Tenth and Blake Beer Company Open for Biz

“…pick up a six-pack of Colorado Native, a brew with all Colorado ingredients…”

The Name: Tenth and Blake Beer Company.* [The company] felt it was important for the new company to be connected to its core mission…”makers and merchants of great beer.” Two key facilities where they brew great beer are the Leinenkugel’s Brewery on 10th Street in Milwaukee (Leine’s is still HQ’d in Chippewa Falls, WI) and the Blue Moon Brewing Company at Sandlot on Blake Street in Denver. It’s simple, it makes sense and it is what they are. These two breweries are primary sources of many of the new company’s brews, and in the future they’ll play an even greater role in the incubation of great new beers.

* A new and independent division of MillerCoors

The Beer (portfolio of brands): In addition to making great craft brews like Blue Moon, Leinenkugel’s and Colorado Native, Tenth and Blake Beer Company is also the merchant for some very fine imports, including Peroni Nastro Azzurro, Pilsner Urquell and Grolsch, classic European lagers.

Full list of the company’s brews as of today;

• Blue Moon
• Leinenkugel’s
• Pilsner Urquell
• Peroni
• Killian’s
• Henry Weinhard’s
• Grolsch
• Tyskie
• Lech
• Cristal
• Cusquena
• Aguila
• Batch 19
• Kasteel Cru
• Herman Joseph’s
• Winterfest
• Colorado Native
• Brewmaster’s Special
• Ski Brews
• Barmen
• Championship Amber Ale
• Right Field Red
• Slugger Stout
• Power Alley ESB

Note: The beer styles and brand positioning of George Killian’s Irish Red and Henry Weinhard’s are not technically classified as import and craft brands but these beers generally resonate with “craft” consumers and fit well with the portfolio.

This post is very confusing.

I like me a good brewery. I thought Coors brewed Blue Moon?

Coors does, this (and Sandlot) are shadow companies because Coors doesn't want to put their name on their decent beers.

Coors does not exist as a standalone beer company and hasn't for ~ 2 years, although the brand(s) persist. The joint-venture between Miller Brewing Company and Coors Brewing Company resulted in MillerCoors LLC after Fed approval and board acceptance & signature in 2008.

Further, the JV [or "MillerCoors"] is simply a legal corporate entity owned by two parent corporations, SABMiller plc and The Molsen Coors Brewing Company.

If I like Newcastle, which of these beer variants would you suggest I try?
