I'm not saying CO should have Belgian Style Trappiste Ales on every flight (though it would result in an undying oath of loyalty from myself). However, a decent selection of mass-market pseudo micro-brews would be nice (e.g., Pete's Wicked, Anchor Steam, Abita, even Sam Adams). Heck, St. Arnolds (Houston's micro-brew) would be great as well, though I doubt they have the capacity to stock all of CO's flights, having visited the brewery.

If it is some consolation, St. Arnolds is on tap in the IAH PC (Terminal C, at least).

a) FAs need better training. When asked "What types of beers do you have on board?" the answer is not "Bud Light and Miller Lite, and maybe I have some Coors Light." None of these is a beer. If asked about "light beers" by someone with a flawed sense of taste, these can be valid options.

I get that your comment was tongue-in-cheek (I think). It's a sad, sad fact that Americans love the poor excuse for beer that is mass produced here. These brewing giants tweak and adjust the "flavor" to (sadly) appeal to the majority of American drinkers. And you are correct, according to German purity laws, this is NOT really beer.
Bud Light - 110 calories per 12 ounces. Guinness - 126 calories per 12 ounces. This means you could drink 7 Guinnesses for every 8 Bud Lights if you're counting calories. D'oh. |
The Newark brewery is A-B's oldest outside St. Louis, but think that LA has a larger barrell capcity. Regardless, A-B also has a plant outside of Houston as well. Hence, the Houston brewed, ZeigenBock. Personally,
I don't think any airline can have enough volume of a craft beer to make it viable. I just wonder how many beers an aircraft sells in a day. They may have to work with the distributor constantly to rotate it. On planes now, I have to have hard liquor now, or just water. |

If I recall correctly, the PCs in IAH do have some sort of a regional beer. It's a ZweigenBock, or something like that. It is not a Shiner Bock but is pretty darn good and much better than the usual swill.

Oh really? Which one? Not E or B? I don't recall seeing it in C north.
Will get back to you on this one after I do some personal due diligence when I fly on Friday. BTB |

On planes now, I have to have hard liquor now, or just water. Some craft beer, of course, is crap. But most of it is better than whatever's put out by the huge factories. The best of it is outstanding. German brewers have shown you don't need to sacrifice quality with higher volumes. Sam Adams is certainly made in big enough volumes, as are quite a few others. Or a rotational basis of smaller breweries would be even more welcome. Northworst used to serve James Page in cans (alas, not the case any more; don't know whether this has to do with NW's penny-pinching ... they were the first to test charging $2/can of soda ... or whether that had to do with JP Craft Brands being acquired by Stevens Point Brewery). So options exist. Cheers, |

Ziegenbock is NOT a local. Its an Anheuser-Busch product. Its sold as "Amberbock" in the rest of the county, but given a "german-esque" name in Texas to market against Shiner Bock. Though an avowed capitalist, marketing sometimes makes me:mad: |
