Anyone know if they purposely misspelled throughly? Found this on the 1936 editions they have out right now

[rondog]

College-trained geniuses running the art dept. They'd probably argue that it's correct.

Oh, it's thoroughly, BTW. Probably too big of a word for their little label.

Oh...well, there you go! They probably did do it on purpose. "Hey look, we can totally get away with this!"

Hey now...Alcohol and firearms Do Not mix!

I should probably confiscate that beer. Merely for your protection, of course.

Its coors. No worries.


So Gunner, why are you drinking Coors? Couldn't find any bottled water?

While I would never endorse drinking Coors if there are other options, it was recently ranked #3 in the best cheap American beers list. (Remember when Rolling Rock was good?)

Rolling Rock was good? Damn, those must have been the days. [LOL]I don't mind Coors Original- now Coors Light, that stuff is damn near water. Same with Bud Light. But if I have a choice in the matter, I will chose something a little better than one of the big 3.

[hghclsswhitetrsh]

Gross. Coors? Your like wrapping your hand and lips around a cowboy? Hahaha. Just kidding!!!!

[3beansalad]

Rolling Rock before A-B InBev bought them = more better.
But hell, I came up drinking Little Kings and Hudy Delight.

Coors, now proudly served at Brokeback Brewhaus. [gayafro]

For the win.

Seriously how do you guys drink that shit? They have *gasp* union employees!!!!!

[Gunner]

Oh man guys! I was at a party in Fort Collins and it was in the cooler. Free beer is good beer

[3beansalad]

No doubt- Everything is better when it's free.

Did 'banquet' have a different cultural/contextual meaning back in the day? I get the mental picture of a wedding reception, which makes me want hard alcohol not beer.

[Singlestack]

Didn't you guys know that "Thoroly" is simply ebonics for white folks?? [Beer]

No. When was Rolling Rock good? We used to say it was the closest thing to water in Philadelphia (water from the Surekill stank -- literally -- and tasted horrible).

[spqrzilla]

Compared to Hudy it was good!

Anybody ever drink any Strohs, or Iron City? Brrrr, gives me the willies just thinking of it.

All of those are better than Old Milwaukee...

[islandermyk]

Believe it or not... Coors beer was the first beer I drank and got drunk off of... back in Guam... I think I was 15 at the time [Coffee]

I'd be misspelling sh*t too, [ROFL1]

Could be worse Schlitz, Falstaff and Hamms. Without Coors we would not have Smoky and the Bandit. I never called it Banquet it was always "regular" or "real" Coors.

[GilpinGuy]

Hey, Coors might be the baquet beer but PBR won a gold
medal....about 120 years ago.

[drift_g35]

Just checked with the wife who works for coors. They are doing on purpose for commemorative cans/ bottles for 75 years of these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1937-COORS-GOLDEN-EXPORT-LAGER-BEER-FLAT-TOP-IRTP-THOROLY-AGED-/271074590872

Correction- Blue Ribbon... that's what beers win, gold medals are for the Olympics. [Coffee]

Then ... after typing that response to Ronin I remember we're talking about Pabst Blue Ribbon and I actually had a joke made by Ronin go over my head. Is there a shame smiley?

[LOL] Reminds me of the conversation in The Kingdom between the "nerd" (I guess) and Chris Cooper about PBR...

It's just what Adolf Coors wanted to call it. But they went back to the name because they wanted to hammer out the idea that they haven't changed it since it was first brewed in the 1880's.

A friend once told me that "PBR is the greatest beer in the world because every can is a new adventure. No two ever taste the same." That's all I can think of any time someone hands me a PBR.

[rockhound]

The company says old-time miners served the beer at banquets during their precious time off, referring to it as the banquet beer.

and since the recipe has been around for 135 years someone must like the taste.

[wctriumph]

I was 4 years old when I tried my first beer. It was at a party in a park in Culver City, CA for a friend of my dad and he had brought Coors that he brought from Colorado for the party. This would be in 1959. I liked it. I have liked beer ever sense. Beer is good for you, have another. I guess, now that I think about it, that is why I have always wanted to come to CO. Ain't never goin' back. If someone offers me a Coors, I won't turn it down. (Just had a Laughing Lab Scottish Ale, good but weak for a Scottish)

[Shootersfab]

Our beer of choice at the shop for sure.... we cant afford to drink "high end" beers in our quantities [Beer] we would go broke in a week!!!!
