He Choose....Poorly

Milliken - A sip of Coors apparently cost a loyal Bud man his job - and now he wants to tell his tale in court.
Ross Hopkins, 41, says he was fired as a supervisor at American Eagle Distributing Co. - a Budweiser distributor - after he was seen by the son-in- law of the company president with a bottle of Coors at a Greeley bar.
Hopkins says he doesn't even like Coors that much and took a pull only because it was offered to him during $1 beer night.

Took him two years to decide this? How many Coors did he have?
I believe it took this long to finally get to court. Story is he's looking for a settlement before actual proceedings begin.
What a JERK son-in-law!
Trying to get in good with dear old dad?
Close your eyes and you can't tell them apart. One is Clydesdale piss and the other from wild horses.
Your primary job is to be an ambassodor for your brand.
If you don't do your primary job, you get fired.
How hard is that to comprehend?
He Choose....Poorly
An accurate description. I've been buying Spaten Optimator lately. Dark color, pleasing aroma, smooth taste. I prefer the darker brews as they seem to be passed over by my American brew loving friends. I buy Dos Equis for them - there's always a beer left in the fridge for me.
Both Coor's and Bud are poor beers - with Coors probably at the bottom of the list.
"Your primary job is to be an ambassodor for your brand."
I agree 100 percent. And when the son-in-law of the boss is offering to buy you a beer, you better have one with him, and make it a Bud.
$1 beer night?
God, I wish we had that around here!
Though I don't disagree with your assessment of the flavor...it is possible to tell them apart. Budweiser tastes much closer to water than Coors. Except for Coors Light, which is water.
But the "silver bullet" won't slow ya down. Makes ya pee alot tho.
Give me a frothy pint of Guinness!
Heh heh.. if you think that's good it will kill you when I tell you about the special a certain bar runs here on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday Nights.
Lovingly called "Five dollar you hollar" by the college population here, for a $5 cover you get as much alchohol as you can drink, including beer and mixed drinks. Sometimes I am going to hate leaving this town :)
Have you noticed that Coors Light is the overwhelming choice of beer among women? Maybe because it doesn't taste like beer?
Have any idea what the water is like when it gets to St. Louis ?
darn close. I can still tell the diff. But good enough for me!
and poofers too!
I need a six pack of shiner bock before I can drink any of these wee wee beers.
If I'm north of you, it probably has a faint hint of Spaten or Guinness.
Mmmmmmm beer....

Ya get what ya pay for.
That would be like offering me liver and boiled brussel sprouts at half price.
My fave is Leinenkugel's.
Either that or 18 holes of golf. I've found that after the 18th hole, it doesn't matter what brand the first one is, you only need a beer. Period.
Now, the second beer, that's a different story.
I will give up a lot before I give up my beer. But I ahve good beer not the p!ss beer major brewers sell.
My dad could never understand why SNL never spoofed the Corrs commercials. When Pete Coors is talking about fresh, spring water, my dad always thought they should have had a big moose behind him peeing in the stream.
LOL. He's right!
ROFL!!!!!!!!! You're dad has the right idea!
When I lived in Boulder, no one drank Coors. Rolling Rock was very big though. My sister went to school there and lived on the same floor as one of the Coors kids. He used to always bring them new stuff to drink the company was working on. They also used to back up the 18 wheeler trucks to the stadium and sell beer out of them before the football games. Aaahhh, the good ole days.
That's why they have to be served cold ... otherwise they would be indistinguishable from equine urine.
I really enjoy Rolling Rock - but the only place I've ever been able to get it on draft has been in Pennsylvania. Another one from PA I really like is just about anything from Yeungling.
In general I drink Coors light or Miller High Life - I guess I'm not considered a "real" beer drinker :(
I like Milwaukee's Best - reminds me of the original Miller High Life.
Rumor has it that some Coors beer was sent to an independent lab for analysis. The report came back saying, "We regret to inform you that your horse has diabetes." (badaboom!)
Also, Coors is sometimes called "sex-in-a-canoe beer". Why? Because it's f***ing near water!(rimshot!)
Thanks, folks! I'll be in the lounge all this week. No applause, just throw money!
Three representatives from major beer companies walk into a bar. The bartender askes them what they will have to drink. The representative from Budweiser said "I'll have the king of beers, a Budweiser." The representative from Coors said "I'll taste the Rocky Mountains and have a Coors." The representative from Guinness said "I'll have a Coke." The bartender asked him "Aren't you going to be drinking beer?" He responds "If they aren't drinking beer, neither will I."
The beast!
I remember buying it for like $5 a case when it first hit the market. I moved up to Miller Genuine Draft.
I would think that the case could be made that if indeed he is going to be held accountable for what he percieved as "off" time, he was in fact on the clock as an agent of the company, and entitled to all kinds of back pay
I've never paid as low as $5 a case for it, but for the longest time it was a bout $7.50. When it's on sale now I can get it for less than $10.
We recently started buying Miller High Life Light which is far superior to Miller Lite and about $12 for a 30 pack.
Milwaukee's best. There was a bar in Des Moines that served this on "nickle pitcher" night. If if was really, really cold, I could get down one 12 oz glass.
Yeah, it was wicked cheap when it first came out. MGD is like $10 per 12. I think I'll give High Life Light a try. Never cared for Miller Lite.
That said, give me a bottle of this:
You mean warm liquid bread that makes your poop black and causes you to get fat ?
As you can tell, I am NOT a Guiness fan.
ROFL!!!!!!
I don't suppose they have Leinenkugel's out your way ??
