Mickey's
Malt liquor beverage brand
Mickey's is a brand of malt liquor made by the Miller Brewing Company,[1] a subsidiary of Molson Coors. It has a 5.6% ABV.
The brand was created by Sterling Brewery in Evansville, Indiana, which brewed it from 1962 through 1972,[2] when the company was purchased by the G. Heileman Brewing Company. In 1996, G. Heilman was acquired by the Stroh Brewery Company who then sold the brand to Miller during their 1999 closure.
Mickey's is known for its bright green barrel-shaped, waffle-ribbed wide-mouthed 12-ounce bottle.[3] It features an image of a hornet on the label and the cap, and rebus puzzles beneath it.[4][5]
At some point Mickey began to sponsor the Ultimate Fighting Championship, using the phrase, "Get Stung", and has featured several UFC fighters on 24 ounce cans.[6] Mickey's is also available in 12, 16, 22, 32, and 40 ounce sizes.[citation needed]
