Coors. Ugh!

Budweiser. Rice beer! Phooey!!!

I had the opportunity to live and work in Bath, Brighton, and Swindon for several years. I also worked in Belgium (300 breweries - and even Stella Artois is better than Coors) for some of that time. My work also took me to southern Germany and Bavaria.

IMHO, any of the local biers, be they from Britian, Germany, Belgium, or the Netherlands (one taste of Trappiesten Bier spoils one forever) are superior to anything produced in America. (Is it the lack of pastuerization?).

To me, there are not too many better ways to spend an hour or so than to meet with friends in a pub (I probably indulged that fancy too many times while there, but what a delightful memory). The White Swan along the Thames was one of my favorites on my way from Heathrow to the West when I would come there - but all pubs are great. It would be disturbing to see that lifestyle fade into oblivion because of Coors. How repulsive.

I'm not sure I understand how a company like Coors, with such an inferior product to yours, can control the market in Europe?

And will the pub tarrifs you mention affect all biers or only the American imports?

Just curious.

And I really miss the biers of Britian and Europe. If you like bier, and you've never had a pint 'o ale fresh from the tap on your side of the Pond, you've missed a piece of life.

Cheers!
