Makers of Coors and Miller piss water to combine to compete against Anheuser-Busch piss water.
Molson Coors, SABMiller Combine U.S. Ops
By LAUREN SHEPHERD – 4 hours ago

NEW YORK (AP) — The makers of Coors and Miller Lite plan to combine their U.S. brewing operations in an effort to compete better against industry leader Anheuser-Busch.

The joint venture announced Tuesday will be known as MillerCoors and will have responsibility for selling brands including Miller Lite, Miller Genuine Draft, Coors, Coors Light and Molson Canadian in the U.S.

Anheuser-Busch Cos. accounts for about half of the U.S. market with brands such as Budweiser, Michelob and Bud Light.

1. Hey now. Molson ICE is still one of the best beers made.
I'll take that over any Budbelcher swill, any day... I hope they don't screw up the recepie cause Coors is flat horse piss.

18. I might do!
I've tried Guiness (not bad but RICH... almost have to chew it!), bach beers (again not bad)... some other foreign beer which was suggested to me but which I forget the name of just now... but I can only manage to drink one of those. :(

I'll try the Stella and see what that's like. :)

9. I confess to buying Miller Lite because of budget issues
I consider it drinkable, at least...but no matter how much I crave the cheap stuff, I will never go to Budweiser or Coors, for that matter

13. Miller's piss water is FAR better than any of the Bud piss waters.
Coors? Might as well chug some St. Ides and then smash yourself over the head with the bottle. Same effect.

17. friends don't let friends drink domestic swill

I'll stick to the local micro brewed ales or Guinness. If you can see through it, it's not good beer.
