I am wanting to know if they sell blue moon beer at the local grocery
stores? If so, what is the brand name to look for? The local grocery
stores in my area are called HEB, Kroger, and Randalls. Let me know.
Thanks to all.

"Blue Moon" *is* a brand of beer, best known for it's "Belgian Ale", but
they also have a number of seasonal styles. Brewed by MolsonCoors in
Canada and distributed in the US by MillerCoors. Whether or not your
supermarket carries the beer depends on your state's laws, your local
MillerCoors (or just Coors if they haven't merged yet) distributor and,
I guess, the grocery store. Check your phone book and give the local
Coors distributor a call and they could probably help you out with
finding the beer.

I think it's time that they brought back the Abbey Ale. I loved it and it
was very representative of the style.

I am pretty sure that the brand you are looking for is made me the
"Blue Moon Brewing Company" itself.
Blue Moon Brewing Company started brewing in 1995 in Denver, CO. Check
out the link to their site and maybe you can contact them to found out
where the nearest store is that they distribute blue moon beer to:
http://www.bluemoonbrewingcompany.com/
Hope this helps. Good luck on the beer quest.

"Pretty sure", huh? <g> I'll take that bet.

Since you're "ipaworldwide", I get a bottle of Victory HopDevil if I'm
right. Since we're on the subject- if correct, you get Blue Moon- say,
a tractor trailer load?

Now, if only there was *someway* that we could look this stuff up at
home- you know, if everybody had a computer at home and one could tap
into some sort of network where all the other computers were all somehow
linked together and we could access news, facts and other information
that might be collected or maybe just a site that could "search" all the
sites, newspapers, magazines, business journals, not just advertising
sites... ("If only", huh?)

But, onto other subjects- I'm "pretty sure" that Keebler cookies are
made by elves.

Alright, wow, I Guess I don't understand where you are going with this
debate. Check out that site link, it's pretty neat and lists all the
beers brewed by the Blue Moon Brewing Company - including the famous,
and yes as you said, the belgian white, but as it happens to be their
number one beer and is usually just referred to by drinkers as "Blue
Moon". I've done it, you've done, hey go have one right now, they are
delicious. Ps- with an orange is best.

Where who is going? All I see is a quote with no attribution. You're
kinda new to this Intarwebtoobs thingie, aintcha?

What is obvious, though, is that you might benefit from a big long drink
from the cup o' clue.

The "Blue Moon Brewing Company" is nothing more than a marketing front
set up originally by Coors to market a specialty line of Belgian-
inspired beers. By carefully avoiding actual use of the Coors name,
they can make it appear to be yet another "craft" brewery by using
mildly deceptive marketing.

Amazingly, there are some out there who are actually clueless enough to
fall for this mildly deceptive marketing, to the point where they don't
actually that "Blue Moon Brewing Company" is just a marketing front set
up by Coors. But hey, there's a site on teh Intartoobwebz that sez
there's all these beers brewed by the Blue Moon Brewing Company, so it
must be true, right? kthxbai.

Yeah, I am definitely new to this forum thing and you make an
excellent point, one which I did not know. Thank you for that history
and wow what a great site with not one reference to Coors except the
phone number is the Coors Helpline. I have been humbled before you oh
beer god. No but really thank you. So let me ask you this, not every
beer that is brewed has a "parent company" like Coors right? I mean
there are some local breweries that exist that actually brew and sell
under the same company name... I can tell you know what you are
talking about and appreciate/respect beer.

Right. There are well over a thousand breweries in the USA. The
majority of them don't have ABInBev or MillerCoors involvement.

Lots and lots of them, yep. Especially near major urban areas. It's
an upside-down world though; out of all the USA's breweries, fewer than
ten control more than 90% of sales. Throw in the imports' market share,
and you'll find that more than a thousand small, independent breweries
in the USA compete for something like 5% of the overall market.

I just wanted to say thank you for the information. You have been very
helpful in teaching me how the beer industry is run and marketed. I
look forward to more posts and discussions with you.

that is one opinion... it's crazy that there's so many different
tastes hu?

There are parts of the USA where the selection is dismal, and the likes
of Samuel Adams lager or Blue Moon represent the top of the heap.

That's why. Blue Moon also goes well with seafood.
