Reality Check by Dave Whamond for October 01, 2018

So accurate.

Oh SNAP !!!

HANG ON! Isn’t Coors Light supposed to be the ’MAN’S MAN’ beer? (Please don’t take this up the wrong way)

I have consumed enough Canadian beer to say, with some conviction, that Coors Light is not alcohol.

We used to drink American beer to sober up when IO served in Germany. It tasted like carbonated panther p*ss back then

When I’m up to drinking horse piss, I’ll let you know.

Is it even worse than Bud Light?

Back in the day, they used to call it “near beer.”

No thanks, I’d rather be sober.

BURN!!

I remember when Coors wasn’t available east of the Mississippi and I wanted it so bad but, when it became available, I tasted it and wondered why I ever wanted it! :o\

When I was in high school there was a contest in which the prize was a case of Coors. And teaching staff were aware.

I spent a couple of summers in Colorado in the late 70’s. But I live now, and lived then, in the Great Northeast. And in those days, Coors could not be found back home. So getting some was an initial priority when I arrived in CO. What a disappointment. I found folks who were already familiar with it called it “Curs.” There was a similar style of beer made in Washington State called Olympia that was much preferred to Curs.

The horse only ate apples and carrots and drank only water for the last week.

Mountain water

To an alcoholic, beer isn’t even alcohol, just ask Kavanaugh.

Does “banquet beer” make it sound more appealing? Not!!

When I was a teen Coors wasn’t available in stores east of the Mississippi. Oh the allure, the yearning, the marketing.

Then my pal’s cousin Joanie brought a couple 6 packs with her when she visited from CO. Smuggled across the river in her VW Beetle.

The anticipation, the expectation, the……what is this crap? Water with a couple drops of PBR mixed in for color? Yeesh, what a let down.

And that was full bodied Coors. We didn’t even have “light” beers back then.

It’s in the water, that’s why its yellow.

My Uncle Roland used to ask, “What do light beer and a canoe have in common?” The correct answer was, “they’re both close to water.” Thank you Uncle Roland, wherever you are.

No Brewing Company in the US made good beer sense 1920. That’s when Prohibition started. Ended in 1933, but beer has not been the same sense. You need only to archive it’s history.

The major breweries in the USA do not make beer but something like it from rice, corn, and maybe some barley. I have been a home brewer and none of those beers can hold a candle to a beer make just from barley malt, brewer’s yeast, and hops.
