My wife just got me some great Guinness glasses,I think they were selling them at Target?

[Deil the Yin]

BRILLIANT!

Ta for that, brother.

Can you get it without the Killians? LOL

Foul tasting stuff, IMHO. It's like Coors just took some of their falgship brew and added some caramel to darken it, and made up some BS about it being Irish.

The recipe for Killian's was bought by Coors from a brewery in Enniscorthy in 1980's. There are no coloring agents or artificial additives used in the brewing process.

That's what Coors will tell you. The original recipe may be from a long defunct Irish brewery, but that's where the Irish-ness ends. Coors has slowly changed the beer from an ale to a lager, to fit commercial US tastes (ie. bland). You won't find this beer in Ireland, nor would it sell, I'd wager.

The same sort of thing has happened to many European beers that have been mass produced in the US. I am sure today's Budweiser tastes a lot different than it did 50/75/100 years ago.

I still see this product hawked as an import, which it certainly is not.

At no point did I say Coors added flavoring, or color, or caramel...I just said it seemed as such, by it's taste. It is slighty sweet, bland, and IMHO, not suitable for drinking.

The US has a horrible reputation in the beer drinkers world, but it is due to the big breweries making products such as this (don't get me started on Michelobe Ultra) There are so many great beers in the US. It's a shame.

I didn't mean to hijack this thread, I just offered an opinion, and then was told my opinion was wrong. Opinions are not right or wrong.

Just got mine on Monday, I could excuse the plastic shot glasses, but the logo is added as a sticker!

It is a rather nice keychain bottle opener though.

And the price can't be beat.

How long did it take to get yours?

I hear Budweiser sells pretty good in ireland.

I just tried a O'fallon Smoked Porter the other day. One of the best beers I have ever tasted! We should have a beer thread...
