Another use for Coors
First Coast News put up this story regarding the generosity of Molson Coors donating the ethanol to fuel the DNC’s flex fuel cars.
While most ethanol comes from corn, Molson Coors’ ethanol is produced from waste beer.
The beer is lost during packaging or is considered substandard for public consumption.
Company representative Al Timothy says Coors is the country’s first major brewer to convert waste beer to ethanol.
So while the Democratic National Convention will be driving around on spent Coors I wonder what beers will be served over lunch and dinner? I’m sure other Denver brewers agree with me in thinking Coors is a waste beer.
Oh, wait…
“Lost during packaging. Substandard.”
Well good for them anyway. That is pretty cool that even a macro brewery can step up and deliver one for … oh who am I kidding? The cynic in me is screaming “Look at the publicity!”
Cheers!

Meh. If they are going to use the term “substandard” for what they are making into ethenol, shouldn’t that equate to 100% of their production? I had a Coors over the weekend, and even though I’d had three beers before it, it was still nasty stuff.

I was trying hard not to say that, though.
We used to get the silver bullet 30 packs for $10 in college. I’ve had enough of that.
