Bud though, I can't so I won't. Honestly, I'm not commenting on the beer. I don't really care for Bud anymore either. I love craft beers. I just can't afford to drink them all the time at $10-$12 per six pack. My cheap ass drinks PBR as a beach beer and Natty Ice for a buzz usually. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
The trend went towards "my beer is cooler because you've never heard of it". Budweiser is the antithesis of that. This is hardly true. There are some well known small to moderate size breweries that kick a lot of ass. Dogfish head is nationally known, and produces great stuff, not always my style, but many people really love their style. Karbach in Texas, great beers, well known statewide. Red Hook brewing, started in the NW, now has a location in NY, they are great as well, they concentrate on the more hoppy styles, but that is the PNW theme. Also Known fairly well. Great lakes, I haven't had any in years but, the last time I was in the North East I had their variety pack, and it was great. Shiner beers are getting national publicity, and I think everything they make is pretty damn good. Samuel Adams is by no means small time or obscure, but they put out some great beers. I enjoy their Oktoberfest, and their Boston lager is a great staple. The point I am getting at is America is moving away from the shitty beer mentality, and I don't think its about finding the most obscure beer. It is simply about beer that doesn't taste like piss. It is the rediscovery of the trade of brewing. |

Bud was the beer of choice when my friends and I were in high school.
As I have grown up since then and acquired a taste for beer... I prefer Molson Ice. I tried drinking a couple Budweiser's a while back... And it gave me a terrible headache. The only reason why I have that Budweiser Piss Tasting Beer in my fridge is to use it to steam my blue claw crabs. |

Budweiser is one of the best made "macro-brews" manufactured today. They use top notch ingredients in sophisticated factories and their employees are consummate pros. I get a kick out of beer snobs raving about Joe Bob's start-up brewery down the street and how it's so much better than mass produced beer.
If It's the style of beer you don't like, then I understand. But Budweiser is tier one beer. Michelob is one step better and is my preferred summertime "BBQ/cookout" drink. The reason that the hipsters don't like it is because that's probably what their dad drank. I used to be the same way and was all about the micro-brews when they first became popular. I remember a time when asking for the rarely found Sam Adams was basically announcing to everyone that you were a beer snob. As an older and wiser beer drinker, I realize now that some of the old stable beers our parents drank are actually pretty good. I still like good craft beers, but I'm no longer blinded by price snobbery. |

Quoted:
I get it ....it's swill made with rice for the masses and with all of the microbrews out there its not cool.....it has no flavor...its garbage....and all of the other hipster fucking comments....I don't give a shit I'm having a Bud! Well, for one, it isn't even an American company anymore. That doesnt really change the fact that they employ thousands of Americans. Understood. But for me the only allure to Bud was it used to be the classic American beer. Now it can no longer claim that title as THE American beer (it isn't American anymore). I never really though it was a good beer, but Bud heavy in cans was ok. Like others have said it gives me a bad headache and explosive shits the next day if I drink too much of it. I did like Bud select for a time, but learned it had the same affect on my system. Quite frankly I don't drink much anymore, only about once every 3 weeks or so and maybe only 2-3 in an evening but it isn't unusual for me to finish a six pack if I am in the mood. I've tried a lot of the microbrews, all of the domestics, and seem to keep gravitating back to Sam Adams. Not their Boston lager but their light beer (I think it really does have a good flavor to it, not as hoppy like their original), and some of their seasonal brews. My favorite is Sam Adam's Octoberfest, though it seems to taste a bit different every year and this year I don't like it as much as I did in years past. I also like a lot of their different beers like the Cherry Wheat. The beers they make I don't like are the IPAs, which is because I don't like any IPA (too hoppy). Anyway, the TL;DR version is Bud isn't a great beer, and has lost its "iconic American beer status". It now ranks no better than Coors, Miller, PBR, etc. |

My dad is a blue-collar guy (retired letter carrier) who acquired a taste for beer while stationed in Germany in 68-69. He always drank Budweiser when I was growing up except the rare times we went out to Cali to see my grand parents--and then he would drink some Coors (couldn't get it back east.) Since the explosion of all the micro brews, etc, my dad has completely shunned Bud now that he is surrounded by quality choices. His 'fridge beer' is Sam's. I do believe there is some of the snobbery going on where sometimes guys are just trying to find the most unique bottle of beer to have at the party. But I don't think there is a sea change going on just to drink something different than 'your father's beer'--especially when your father isn't drinking his beer anymore, either. |

Bud is cool until you get older and try real beer.
Port Jefferson Porter is smokey and delicious. Bailey's Cream Stout (uses Baileys liquor for the lactose) is amazing and goes down way too smooth. I can't even start listing the rest of the stuff. If you need a "standby" beer Sam Adams is about as low as I go 90% of the time. If you are drinking beer to get drunk you are doing it wrong. Especially with pissy beers like Bud (you pee more then you drink). |

There are a lot of great tasting beers out there, sooner or later you will find one that you like, or maybe wine is more your thing. Currently I've been drinking a lot of Fuller's London Pride & Fuller's ESB, both taste great.
