Coors banquets are goin down tonite
So, he bought the beer, then...right?
Yes, I told him I wouldn’t charge him for diagnosing his vehicle. It worked out
I have heard of some criticisms that it’s mostly made in Colorado and California. When I went on a tour of a A-B brewery, se real of their beers were available as a tasting. I think I went for a hard cream soda but I didn’t use my coupon (for a beverage after the tour at their bar) on a beer since I was driving.
I tried it first time last thanksgiving.
One of my top 5 favorites.

Having this in a friend’s garage now.
It’s been a long time, but the OG Coors “banquet” was pretty good beer IMO, probably still is.
It is made in Colorado for sure, my Wife and I have a very good friend that works for AB in Fort Collins. She had some in the fridge for me when we went out there and she told me that they make it there.
I remember once I found that in slim 8 oz cans. They weren't like any of the current 8 oz cans that are either shorter or proportional with 12 cans, only smaller. They were about the height of a 12 oz can but slimmer. I brought some to a tailgate and a friend said "Wow, that is the Silver Bullet. Do you drink it with your pinky sticking out?"
I was only a kid and didn't partake, but I remember when Coors (not sure if Coors Light was available) had these ridiculously hard to open push top cans in the late 70s. Apparently they had traditional pull tabs, ones that needed a can piercer, and then the push top.
I heard some people were injured trying to open the push tops. Either with an implement (like a screwdriver) slipping or just cutting a finger on the edge of an opening. I remember when Coors discontinued them in favor of modern push tops with the captive tab opener, they had a commercial that was ridiculing their old design and how hard it was to open.

This mentions that they were mostly brewed at locations of the Craft Brew Alliance. I think in Washington or New Hampshire that would have been Red Hook. In Oregon that's probably Widmer Brothers. But Craft Brew Alliance is owned by InBev A-B but sold off Kona Brewing. Not sure where it's currently made, but it wouldn't surprise me if it's still there. A-B can do a ton of contract brewing. I've seen the size of their fermentation tanks.

That’s interesting, I can’t imagine making a can that you have to open like that. Perfect for the folks that lose all sense of self preservation after a few beers. I imagine there really was a lot of cut up fingers!
One of the best out there; I’m glad you’re liking it; enjoy!I believe it was @miden851 that posted a picture of this beer in a reply to one of my posts quite a while back. Well believe it or not, I have never had this particular beer.
@miden851, cheers buddy! It’s pretty darned good!
Cheers to everyone else as well!

Folks, the ongoing fiasco regarding bud light is politically polarized and thus outside what BITOG rules allow posting about.
As everyone is now advised of something that is obvious, don't post about that brand, controversy or related details. Individuals who choose to violate the rules they agreed to will not be happy.
