Up until what i think was maybe the early 80s,Coors beer was only available west of the Mississippi.The way I remember they would only ship their product refrigerated,which must have been cost prohibitive for eastern distribution.Its available nation wide now and i always wonder what the big deal was.Coors and Coors Lite (Silver Bullet) have got to be the wateriest,blandest,most unimpressive brews available.I will say that their Coors Extra Gold is pretty decent and reasonably priced.
