Ah yes, Coors Light at 8:30 in the morning is a beautiful thing. That's the reason to play golf. Though when it's 90 degrees out, the beer gets warm pretty fast. Luckily, a cooler will keep the beer cooling. After a quick round, it was time for for lunch and the best beer in the world - Shiner Bock. Creamy and smooth, its dark color hides the fact that it can be drunk fast without much aftertaste - a lot like good American lagers, though not so watery. I couldn't recommend it more. And at Zeke's in Montrose, which has very delicious BBQ, the pints of it on tap are just $5. I liked it so much I only had one. Yeah, one.

After two Miller Chills it was time for something more, uh, substantial. So I braved the Valley heat and the packed crowd at Fox and Hounds. Some lovely company and chips made it bearable, as did three Newcastles. Cheap? $5 pints. Yes, I chugged the last of them beer-horns style - to the satisfaction of the crowd. Then it was time to go home. At home I had two standbys, Coors Light. Now, Coors Light is brewed by the devil or whatever. But it's low in calories and it is very inexpensive. I will drink a gallon of them at some point in the near future and report back on how that goes.
