I'm betting they have a sanitation problem, actually. They may have a beer stone buildup in some of their equipment, which could cause issues with off-flavoring. They also don't use the best ingredients, I'm told.

Third Shift is a Coors product, out of CO. I think they're trying to be tricky with some new stuff. They also just put out that Batch 19 beer, which isn't TOO bad. But it's at a wrong price point to where there are better things on the shelf for the same amount.

Ordered a Batch 19 at No Frills thinking it'd be the same $2.25 as Shiner, Zeigen, Kilian's, etc. Nope. Cost me $4.50!

You will also start seeing a new Black Crown Lager from Budweiser on shelves this week, and a commercial during Super Bowl. It was the winner out of the Project 12 mixed pack they had been selling at stores.

"MillerCoors is planning a series of smaller batch beers that it will market and distribute in a way similar to that of the craft brewing industry. The first in this series is Coors Third Shift Amber Lager and it has already debuted in parts of Nevada, Texas, and California. The beer has been acknowledged at the 2012 World Beer Cup and it could signal a new direction for the large macrobrewer, normally associated with bland, undistinguished products.



Coors Third Shift Amber Lager has been described as a craft beer, but official word is that MillerCoors will not describe it this way. Instead, MillerCoors will promote the beer as an “invitation” beer, which, according to sources, is supposed to mean a warm- up to a craft beer; a product that is easier- drinking and priced lower than most craft beer products, making it easier to afford.



Craft beer lovers have had little to celebrate from MillerCoors, either before or after the merger of the two beer- making giants. Coors Winterfest was a good craft beer product and one of only a handful of products from either company to earn a stamp of approval from the craft beer crowd. This new beer, Coors Third Shift Amber Lager, could be the beginning of something worthwhile. It is a longshot, but we will keep our fingers crossed and hope that MillerCoors develops its new series of beer in a more craft- oriented direction."
