any coors beer fans may be a bit late now
my oldest son is out west to take some train photos but he is Colardo right now
he text us earlier about this in Montana
people are making beer runs
thanks to a derailed train
I would guess the locals have it cleaned up or most of it before being chased off LOL
Derailed train in Montana spills Coors Light and Blue Moon beer into river
No hazardous materials were released, according to authorities.

Coors Light? "No hazardous materials were released. . ."
Likewise for "No valuable materials. . ."😏
When I was in the Army (Ft. Knox) when I went on leave to Texas I'd bring a bunch of Coors back with me. Paid for my gas that way!

I remember back when any coors made it to Ohio it was a rare event. a coworker and a few of his buddies made the trip and brought me back a 6 pack that was around 1975 or so . ( RIP Joe I will always remember you )
I think back then they did not pasteurize it ? so it had to stay local
the movie smokey and the bandit hauling coors sure made a killing thought

I remember Coors hitting St.Louis, wooo was that a big deal. Remember too, St.Louis is home of Anheuser-Busch.

Frat Rats from the University of Missouri used (1960's) to make beer runs to Denver to fill the trunk with Coors for frat parties. Coors then was no better then than it is now, but It was not sold in Missouri, so being rare made seem it desirable. I have hauled Yuenling from Ohio to Matwor in Missouri and some for me in NM too.

Funny when we are told we cannot have something we find a way good or bad
Maybe just me but I doubt it
I do not like to be told I can't do anything
It Just makes it a challenge

Had a Kentucky friend that was a big Coors fan back then.
Left him a six-pack of "buffet sized" 3.2% Coors on his desk one day when I made a visit.
He "was not amused"😁

Coors is definitely better than Budweiser, especially recently.

I've eaten breakfast and lunch at Quinn's many times. Great food there and a beautiful stretch of the Clark Fork River.
Is it just me or has the incidence of derailments gone up dramatically in the last couple of months? Seems odd that there are so many all of a sudden.

Too bad it wasn't Bud Lite and it all got smashed.

All I can say is that finding the right bait from now on will be a real challenge!

I don't drink either so I have no basis for determining bad and worse among those.

Good old, at least we thought so at the time, Colorado Kool Aide. Way back in the late 70's it was a ritual to bring back some when we went, as we call it here - "Out West" - for our yearly hunting trips. I remember for a couple of years bringing home Coors in the godawful push top cans;
Thankfully they went to the pull tab cans and saved a lot of blood loss from using your thumb to push in those dang dots to open the cans. Whoever designed that system must have been a sadistic bastard! 😄 Bob

We used to tear that place apart on Friday and Saturday nights. Sometimes on Wednesday nights too if we were tough enough.

I had buddies in the airforce that were back and forth across country on a regular basis in the 70s. Lots of coors made the trip back to SJAFB

I'm afraid it's grown a little more refined than what it was back then, HPD. Heck, they've even got indoor toilets now and everything!

Yeah, all that between the highway and the river is new in the last 25 years or so.

Burt Reynolds did a movie in Savannah in 1973, Gator. He and his roomate/stunt man Hal Needham knew you couldn't buy Coors in Georgia. They took 25 cases of Coors to Savannah when they drove down from LA.
Every evening when the shooting was over, when they got back to the motel they noticed that the motel maid had stolen whatever Coors was left in the refrigerator that day. Maybe 2 cans, maybe a six pack. Hal grilled the maids, and they admitted the theft, and said they could get $15 for a six pack of Coors. A six pack of Bud cost $3 at that time.
When the filming ended, Hal began writing a movie script about smuggling an 18 wheeler of Coors back to Georgia, and in 1976 Hal and Burt made a movie.
