Opening the hunting camp in the fall is a magical experience: the musty smell, the Hamm’s signs dusted with cobwebs, the brisk autumn air...The leaves crunch under my feet as my worries disappear in that Upper Michigan wilderness. An owl can be heard in the distance. Back at camp, the sauna and grill get lit, and a cooler of Hamm’s takes center stage. The sun goes down, and coyotes howl at the full moon. I climb into my down sleeping bag, gullet full of Hamm’s. I wake up and have Hamm’s and eggs for breakfast. The road hunt is on, with good cigars, hardroll sandwiches, Waylon Jennings on 8-track, and plenty of ice cold Hamm’s.

You should always keep some of this in stock for guests. That way you keep the BLatz Light for yourself. And if you run totally out of the Blight, this still will get your drunk on. And that’s a responsibility

This is a great beer to stand around and pour over a barbequed ham as it’s cooking. In a pail of ice, this beer is hands down better than all the macro light beers out there. I’ve shotgunned a lot of these in my day. My dad always buys it, and has an antique Hamm’s cooler to put it in. It brings back many fond memories.

Easy to drink. Full flavored and not watery like so many other light beers. A good alternative.

I rated this as if I liked light beer which I really don’t.They are usually just a sour effervesent watery beer with a bad aftertaste. I think this one is different.The mouthfeel is there but while not the sourness I find in most light beers.If I didn’t like beer but I wanted to drink beer this would be the one.Nothing repulsive.
