So I can't help but notice that a lot of the folks around here HATE the big lager companies with what I have to call an irrational passion. Don't get me wrong, when I go to the greatest grocery store on earth (Jungle Jim's) I head straight to the huge wall of individual bottles of beer most of which I've never heard of and start grabbing like a kid in Willie Wonka's factory. However, I finish up by hitting the walk-in for some of the good old standby: Coors Light. It's a great drinking beer. It tastes very even keal in my book, and I need something clear to drink between the others.... kind of like a pallet cleanser. I can drink stouts all night, but my mouth tastes like the Bert (SWMBO's dog) had a bowel movement in my mouth when i wasn't looking. Also I took the Coors tour in their golden colorado plant a while back, and of course got several free FRESH samples. Let me tell ya the flavors of coors light, coors original, blue moon, etc. are beautifully pronounced when they're that fresh. I honestly don't know what the heck happens to these brews when they leave the plant, 'cause they aren't as good later. Still tasty but not the same. Why are the refined designs of some of the oldest brewers poo-pooed so darn much? If it aint your bag, fine. But calling names like deer piss and swill etc. doesn't make much sense to me. There are plenty of beers I haven't liked at all, but I don't really care about that. I just don't buy those again. Is there anyone else that get's a little turned off by the comments I'm talking about?
