In Reply To #8 We ARE in the General Beer Forum... ?? How drunk are you?

In Reply To #11 I know where we are, I was merely commenting that we should talk about beer here, not carbonated slightly alcoholic water.

In Reply To #12 lol. gotcha. now we're on the same page.

What do you get if you mix a coors and a Molsen Canadian....an awful beer. Hopefully they can collaborate and come up with a beer that doesn't suck ass.

In Reply To #14 Maybe two bads = a good? Not likely! I remember the first time I had a Molson Golden and thought "wow, this thing has so much flavor!". Now I can't stand it after a few sips. I don't mind the Canadian too much, but it's still a swill beer.

In Reply To #15 Funny you say that because the Molson Golden is the only one I can sort of tolerate. It's still a bad beer, but not nearly as bad as some of the others. Molson Ice is like a skunk pissed in it.

Molsen Golden is awful...even for a Molsen Beer.

In Reply To #7 Retro--In 1984, I bought a bottle of Molson Golden by mistake. I assumed it was the regular Molson that Consumer Reports had rated favorably, albeit as a somewhat bland product. The Golden was in an attractively designed light blue, white, and gold labeled container and had a very well "crafted" balanced flavor with a superb bitterness right in the middle. I think the Snobs and Gourmets of BP today would have been impressed. Unfortunately, Molson Golden has gone thru many label changes and I don't know how many formula changes since then. I still consider it drinkable, but not nearly as good as it was. My theory is that Molson developed brand loyalty among Canadian consumers with quality products, and then began to 'adjust their formulas' i.e. cut production costs.

In Reply To #3 Here is a perfect example of survival of the popular. These biers and ales are nicht mein bier, but someone is damn sure buying them! If you are a commercial operation, you are not interested in setting brewing trends, your concern is the bottom line. Lght bodied Pils type biers rule the world's commercial market, period. In the eyes of coors (aka sewers)how can they make a better product then one that make Billions of $$?!! Go anywhere in the world and guess what the vast majority of folks drink, Pils! In England, ok, maybe Stale Ale, to some degree, but "lager" is making huge inroads there as well. Guinness produces the continental (same as US) Buttwiper in Ireland! Face it lads, we ride in the back of the world's bier bus. We few, we happy few...

In Reply To #19 Question: Do you think the beer executives drink the stuff their factories produce...?
