The story behind it
St. Ides was introduced in 1987 by the McKenzie River Corporation and later acquired by Pabst Brewing Company. It gained legendary status in the 1990s through famous endorsements by major rap and hip-hop icons, cementing its place in street culture and beverage history.
Launched in the late 1980s, St. Ides became a highly recognizable name in urban culture through pioneering hip-hop marketing campaigns. The brewing process uses selected grains and hops to achieve a higher alcohol concentration while maintaining a approachable, sweet palate.
