yah, I'm that old


we used to call coors 'Colorado kool-aid"

I was stationed in Denver for a brief period of time and I am here to tell you that the watered down Coors served at 6000 ft. still had a mule like kick to it. Some of which I remember!
:donkey: :koolade:

The story line from Smokey And The Bandit was getting a load of Coors into a state where it was illegal to sell it.

"From the land of sky blue waters" was Hamm's. Yeah, I remember those cute bears in the commercial. Even after they stopped running alcohol ads on TV, they did have the bears in their print ads and store displays for awhile.

I lived a good chunk of my formative years a couple of miles downwind of the Coors plant. Even though I'm not a drinker, fermenting hops and barley is still one of the odd smells that make me think of "home." (The other is oil refineries, from my years in Southeast Texas.)

Coors' tagline had to do with "Pure Rocky Mountain Spring Water." The water source was primarily Clear Creek, a beautiful spring- and glacier-fed stream that runs along Highway 6 into the mountains west of Golden. After it left the plant... well, let's just say that the trickle that remained of Clear Creek wasn't so clear any more.

That may be where Bear Whiz Beer gets their water.
