Ironic that Coors is sold at the same price level as Bud and Miller though
innit? Personally I find the American version of Lowenbrau one of the
worst-tasting beers on Earth. It's Miller Lite with a different hop - an
ubercheap sleazy disgusting knockoff of a pretty good Bavarian. Pabst is
actually pretty drinkable as a next-to-last resort. It's also very low in
sodium for those watching their blood pressure and so forth. = )
