IDBillzFan Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 It's great marketing, is what that is. They're creating a measuring stick for beer that never existed before, and making themselves the king of it. You may not remember Ricardo Montalban discussing the Cordoba with its 'rich Corinthian leather."

Johnny Coli Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 I don't like cold beer - or at least really cold beer - can't taste it... 246334[/snapback] That's the point. The colder the better as far as the distributors are concerned. The idiot consumer (raise your hand, you lush) buys into this crap because they market it with a pair of boobies (guilty as charged). How many of you drink this swill for the taste? Show of hands. I thought so. You drink to get loaded, by god. Taste be damned. I drink because it makes me forget that I'm a god-damned loser. I'm not proud. That's just the way it is. I don't drink Coors, I drink Carling Black Label. Not 'cause of the taste. I drink it because I'm not gonna let the Man tell me what to do.

Corp000085 Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 hey, i proudly drink milwakee's best ice when i want to get ripped... I could care less how bad that particular beer tastes. Can't taste it after 3 anyways... My point is, these cheap beers, coors included, aren't designed to be a "sit down and enjoy your beer" type of beer. They're a party beer (can't you tell by the twins?). In my case, for $4.50/12 pack, you can't go wrong. Same goes with coors. Think about that ad campaign... It's not designed for the 26-40 year old sophisticated beer drinker. It's designed for two 21 year old college student roommates who have just invited some girls from class over to their dorm room.

Nanker Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 I don't like cold beer - or at least really cold beer - can't taste it... 246334[/snapback] Exactly. The colder beer is, the less taste it has. That's why the Limeys drink theirs at "cellar temperature" which we think of as "warm beer." They know that beer has more taste at "cool" temperatures and becomes tasteless near freezing. Americans just want to get drunk and not be encumbered by the complexities of taste. We want more kick in the can. So when Coors says theirs is the "Coldest Tasting" beer in the world - they're probably right. What they're really saying is that it's the "Most Tasteless" beer in the world. That strikes me as being correct on a few levels. Tax and Titties, not included. See distributor for details.

Coors Light and Bud Light are both pisswater, and therefore the marketing needs to go overboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Tate Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 The best tasting beer in the whole world is the cold one you pop open during or after working up a sweat doing chores. I don't care what the label on the outside says, I'm not picky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
