Coors Light incident ?

Bill-e

Hi guys,
Just wondering if this is normal?
I spent a night on coors light recently. I drank a good 7 or 8 pints of them over the space of a night. That was Thursday, but it left me with a yuck taste in my mouth the next day. Went for another few beers in my local that night and everything tasted like cack! I went back onto my normal Hieneken and even that tasted rancid. Like the way orange juice tastes after you brush your teeth. I spent the best part of an hour on one of my beers.

Can anyone think of how this may have happened? Does coors do this to people?
One theory I have is that the bar I was drinking it in is known for having very long lines and I'd say I was the only person drinking pints of coors that night. Can Costic soda do this?

If you were drinking costic soda a bad taste would be the least of your worries

Lines are washed through very throughly after a wash. Its a representitive from the brewery who washes the lines, not the bar itself.

If theres little draw on the line then chances are the beer will be old, and rancid

A good tip is just not to drink coors.

I wouldn't drink p1ss like Coors light in the first place!

Good advice, rotten stuff altogether.

Your first error was drinking Coors Lite, I was tipped of to this by your cryptic but yet telling Thread title.
Later you went on to drink Heineken further cementing the crappy chemical attack on your body and thusly ruining 2 nights that could have been perfectly fine.
Don't drink ****e

Off thread slightly , is this the case for all line cleaning ?

I only ask because I thought lines had to be cleaned daily, or at least flushed through . Maybe thats only for proper beer ie ' real ale ' .

If this is the case there must be a hell of a lot of people working for Diageo !

Not in my pub experience. Once a week -- Saturday mornings -- and the management believed themselves to be especially fastidious.

It's out-sourced to a specialist quality control company. You may have seen their Guinness-branded vans around.

There's an irony in the way people talk about the relevant merits of draught Guinness -- good pints and bad pints -- yet off flavours caused by shoddy practices are far more likely to show up in lager than stout.

I only drank the Coors Light cause I'm trying to loose the belly...
In a way it was successful, in that I hardly drank for 2 days after it and couldn't eat after it.
I do like my odd pint of Ken(sorry) I guess I started on it many moons ago. It has always been good to me

Coors light is good if you want to lose the belly. I did a few months on it, if you are gonna be packing away ten beers a night its better for the gut if you have diet lagar.

Cleaning the lines EVERY week? :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

What pub is that?

I don't know much about pub maintenance etc. but I would have thought that the frequency of line cleaning should be based on the number of pints pulled through rather than a specific interval.

Surely some lines are more active than others and thus need cleaning more or less frequently?

On topic, I agree with the comments about Coors and Heineken but if you don't want to drink stout or over priced bottled beer, the options are limited in most pubs in Ireland....which is why I will be at home tonight cuddling a few bottles of Anchor Steam and Sam Adams.
