Molson buys Creemore
A sad day indeed. Molson (now owned by Coors) has taken over my favourite microbrewery.
Creemore is the maker of Ontario's finest microbrew and a favourite beer of mine for as long as I can remember. I've been drinking their unique lager since the time it was only available on tap at select bars and pubs and I have remained a loyal customer over the years. Now that the evil empire has bought them out, I have to think twice about drinking it and that makes me mad! Sigh, how can Coors, the makers of the most insipid excuse for beer, the fizzy piss known as Coors Light and an evil Nazi conglomerate empire have the crafter of the finest golden hued brew in their clutches?. I don't like having a conflict of conscience when I buy my favourite beer and now I do! DAMMIT!!
What makes Creemore so good?
Using only 4 natural ingredients (Malted Barley, Hops, Creemore's own natural spring water and Yeast), the amber lager is made fresh weekly and shipped immediately. The results are spectacular. The lager goes down with a velvety smoothness and richness of flavour that is unmatched. The slightly dark amber colour erupts in full nutty fresh flavour on your palate.
There is nothing quite as good as a fresh pint of Creemore, chitchatting with some co-workers/friends and munching on some greasy goodness at my favourite pubs. (The Duke of Richmond being a personal fave)
What makes Coors so evil?
1) As previously mentioned, the insipid fizzy piss excuse for beer called Coors Light that seems to be a favourite among Asian youth. I have yet to figure out why its so popular, maybe its the phallic advertising ('silver bullet'), maybe the flavourless fizz "it doesn't taste like beer" appeals to the unsophisticated palate more accustomed to Slurpees and Coca-Cola, I don't know.
2) The Coors family has well documented connections to the ultra right wing, Christian fundamentalist groups, neo- Nazis and anti-environmental think tanks. They are definitely not the beer company for the socially conscious.
Coors supports anti-gay groups.
Coors pollutes and are against Greenpeace.
Joe Coors founded The Heritage Foundation, a right wing think tank.
So now I am left with a crisis of conscience. I already stopped drinking Molson Dry because of the Coors take-over. Now I have to give up my favourite beer too!?!?! sigh...
Alternatively, I could just continue to drink Creemore whilst simply counting it among my guilty pleasures. I wonder if that's a worthwhile compromise?

hopefully they won't fuck up a winning formula. i mean many companies have taken over ownership without alteration of quality control. l'oreal (know for not so great cosmetics) bought out kiehl's cosmetics and they're doing better than ever... seagram bought out universal music and now they're doing amazingly well... xoxo. - willariah -
