Asked because Coors Light Champions Ice will be available in Denver this week. It is brewed with shavings from the rink at Ball Arena, home of the Stanley Cup winning Colorado Avalanche.

“Brewers blended the ice into a batch of Coors Light, and the company maintains that it is sanitary to drink, stating that its brewers ‘filtered the ice during the brewing process using reverse osmosis membrane ultrafiltration technology.’ (Here’s hoping they got samples before one fan spread his friend’s ashes on the ice.)”

Don’t forget which of these two styles, pilsner and IPA, is older. And which is more popular.

Inspired by this from Ron Pattinson.

“The world has moved on. Beer styles come and go. And almost never return. I’ll just cherish the memories of a time that’s gone forever. Like a Porter drinker in the 1940s.

“The same fate, incidentally, awaits Pilsner and IPA. All styles have their day.”
