So I tried to drink a Coors light today.

[EineProsit]

Admittedly I have never been a light beer drinker but how do they sell the stuff and how do do they legally call it beer?
I imagined the 10 gal recipie must be 1 lb of stale rice hulls and possibly some 2 row floor sweepings from the malting department.
I love my homebrew!

 

[roger617]

That review sounds accurate, haha.

 

[Rockindaddy]

But they have a can that vents on both sides!

 

[Epimetheus]

Try other lite beers. You may find the Coors is best of the group.

 

[urbanmyth]

I actually enjoy the corny flavor from Miller products.

 

[strambo]

heh, I had one a few months ago and thought it was refreshing like lemonade...didn't seem like beer though. Just what your palate is accustomed to...

Edit: I remember thinking Dead Guy was a little on the bitter side, just had one on tap with dinner the other night, tasted like a normal Amber, no bitterness at all, must be all the DIPAs I've been into lately!

 

[Chug]

It's kinda like eating good steak for a month then having a spam sandwich. Both are definitely food, but one is better and beyond the other.

I drank Coors light for years before discovering/developing my taste for craft, but I'll still have one here and there, mainly because my local bars don't carry good beer and most of my friends drink cheap ****. When I do, I don't bitch about it too much. At least not out loud.

Miller Lite is good in Saki Bombs.
Bud Lite is the most drinkable of the 3 IMHO.

 

[meltroha]

They are well made, just well made pieces of crap. I would love to work for them to learn how to brew though, they certainly have the technique down.

I was recently at a party where I brought some Golden Road, Mission Brewing, and Ninkasi stuff along with me... But I saw a Coors Light in the main cooler and something -- maybe it was the heat, maybe it was the sun -- just called out to me.

I drank that Coors Light and, to be perfectly honest, enjoyed it. It wasn't flavorful. But at the same time, it wasn't flawed. It was crisp, clean, and refreshing. There are a lot worse things I could have been drinking -- some of them which carry the "craft" moniker on them.

Am I going to rush out and buy a "cube" of Coors Light? Absolutely not. But at that time, and that place, it worked out really well.

every once in a while, a cheap ass can of swill is pretty tasty. i'm enjoying a stag right now.

 

[DrunkleJon]

Monday while tearing the interior out of our LeMons race car in the making, my buddy tossed me a BL. Honestly, It was exactly what I needed right then. Crisp, clean, with the level of beer-y flavor I wanted at that moment.. I do not think the situation would have done a delicious HB justice. What I needed was that light, watery drink where I could have 6 on the hot day and not be drunkenly be setting off the air bags.

...Golden Road...

I had Golden Road's Point the Way at Yardhouse the other day and it prompted me to go buy a 12pk of it. I really need to drive down there some weekend and hit their taproom.

 

[Coldies]

I was a big CL drinker before I got into brewing. Always loved craft beer as well, but usually went for quantity over quality. I can't even remember when the last time I bought any of the "Big 3" but I will say that I will have one here and there at a bbq. Ice cold on a hot day, is like drinking flavored water and hits the spot.

 

[Frige]

The only thing I like about coors is I can drink a 6 pack and not even get a buzz. Too much hb? I used to get blasted off of that stuff....

 

[TylerGuy]

Blasphmey!!!!! how could you go back to that garbage?

C lite is my go to drinking game beer.

Whenever I hear people defend BMC beers because they are well-made and take a lot of effort to engineer, I always think of Tommy Boy when he's selling the brake pads to the guy in the factory and they talk about the guarantee on the box:

Pardon the language if you are sensitive to such things.

 

[McBrewskie]

Actually I drank something last night I consider worse than Coors. I had a Stella and it was disgusting. Given I had just finished one of my own lagers, but that Stella was terrible and tasted disgustingly stale.

 

[Malric]

I just had my first bud lite since I started brewing. I have to admit that a ball game that is 90+ and sunny goes really well with a bmc. I suppose that everything has its place.

 

[khouse23]

As much as I don't like any of the light beers, nothing is as refreshing when you mow the grass on a hot day as coots light. Any other time I like to try every new/unusual craft beer I come across

Agreed. For me it's when it's a 100 out and I have an ice cold, I'm talking actual ice slush in it, PBR.

 

[KGB09]

I have a BBQ every now and then. Usually get left with a case of Coors Light, maybe a Buck Skin or two. They used to just sit in the cooler till the next one, but lately when I'm out of decent beer i'll have one or two. If I was forced to choose I would go with the Coors over the other two. Not sure if its because I'm from CO or the taste... Well maybe lack of taste.

 

[roger617]

I say we bring back public hangings

Aye!

 

[hops2it]

I don't mind Miller Lite on occasion. CL is even more watered down and BL genuinely makes me spit up at first taste. I can do regular Bud though no problem. Actually prefer Busch Light to the classic BMC (light) trio.

 

[Quaffman]

I was in my buddy's wedding last year. The morning of the wedding they had a grooms men's lunch. The offered all of the free Coors light we could drink. I instead opted for a full priced hopsecutioner. Just can't bring myself to drink that crap again ever since my college days.

I had my first Crispin Cider after last weekends mow. Man, I thought that was refreshing. I drank keystone light throughout college.

 

[ArkotRamathorn]

Agreed. For me it's when it's a 100 out and I have an ice cold, I'm talking actual ice slush in it, PBR.

I went to a ramen shop in Madison a couple weeks ago and the place was packed to the gills with hipsters, and, the 16 oz. PBRs were only like 2.50 or 3 bucks so I'm like, screw it, I know I've liked PBR before so may as well get a little tipsy on PBR while eating ramen. It's honestly ok, its better than ML which is what I "grew up" drinking.

I went back to my hotel and drank some 6 Point 3 Beans (wow, I just remembered how much I wish I had like a dozen cans of that for making some delicious stout brownies), and some Old Chub (two extremes, PBR to crude oil 3 beans).

 

[khouse23]

Agreed. For me it's when it's a 100 out and I have an ice cold, I'm talking actual ice slush in it, PBR.

When I was playing in a band there was a bar we played in all the time where you could get a 6 pack of PBR for 5 bucks, it was my go to drink when we played because I didn't use my share of the money we made entirely on my tab. PBR is good in my book
