A taste of our history…
As the name states, National Premium was an upscale beer.
It was the ritzy brother of Baltimore’s National Brewing Company’s more popular blue-collar brew, National Bohemian.
National Premium’s icon Mr. Pilsner, (originally spelled with an extra “e” Pilsener) sported a monocle and often donned a tuxedo.
