Epcot Freestanding Snack Carts Selling Miller Lite and Coors Lite Instead of Bud Light.

[jaxonp]

InBev is bud and Stella... they bought SABMiller but had to sell Miller and Coors because of antiTrust.

Can I get a steamwhistle yet?

FWIW. In the game of light ultra mass produced lagers. Coors light trumps them all.

What say you @jakeman

I'll drink all three if they are free.

I've honestly not had the big three American Light Lagers enough to form an opinion. Although I think I remember Coors having the most flavor out of the three.

I'd prefer Bud in the parks, because then my wife will try a different beer, not like it and hand it over to me. But she likes her coors light and miller lite

Coors Light is soooo bad that I refuse to call it beer.

But. It is, in fact, beer.

 

[MaximumEd]

Plain Coors for the win. Light beer is garbage, from what I remember. Haven’t partaken of the silly juice in years. The world is a safer place because of it.

In the rest of the world especially europe Coors would be considered a malt beverage since traditionally corn isn't allowed in beer.

 

[Horizons '83]

Its like selling hot garbage instead of wet garbage...

That is in no way accurate.

 

[King Panda 77]

Please explain

Maybe. Barely.

 

[jakeman]

Please explain

I hate you.

I've been trying to come up with a non-convoluted way to explain this, but there's a lot of history there.

So I'll just reference the World Beer Cup style guide that has corn as an acceptable ingredient in a few beers but most notably the International-Style Pilsener:

Link for reference: https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/...80212145942/18_WBC_Style_Guidelines_Final.pdf

I hope that I don't need to point out that corn being acceptable in a style that has International in it's title should preclude any further questions regarding the acceptability of Coors (quality notwithstanding) as a beer.

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go gargle some bleach having had to defend Coors.

Reinheitsgebot known as the "German Beer Purity Law, used in Germany and The Holy Roman Empire established in 1516 states "the only ingredients that could be used in the production of beer were water, barley and hops. The text does not mention yeast as an ingredient, since its existence was unknown.[2]"

And for those that think it's an old law,
"After German reunification in 1990 the Neuzeller Kloster Brewery, a former monastery brewery in the East German town of Neuzelle, Brandenburg, was warned to stop selling its black beer as it contained sugar. After some negotiations the brewery was allowed to sell it under the name Schwarzer Abt ("Black Abbot") but could not label it "bier"."

Man...really throws a wrench into the whole thing when you talk about German Hefeweizens that use wheat instead of barley.

Good thing they are referred to as "malt beverages" on their label.

Oh...wait:

The Reinheitsgebot is great and all (we've got a local brewery that brews strictly to that standard and they are awesome), but it doesn't dictate international labeling guidelines.

Both are better than anything Budweiser

Yes, I love a good unfiltered Hef. But it is quantified as a Weissbier, directly translated as Wheat Beer. I don't believe they have a designation for corn beer.

I was mainly saying they can label it beer, but most Euros wouldn't consider Coors a "bier".
