This is kind of a funny one. Worth 5 minutes of your life if you are a Coug. A few observations:

First of all, ranking my beer of choice, Coors Light, on this list at all, let alone 1st, is complete BS. It says Coors Light tastes terrible. Actually, it has no taste, that's why I like it! Plus the blue mountains are cool. I typically drink 16 ouncers, but bought some 12oz'ers last week. Instead of the blue mountains, they have these blue stripes cascading horizontally down the can. I guess to make sure you are drinking it fast enough so they don't get warm? Pretty innovative IMHO.

Agree on Heineken. It is skunk beer.
Kirkland Light? There really is such a beer? I don't shop at Costco. Never have had a card.
PBR - no argument on this one. Ahhh the younger days....
Bud Light - ditto. I actually like Bud (also on the list). But Bud Light is also skunk beer.
Pacifico? I like Pacifico. And Sol. They both remind me of Coors Light. I'm known to also drink Corona, which is skunk beer. But not on this list.
Miller High Life - always thought the clear bottles were weird.
Keystone Premium? Is that regular Keystone? I used to drink a ton of Keystone Light, then realized A) Life is too short, and B) My hangovers went away when I upgraded to Coors Light.
National Bohemian. Is that the same as the Bohemian I used to drink when I was about 19? $4.12 for a case of 11oz bottles. Funny how that price has stuck in my mind. And it was skunky shit.
Schlitz. Barf.
Guiness. Sorry, I don't drink anything that looks like used motor oil. What does that look like coming back up?

Obvious Omissions - Old Milwaukee, Old English 800, Rainier, Olympia. Mickey's Wide Mouth's. There are others. I did sort of like animal beer. Schmidt? The brew that grew with the great Northwest?

 
I'm not much of a drinker, maybe every 6 weeks or so I'll get a good buzz.

I like Coors Banquet. To hell with that list, drink what you like and enjoy your life!
I like regular Coors too, just drink Light because it has less calories and I can drink more cuz of the lower alcohol content. Toured the Coors plant in Golden once. Cool.

I'd love to know how you stumble upon such dreck.

Covered pretty much every beer type or style to make sure to piss off any and everyone.

Apparently bland, flavorless pale ale for $8/ pint is what beer drinkers want, because that is about the only thing not on the list.

And as for your beloved coors light - it tastes like charcaol and burnt wheat and water. If you don't believe me - drink bud light for a month and then go back - it'll hit you in the mouth like a ton of bricks.
 
Oh, and I'll just add: it sounds like most of the sources he found were people who simply don't enjoy beer of any kind. Beer is supposed to be malty/ sweet with hops/bitter to balance it - everything else is fluff and the proportions of the former are what make the specific styles, along with the yeast used.

I suspect these are the same "wine drinkers" who only like dessert wine like muscato or riesling.
 
Fun topic. Only ones I’d agree with are pumpkin beers and Red Dog. Way off on several. Coors light with blue mountains is basically spring water with some alcohol in it. Nothing I’d rather be drinking fishing.

Guinness, Pacifico, blue moon…all great beers that have their place. I’ve had a lot of shitty sour beers, but huckleberry pucker brewed in Pullman is fantastic so I call BS on that one too.

Yeah I’d be willing to bet the authors haven’t tasted 80% of these.

I’ve never understood the obsession with sh!tty beers with high IBU values.

When it comes to beer, I’m just a boring a$$ Pilsner guy. I will be touring the Coors plant in Golden in three weeks so I should get plenty of it.
 
Coors Light - $28 per 36 pack at Costco. About the same price as pre Pandemic. Somehow it’s been inflation proof.

Anyone know if you can buy Ol Crimson Lager (the beer that’s helping fund WSU NIL) in any stores or is it just available in bars/pubs?
