I apparently drink Coors-Miller. Just realized Blue Moon is a Coors' product.

I'm sure that they're the same beers. The breweries remain in their respective locales with the same staff.

It's just quite interesting that so many brewing companies have merged or gone out of business. 30 years ago Milwaukee had six individual locally owned brewing companies and now they have none.

Blue Moon isn't half bad, but I tend to stay clear of beer that you need to put fruit in to get it's full flavor.

I drove by the old Rainer plant yesterday, now they produce Tully's Coffee.

I loved Rainer!!

True, probably because of the need to appeal to a broad base the mass produced beers try to stay safe. If you enjoy beer, then chances are you're going to find something that.......fits(?) better than the best economical option a company like Coors has to offer. There are some good beers out there, but Sam Adams is so far my favorite.

Them too, it's not that I don't enjoy it, it's just too much effort. It's bad enough I have to worry about getting the right temperature. Blue Moon tastes best with, get this, a frieken orange.
