Sadly, the brewery is still there but closed in 2003 - the water rights have since been condemned by the cities of Olympia, Lacey and Tumwater. Local urban legend used to be if you found a label on a bottle of Oly with four dots on the back and talked your girlfriend into signing it, you had it made in the shade, so to speak.

Regular Coors is delicious, mother’s milk. Coors Light is like having sex in a canoe: “It’s Fu$*in’ Near Water!”

I am deeply saddened.

Condemn water rights? You mean those cities decided to snitch the water instead of the brewery using it?

I used to kid an AF buddy of mine who went to school at CU Boulder about his love of Coors. I told him over and over that the reason it tasted like cold horse piss was that the brewery in Golden was just downstream from a large horse ranch. That would always fire him up.

The miners started calling it that. Ask Sam Elliot - he does the commercials and explains it.

One of those eminent domain things, I guess. Since the brewery was closed, they must have figured their case was strong enough for condemnation and it worked. Plenty of micro-brews to make up for it, though.

That's true. Frankly, I haven't missed Olympia. Now, Falstaff......

Sometimes, the right person posts a story.

This is one of those times.

Did tests of the Coors light reveal that the horse had diabetes or did someone discover a slight beer taste in the water??
