Beer and Montana

Who doesn't love a frosty beverage after a long day?

Montanans love their beer. It doesn't matter if you prefer craft, domestic, or imported beer because you can find them all in Big Sky Country.

Breweries, bars, and restaurants all serve high-quality beer, whether on draft, in cans, or in bottles. Beer is affordable, delicious, and readily available. Additionally, it's easy to carry or pack when traveling.

Beer comes in many forms and flavors. Some prefer a light beer, and others prefer something with a little kick.

Either way, you can find your perfect beer in Montana.

Most folks will go to a grocery store or gas station to pick up beer for a party or to throw in the fridge.

The only problem with six or twelve-packs is that you can run out of beer fast at a party. The other solution is a full-sized or pony keg. The downside is that hauling around a keg can be annoying and stressful.

That's why I am asking Coors to bring back this genius 80s idea.

Coors Beer Balls

These would be perfect for today.

Coors came up with a wild idea in the 80s. What if you wanted a lot of beer but didn't want to deal with a keg? That's where the beer balls came into play.

These glass orbs hold over five gallons of beer, could be tapped with a keg, and were easy to carry around.

The Coors Party Ball was a smash hit on college campuses, at small parties, or for an outdoor activity.

One unique part of the party balls was that they were refillable, so you didn't have to buy new ones.

Why should they bring this back? Today's culture would love to have a giant orb of beer for any occasion.

Think about having one of these party balls while floating in the Gallatin River. Everyone would envy you, and the cleanup would be easy.

Coors needs to bring the party balls back. It would be a summer hit with many Montanans.

LOOK: Best Beers From Every State

To find the best beer in each state and Washington D.C., Stacker analyzed January 2020 data from BeerAdvocate, a website that gathers user scores for beer in real-time. BeerAdvocate makes its determinations by compiling consumer ratings for all 50 states and Washington D.C. and applying a weighted rank to each. The weighted rank pulls the beer toward the list's average based on the number of ratings it has and aims to allow lesser-known beers to increase in rank. Only beers with at least 10 rankings to be considered; we took it a step further to only include beers with at least 100 user rankings in our gallery. Keep reading to find out what the best beer is in each of the 50 states and Washington D.C.
