Cue millions of Farkers going on about how their favorite obscure beer is much better.

Face it, if I poured Bud Light into a bottle from your beloved local microbrewery and gave it to you, you'd be raving about the awesome flavor and aroma.

Stupid beer snobs. (Same goes for wine and cigar snobs.)

On the one hand, it's free beer. On the other hand, it's Bud, Natty Lite, Busch, King Cobra...

Anheuser-Busch brands

No, because I don't smoke. The last time I drank Rolling Rock it tasted like soda pop.

If you can't tell the difference between Busch pisswater and decent beer, you don't deserve to drink any of it.

You can't mistake Budweiser for St. Arnold's Christmas Ale or Winter Stout.

With that said, I love Budweiser just as much as I do St. Arnold's.

Pretty much every beer is good to me, because different moods give me a different taste for a different beer.

If I've been out sweating my ass off, working outside, I want a freakin Bud.

If it's cold outside, and I'm inside reading, I'm going to want a stout.

If there was ever a case for early retirement, this is it.

SchlingFo: You can't mistake Budweiser for St. Arnold's Christmas Ale or Winter Stout.

I'm not saying that you can mistake its taste for the taste of another beer, but if you presented Bud to someone and told them it was some new variety from a local microbrewery that they liked... I'm willing to bet that a very significant portion of people who consider themselves beer fans would be duped.

It's the "subject-expectancy effect."

Well said. Bud's for mowing the grass. Delirium Nocturnum is for eating steak.

elchip,

Oh, I agree completely with that.

I just didn't quite understand you :)

"beer"

First, Bud would not be considered much of a perk IMO but it would give me something to feed the masses at parties to keep them off my good stuff. Secondly, there is no way in hell I could ever mistake bud for anything put out by a craft brewer. Some of the trendy wannabe beer snobs maybe but anybody with even a rudimentary knowledge of beer and brewing should be able to tell the difference between a quality all malt brew and AB's corn water. That being said even Bud has it's place in the wonderful and diverse world of intoxicating beverages.

I am a Certified Beer Master from the Budweiser Beer School at Busch Gardens, so I'm getting a big kick out of these replies...

I am a non-certified master beer drinker from the school of West Virginia University & I get a kick out of people who use the words "Beer Master" & "Budweiser" in the same sentence.

You shouldn't settle for lousy quality just because something is free. A man wiser than me once said, "If you came upon a pile of dog shiat with a sign next to it reading 'FREE', would you pick it up and take it home?"

I drink beer and I get drunk.

No, American Pilsner-style beers are very distinctive and have a certain "sourness" to them, as well as very light body and little maltiness or hoppiness. They can be distinguished from a mile away by anyone who knows beer.

Sorry to bust your stereotype.

Busch pisswater

All beer is pisswater. Literally. The little yeasts eat sugar and then pee alcohol, and then you drink their pee.

/just sayin'

Michelob Light is not a bad beer. I don't care for regular Bud but somebody must or AB would be out of business.

Epsilon..Actually the US public did. The government is always doing crap to their constituents and the majority of the public are lap dogs drinking that shiat up!

Part of Anheuser Busch chairman August Busch III's retirement package is free beer pisswater

This is more expensive than the free cigs for life for retirees program that whatever Phillip Morris is calling itself these days offers.

Snobbery means we've learned our lesson: American mega-brewery beer is like sex in a canoe...

Thanks for summarizing the classic fark beer troll.

I drink pee?
I piss beer.

Begin the posting of hotlinked images from brewery sites!!

Its beer. Its taste is passable and it gets you drunk. Why the hate?

If you don't like the mass market brands I do, you're a snob!

I don't see why someone can't like snob beers AND Bud Light. Every once in a while I actually prefer the latter, usually with foods where the stronger flavor of the snob beers doesn't interact too well or covers up the taste of the food.

The harder you work physically & the hotter the day is outside, the better beer tastes.

\imho...

Anyone who knows beer can tell the difference between different styles of beer, and yes, American-style Pilsner IS considered a style, just like American-style Pale Ales can be differentiated from English Pale Ales, mostly because of the chocie of hops used. Even I can tell this stuff, and most craft beer drinkers can. Quality doesn't even necessarily come into it.

I'll take that bet any day. I'm reasonably sure I can tell the difference between Victory's Prima Pils and Bud/Miller/Coors any day of the week.

If drinking beer that appeals to me because it has rich flavor makes me a snob, then so be it.

Its good to (have been) the king.

you forget the AB makes michelob. their honey lager and amber bock are half-way decent.

Ex-Republican

There are lots of light craft brews too, like American filtered wheat ales, German Kolschs, other pilsners, not to mention European lagers like Stella Artois, etc. You might like Indian beers, like Kingfisher or Flying Horse as well - very crisp and light-bodied, and complement spicy food very well.

Good beer doesn't have to be heavy and bursting with flavor. These beers are all great on a hot day.

fark you all, i still have 30 minutes until i can go home and crack into a Refrigerator-cool can of milwakees best to refresh myself after a hard day's work.

/not kidding

elchip is so wrong. "Bad"weiser lacks the malt body and sophisticated aroma characteristics of microbrew. I will not drink a beer that lacks the oaky undertones and vanilla highlights that feature in my $9.00 per six pack McScottington's Bastard Angry Belgian Aledraughtweisen. Beer should be savored in small sips, and ideally, spat out so as not to taint your pallet. My snobby opinions mean that I'm better than you.

That should come in handy after retirement, seeing how he's going to be strapped for cash and all.

I'd be willing to take that challange.. In fact, up until last year I hated beer. Would only drink wine, or occasionally vodka. I didn't realize that I just hated the beers I'd tried up until then (Bud, Corona, Olde English, Dos Equis). I tried a Young's Double Chocolate Stout on a whim (not even a great beer, but worlds away from macro swill) and I've since tried countless different micro/craft beers that I really doubt I'd mistake a Budweiser for.
