Miller Coors products are not beer!

Perhaps true, but chill a Coors Light to the slush point (27F by my tests) and slug one down after yard work on a blistering hot afternoon and I say it's awesome.

Check received by state June 27 (for the corrected amount) , 3 days letter they get a letter saying ‘your license is expired’ .
(shutdown began June 30) ...what a bunch of tyranical buffoons.

gross inefficiency by bloated goobermint on display again. And some still want them to run their healthcare?

I do that with Moosehead! It’s a great way to cool down fur shure!

I spent the end of my youth in Europe ...including my 20th birthday at Octoberfest in Munich! I had had some beer before that, but after a year of their brews, and especially Denmark’s Tuborg and Carlsberg, when I returned, the only American beer I could drink for over a year was Coors or Olympia...both hard to get in the Midwest.

I’ve had quite a renaissance since then (including a collection of over 1000 different microbrew beer bottles) and would include at least three Summit (St. Paul) and three Lagunitas (CA) offerings amongst my top ten!

Yea, I had a friend who worked at Budweiser’s distribution warehouse for the DFW area, and he got a bunch of free beer. Almost makes me want to work at a brewery :)

The MillerCoors brewing company had been told by the State Department of Public Safety that it needed to stop distribution in Minnesota and would have to devise a scheme to remove its products from stores, according to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune. The employees in charge of renewing the company’s brand license had been deemed noncritical after the shutdown and were unavailable to process the necessary paperwork.

“non-critical” since it’s only The State depriving people from making a living.

“necessary paperwork” meaning we needed to create another bureacracy.
