I drink High Life when I’m on my riding mower and the temperature is over 80 outside. When it’s still cold, it is good. Once it starts to warm up things go downhill FAST.
Coors Banquet is my go to macro. I almost always have a few bottles in my beer fridge. A friend offered me one a few years ago and I was going to pass on it but decided to give it a try and I'm glad I did as I liked it much more than I thought I would.
I agree that not knowing any of the beers provides the most objectivity and makes for a better blind tasting. Surprised at the results as I favor PBR over the other two but that’s why makes these fun! We all have different palates and preferences. Cheers!
I remember my first Coors beer. I was in Texas, and I got a six-pack of the Coors cans. Back then, the can was slim and had two punch tabs on the top. This was before Coors was bought by Miller/Molson. It was my favorite beer back then, and I think I need to try it again!
Coors Banquet is so delightfully refreshing and it’s great to see it glowing with praise over here. My favorite is the bottles with the twist-on lid for sure. Same as the regular 16oz. cans, but you can keep them fresh for longer and I just think they’re really cool.
Love these videos. Stumbled across the channel yesterday. The fact that you didn’t remove/alter this video after ranking your own beer the way you did tells us a lot about how genuine you are. I heard you mentioned in a different video these tests are important for improving your product. Kudos, you have a new fan/subscriber.
The Champagne of Beers is a guilty pleasure of mine. I generally go for much bolder/stronger/darker choices. Never cared for Coors, but might have to give Banquet a try next time it is offered on a hot sunny day.
I first had a Hamm's in 1973 when I was in the Army in Indiana. Liked it. I grew up in WNY, Genesee Country. Genny Cream was my favorite beer--first one in 1972--for a long time but now I don't like it.
this was great. a huge and very fair return on my investment of 5 minutes. i wouldn't dream of suing you guys over this content. little fire is truly the Tesla of macro beers
I drank PBR back in the day, but I must never have had Coors Banquet, because I switched about a decade ago and never went back. So good for a macro lager and the winner of every macro lager taste test I have watched on YT.
I'm a lifetime beer fan of many varieties and styles (including many of the Treehouse products I've been able to sample!) Back in my younger days I was something of a beer snob and was exclusively drinking the biggest flavored beers I could get my hands on. I started on malt bombs like browns, scotch ales, porters, and stouts; moved on to being more of a yeast guy with Hefes and everything Belgian; then my hop appreciation grew during the IPA boom with lots of Dogfish Head, Victory, and other big east coast staples. I definitely turned my nose up at domestic factory beer back then. I moved to Colorado in the 2000s and went to the Coors factory in Golden as a tourist activity. I had zero expectations of the tastings (Blue Moon was their "craft" beer at the time and I've never been a fan) and only went for the general interest in beer and seeing the spectacle of it being made on a grand scale. At the time, they gave out little tasters during the tour outside of the QC lab... That tiny 1oz of Banquet absolutely blew me away (it wasn't as good downstairs in the tasting room, but that was a different lesson). Totally opened my eyes that even traditional and large scale factory beer can be great. Not really a comment on the video, but the story always reminds me to try the beer, not the reputation.
I was a Bud man since 16 now I’m in my 50s and love High life when I was younger I couldn’t stand it but my taste has changed now I’m the old guy drinking Miller High life who da thunk 😂
Love this format. I also love when Nate has to guess which beer they are. Maybe after he ranks them, you can give him the names for him to match with the beer.
Love the sampling vids and was waiting on the macro non-light. Little fire threw it off - thinking you could do 4-5 if you know what they are but fewer when you dont..... shout out Ted's!!! I remember them in the old building they torn down 10 years ago before they built that one!
love this format and love listening to you explain what you are tasting. Ive been working on my tasting vocabulary and these definitely help. Happy New Year BTW
I've heard very good reviews of Coors Banquet Beer. CBN was similarly impressed. All good brewers still have to follow the business models they are handed. Yours has the most flexibility.
Couldn't agree more with the ranking. Coors banquet has definitely become my go-to beer. It's just perfect. But I do still get High Life/PBR's fairly regularly. All 3 are good beers. I'm definitely a PBR fan but I never realized how much more I love Coors Banquet when I had them side by side. Coors is just smooth and delicious from beginning to end.
What four would you roll? Harpoon, goose island, ? I don’t know if I could come up with 4 real nationwide IPA. Torpedo maybe but I don’t feel like that counts.
@@jcarry5214 Yeah IPA is so wide ranged that it would be hard to stick to one hop variety or pale/hazy color, but my thought is, pick 4 out of the bigger names: Goose Island, Sierra Nevada, New Belgium, Founders, Bells, Dogfish Head, etc.
@@kevinmorris6984 I forgot Dogfish is so big now, and New Belgium. Lagunitas was the one I was struggling to remember last night. I feel like you’d need to set limits like 1. Between 5.1 and 6.9 abv, 2. Yeast, water, hops, grain malt 3. Distributed in cans/glass AND kegs.
Same as usual. Longer, more forgiving and more carbon. Separately, can’t wait to check out the Tewksbury golf course! It’s a long drive from West Virginia.
Tried my first Coors banguet after seeing so many people speak so highly of it compared to other Macros. And I gotta say the hype is real, for the price. It’s damn near unbeatable. It’s become my daily driver beer
Love the video! My go-to beer has always been Miller High Life, but after watching your video, I'm quite curious about how Coors Banquet tastes. Will be picking up a sixer on my next beer run...
When I was in Jr Hugh drinking in the woods, PBR was a real treat. I used to love those little 7 oz Miller midget bottles. Beer wasn't bad but this was 30 years ago, probably real piss now.
I grew up starting out on those little 7oz “pony” millers also. Was so good. Loved the thin glass and how easy it was to get them really cold. Brings back thoughts of my early teens
What advise would you give to someone wanting to get into the brewery business? I LOVE sampling and tasting different beers, identifying flavors and aromas. I toured a local brewery and had an absolute blast, I've even brewed my own beer a few times at home. Aside from that I dont have any background or education in brewing. I just know one day I want to Brew Master, just unsure of where to start.
Being a Coors Heavy enjoyer in Ohio has been difficult for the past 10-12 years. Thankfully since Cobra Kai came out on Netflix it seems like Coors has been pushing shops to carry Banquet and it’s easy to get anywhere now
If you get some really fresh Banquet beer, it has an almost tropical fruit note to it. It’s delicious and a tremendous value if you’re drinking on a budget, or just want something more straightforward.
I love a malty beer, as in not dark heavy beer but a light but malty beer. Kiran Ichiban is the jewel of that category for me. I would LOVE to see a video that explores malt in beers that arent stouts/porters.
I need an interview video to explain the come-up. When you said you were co-founder of a brewery, and then showed the mass of that brewery...... Wow, for someone so young, I gotta know the story. mad props.
I love your blind taste tests! I started doing this last year when we got snowed in. It's interesting that we have used identical beers in our profile panels.
I haven’t had a PBR or a Coor’s in over 35 years. I drink High Life frequently as my “go to”, low price, everyday beer. I find it clean, just assertive enough and I love the extra small “champagne” bubbles.
I like the format! I’d like to see more of your beers with major competitors! That’s probably done all the time as you perfect your craft, and would be great to have a window on that level of realism .
These are easy to drink beers that all of us of a certain age and background all know and love. My friends and I in college, in the South, drank enough PBR, High Life, and Coors, back in the 90s, to turn a battleship around in. Great channel! Subbed.

Banquet is my go-to, has been for 45 years.
Coors Banquet is my favorite macro lager - glad to see it do well here.
I'm drinking a Coors Banquet as I watched the video and I'm proud like I brewed it myself
Coors Banquet rocks
I totally agree. Find a place that sells it on tap and its even better!
I like all these beers, but MHL is much cheaper in my area so I drink it most.
Same 🤌🏾
Love me The Banquet but the flavor profile of a PBR through a beer bong is exquisite.
Hahaha
PBR needs a couple feet of plastic hose to balance out the cheap metallic yuk
I never thought the co-founder of Tree House would be the person to make me want to drink a Coors Banquet, but here we are.
I love Banquet and Miller Lite as macro beers and it's hilarious to see him rate them the highest
Has always been my go to dive beer.
Banquet has to be in that same glass bottle though.
Coors banquet is one of the best of the domestic beers. That's actually my go to
I’m with you!
I tried Coors Banquet for the first time a couple weeks ago and was surprisingly impressed.
Banquet is the best of the 3 for sure! My favorite macro
Recently had a Banquet and definitely couldn’t believe how good it was.
Gotta be the stubby bottles
It’s underrated because the light one is mid
Taste like banana bread
I drink High Life when I’m on my riding mower and the temperature is over 80 outside. When it’s still cold, it is good. Once it starts to warm up things go downhill FAST.
Yeah like with any beer, I drink MHL regularly, it’s half the price of banquet in my area.
Immediately
Coors Banquet is my go to macro. I almost always have a few bottles in my beer fridge. A friend offered me one a few years ago and I was going to pass on it but decided to give it a try and I'm glad I did as I liked it much more than I thought I would.

Of course PBR should be first, its got a blue ribbon award right on the bottle!
The rights to PBR have been sold a few times and so it's been produced by different breweries over the years. It's not the same beer it once was.
Coors banquet has def become my go to when it’s time for macro lager. Curiously high life is my 2nd fav
Love this format/series. Keep them coming!
thanks Darwin!
I remember my first Coors beer. I was in Texas, and I got a six-pack of the Coors cans. Back then, the can was slim and had two punch tabs on the top. This was before Coors was bought by Miller/Molson. It was my favorite beer back then, and I think I need to try it again!
Dangit...the Coors secret is out now.
The Champagne of Beers! Yes!
And hasn’t suffered a price hike from inflation to badly, like other beers.
@@jimmystrickland1034Yep. Bought a 6 pack last night for $7.54! 😂
I work in Golden, CO and drive by the Coors brewery every day. It's my favorite macro and I've tried other ones, but it always hits all the bases
He is a master at his craft 100%
I really enjoy these videos brother
I stumbled on to Coors a long time ago. One of my favorites.
Coors banquet is a special beer. I drank it straight from the source at the brewery in Golden, Colorado and was blown away.
It's great on tap.
Had my first Coors when I was 16 with my dad in Colorado -road trip from the Midwest.
I actually like all these, High Life is my go to now...
This format is perfect. I enjoy watching unedited and truthful taste tests.
Coors Banquet is so delightfully refreshing and it’s great to see it glowing with praise over here. My favorite is the bottles with the twist-on lid for sure. Same as the regular 16oz. cans, but you can keep them fresh for longer and I just think they’re really cool.
Glad to hear the praise for High Life, I’ve since moved away but still drink High Life as a tribute to my time living in Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Love me some Coors Banquet, I find myself going back to it more than any other beer.
Miller High Life, Coors, Pabst, are all good, The Classics Never Die.........

Banquet is more watery tasting than MHL imo.
Love the format too! Waiting for the day that two of the same beers are used 😆
I.... am not! 🥲
Banquet is my favorite macro beer I love it on tap in Golden after a full day of hiking in the mountains.
I like the honesty in this series. I vote to keep these going
Yellow bellies are my favorite too. Such a classic American beer
My main three beers are yuengling lager, Coor’s banquet, and Miller high life.
That's pretty much what I've been drinking a lot nowadays, too! Definitely go to's for me! I'll have the occasional dark beer (Guinness) as well.
You should do a regional macro blind tasting. I am thinking here of beers like Narraganset, Yuengling Premium, Genesee Cream Ale, Hamm's, ect.
noted!
Genny Cream is good sh**.
I'm from Minnesota and Premium may be my least favorite beer of all time. Absolutely revolting.
I first had a Hamm's in 1973 when I was in the Army in Indiana. Liked it. I grew up in WNY, Genesee Country. Genny Cream was my favorite beer--first one in 1972--for a long time but now I don't like it.
@@coreywright684😂😂😂🤡
These tasting videos are super fun!
Glad you like them!
this was great. a huge and very fair return on my investment of 5 minutes. i wouldn't dream of suing you guys over this content. little fire is truly the Tesla of macro beers
Coor Banquet has been my recent go to for macro brew. It's great, and easy drinking, but still has good flavor. I also love the bottles.
Banquet is the nectar of the gods!
Dark glass start with pour into clear after opinion was more interesting to me. 👍👊🇺🇸🤘

Coors Banquet is such a great and underrated beer 🍺.
Best way to figure out what one likes and to push your palate for training and in the search for more inspiration! Good video!
Dude just respects beer as beer. Gotta love that.
Love the blind tastings. Happy New Year!
thank you - happy new year!
Coors Banquet has been my go to beer for years. High Life is my next choice. I think it's time I try some Tree House!
I was a Bud man since 16 now I’m in my 50s and love High life when I was younger I couldn’t stand it but my taste has changed now I’m the old guy drinking Miller High life who da thunk 😂

I was a life long Yuengling lager/premium and micro brewery guy.
Coors totally sold me.
Miller High life rocks
love this format and love listening to you explain what you are tasting. Ive been working on my tasting vocabulary and these definitely help. Happy New Year BTW
I used to be a High Life guy, but Coors Banquet is clearly the best macro-brew in the US.
Definitely a fan of this format. Fun videos!
Hi Nate. Treehouse vs. Trillium. The Rumble in Tewksbury.
Tree House >>> Trillium
Two best breweries in America! But I give the edge to Tree House.
It needs to be a Mexican standoff: Treehouse vs. Trillium vs. Bissell Bros.
Treehouse blows trillium out of the water

Agree that not knowing evens the playing field. Great content from a very knowledgeable source. Can’t wait to visit!!! 🍻
I love me some miller high life.
Big fan. Keep it up. I watched this before I watched the onslaught of callaway driver reviews that dropped at 8pm.
what's the new hotness?
Same as usual. Longer, more forgiving and more carbon.
Separately, can’t wait to check out the Tewksbury golf course! It’s a long drive from West Virginia.
This is good stuff and you're the right guy for the tasting. Please, keep them coming!
Fun! Love little fire🔥 It’s like sitting around a cozy campfire
I love all three of these and if I’m going for a Macro-Lager any of them I’m fine with!
Tried my first Coors banguet after seeing so many people speak so highly of it compared to other Macros. And I gotta say the hype is real, for the price. It’s damn near unbeatable. It’s become my daily driver beer

I think I'd go for the same order. I'd have liked to have seen the blue glasses come out again to see how that changes the judging.
good call, will bring them back!
The line is out the door at Ted's. Just got a fresh delivery of Coors Banquet 🤣
Coors Banquet has been my go to Sunday football beer for years! It's the best macro beer IMO.

We learn so much from these videos! Love that you picked the one that didn't fit right away.
definitely not remotely difficult in this case but it did really mess with my mindset
Excited for your Saratoga Springs location.
Being a Coors Heavy enjoyer in Ohio has been difficult for the past 10-12 years. Thankfully since Cobra Kai came out on Netflix it seems like Coors has been pushing shops to carry Banquet and it’s easy to get anywhere now
Banquet is double the price of MHL in my neck of the woods.
If you get some really fresh Banquet beer, it has an almost tropical fruit note to it. It’s delicious and a tremendous value if you’re drinking on a budget, or just want something more straightforward.
This format is great , and a lot of fun.Keep em coming

keep this rolling man, very cool.. you guys rock!!!
thanks!
awesome tasting notes, great video
Thank you kindly!
As a native of Milwaukee my favorite is High Life. I have a 6 pack in my fridge right now.
👍🏻
It’s super affordable premium beer. Thank the beer gods
I'd choose the High Life. That is a solid beer.
Been drinking Miller High Life for years, good to see it come in 2nd, at least that's a close 1st. 🍺
it's rock solid
PBR is rock solid also
Yelling at my screen, "It's little fire!!" haha - love these videos and hearing you analyze beers that are inherently difficult to analyze.
hard to overstate how much of a twist this was when I was thinking something completely different
Drink IPAs most of the time now, but nothing hits the spot like an ice cold Miller on a warm summer night.
right on!
I like Highlife for a good go to cheap $9.98 for a 12 pack can’t go wrong. and Miller Lite for a domestic choice if I was in a night life situation
Bandit and the Snowman were east bound and down with a truck load of Banquet. They did this taste test a long time ago.
I haven’t had a PBR or a Coor’s in over 35 years. I drink High Life frequently as my “go to”, low price, everyday beer. I find it clean, just assertive enough and I love the extra small “champagne” bubbles.
I thinks it is great. I’ve lived in Oxford mass since 2007 so it’s cool review in my backyard plus about macro beers. Love it.
thank you
Love this format!
Great video. This awesome to watch.
Thanks for watching! Hopefully there are others on the channel you will enjoy
I like the format! I’d like to see more of your beers with major competitors! That’s probably done all the time as you perfect your craft, and would be great to have a window on that level of realism .
This was fun!
These are easy to drink beers that all of us of a certain age and background all know and love. My friends and I in college, in the South, drank enough PBR, High Life, and Coors, back in the 90s, to turn a battleship around in. Great channel! Subbed.
thanks!
Coors Banquet! Love that beer!
I LOVE Little Fire - I think you nailed the right level of smoke so that you can still get the other flavors. Blind tasting is a good format!
I prefer Highlife out of all of these. But I live in the US where YOU can buy what you like.
"In terms of the hop aroma, I'm not getting a ton jumping out of the glass" lol, good one
