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. Check out First Drafts, The Denver Post’s beer blog, for more booze news.

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.
