Beer Train Derails

Asphalt and beer?  Well, they're not going to get anything clever out that, like the time freight cars derailed and spilled chocolate and peanut butter.

Not anymore! It ain't even brewed in the Bass Brewery (now part of Coors empire) anymore!

What he said.

The Harp that we get in the States is brewed in Canada, and not Ireland, so it is a Canadian brew (same as Fosters and a few others). I believe that some of the kegged Guinness comes out of Canada as well.

Edit: So it wouldn't be "Foster's, mate!", it would be "Foster's, eh!".

Wow, didn't know that! I like Foster's too, but...Wow! And what about American brewed in Brition? Coor's is a girl beer here, do they brew it differently over there? I here Britsh beer (Irish, English, Scottish, even the liquor) is meant to be drank warm. Not here in the States, right? Wow! We prefer cold brew! How different is that?

 I still say what we need is an English to English Dictionary. Along with Scots, Irish, Canadaien, Aussie, and NZ. My ancestor's where all Brit. Amazing how we purposfully differentiated ourselves. Now we are lost.

I am probably going to get hammered for saying this, but most of the big name brews (American style lagers) in the States are better cold because they don't have much flavor or body and drinking them cold is the best way to tolerate them. A lot of European brews have distinct flavours and body and taste better when served cool, not cold. Some do taste better when served at room temp. I don't remember any beer being served warm when I was in Europe, though.

Fortunately there are a lot of great up and coming micro brews in the US. That is one thing that I love about living in Colorado is the great selection of "local" brews. New Belgium really seems to be popular now. Most of their stuff is great. Some of you may be familiar with Fat Tire which seems to be their most popular suds.

Whoa, Whoa, I'm not a coors fan either, but lone star in NOT better than anything.

We see quite a bit of Coors traffic moving across the LaJunta Sub on the DENKCM/KCMDEN trains. As for the beer itself, not a Coors fan--they are a non union operation.

Accident?.. I thought this was just part of Coors new "Silver Bullet" commercial.

Glad no human damaged was suffered due to this, except maybe a little emotion over spilled beer.

To that statement. There is even beer with trains on them.

No, it's water on rails! It's Coor's people! Coor's! What a loss?

I think you guys should Canadian beer. Good strong beer. Most of our stuff is at 5% if not more. I like Extra Old Stock at 5.65% or Wildcat at over 6%.

 Man, are we getting off topic or what?  Maybe we should just drink to it.

Why not try some of the chocolate from the cars that fell into the east river, if you do not like COORS!!
