[0] I've read it in various reviews; confirmed with acquaintances who have sampled original Old Style, new Old Style, and La Crosse Lager; and got the "we can neither confirm nor deny" plus eye wink when I asked their brewer at a beer festival. And I'm just some guy on the internet, so all this is quite speculative.
