Lamb and mint sauce is what they eat in heaven.

Sounds nasty. I need to work on ensuring myself a place in Hades if all they serve in Paradise is lamb. I'll bet they have beer in Hell.

Beer and lashings of sodomy.

Budweiser I should think.

Oh yeah. Sitting in a bar in Texas, I ordered a Corona. The rest of the guys ordered Buds. Waitress came back with one bottle of Corona and three glasses of water. "Close enough" they said.
Corona is just as flavorless and nasty as Bud. Blech.

Check out the comparative alcohol contents.
Trust me friend if I'm in the US and I'm drinking beer, its either nearest microbrewery or a bar that sells Sam Adams. I've found that Denver is pretty difficult to get plastered in if you don't like Coors, which I don't.

That's because you don't live next door to Wales.
Don't you eat mainly beef DaButt?

Budweiser: 5%
Corona: 4.6%
Denver might be the best American beer city! There are dozens of great breweries and brewpubs. The mayor owns a brewery and the city is host to the annual Great American Beer Festival. There's even a place called The Cheeky Monk that only serves Belgian beers. You must be hanging out in the wrong part of the city.

I'm not going to pick a fight with you. But I don't have either to hand and a quick glance at a few websites shows there are variances.
As to Denver, it was a fleeting visit and I relied on the locals. It was pretty much confined to going to a Rockies game, who were at the time sponsored by Coors.
I'm not trying to argue, either. It's just that we tend to think of Corona as a wimpy beer that women drink. Not bad if you're mowing the lawn in the summer but I tend to reach for water instead.
The Wynkoop brew pub is practically across the street from Coors Field. It's owned by the mayor and has many tasty beers on tap. I also love the beers produced by the local Breckenridge, Great Divide, Avery, Oskar Blues and Upslope breweries. Denver is something of a beer mecca so hopefully you'll have better luck if you're ever in town again.

Will look out for it next time I'm that way.
Try to work out a visit while the Great American Beer Festival is running. 2200+ beers from just about every brewery in the country. I'm making it an annual tradition.
I'll have to say the Chicken
