In Colorado back in the olden days, they sold 3.2 beer in grocery stores and if you were 18 years old it was legal to buy beer there. Coors was referred to as "Colorado Koolade".
When Coors was sold only in the two states of Wyoming & Colorado in the 1950's, Wyoming, it was a pretty good and top selling beer and was 4-6% stuff, not the 3.2 watered down version. At that time the bottles were 11 oz. and the cans were 12 oz. It was when they branched out to other states that the beer went downhill. I remember in 1964, I ordered a can of Coors at the bar, and instead of just drinking it out of the can, I poured it into the glass the bartender set on the bar with it. It wouldn't even foam when poured or even when shaken. I had been noticing that the taste had changed way before this, and due to the demand after covering more states, it was shipped way too early and never had time to age properly. So, I changed to Budwieser long necks.

We use that description for ALL american beer 🙂
I've drank beer on four continents, including Australia; I've drank beer in a pub in Austria; I've tried damned near every beer known to man. I'm not a fan of most of the mass produced American beers, but there's not a thing wrong with a Budweiser longneck, or better yet a Yuengling longneck now that we can buy them here. And the microbrewery industry here is truly flourishing and turning out world class brews in almost every state in the country.
Coors and Olympia were taboo so of course we drank them when it was illegal east of Dallas.
One of the best beers was at tbe Taipe airport in a noodle shop.
80 cents a can Tawain beer 6.5% and very smooth.
When I can find Tiger lager is my choice.
Till then Old Milwaukee.
