Coors makes special brew, donates ethanol
OK, so this is after the fact, but still interesting none the less, and the best part? It comes with a video of a TV reporter tries 200 proof ethanol made at Coors brewery on air (warning, do NOT do this at home).
The MolsonCoors Brewery out of Golden, Colorado created a brand new limited edition New West Amber Ale made especially for the Democratic Convention being held in it’s rocky state.
From the process of brewing beer they also convert the yeast into ethanol that they donated to hybrid vehicles being driven at the convention by DNC staffers and others.
“This is drinkable and its 200 proof,” Rick Paine, the MolsonCoors co-products manager told reporter Mike Hooker. “And it tastes a bit like beer. There should be just a little hint of beer in there.”
