A List of Beers to Avoid

The following is a list of beer names owned by Budweiser and Miller, from an article on Chicagoist.
Most of them are watery and sweet lager beers. Some pretend to be folksy microbrews.

You and I probably drank some of these when we were young and practicing hard to learn the limits of our alcohol intake.

I've drank Bass, Becks, and Blue Moon. They taste ok. But I don't want to give my money to any company that likes to smear its logo-feces around my city/stadiums/TV.

up yours, Coors!

I saw that faded bumper sticker on an old car in 1986. I don't know what it was about. Then I read that the anti-union Coors family had supported the Contra militias against the democratically elected Sandinistas in Nicaragua. Then "up yours, Coors!" meant that to me.

Today Eater reports that MillerCoors is being sued for marketing Blue Moon as a craft beer when it is in fact a mass produced beer.

Coors is not the only macrobrewery marketing slop in a folksy label. Maybe soon it will be easier to tell the difference without having to drink it.

Je Suis Charlie

" Religion, a medieval form of unreason, when combined with modern weaponry becomes a real threat to our freedoms. This religious totalitarianism has caused a deadly mutation in the heart of Islam and we see the tragic consequences in Paris today. I stand with Charlie Hebdo, as we all must, to defend the art of satire, which has always been a force for liberty and against tyranny, dishonesty and stupidity. ‘Respect for religion’ has become a code phrase meaning ‘fear of religion’. Religions, like all other ideas, deserve criticism, satire, and, yes, our fearless disrespect. " --Salman Rushdie
