Batch 19 beer. Pre-Prohibition lager recipe

[OutHouse]

anybody try this yet? its made by coors and im seeing a lot of liquor stores starting to display the sign for it.

A broken pipe in our brewery basement led to an important discovery. An old brewery logbook, which had been lost for nearly a century, was unearthed. Unharmed, the forgotten archives contained detailed beer recipes that dated back to before Prohibition. When we realized what we had found, we knew these lost batches had to be brought back in some fashion. The rest, as they say, is history.

Just another uninteresting and forgettable lager. Sorry, nothing special about it.

you have tried it?

I kinda like it. But I am not into the hoppy IPA febreeze beer that liking it makes people "beer aficionados". I like simple, maltier, bitter beers. Like real ales.

It's highly rated on beer advocate and other sites, for a macro.

Try it, you might like it.

 

[vi edit]

Yeah, was a draft special at a bar. It's not terrible. Has a bit more malty body and flavor than a typical macro-brew lager. It's better than a coors light, but nothing I'd go out of my way to get unless it was on sale for cheap.

Made by Coors? No thanks.

i was lookin at this once,but it seems like a big brewerys failed attempt at copying a craft beer,i could be wrong.i dont know,ive been drinkin more of those premixed margeritas lately(joose and bud light lime a rita)then i have regular beer

Made by Coors? No thanks.

their summer brew is actually pretty good though

Yah I had seen it on the shelves so I got a 6 pack. It was alright and I'm far from a beer snob but just wasn't that great. Not bad but at that price range I would get something else.

 

[ElFenix]

saw it a year or so ago on tap at BW3, googled it, saw it was coors, passed it up as another cynical attempt by a macrobrewery at a craft beer.

The recipe story sounds like bullshit to me.

I agree with your review 100% but I like Shock Top and Blue Moon, so what do I know!

I agree.

I prefer lager. I will have to try this one.

Marketing horseshit. Just as bad as all the bottles of NDP whiskey sitting on shelves with a fancy label and a made up story even though most of them are the same juice out of Indiana.

Of course it is, it's marketing.

Well, it's Coors. Anyone could come here and extol anything vs Coors. Pabst, Schlitz, Ortliebs, an old shoe.

Pretty much this. Fun label/marketing but thats about it.

The industrial brewers are starting to get a bit scared of the craft breweries. Which is why they're releasing these faux craft beers.

For the longest time, beer in North America came in one variety: pale lager. Which is what gave American beer the reputation for being weak and watered down. Pale larger isn't a strong style, and lacks complex flavour, but it's easy drinking and was inexpensive. Thus it became a popular workman's beer, and that's what the industrial brewers gravitated to.

Beer had a brief renaissance in the 70s but started entering a new golden age in the later 2000s. Craft breweries opened up the doors to domestically produced international styles. Stronger lagers & Pilsners, bocks, wheat beer, India Pale Ale, hoppy ales, light ales, red ales, stouts. These styles are becoming more popular so there's a big rush by the big brewers to ramp up production. The fact that they try to hide them as craft brews though is insincere. Want people to buy it, sell it under your own brand and prove you have a good product. If you put the same old stuff in a fancier bottle, the beer snobs will sniff you out quickly.

This, 100%. If a place I'm at has strictly bud, bud light, coors light, mgd, miller lite, and batch 19, I'm taking the batch 19 every day.

That said, I don't remember the last time I went into a bar and that was the only options. So I think I've only ordered it once (to try it). Its decent, but nothing that exciting.

I think I might buy some just so I can spit it out and insult it.

Somehow beers before prohibition were better? Doubt it.

It seems like just marketing. All you have to do is release a new product and get everyone in America to try it once and you will make a fortune.

What a bullshit story.

It's made by Coors -> piss.

Every Sleeman's commercial is based on the fact they were still operational during prohibition. decent beer I suppose.
