I find a "several billion" figure fairly unbelievable; I changed it to million. - Hephaestos 05:18, 22 Dec 2003 (UTC)

It was mentioned that it was on an episode of Auction Kings. I remember it from an old episode of the Simpsons. Homer put on a jacket that he hadn't worn in a long time and found a can of Billy Beer in the inside pocket. I don't remember when that episode aired, but that's where I first learned of Billy Beer. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.18.101.193 (talk) 23:53, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

taste
does anyone know what it tastes like? did it fail because it tasted bad or because of the advertising?

Probably tasted like any other macro lager. Bland and tasteless.

Answer: I had an unopened case of Billy Beer and last year (April 2011) while camping with friends and family we all drank a can of 30+ year old beer on a group dare. We all agreed that it tasted almost identical to Newcastle Brown Ale. It had the same color, carbonization, texture, smell, and to our amazement even tasted like it (even ended up doing a blind taste test between the two). However none of us that tried it, ever had a Billy Beer when it first came out because we are all in our mid-30’s, but for the cans that are still around these days it does taste like a Newcastle Brown Ale. None of us (11 males in total) got sick in anyway from drinking the 30+ year old beer. J. Pearson — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.4.186.80 (talk) 09:15, 14 May 2012 (UTC)


 * each brewery supposedly used a different formular. I tried Falls City Beer at about the same time they made Billy.  The Falls City wasn't very good, kind of cheap, and I think the Billy was probbaly the same. --Hanover81 01:12, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

This beer is so common !
Can somebody explain the meaning of the last sentence in the first paragraph? Or maybe rewrite it to make it clearer.

All of the cans are equally common.

1977 till...?
When did production of this beer stop? Was it tapered off or did it stop all at once? --Ragemanchoo (talk) 03:32, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Status of its existence
The article makes no specific reference to the fact that the beer is still in existence, merely saying how popular it was for a year and then mentioning something about a new factory, which isn’t clear enough 2600:4041:5CCA:2B00:25BF:F72B:22E5:B176 (talk) 09:59, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
