Is it wrong that I like...

I dont enjoy the taste of Bud, but when I went to St Louis I sure as hell toured their brewery.

For the same reason i dont like most ales - too strong taste, and not enough bubbles.

Here in the UK they like to think of themselves as a beer mecca, but the reality is that you go to the supermarket and they have a ton of unknown microbrands (that will vanish in a year or two) that make beers that are too badly balanced in flavour to even be classed as beer.
Ale is just nasty. Warm, flat beer that overcompensates by adding too much cereals to the mix. It's just a badly smelling brown alcoholic soup, that's what it is.

Beer neeeds to be refreshing, crisp, palate-cleansing, with a hint of dry bitter taste and a slightly hoppy, heady foam. if it's not, i'd rather drink water.

Haha, I like ales, and don't like most lagers because they haven't got enough flavor to justify drinking them. I rarely drink beer with meals, usually water, I drink beer when I want to drink beer.

Not at all and I am prepared to get my ass kicked.
I prefer Bud Light, that is my go to beer. I really haven’t found a craft beer or high end beer that I enjoy.
I like the blandness of bud light for some unknown reason.

It's not beer. It is a beverage with alcohol made with rice and corn syrup, stuff that is never made us make beer.

I've never been to the brewery, but people have reported that the tastes offered during the tour are far better than what they put in their cans.

I went a long time ago, (before they got bought out)
They had like a dozen or so things on tap.
Sure they had regular bud draft, but they also had other products from their inventory.

Most of them were ok/decent, but, nothing amazing.
I think at least with Lagers, getting them fresh/new makes a big difference. If its been sitting for a couple of months, lagers are not gonna taste the same.

I'll have a regular Bud every once in awhile. I don't mind the taste. I used to drink a lot of bud light, but for the last year I've been drinking Modelo. Prob won't switch back to BL. I don't mind craft brews, I really like IPAs, but they're not my go to when I'm in for a long night of drinking.

Drink it if you want, I'd rather have that than more people jumping on the craft beer bandwagon making it harder for me to find certain beers.

For the past decade I was the "fauncy" beer guy and I'd get teased with some of the stuff I bought over.
I developed pretty expensive taste with beer (except IPA's....PHOOOK IPA's with yo mommas mangly cock).

Friend of mine is a die hard "Bud in a can" guy.
This video sums him up.

After not having Bud for 20 years, with 10 years of that drinking all sorts of exotic brews and having it over his house last year.
It's fine.
Would I buy it? No
Would have some if offered? Sure. It's ok.
I'd take a Budweisers over 99% of the "Hey bro, try this IPA. It's fantastic. It really brings out the flavor of quinoa ....." shit the 20 something crowd seems to love.

damn you guys, you made me want to get beer now.

HOWEVER, I should point out that from my love of Coke I have now spawned diabetes.

Ohh, Shorty. 🙁

I feel like I'm teetering on the edge of Diabeetus too. I don't drink so much soda, but energy drinks (mostly zero/little sugar), but I used to drink powered tea with lemon that had sugars added to it, pretty-much constantly. I'm also up to 420 lbs. 🙁

Wait, is that a problem? There is a solution in hand... well actually I set mind down to type this..

Why does cheap beer taste better then craft beers?

Mayne, i can only twist my head sideway so far.

Craft beer is a generic term for "we don't know how to make beer" that far too many startups hide behind and sell you garbage. There should be a law to differentiate between Craft Beer and Actually Good Craft Beer.
Actually Good Craft Beer tastes better than mass-market beer - no question.

TBF, he did use crack back in the day, so maybe his beer flavor processor got burned out.

...Budweiser?

Lots of beer fans look down on it, but I genuinely enjoy it. It's refreshing, I like the taste, and it's nice to relax with a cold can and a video game at the end of a long week.

Bud Light can get in the sea, though

Well, so long as it's touching your taste buds and not mine - sure.

I prefer a locally brewed porter 'general stark'. I like Guinness - on tap, not in cans. Sam Adams is often what I pick up in cans - it's okay.
The British Beer Company has a restaurant nearby that has some good beers on tap. One 'porter' was so heavy I felt like I had two meals.
After that, I think I finally understood how payment in mead actually made sense - the calories must have been sky high!
