Muscatine

You triggered a memory!  Coors!  Yep it was a rarity around here and you couldn't buy it this far East.

Back in March of 1972, my buddies and I drove to the Colorado Rockies to ski (well some of us had to take lessons first of course).  We had a great time.  Went to Aspen and SnowMass.  No one was permanently injured, etc.  We loaded up the back seat and trunk of the vehicle my buddy and I were driving with Coors.  Brought it back to Muscatine with the vague idea of selling it and making a bundle.  We had a lot of it!

Well, when we got back the guys in "in our church group" convinced us to wait and all of us would decide what we would do with it.  Drink it or sell it?

By the time we decided (several weeks) it was all gone!

That was when I began to wonder why, if beer is so heavy, it can travel upward to your head so easily?

Hy-Vee carries Millstream which is very good and its made at the Amanas......we tried it many many years ago when Habenaros was still in buisiness downtown.....we tried alot of different ones down there that we had never heard of......it was a couple of years after that Hy Vee started carryig the Millstream brand................

I'll be sure to give the Millstream a try.  Have heard of it, but never tried it.  Hy-Vee's liquor department is excellent.  If they don't have it, they'll try and get it for you.

As  for the Coors memories, my favorite is a college dorm room party...maybe 1971.  A buddy of ours in the Air Force brought back a carload of banquet beer, and we had 25 people packed into a two person dorm room to get a taste. 

I had a thirst for Coors also but like the rest of you, could not get any.  When I took a coaching/teaching position in Alamogordo, New Mexico, the first thing I did was go to the local bar and asked for a Coors.  It made me feel special and I sure enjoyed the taste.
