There is no justice anymore. Chipotle, one of my favorite non-fast-food fast-food restaurants (restaurants are in fact fast-food but masquerade as cuisine) is owned by McDonalds, ruining it for me in some sort of subtle way. And just today I find out that Blue Moon is created by … Coors.
I knew when my friend Simon taunted me with his knowledge of who is behind this craft beer that I occasionally enjoy, that it would be bad. Blue Moon has a nice citrus note and is mostly what I turn to on weeknights after one or two stronger beers. It is refreshing and no very high in alcohol and … well it reminded me of my college student days before I knew what good beer was. Well, apparently there was good reason for that, being it was manufactured by the same company as those ultra cheap kegs that graced many a house party attended by yours truly.
Now, I don’t like to think I am a snob. I can toss back gas station coffee, Starbucks, and craft-roasted coffee, because let’s face it; caffeine is beautiful in many forms. Some tastier than others but all okay in my eyes. I do not know if I am so egalitarian toward my beer. It remains to be seen.
But, really? Coors? Really?
