    That's a good question. Seems like they're diluting (har har) both brand names this way.

    And how does that MillerCoors vs. CoorsMiller discussion go at the conference table? One of these brands that has spent like a century building itself is going to have to come second in the name. Do they flip a coin? Is there some sort of monetary concession to Coors? Do they just agree that MillerCoors sounded way better?

    See American Airlines Phoenix and Miami.

    The real question is how this affects NASCAR? Will the brands go after different demographics?

    And the only problem with either is that you have to tie your penis in a knot in order to retain enough to keep a halfway decent buzz on.

    If you prefer to drink it slowly.

    Do not fuck with my High Life, Coors.

    It cracks me up how Pabst has somehow become the beer of choice for some, but Miller High Life is shit on. High Life is much better.

    PBR has some weird faux-trailer park cool where I am. All the bars in the arty section of town have it in cans, and most on tap. It's like the trucker cap of beer.

    Eh, let 'em merge. Just as long as neither one gets its hands on New Belgium.

    As for the stadiums, it stayed Coors Field when Coors and Molson merged, so I suspect it will stay that way.

    PBR... Was my uncle's beer of choice. After he died of cirrosis, I dont think I've had four cans in the 20 years since.

    What about Moors? Or Moops?

    Let me be the first and probably only one to say it: I love Coors Light. It's been my favorite since my second year of college. And I don't mind Miller Light. I'm a big fan of light beer. Of course, I like just about any beer but Guinness, Saranac, Molson XXX and various flavored brews.

    I'm assuming Miller got the better position because it's a larger company (second in sales compared to Coors at third). Or they could just call themselves The Beast.

    I believe some how Milwaukee's Best would try to get some money off of that.
