Batch 19: The Pre-Prohibition Style Lager


Can you imaging life without beer?  Of course not, why the hell would you?  Thankfully for us, our interweb generation wasn’t around during Prohibition.  But what did beer taste like before 1920?  Funny you ask because Coors has just introduced Batch 19. It’s based on a 91-year-old, pre-Prohibition recipe (and named for the year 1919, before Prohibition began), delivers a “bold, hoppy flavor that is surprisingly well balanced.”

Now for the bad news.  Batch 19 is currently only available on draft in select speakeasy and saloon style bars in Chicago, San Fransisco, San Jose, Washington, D.C. and Milwaukee.  So if any of you luck bastards get to try it, let us know what you think.
