When asked about potentially retiring, Peyton Manning responded that all he wanted was to go home and drink some Bud Light:
Peyton Manning wants Bud Light, Colorado craft brewery perks up
Come on, Peyton! There’s better beer in the Rockies!

Wise move: Bud Light is the official beer of the NFL, and they’ve been known to reward athletes for plugging the stuff -- remember Shane Battier’s free truck full of beer?
However, this was a bit of a faux pas in Denver. First of all: Denver! If you’re gonna go for nationally advertised macrobrew... Coors! Come on, Peyton! They named the damn baseball stadium after it! A taste as cold as the Rockies!
Second of all: Colorado is home to many a craft brew. The beer snob’s favorite brewery in the state reached out to Peyton:

(Although if he wants light beer, he probably won’t be down with milk stout.) I just think Left Hand missed out on the enormous football/beer crossover market by not making a TeBrew for a certain left-handed quarterback.
