Carona and Lime. How 'Bout Budweiser and Lime?

[godlessgael]

These beer companies with their fake lime.... My Southern friends in college were drinking 32's of Miller High Life with lime long before the company "thought" of it. Is it the best beer? Heck no. Is there a better (read:cheaper) thirst quencher on a hot day? Negative.

Of course, my favorite beer is my next one.

+1. Stay away from the pre-fruitted fake lime stuff. Add the lime/lemon/orange after opening/pouring if that's your thing. Plus, if your drinking pal(s) don't like the fruit, they can skip it and just have their beer without the fruit. Never did understand the reasoning behind selling pre-fruitted beer with artificial lime flavor. I guess if folks will buy it someone will make it.

4406v, Corona doesn't taste like crap, but it sure does smell like it. I can get drunk on one beer. Usually #7 or #8.

the only thing that should be added to a beer is a shot of Tequila-DON'T FRUIT THE BEER!!!!!

+1. Hell, that sounds like a great way to screw up a great full bodied beer.

A few times I found myself in Colorado and stopped off at the Coors brewery. That's where I fell in love with Blue Moon

My brother-in-law works for Coors - he drives the train (is that a cool job or what??). He always has Blue Moon in the fridge.

That's a pretty nice job! My fridge is sadly lacking Blue Moon...

Two great things about the tour is at one point you stop and get a sample of either Coors or Coors light fresh from production.... MAN is that GOOD!!! Then at the end you get three free beers... anything Coors makes. Funny though... the gift shop is located AFTER the free beer area.. so they get a bunch of half drunk people buying stuff they normally wouldn't.

Didn't see that one comin'....

Thought all folks up in PA only drank Yuengling and Straub supplimented by the occasional Rolling Rock or Iron City .... all by the case, of course... State mandate or something....

Didn't even know they let Coors (or even Bud)enter the state!

(Just a good-natured tease... PA is home to many good breweries. I have never been disappointed by the beer on my visits...)

Haha.. no I hear ya! I think many of my friends drink Yuenling... because it's local.

But as to getting my hands on the Coors products.. lets just say it usually takes place in a back alley far from view....

I never liked Coors during high school, but in '76 I hitch hiked home from Wash. DC with a friend. We were 19. Had massive backpacks. When in Denver and our first hotel in a while we were at a pizza place and I thought it was appropriate to drink Coors. It was wonderful! Maybe phycological but who cares. Now I drink it all the time. I got massive sunburn riding in the back of a P.U. truck through Kansas between two lightning storms. Peeled the skin off my leg back in Ca. and it's still in my photo album under plastic. Excuse me for digressing...
