I fT TIP FOR BEER I4IIIEDO 3-BOTTLI TEST MOYII -— 'MTJgBF \ Bt' STE RLINC m ALL-GRAIN FLAVOR TEST j Most folks don't need a whole bottle to prove Sterling ha* the J||H| finest beer flavor they ever tasted. But just to be sure, try three MMiJNnK bottles. You’ll stick to your first impression because Sterling is 11/fß ft (jj ail-grain beer at its very best. Only the choicest grains are good enough for Sterling: no sugar—no glucose—no fattening syrups ever addod. That means it’s low in calories, too; an 8-oz. glass is no more fattening than the usual cup of coffee. Start a 3-bottle v test today and see whst a difference that all-grain flavor makes. Also on draught and in keglincd cans. g jf Bnauuc Baiwmn. Inc, Ivttmua, l«n«u
