Consumer Reports: Taste of Coors blows away other brews
According to Consumer Reports, it’s Colorado-based Coors – not Budweiser – that hails as the King of Beers.
“Coors regular topped Consumer Reports’ recent taste test of beers, blowing away nine brews including Budweiser and Bud Light,” said Consumer Reports.
Though none of the beers “scored a touchdown,” Consumer Reports said Coors came close with a rating of “very good.”
Also, coming in at $6.45 for a six-pack, Coors was deemed a Consumer Report’s Best Buy along with runners-up Name Tag, Big Flats and Miller High Life.
The complete beer ratings are available in the February issue of Consumer Reports.

Photos: Lowry Beer Garden
It’s a little shocking that it took this long for Denver to get its own, real-deal beer garden in the brand-new Lowry Beer Garden. Beer and being outdoors are like bread and butter around these parts. There are bars with garden-like drinking areas — the tree-filled back patio at My Brother’s Bar springs to mind — but the LBG does it in traditional German style. With a few modern twists, of course.

Photos: Colorado’s Best Tasting Rooms
Colorado is a leader in the proliferation of artisan distilleries — along with Washington, California and Oregon — because of our microbreweries, according to Bill Owens, president of the American Distilling Institute. Sampling hooch straight from the source — in a distillery’s tasting room — is a unique experience, regardless of whether it’s of the craft variety or mass-produced. Tasting rooms are often off the beaten path. The owners might explain the distilling process, give free samples and take guests on tours. Craft distilleries also tend to have philosophies that support community and sustainability.

Beer mash fattening cows, trimming costs in Colorado
Explosive growth in Colorado’s craft-brewing industry produces not only more beer, but more beer byproducts.
That means the hamburger you eat next week may come from a steer happily fed last week with brewing leftovers.
Using spent grains for livestock feed dates to the advent of beer. But with corn and other commodity prices sky high, feedyards increasingly are using brewing byproducts to help fatten cattle in preparation for slaughter.

How do you get men to spay, neuter their dogs? Try free beer, hot wings and Hooters girls
John Davidson reports from our Fetch blog:
Statistics show that men are notoriously reluctant to get their dogs fixed, despite the widely recognized benefits of the surgery.
Most men own male dogs and it seems guys are afraid that neutering them will take away Fido’s masculinity.
How do you overcome that?
