Strange Brew and pop culture

There's no denying that my life revolves around pop culture - even if I'd like to deny it sometimes. I blame it on growing up in the 80s; and cheesy-late-night movies on TBS and TNT.

So, I recently went to Coors Brewery on took the self-guided tour. The 'factory' portion of the tour reminded me of Strange Brew - this awful 80s movie about Canada and beer -- and "evil brewmasters." In my best Dr. Evil laugh here's the Coors Factory in Golden, CO:

More beer:

I remember having a sip of my mom's beer when I was little and thinking it was so awful that I would never like it. Even in high school when it started to become 'cool' to drink, I couldn't stoop so low to drink beer. I stuck with rum and other sweet stuff until I actually turned 21.

Then, I spent a semester in Washington, D.C. and had no money for food. Luckily, my roommates had money for beer; and we always scored free beer and appetizers at House/Senate functions sponsored by lobbyists. Since then, I've had a change of heart... luckily, I've become a bit more picky than the "Hi-Life" days...
Here's my favorites:

Even more beer:

Here's the "beer song" - a tribute to my undergrad. This is my favorite tradition at any UW sporting event (I know you other alumni can relate). Its a classic. I can't believe I actually found this on You Tube.
