Batch 19

[Niner]

"The Pre-Prohibition style lager". Made by Coors. Coors is usually weak as water and mild and tasteless. My wife drinks Coors light. I can't tell it from ice water. There is a label that turns blue when it is ice water cold. However....saw this in the grocery today. This is one of those botique kind of brews that all the breweries seem to be producing now days. It claims to have been brewed with strisselsplalt and Hersbrucker hops. Now I wouldn't know one hops from another if somebody showed me two handfuls and said which was which. Yet.... it tastes pretty good. Has a slight hop edge to the taste that makes it beer instead of ....Coors.

Oh....it says it is from a an old recipe. From the date in raised glass on the bottle neck the recipe must be from 1919.

Taking into account that it is Coors, has it got a strength And, is that a refund on the bottle that I see? I thought that went out with the Arc

Some states require buying the bottle back. Back in my youth beer and soft drinks used to come in returnable bottles and the bottles were washed and reused. There was a deposit to encourage people to bring the empty's back to the store. Beer always seemed to taste better in those kind of bottles. I think now days the glass bottles are just recycled by melting down or whatever they do to turn them into glass junk.

Where I live the bottle just goes into the trash.
