You're right, Bill -

Blue Moon ain't bad uh-tall.              

But Green Jacket, brewed in Chama by Jeff Stebbens and Stephen flowers using #489's boiler during the 2010-2011 off-season, is even better - although I doubt that there's any still available unless Roger Wigwam stashed some along with my two gallons of dark olive green paint in Barbara's broom closet at The Hotel.    

And thanks for clarifying the CRRM's close relationship with Coors. I knew about the pipe under the highway that delivers the outflow from boiler washes and runoff from the parking lot, etc., directly to the brewery, but I was unaware of the reciprocal agreement authorizing the use of #346's tender as a brew kettle.
