The Problem with Batch 19

It is an adjunct lager. They upped the IBUs on it and dropped the corn bill, but there is corn in it.

 

Yes. Quick google search has an article (http://voices.washingtonpost.com/all-we-can-eat/beer/beer-batch-19s-in-town.html) with quotes from Keith Villa, their brewmaster confirming it.

 

I know one thing................. I liked it................... kinda?

 

I've only had a taster from a local bar, I thought it was okay but wasn't really in the mood for something that light...ended up going with a moose drool. Definitely better than the majority of AALs out there though.

 

I had it at a Buffalo Wild Wings and I gotta admit (reluctantly ) that I kinda liked it, too. Not something I'd go out of my way for, but if it were a choice between this or AB, I'd choose Batch 19.

 

I found I liked it as well. Definitely would mind haveing some of these if i were at an all macro bar. Your making me think I should grab another one to retry.

 

Tried it the other day, and if you blindfolded me, I wouldn't be able to categorize the beer. It wanted to offend no one and appeal to all which might be good, I was just missing some definable characteristics and oddly enough, couldn't put my finger on one.

I was thinking the same thing. I think I might have to throw a bottle into a make your own 6 pack.

 

yes, back when they were promoting it at a GABF. There's some humor in my post, you know. maybe I need more winkies.

 

It's colors light with a little more malt and hops. Sorry OP but I think you are way off!

 

Not the direction I thought this thread was headed...

 

I thought the problem was the price point, for a miller coors product it actually was good but not for the price. There's a ton of hoppy lager styles at that price point or cheaper that are better.

 

This is funny and ironic to me. The one time I had Batch 19 I was in So. Dak visiting family and the bar in the hotel I was staying had it (I had never heard of it before). (As an aside, I have plenty more to this story about how the bartender talked me into getting one, but I digress.) Anyways, I didn't think it was great but didn't hate it either.

Flash forward about a month, I'm back in SD for a funeral and staying at the same hotel. This time they had switched out the Batch 19 for Moose Drool. I got a Moose Drool and remember thinking to myself - "Batch 19 was better". Was not a fan of Moose Drool.

 

Good, you've located it. The next step is destroying it......

 

Fuck it. I'm drankin Bigfoot. I love Coors and all, but fuck it. I don't wanna hear bout no AALs right now.
