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.

How the hell did that happen?!?!?! Emailing my favorite mod to see if anything can be done, I swear I checked that three times!

I’ll change your vote to Guinness when I tabulate the results.

Thanks to those that voted in the Elite 8, I will count the votes and post the final 4 tonight.
