Sterling was a regional premium pilsner-style beer that was brewed in Evansville, Indiana and later in Louisville, Kentucky. In its heyday of the 1950s-1970s, Sterling Beer was available in bottles, cans, and on draft. Its market area included Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky (very popular in Greater Louisville), Ohio, Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and occasionally a few other states. Sterl
ing Beer was brewed continuously from 1863 until Prohibition, and then from 1933 to the early 2000s, when the brand's owner at the time, Pittsburgh Brewing Company, stopped making it after the company emerged from bankruptcy. The Sterling brand was purchased by Kentucky entrepreneurs and resurrected in 2015 before going out of production again a few years later.
