Adolph, looking all festive

Adolph Coors that is.   :eek:

Even bad beer can look jolly. Nice shot.

Mike,

That Santa cap will keep Adolph warm.  A side Coors' story.

I bought some very light weight, fine walled, ceramic cups without handles in a garage sale many years ago. Almost at the top of the outside lip, on its side, is printed in blue.

                              COORS
                                USA
                                  4

My late friend Dick Walsh knew right away what the function of this "cup" was and its connection with the same Coors that brewed beer. Dick told me the first product Coors made was ceramic filters and the "cup" was used as a laboratory utensil.

If there is an interest, I'll add a photo of it. It's so light it must be a type of porcelain.
