These are what they have used to de-yeast their products. Coors Porcelain (now CoorsTek) still makes precision ceramics for lab use and electronics.EJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12207409698208773836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-14616955254837170822014-05-17T07:14:52.423-07:002014-05-17T07:14:52.423-07:00And Coors, since 1959.And Coors, since 1959.THOMAS CIZAUSKAShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16485107199809830204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-83163032142190783042014-05-17T06:44:53.368-07:002014-05-17T06:44:53.368-07:00Coors is also unpasteurized, finely filtered but n...Coors is also unpasteurized, finely filtered but not heat-treated in anyway. I am informed by a former big-company brewmaster that while draft<br />mass market beer remained unpasteurized well into the 1900's, today he would be surprised that all of it - all that is except Coors and MGD - is not at least flash-pasteurized. Even some of that must be pasteurized, e.g. the canned Coors Banquet we get in Canada is made in the U.S. but tastes to me as if pasteurized, i.e., for export.<br /><br />Pasteurization seems unnecessary today given the well-understood need to serve beer as fresh as possible. Also, beer today, especially draft, is often shipped and kept cold until service. For years I have consumed unpasteurized draft beer on one coast made on the other end of the country and it is usually fine. Pasteurization is not good for beer IMO, I feel I can tell the tell-tale cooked flavour as subtle as it sometimes is. <br /><br />GaryGary Gillmannoreply@blogger.com
