great beers

[Little Whiskey]

Long time ago, sometime around 1977, I went to Arizona to visit my grandfather. We went shopping for a few things and he threw a six-pack of Coors in the cart. Later that day he and I popped one open and its mild, smooth flavor was an epiphany to one raised on the fizzy sourness of Stroh's and Old Style. I've had Coors since, but it seems watery and ordinary, and it has never been anything like that original goodness.

Are any of you beer guys old enough to know from experience if there was that much difference between the old unpasteurized Coors meant for constant refrigeration and local consumption and the new formula meant for the masses?

Colorado Kool Aid!

Just as an FYI, quoting yourself is considered bad forum etiquette, unless it's to prove a point you've made that's been previously disputed and now proven correct.

How could I survive LIFE without you !

I'm taking a road trip down there. This place looks like a great place to spend a few hours, and the drive down along the river is incredible.

Is taht the beer that has the hatchet on the label? I will always take more of that, that was great stuff.....or anything that you put together.

Howie, I just did an extensive comparison of the following IPAs. IMperial IPA from New Glarus is much finer, but they tell me the supply is limited....

Both are extremely strong - 9+%. Commodore Perry "Don't give up the sip" clocks in at around 7.0%

I can swing through New Glarus too and check that place out. It'll be like going to Napa Valley without all the d-bags.

I have had some nice Unplugged beers from them.....the Red is always nice...it's like drinking a Jolly Rancher. I've had a couple of the Great lakes selections but never the Monster. You guys get the Russian River stuff out there? (Blind Pig or the Pliny)

Yep...label change this year though. I'm getting together a care package. Just fill it with Surly cans for the return.
