By what it says on the can/bottle.

Mine says

“Brewed for a crisp, full taste”  
“A passion for quality shows in every beer we brew.It’s about making something you can take pride in.”

\*contains no additives or preservatives  
\*union made

Sound yummy?

Son of a bitch, that’s what I was coming in to say. Seriously, it’s on my clipboard…see “Brewed on the banks of the mighty St. Vrain”  
What’s I like about that is, when talking to someone from Left Hand, he told me that it’s more or less a joke as the St Vrain isn’t mighty so much as a little creek that runs behind the brewery. In fact, a lot of their beers have some sort of a joke or story to go along with the name or (old) label.

Really? Of all the things used to make beer, they’re bragging about the water?:rolleyes:  
I’d rather not have beer that was similar to making love in a canoe (fucking close to water).

Because, hell. if your going to tie one on why waste money? Drink the cheapest shit you can find!

That’s a little unfair. Schaefer beer isn’t great but it’s not all that horrible either.

Read the rest of that label. It’s Priceless:

\ ***Increases Appetite** when you’re at the Dennys at 3am after bar closing

\*\*\*Promotes Restful Sleep \*\*when you’re passed out in the gutter

\ ***Help to banish that run down feeling** [I feel sorry for people who don’t drink](http://www.allgreatquotes.com/funny_quotes119.shtml)

\ ***Stimulate bodily function in both young and old** when you piss like a race horse after 6 of these

\ ***Help lactation** you gotta be [shitting me!](http://hop-talk.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/10/beer-benefits-baby.jpg)

\ ***Promote Growth** your boner over the ugly chick at the bar.

**MadTheSwine** , what more do you want?😃

“Brewing Tradition Since 1845” = huh, they must have been around quite a while!  
“Union Made” = hmmm…not quite sure what that has to do with it…  
“Brewed & Bottled by Minhas Craft Brewery” = Okay, back on track - I like craft beer!  
“[DamnGoodBeer.com](http://DamnGoodBeer.com)”= Wait a second…

Clear Creek Ice - easily the worst beer I have ever tasted in my entire life.
