Coors Beer

you guys remember "Governator Ale"? When Arnold was running for governor, some brewery made this beer. Think Arnie shut down their opperation, thinking it would give him a bad wrap...

To me, there's really not much differentiating between mainstream-yellow-beer like Coors, Budweiser, Miller, etc.

I drink Schlitz, Hamms, Stag, and PBR (was drinking PBR before it became hip) because it's a cheap buzz. When hanging with my beer snob friends, I enjoy letting them educate me on the good stuff that's not so cold or yellow.

So to say Coors is bad and Bud (or other typical mainstream beer) is good is not an argument I give any credit to. (note, that comparison has not been made here...I'm not saying it has).

All that said. I'll gladly drink Coors and start spewing off Buford T. Justice lines.

Today is Arnold's brthday. I think I'll have a Governator Ale to celebrate!

I actually think PBR tastes MUCH better than coors... :)

The reason so many folks like the mainstream beers and consider them "good" and the off-brand stuff "bad" is because of advertising. Folks drink it in high school because that's what they're told to drink by the tube...they develop a "taste" (I would rather "tolerance for taste") for it and now it's "good."

Since we are on a Coors related tangent here, Killians Red is pretty damn tasty for something owned by Coors..

Doors tastes fine, but gives me a headache halfway through the first bottle. I used to like the arrogant beers, and not like the domestics, but then I discovered miller lite was 80 percent as good for 50 percent of the cost!

Damn right. Add some hot sauce and stalk of celery. Makes a pretty good imitation Bloody Mary.

Oh, and some beer nuts or pretzels..

I'm proud to say that I have NEVER had a Coor's beer... and have no plans to change that situation...

I wholeheartedly agree.

This guy is a friggin genius. I couldn't agree more. I've never understood people who live or die by Bud Light or Miller Lite and won't drink the other. Any mainline American beer should come in a white can labeled "Beer" (like in Repo Man).

Hold on.. You have a keg-o-rator and you live 1000ft from me... Why do I waste time in my garage when your's is clearly superior..

I was actually thinking of having two taps, one at my bar and the other in the garage, since they share a wall. I've been trying to get my brakes back together on the capri, stop by and show me how the retaining springs go together on the calipers and you can drink my beer and watch me struggle.

Otto...like Otto Parts? Heh?

(repo man humor)

I used to drink Coors. It's OK for an American beer. I've been to the brewery in Golden, taken the tour, got told "only 2..." Bob Costas. It was almost noon. Budweiser gives me a migrane. I'll pass. I'll drink Miller Lite in an emergency (What, you don't have real beer?), otherwise Heineken if I'm out and they have it. Lately, I've been buying Becks and Dos Equis Amber for "house beer." And I still have a couple Hesselbrau left. I need to brew some more.

always remember, if drinking at a mates house, you may never complain about the brand...only the temperature.

You may, however, bring over better beer.

I heard a rumor 2 kegs at challenge heiniken and amstel light per night , there will be funnels and beer hats and hooters girls and live alligator show .

Coors is like Bud Light. Good on a hot summer day when you just want something cold. Any time else, and it sucks. It's like beer flavored water. Old Rasputin is where it's at.

I disagree, it the guy giving you the beer is your friend you should be able to razz him about his discouraging selection of crappy beer. Then say thanks and drink as many as he'll give ya. Just be sure to get ready to be razzed when you hand him a can of old style light at your own house.

To me theres two types of beer. Quality and Quanity. Both have their place and time.

Next election it'll be governator green the way things are going there now lol

Oh and btw while on the subject of the glorious golden beverage My 2 favs When I'm feelin cheap!

and classy!

I like beer that don't need a stick to stir it with.

My favorite is the girls at college parties drinking the 64 calorie Miller. Its half the alcohol!!! They drink twice as much!

Busch Lite for me and my college budget, unless I'm drinking Dads beer. Then its Blue Moon or St. Pauli girl
