Chavez Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Chelada-style beer with salt and lime added. Pretty light - 110 cals, 6.5 carbs per 12 oz. And it's not bad - I tend to prefer heavier beers in general, but I can see these going down REAL good on hot summer days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's a take off on Corona? don't really care for Corona, or anything else that suggests that I shove a piece of fruit in my beer. Now, if a free truckload or two should show up in my driveway..well then call me pedro.. and pass the opener. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chavez Posted May 23, 2007 Author Share Posted May 23, 2007 Yeah, it's trying to horn in on Corona's turf. But it isn't skunky like Corona; and while I'm not going to say that I'd drop my own dime on it, it was decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twiley Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 I saw some "MicroBrew" at the store yesterday that was labeled as a Summerbrew. Well, I flipped the bottle around and saw it was made by AB. Miller and AB just need to stick to their mass produced crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sundaynfl Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 I believe so. Yes, it is a Coor's product... They also have a Blue Moon Pumpkin and are test marketing a Blue Moon honey... haven't tried the pumpkin, but the honey wasn't bad just something I wouldn't buy for me. The wife likes it.

AB released a pumpkin spice brew around Halloween here. I didn't care for it too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evil_gop_liars Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 That looks horrible. Does this beer belong in the flavored beer or a malt beverage category? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief Dick Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Busch Light is a good, all-season beer. I'd recommend it in Spring, Summer, Fall, AND Winter. Can't go wrong at $12.99 for 30 of 'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care what people shove in their beer, just that Hhnks of fruit aren't for me. If I want fruit while I drink, I'll cut up some mellon or something. That being said, I do drink corona at friends house and don't complain. I just chuck the hunk of lime into a house plant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundaynfl Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 I don't care what kind of "lighter" beer it is when it's hot... just as long as the beer is is cold. I still remember one of the "best beers" I had was on a humid 106 degree day and I was landscaping for a living. The lady came out to thank us as we were loading up the truck and asked if we would like some beer and watermelon... we all said yes, so she brought out a hugh cooler filled with ice, Budwieser and watermelon. I HATE budweiser; but along with the watermelon and cool sidewalk in the shade, it is one of my favorite "beir" memories! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chavez Posted May 24, 2007 Author Share Posted May 24, 2007 Stop trying to create sales for that disgusting beer you deliver! If it wasn't passable, I wouldn't mention it. I thought it was different/not bad. Shame on me, I suppose, for supporting the company I work for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When given a choice, I have preferences. When it's offered, who am I to say no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonkis Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Not to hijack, but I'm not one to start a topic, usually. I'm adding on to my existing deck, and after spending 2 long hot days this past weekend, I cracked an ice cold Molson Canadian. A tthat moment, it was the best beer in the entire universe.
