I read something once that called Blue Moon 'the most controversial beer in America' (http://blog.beeriety.com/2010/03/18/blue-moon-the-most-controversial-beer-in-america/) and maybe it is. I know, I know, Blue Moon has been largely responsible for getting people interested in craft beer, but much like it's compatriot AC Golden Brewing Company (which I wrote about here) Blue Moon Brewing & Sandlot Brewing Company (the Blue Moon Brewery at Coors Field) is in fact owned by MillerCoors (aka one of the, if not THE biggest brewer in the country). I guess that's why the Blue Moon Brewery is in Coors Field, right?!?!?
Really the only problem that I have with these beers is that they try so hard to keep themselves from being connected to the MillerCoors name, it kinda makes it seem like a 'wolf in sheep's clothing'.
That being said, from time to time I really do enjoy a Blue Moon with a slice of orange.
I have to admit that even I didn't know that Blue Moon made more than just their standard Belgian White (which is what I got today), but one of the cashiers at my favorite little home town liquor store knows all about my beeriosity (beer + curiosity) and mentioned that they were now carrying a few other of Blue Moon's brews. They also carry the Agave Nectar Ale, Farmhouse Red Ale and Rounder Belgian Style Pale. So in the interest of expanding my beerizons (beer horizons) I am planning on picking up another Blue Moon brew for my usual Friday evening boozestravaganza.
And because Blue Moon always makes me think of this song (yep, I grew up listening to oldies), here is a little tune.

Can't you tell by the way I cut an Orange that I used to be a bartender,
I never met someone who wasn't a bartender who cut fruit like that
(gotta cut it that way to put it on a glass)
