How many of you like some version of Budweiser? **POLL**

[meltdown75]

i like all versions *shrug*

ATOT is the home of nerdy internet beer snobbery, don't ever believe anything different. a nerd with beer knowledge is still a nerd.

well after reading the thread i am disappointed. the snobbery was weak in this one

 

[nakedfrog]

It's drinkable, but I won't ever pay a cent for one.
I will also not pay for Heineken, dunno why it's got such a reputation.

I will. Bud products are headache in a bottle for me, and it isn't the only brand that is. Some of us are selective about what beer we drink for other than epicurean reasons. Actual issue, psychosomatic, whatever it is, some beers invariably give a me a raging headache after just a couple, while many I can drink till I'm 3 sheets with no adverse affects whatsoever, asid e from all the urinating required. I'm not one to be easily hung over from drinking either.

Interesting. I can honestly say I have not had a Bud of any type in several years, so I'm not sure whether this happens to me or not. Maybe I need to do some testing...

Only someone who drinks Bud would think Heineken is a "premium" beer.

 

[holden j caufield]

budweiser is probably one of the better cheap beers. When albertson's has the stuff for sale it's like a 20 case for less than $10

 

[m1ldslide1]

I value my checkbook these days more than my beer flavor, so I've been drinking bud for the last few months. It's fine.

Nothing wrong with a fresh draft of fully leaded Bud. When it comes to cheap cans I have the fridge stocked with some Bud Select for a good "working beer" to crack open after doing some yard work or projects in the garage.

Hell on a hot summer day a High Life Light sounds better to me than the coffee stout home brew I have in fridge.

Beer snobs suck.

Like drinking beer is something to be snobish about. Now single malt Scotch is another story.

As for the poll, yes I like Budweiser, Bud Light, Budweiser Select.

Blue velvet?

Has absolutely nothing to do with the American brand.

Have a friend here in STL that works for AB and brings home that stuff quite often. I fucking love it.

 

[AntiFreze]

I might have tried a sip a=of a budweiser beer... when I was 17?

I drink micro brews, because beer should be based on hops, malt, barley... not just corn. The new Budweiser commercials that I hear on NPR crack me up. I actually burst out laughing when they talked about the "aroma" "tasting room" "brew masters"....

I'll take Alesmith, 3 Floyds, Bell's, Stone, Rogue, 4 Peaks, Dogfish head, Flying Dog, Bear Republic, etc... You can keep your dog piss that you people pretend to call beer

[iamwiz82]

I think it would be hard to say you hate all the AB brands, from Bed Ice to Kirin to Tiger (which is an excellent beer, btw):

There is no such thing as bad beer. There is a time and place for every beer on the market.

And if a girl cares about what your breath smells like after a beer then she's not drunk enough to matter to you. Move on, son.

beer pong? dont play it anymore, but when I did we used Upland Wheat. Watching a football game... I'll take a hoegaarden.

Name a situation, ill I'll show you where I would drink a micro brew. If I go to a place that just has buweiser and budlight, I drink water. Why would I want to drink something that tastes awful?

 

[djheater]

I brew my own, I currently have Five gallons of a Belgian Trappist Ale and a Mild Ale that I hopped up on tap in my garage.

That being said Bud's fine, as are all the macros actually. The truth is that beer is an amazingly uncomplicated product and the large companies have discovered that messing with it just makes it worse.

Beer is good, and Bud deserves its place next to the more exotic, richer micros and homebrews. People like it for a reason.

When hobbyists or afficionados start forming in-groups they ultimately make the object of thier interest inaccessible to others. Homebrewers generally suffer from this less than most other hobbies thankfully.

Sounds like you need an IV drip so you can just bypass the olfactory aspect of drinking beer.

I don't remember delegating to you the right to speak for me on this issue, but I must have somewhere along the line. If I was still allowed to have an opinion, it would be: There's no time or place for watered-down imitation swill.

You die. You die a fire. You die a slow death in a fire. You die, with tremendous pain, slowly, in a fire. What the hell is wrong with you? Get your head out of your ass. Save the hefe, the wheat, the imports and micros for times that you can enjoy it. Cherrish the good beer, don't slam it back.

I'm so mad right now at this guys, you have no idea.

 

[cherrytwist]

I drink Grolsch which is now *solely imported* by AB, so, sorta.

You didn't delegate. I took the right. PM me your address so I can come kick your ass.

You dont understand. Good beer is amazing. Half my paycheck, some weeks literally, goes to good beers at great bars in nice locations on the water and downtown where I live. Its my most comforting and relaxing experience to watch a sunset behind a skyline with a glass of Old Engine Oil or Okocim Fire and talk with three friends I've had since I couldn't wipe my own ass. If you aren't into drinking Bud Light or other beers that go down fast thats fine, but I dont want to hear that in its place you pour Duvel into a plastic cup and chug it when a plastic ball lands in it.

??? wtf is wrong with you? seriously....

Whenever I drink a quality beer I enjoy it. At a diamondsback game on Monday I thoroughly enjoyed my bomber of fat tire.... Should I have tried to choke down a bud light? I drink what tastes good, because I want to have what tastes good. How it that flawed logic at all?

I never slam beer, I may drink some faster than others. I guess your taking the beer pong comment to strongly. That was in college, I'm not in college anymore. I would much rather have an intelligent conversation and a good smoked porter than be spilling beer all of the place laughing like an idiot.
To each their own I guess.

If all I want to do is get hammered, I'll drink cheap whiskey or vodka.
I rarely drink beer to get drunk.

see thats the thing, I dont "slam" a beer anymore. used to do that in college - beer pong, keg stands, funnels, etc. Now, whenever I drink beer, it is to enjoy it. Yes, even while watching the superbowl with my friends. As such, I have no need to drink "chuggable" beers.
