Blue Moon’s brewed by Coors. Doesn’t that DQ it from “craft/microbrew” contention?

Many of the original beers in the craft/microbrew category are actually brewed by larger brewing companies. The list I used to make the original list divided the beers in 4 categories, popular/general, import, craft/microbrew and fortified/malt. For the purpose of this contest, I divided the popular into 2 categories and did not included one with the fortified crap, the best seller only ranks 54th in sales. Blue Moon Brewery is actually a division of Coors and it’s products are listed in the craft/microbrew category. Coors also brews Molson in Canada and imports it into the US.

MikeG: I’m confused… if Guinness is the “finest beer ever brewed by man” (which I agree with, BTW), why did you vote for Bass?
