[QUOTE=OneCentStamp] Yes, it’s definitely a good “starter” microbrew. So is Sierra Nevada, and so, honestly, is Sam Adams, even though they’re far from tiny. I think they make a terrific line of beers, and they’re great for introducing a newbie to the taste of hops. 😛 [/QUOTE] Sam Adams is what got me started on my long beer journey, so I will always have a place in my heart for them. 🙂 I’m not much of a lager drinker but, when it’s fresh, Sam Adams Boston Lager is still one of my favorites. ---

This last month or so, Sam Adams has been my “I’m home and it’s been a bitch of a day” beer. But mostly the fridge is stocked with Sierra Nevada and Stone. True California microbrews with hops galore. How many IBUs are there in Coors Light? -5? ---

[QUOTE=Cluricaun] Pssst…posts 18 and 19. [/QUOTE] Oooops. But they are kind of wrong. It was classified as a merger not an acquisition and I’m pretty sure they had nothing to do with shutting down that annoying and annoyingly popular Joe Canadian campaign. > [@](#): > > Molson Inc. (TSX: MOL.A) and Adolph Coors Company (NYSE: RKY) today announced that they have completed the transaction announced on July 22, 2004 to combine Molson and Coors in a merger of equals.

[QUOTE=silenus] These people need to be weeded from the gene pool before they reproduce. But I’m right there with you on the Zima issue. [/QUOTE] Too late – I already have two sons who grew up on Coors. One drinks Odell’s when he can get it, the other prefers New Belgium, but they live far, far away from Colorado. I’ve been known to … um … “supply” them with a case of their favorite brew now and then. Otherwise, they reach for Coors, just like they were taught. Hell, even I like New Belgium Wheat once in a while. But I wouldn’t drink it every day, even if it only cost two bucks a six-pack.
