Pity, because Coors Extra Gold is a fairly decent domestic macro brew--and the brewery is non-union, which pisses off the Caesar Chavez crowd. O'well, FWIW, Pabst products carry no such labelling.

Bigotry Over a Beer Label
With the recent announcement that the Adolph Coors Brewing Co. will carry the "OU" symbol on its beer, Hans Schmidt, founder of the California-based German-American National Political Action Committee (GANPAC) took it upon himself to write a protest letter to Peter Coors, President of the company.
Schmidt, who was a member of the Hitler Youth and claims to have served in the Waffen-SS during World War II, has been a leading proponent of Holocaust "revisionism" in the United States for many years. Following along the lines of many other anti-Semites, Schmidt promotes the myth of "Jewish control" of banks, the media, and the government.
In his letter to Peter Coors, Schmidt asserted that "as someone of German descent you ought to be ashamed to acquiesce to this scheme. You must know that the Jews in the aggregate use a lot of the finances thus gathered to spy on non-Jews (ADL!), to terrorize others (JDL), to ruin other people's businesses (numerous Jewish organizations and individuals), and to promote their political power to the point where this Country has been subservient to the needs of another nation (Israel)."
Schmidt also repeated the usual false chaises regarding kosher symbols, including that "there usually are great costs and efforts connected with the kosher certification and that rabbis will make upwards of $450,000 from Coors." In a post-script Schmidt made the suggestion that Coors add the following symbols to its label: "a symbolic fish for Protestants," "a Christian Cross for Catholics," and "a Swastika for Nordics/Odinists."
Some extremists call for a boycott of foods and companies that succumb to the "kosher conspiracy." For example, in an April 25, 1990 newsletter published by the Populist Party, a far-right political group, chairperson Monica Rorhig states: "God knows we are taxed enough already without volunteering to tithe to a foreign country and a foreign philosophy. It's a kick to walk out of a grocery store knowing you have successfully evaded this illegal tax." Ms. Rorhig explains that through such means as this alleged tax, "we (as a nation) are being carefully herded closer and closer to International totalitarian tyranny." Pamphlets, in groups of 5-100, are offered through this newsletter for Populist Party members to circulate and spread the warning against this "unfair taxing."

Ridiculous, zhid labels on a German-originated and perfected beverage. There's a point where resisting kosher labels becomes pointless as there's no alternatives. Thankfully, beer isn't one of those products.
Dump Coors (not that I ever bought it anyway).

It ain't just Coors; Budweiser has already been wearing a yarmulke for years now.
I find it so funny how my local supermarket carries a large sign which reads [B]We Carry Kosher And Non-Kosher Foods[/B] ,yet virtually every product in the store is certified Chosen-friendly, with exceptions of most of the meat department and bakery (surprise).
Oy, vat myths that ve be in control of evything :caiphas: .

It's almost impossible to drink beer after having a good Sam Adams or other quality lager or ale.

Why is Sam Adams mentioned by so many as a "good beer" example?
