I attended Regis College (now University) in Denver in 1977 and Coors sponsored a bunch of student activities. Friday Afternoon Club was sometimes held at the brewery in nearby Golden. All the 2.3 beer you could drink but you coud only use those crummy little dixie cups. We would bring cafeteria trays and lots of dixie cups with us until those were banned.

Coors also has a ceramics division with some VERY high quality materials we use for various biomedical projects.

I therefore vote Coors (not coors light) as official FR beverage(adult).

Interestingly enough, their ceramics were used in engineering tests for Project Pluto, a 1950s attempt to build a nuclear-ramjet-powered cruise missile. (Yes, you read that right: an air-cooled nuclear reactor provided the heat content for the ramjet.)
