For my everyday beer (when I'm not drinking craft beers), I drink Miller Lite.. 3.2 grams carbs, 96 calories.. tastes better than Bud Light.

Although, I'm getting sick of this 'Vortex bottle' 'coldness indicator' 'screw top' 'wide mouth' 'BL' 'mini stupid keg' 'change labels every year' bullshit that the marketing dumbasses at the major American beer companies come out with..

Here's an idea..

The people that drink your beer like your beer. They don't want you to fuck with it. So, don't fuck with it. You'll sometimes sell more; you'll sometimes sell less.. But if you continue to fuck with it, you lose customers.

The Miller Lite vortex bottle is embarassing.. Fire that marketing guy.

Bud may be crap, but damn, it is like drinking ambrosia from God compared to that crap Coors produces.

I'd rather have a PBR (or even Coors), but it's not bad. Especially if it's free.

Well, that's the thing... you go to a kegger and there is Bud on tap. I'm not going to be the one left parched because, "ohhhh, it's Budweiser, and it's a yucky beer."

I used to live near the Budweiser factory in Fairfield, CA. A local pizza joint would serve very fresh, very cold Bud on tap for like $1.68/glass that I would drink on occasion. It wasn't too bad as long as it was mucho cold.

Some people just don’t recognize the value of a free beer. While I not a big fan of the craft beers. I do drink my share of the imports. Nothing goes better with cheap pizza or wings and burgers than cold bud on draft. Here in Vegas, you can get a pitcher of bud and a large unlimited topping pizza at Binion's for $10

It's just that it's engrained in their brains that it's cool to not like it. The same type of people who think all fast food is the worst thing in the world and pop music sucks. It's cool to hate on it.
