So many Coors drinkers in here. That just bums me out. You deserve better people.
Sunshine Wheat, Upslope Lager, Dry Dock Amber Ale, Breckenridge Agave Wheat... this is Colorado, we've got too good of beer to settle for macro.

So basically because they ferment it, it doesn't matter that the source was HCFS instead of sugar? No, not buying that.
That **** is expensive though. It's amazing don't get me wrong but if I'm slamming beers before a football game coors is the way to go.

There aren't any legitimate sources stating that Coors uses HFCS in their beer. They admittedly use corn as an adjunct, which is used in many beers. There are many forms of corn which don't include HFCS.
Far and away Oskar Blues best beer.
It's Yella Pils, BTW.
If they didn't use it, why wouldn't they just deny it?
And which is it - I thought in your last post you were saying it is okay because the HCFS ferments, but now you are saying there is no proof they use it?

Keystone Light. Cheap, don't mind abadoning them in a pinch, and more than happy to share.
Get out!

Both.
HFCS hysteria is ridiculous to begin with. Even if they added it to beer, it would be metabolized by the yeast and wouldn't exist in the finished product. There isn't a reason for them to add it. Coors Light isn't a product like cider that is often backsweetened post fermentation. The alcohol in Coors Light would be more detrimental to your health than any alleged HFCS.
Secondly, Coors did respond and listed the ingredients in Coors Light. http://www.ctvnews.ca/mobile/busine...ingredients-revealed-for-first-time-1.1866132
That blog food babe also says that beer has glycol in it. Glycol is used in breweries to chill fermenters and beer and does not end up in contact with the beer. Beer production is regulated by the TTB. All of the ingredients have to be approved. There is quite a bit of information as to what can and cannot be in a commercial beer.
I have no dog in the fight. I don't drink Coors Light because I think that it is a ****ty beer. There are a lot of people out there who put out information that is either half true or patently false because they are pushing an agenda.
Further research in to this topic proves their initial release was bull****. They don't use corn, they use a "liquid based corn adjunct that isn't HFCS". What the hell does that mean?
Yes, it is piss water. And highly processed piss water with bizarre additives that we don't understand at that.

This is the exact reason I have moved on from it.
Correct. No way glycol comes into contact with the beer. Everyone would quickly develop kidney failure if it did.

I prefer Rochefort 10.
More on topic, however: Oskar Blues Beerito is probably my favorite "session" beer at the moment. Packs a lot of flavor for a 4 percent beer.

Not to belabor the issue but the brewer in me feels inclined to explain what they are talking about. It's corn starch that has been converted to sugar by enzymatic activity. Grains store the energy for the seed in the form of starch. When the grain or kernel of corn is planted, the growing process starts by enzymes converting the starch into sugar that is usable by the plant. The mashing process in brewing mimics this process. Corn does not have a lot of diastatic power (the ability to convert starch to sugar) so it is typical cooked to soften the kernel and to gelatanize the starches, making them easier to convert. Enzymes are then added, either by mixing the gelatanize corn with barley malt that has enough diastatic power to convert the starches in the barley and corn into sugars, or on an industrial scale, they add the enzymes themselves which do all of the work. Their "liquid based corn adjunct" is most likely corn starch that has been converted to sugar and is in liquid form after collection.
Getting back into form at ODU games this year, and if I'm smart, rolling with Founders All Day IPA or Yeungling is the best move.
But, invariably I'm not smart an start throwing back something like Uinta Hop Nosh and then I'm glad I have the twins with me as designated drivers.

"Most likely" is where your argument breaks down. They are intentionally obfuscating the truth. Why?

Most likely is my opinion. Take off the tin foil hat. If you don't like their beer don't drink it but stop regurgitating false information.
You have yet to provide anything that disputes it, so I am not sure why you keep attempting to defend it.

So if I state that you like to toss Buffsurveyor's salad and you do not disprove it, it must be true? Good logic there.
this and at home. Call me superstitious but it's working so far.
Dude... I am not sure what else to tell you.
A well known (maybe not well regarded, but well known) food evangelist posts that they use HCFS. That's not me making something up for starters. So please figure out what point you want to argue - this would be the 3rd new tactic.
1) The first was that you say it doesn't matter if they do because it ferments.
2) Secondly, you then say they don't use it and they only use base ingredients (From their blog post).
3) When I call bull**** on that, discovering they use ""liquid based corn adjunct that isn't HFCS" (I still don't know what that is, and it proves they lied), you say "most likely" it is from corn starch, but you can't prove it.
So basically this is what we know:
1) They don't just use straight natural ingredients and they lied about it
2) It appears they may not use HCFS, but we don't know what liquid based corn adjunct is
3) You are now arguing your third new point (that I started this whole thing with something I made up) - and you are wrong about that, too
Why you have a hard on for defending a lying CPG company and don't want to do it with facts, I have no idea. In other words, stop making stuff up...
