I've never liked Budweiser, ever. I was on a Coors Banquet kick for a long time.
Started drinking Lone Star, then went to Coors, then Shiner Bock (which I still like), and I'm only just now acquiring a taste for India Pale Ale. That Sam Adams is decent. Couldn't tell much difference between it and the more expensive Dogfish Head 60 minute IPA, it's all pretty hoppy. That Arrogant Bastard, though |

Quoted:
Here's a very cool graph from today's Wall Street Journal that says an awful lot about America's changing taste in alcohol. Americans now buy more craft beer than Budweiser. (Not Bud Light, mind you. Just Bud.) On the one hand, this chart is a reminder that craft brewing is still a niche—albeit a fast-growing one. According to the Brewers Association, craft labels make up about 14 percent of the U.S. beer market. Take Allagash, Lagunitas, Dogfish Head, and all your other favorite little breweries, toss them together, and they barely outsell the third most popular brand in America. On the other hand, it's also a very specific testament to the decline of Budweiser, which these days is basically a beer without a purpose. Twenty years ago, when Americans were less health-conscious and had more homogeneous tastes, selling a mass-market, midpriced lager designed to appeal to the largest possible demographic made lots of sense. But now, it's a brand without a natural audience except for older Americans who drink it out of habit and maybe a nostalgic sense of brand loyalty. If you walk into a bar, there will almost always be a cheaper beer, a less caloric beer, and plenty of tastier beers on tap. And so it's not totally shocking that, by Anheuser-Busch Inbev's account, 44 percent of Americans between the ages of 21 and 27 have never tried a regular old Budweiser. It's not as if they're missing anything. http://www.slate.com/blogs/moneybox/2014/11/24/budweiser_sales_decline_americans_now_drink_more_craft_beer_than_bud.html View Quote I can't believe people drink Bud light.

Quoted:
Anheuser Busch just bought 10-Barrel Brewing, which is a small brewery in Bend, Oregon. Maybe that's their strategy - if you can't brew good beer, buy the breweries that do. 10-Barrel makes a fine product, I just hope AB doesn't screw it up. View Quote they will because they brews they make will be scaled up and be too expensive made like that..... say goodbye. |

Free beer is best beer
Not that I'm a super cool hipster who did it before anyone thought it was cool, but I was lucky to live next to a micro brew bar during my college years twenty something years ago, and developed a taste for good beer. It's what got me started brewing my own stuff |

I first drank Sam Adams at one of the pubs at Faneuil Hall in Boston, prob around 1984. It was vom fass as I don't think they bottled it yet. The only reason that I tried is that a buddy said it's the closest to German beer you can get here in states.
The best beers in the world are European or UK Ales. That's the end of the story. This craft beer homo shit is fine if you don't have perspective but at the end of the day they can't hold a candle to a German Monastery beer. Kruezberg Monastery outside of Graf comes to mind....or Auguststeiner Hell...or Ruetberg Hell...or Josefe Boch...these are all beers that a man can live on. For breakfast, after dinner or any other time of day. And none of that Pils bullshit, either. What is better in life than a Weiss beer, a Weiss wurst and bretzen at 0700 in the Munich Bahn Hoff? |

Ok craft kids- tell me this. Picture my summers spent on the Colorado river, its 110 degrees F in beautiful Arizona, and the water is perfect. My beer of choice in that situation is Coors light. What craft beer can suffice in that situation. and don't tell me fucking Stone Brewery. Exactly. While bud has a bad taste, you can't replace American big brand light beer. View Quote I look at it this way as a guy who grew up in the 80s when things in this Country were still pretty good. Guys drank Bud, Michelob, Miller, Old Style, Strohs etc. Maybe Lowenbrau on occasion or Mickey's. Then in early 2000 craft beer was really starting to take shape. Around that time our Country started to decline big time. Young men lost their balls and started to only care about drinking Craft Beers, participating in fantasy football, gaming, watching Comedy Central (Stewart and Colbert) - and just generally becoming snarky know it alls who stand for nothing who seek nothing but a lifestyle of instant entertainment. I'm guessing something in craft beers the last 10 years has lowered drinker's testosterone and shrunken their balls. It's the only logical explanation. |

Oh, and for all the claims of beer snobbery among craft brew drinkers, I've noticed something about most macrobrew drinkers: They have fierce brand loyalty.
"I only drink Bud, Miller is shit" or (my uncle) "Natty light is the best beer, Bud is nasty" Much like the hipsters people claim buy "horrible" IPA's based on a label and a catchy name. Allot of macrobrew drinkers appear to pick a beer based on marking as well: cool commercials, sponsorship of sporting events, and old fashioned brand name recognition. Welcome to human psychology 101. |

I haven't had a Budweiser since the late 90's or so and then it was all I could do to drink that.
I'm not a beer snob either. I grew up drinking Red, White, and Blue, Schiltz Black Label, and Rolling Rock. Now it is mainly higher end beers. My buddy turned me on to Serria Nevada in 1991 after he came back from San Franciso and my beer of choice has been the Pale Ale ever since. I do not drink beer so much any more, but this time of year gets me buying Celebration Ale by the case. |

Meh, I like beer and trying different flavors. My only favorite for taste and consistency is Guinness but I'll drink just about any beer. Well, used to anyways.
