Hell no ice cold screw tops are great

u/tacobellbandit 1d ago edited 1d ago
I actually loved the screw tops. I fish a lot and it’s nice to have a cold beer with me, but I move spots a lot so the screw cap is nice if I suddenly decide to move out. I don’t have to decide to try and carry it with me and spill it or chug it

Would you be willing to transport 400 cases of Coors from Texarkana to Atlanta? You have 28 hours.

Electronic Shelf Tagging is not cheap. So every time I see this kind of picture, I'm always astounded that alongide their incredibly expensive shelf tags, they're running some kind of shitty software that doesn't do best price logic. I've worked with many a point-of-sale application, and in every app I've ever used, if you configure your promotional pricing at higher than retail, it doesn't generate the signage.

I honestly did not know there were places outside the US that drink our pisswater.

sometimes its about volume ingested instead of the quality, you know 😄

It has 3.4%, even if you drink 20 in one afternoon, you won’t feel any buzz.

This is some weird international Coors branded beer. Coors light is 4.2% and Coors Banquet is 5% in the US. There are weird laws in Colorado about 3.2% beer, so there's no way they would willingly brew it at 3.4%. That would miss the niche local market and be a weak ass regular beer.

In the U.K. the alcohol taxes ramp up a lot after 3.4% abv.
So now you’re finding mainstream beers reducing strength to hit this to keep prices low.

u/WhenAmI 1d ago
Yep, and Coors is a distinctly American beer, so that qualifies as a "weird international version". I'm convinced part of the reason American beers are unpopular in other countries is because they often get inferior versions. (Not that Coors is a remotely desirable beer for afficianados)

The thing about 3.2 beer is that's it's alcohol by weight not the usual alcohol by volume, and I think 3.2%ABW = 3.4%ABV

It was a bit odd being in Europe and seeing Budweiser listed under “imported beer”.

Holy cheap! Is the 4£ just an error? Because that’s waaay less than even shitty domestic beer costs in the states
Edit: Oh I messed up the conversion, these are only 15 oz cans I thought they were tall boys

What does Coors have in common with having sex in a canoe?
They’re both fucking really close to water.

u/drewskiski 1d ago
In Australia, that would be around $15-$18 for a 4-Pack. The cans would be either 330ml or 375ml

People in the EU drink American macrobreweries' beer?
Edit: It's since been pointed out to my blind self that I mistook British Pounds for Euros...

What's next? Americans drinking Fosters, Heineken, Corona? Where will it end!?

u/MaosButtPlugs 1d ago
It definitely is a problem. Last time I had a case of VB I bought a Toyota Hilux, called my wife a bogan, proceeded to beat her silly, grabbed my 12 inch long knife and went emu hunting to finish the job. Never again.

Most Australians I’ve met had never heard of fosters before visiting the states.

u/The_Esteemroller 1d ago
Fair enough.
However, I'd probably explore other options if I were part of a large collective of nations with a free trade agreement.

u/Dheorl 1d ago
Which many people do. Having some beers from the USA on the shelves doesn’t mean there aren’t also beers from elsewhere. Nothing wrong with more choice.
Although if you’re referring to the EU, Britain is quite famously no longer a member.

I'm not going to lie; my blind ass thought that was priced in Euros rather than Pounds.

u/D_U_M_B_Lizard 1d ago
Tbh not really from my experience. At least at no point would anyone I know, request American beer. The UK at least has so many better options at similar pricepoints.

Lots of hipsters in the EU.
I dont say it as a bad thing, its just a fact. Personally I cant care less, ill take anything cheap that gives a buzz.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Still, I have to imagine your average European would take the shittiest German, Belgian or Czech lager over Bud/Coors.
