I've heard that's a myth. A friend of mine who produced commercials
worldwide for Busch told me it's actually all the same stuff.

Budweiser, Miller, and the others are the result of catering to a
certain audience that wants beer that is sufficiently light to allow
the consumption of huge amounts without feeling full. Thus, the
popularity of these watery, icy cold beers with minimal flavor but
sufficient alcohol to get the job done. An interesting footnote to
international beer preference: Five years ago I shot a commercial
near a medium sized Australian farming town. I think it was called
Towamba. It was about 150 miles or so from Brisbane. Anyway, my
partner and I were drinking in a local bar with a half dozen young
guys from town. I asked them what their favorite beer might be,
thinking I'd get hooked up to a locally brewed favorite. "Budweiser!"
they unanimously exclaimed. What can one say?

You can get decent beer in the US; Amstel and Carlsberg are
available in New York and San Francisco -- and hundreds of other

I once drank a bottle of Miller's in Ballston Lake, or Saratoga
Springs I can't be sure. It was atrocious. Why is beer making so
difficult? Or do they make it right and then bugger it up before
bottling?

Coors was very popular among east coast and midwest auto racers,
particularly drag racers, during the sixties. It wasn't available
east of the Rockies, so it was essentially an "import." In those
days the fastest dragsters were all from California, and the
California racers used empty Coors cans to cover their eight
exhaust pipes went the car was shut off. Their eastern counterparts
wanted everything the fast guys had of course, so getting a set of
Coors cans was a major achievement. Some apparently took the leap
of logic that if the cans were good for covering your pipes, the
beer must be good for pouring down your personal pipe. So guys
driving back from the west coast used to pack as much Coors as they
could into their trucks. I guess for folks who grew up drinking
Bud, Miller and Strohs, it probably tasted okay. Like most other
beers, I would guess it's not the same brew today that it was forty
years ago. I can't remember ever trying it.

Definitely not for anyone who likes the taste of beer. AKA cow
piss.
As you probably can tell I did not like the man, the company, nor
the beer.

Hi!
Here's a pic of little April enjoying a Coors. I'm wondering
which
rendition you prefer, and why. If you've the time and
inclination, I'd
appreciate any comments. Thanks!

What Coors is, please?
I prefer the right one... I generally tend to tone my b/w stuff
to warm sepia tones... Feeling warm towards the child can only
enhance the photo.
