It's a nice thought all right. But the biggies aren't going anywhere. We'll just see more mergers, more "Blue Moons," and more buyouts (a la Creemore). That's not to say that craft beer won't continue to grab market shares from the biggies, but look around. It would take an ice age to kill off all of the Coors drinkers.

Funny, I think their advertising uses that theme

A nice thought, but seriously.

Okay, let's go cynical then. What the hay.

I hear ya. I live in the city with perhaps the greatest proportion of citizens who, upon being told by the guy with that ridiculous voice that labatt blue is 'the good stuff', believe it. All that has to happen is for craft beer to become the next objet du jour of urban snobbery (a la SUV's, stainless steel friggin everything, sushi, etc.). Then it will spread like wildfire. I mean, it's happening with blinds and vacuum cleaners for pete's sake. So good beer can't be far behind. Then again, 'America's Next Top Housekeeper' might not be either.

What's with all the Coors-haters??

IT TASTES COLD, MAN!!! DON'T YOU GET IT??

It. Tastes. Cold.

A billboard in Toronto told me. Billboards don't lie.

Lay off the Coors.

I shouldn't have said anything. I was out of line, and it is clear I am a fool.

I am an ignoramus and my silly comments show how much of classless act I am.

Please accept my apologies and trust I will never make such rash generalizations in the future again.

No flavour come remotely close to cold, and no sound is better than red.
