Can I join if I don't run? I can drink pretty good.

Yes, but we much prefer the non-running members to be female and good looking.

I wasn't aware that coors still existed?

Yes, it does and tastes like beer which is why I like it.  I don't like beer that doesn't taste like beer.  I don't like odd flavors.  I don't like the micro-breweries and their twists.  I guess I'm just simple.  My wife tells me that all the time.  I might be convinced to like other beers.  I do like Guinness but that's not 'beer' as I define it.

Can't wait to move to PA!  Not a very good selection of beers in OK!  Boulevard is the only one of those I've seen around here........and it was just their wheat beer.  I too appreciate the hops!

Moonshine......got some friends in them there mountains of Virginia?  ;D

Back in my younger days, my friend's dad was a scientist and had pure laboratory alcohol in one of those big brown glass jugs.  That was an experience!  Does that count as moonshine?

I'm in Tulsa and we have a few good stores with great selections. But Oklahoma has weird laws and we plain can't get things that don't come from the only 3 distribution places allowed by the state? At least that is how I heard it... Where are you?

fixed that for you Jim..... ;)
HMMMMM, last time I judged BEER at a brewing competition, there were 23 different "styles" of BEER, and if you add Mead, and cider's, which are still classed as "brewed" the list tops at 28 styles, with each style containing up to a dozen "sub-catagories".......(if added up total 80 subs)
Stout is BEER. Coors, is beer also, albeit one specific type, tailored to mass production, and consumer priced sales.....

Beer is beer.
Coors comes under style 1A-lite american lager......open your palate bro, 22 more styles left to sample, and 79 more sub catagories......... 8)
Just some BEER is actually made to a specific "parameter", which can be judged and defined as fitting it's style, and HISTORIC recipe.

I'm in SW OK around Lawton. And yes the weird laws keep it kinda limited.  There is good beer to be had, but just a limited selection.

Great thread! Looks like there are several IPA freaks here! I'm one for sure, here are a few of my 'easy to get' favourite ones in my area. (Victoria, BC)

Being on a budget, I have to choose wisely. JW Dundee's Honey Brown is the least expensive darker beer here. $5.99/6. They've been reintroducing some beers from the 60's lately using the original recipes, pilsners, not bad on a hot day after cutting the grass, but not for sipping.
