This depends on where the consumer buys from. I can tell you that when I worked at a supermarket the beer vendors both received and stored their stock at room temperature, Coors most definitely included.

Maybe that's the way it is now. I was told that part of the reason for the limited distribution was the problem with keeping it refrigerated. If true, Golden probably just said to hell with it at some point.

This is how it was when I stocked shelves.... 13-14 years ago.

When Coors had limited distribution was 35 years ago.

I don't generally discuss politics or religion, but thought I'd add this: I heard on the radio this morning that New York City is considering banning restaurants from serving any sugary drinks over 16 oz.Now That's going too far.

And back to the original topic, all blue laws ever accomplished here in SC was to make bootleggers rich!

+1 You beat me to it. Next they will be telling us what we HAVE to eat, as well as what we can't eat.

Consider the ultimate Blue Law was prohibition in the early 20th century. So who pushed that on us? Extreme Right Wing and religious folks trying to make the population live according to their beliefs and you know what happened to that.

I grew up in NYC and the Blue laws said businesses could not operate on Sunday period (with few exceptions) once again some segment of the population trying to make others live their beliefs just in that case the almighty buck put an end to that but only when corporations decided to act.

Well, I hate to disagree with you Nelson, but now everyone is working for those corporations and they want you to work every second of every day. Seems there is no middle ground. It's a shame when both parents work, and for what? Things, possessions, money so you can buy more things. And in the mean time, who is raising the children? The TV and babysitters. Things weren't perfect before, but they are surely no better now.

I don't agree with anything that is either too far left or right. But when did we start legislating things that should be common sense?

When people stopped using common sense.

You could add to that because being stupid is now profitable, like spilling hot coffee on yourself and being rewarded in a lawsuit.
