyright date on paper labels. I don't know how Pabst Brewing, the current owner of the brand, figures 1849. Any thoughts or insight? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Plumbarbacy (talk • contribs) 22:57, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

Found a source indicating the brand was introduced post-Prohibition: here. Changed article to reflect. Stylteralmaldo (talk) 18:50, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
