Been seeing this advertised like mad lately.
Am I the only one that thinks there is something very unattractive about the brand? Not sure if it is the name or the horrible label, but it does not make me want to run out and buy it. Why are we seeing a huge marketing push?

Because Coors wants you to buy it.

Havent had it since miller bought it. But they used to make a good IPA. Or I should say Full Sail brewed a good IPA for them.

Well that makes a hell of a lot of sense. Once they had bottles sitting on the table of the final "Gold Rush" show, I knew something fishy was up.
Personally I think they need better branding.

The labels do have a certain "brewed by Sarenac/Utica brewery exclusively for Trader Joe's" look to them. Didn't know they were made by a BMC company.

There's a good chance that if you're seeing or hearing ads for a beer it probably isn't worth shite.
I wish more people realized this...

The Private Reaerve is a pretty good.

I think Henry used to own some little crappy craft beer outfit. Luckily he laid off the LSD long enough to have a moment of clarity. Or perhaps it was a wicked flashback that spawned his awakening. Whatever it was it drove him to ditch the sandals and tie dyed rags a go search for some much needed corporate backing. With his company now safely in the hands of professionals he is able to kick back and enjoy the fruits of his labor. He has even taken up golf and routine showering.

100% agree. Their strategy seems ill conceived as its obviously not a micro for the micro lovers and the branding is horrible as far as mainstream consumers go.

Say I knew nothing about that beer, I would pass simply on the design of the label. Looks like something you'd see on a shitty import.
