Video I guess Budweiser figured out that Patriotic > "trans" clown for Superbowl ad.

I dunno.
Some of the ones who pitched a fit and said they'd never drink Bud Light again after the Dykan Mulvaney thing are back to drinking it, hoping no one will notice.

In my younger days I might have been tempted to poke the bear and quote Ron White in that "You can't fix stupid" and try to show them the path to craft beer salvation, but my give a shit is give out, I have tried before to expand their beer horizons, but if they are bound and determined to wallow in their Light beer ignorance, so be it. :rolleyes:

Besides, it takes less craft beer to make the beer goggles work...

We used to refer to Bud Light and any other light as “Nancy Beer” or “Girly Beer”, back in the ‘80’s.

I still call it Kiddy beer.
I'll tease someone if I know them by saying... "You know, in Germany, they put a nipple on the Bud Light longnecks and give it to the babies." :ROFLMAO:
 
Microbreweries, craft breweries if you prefer, are closing their doors at a pretty good clip.

People are drinking less, which is surprising but true. It would also stand to reason that when their budget is stretched, people buy cheaper beer and drink it at home.

A couple of years of ads that include flag waving, stories about horses and eagles that make people cry, and bros saying Wazzup... and all will be forgiven with Anheuser Busch.

The American public is fickle.

People are fickle in general, BL, not just us Americans. That's historic- from the Triumphal Entry of Jesus in Jerusalem and then doing a 180 & Screaming "Crucify Him, Give us Barabbas" in a matter of hours, and before AND after, such is the state of humanity. That's one reason why its dangerous to get hung up on your own press.

As far as butt-wiper, I've never liked it. Instant headache for me. I don't get that with other beers- common, or microbrew varieties. Lager, Porter or stout please. Any IPA need not apply. too hoppy for my taste buds.

I don't very often nor to excess whatsoever, but when I do, I don't mess around. Usually with Pizza or Mexican Food. Yum....sometimes Asian, too. Some great Asian beers. Tsing Tao, etc...

Yep. The price for a pint has reached the point where it's much cheaper to buy the same beer at the store and drink it at home.

I'm drinking less yes, but I'm drinking much less at restaurants and brew pubs. A meal for 2 and a couple of pints of craft each is now $120. Even the brew pubs that make it on site are charging the same per pint as pubs that just sell it. You know the profit they're making is huge on the beer.

Pretty sure it's already there. Just watching the beer girl at the local Longhorn, she serves many times more Bud Lights than everything else combined.

I think they don't realize how susceptible they are to a Madison Ave. ad campaign.
How many of you remember "The Budweiser Test" ads from 10+ years ago? Budweiser resurrected an old campaign from the 40's they used to run. What they didn't tell you, is that this "test" works with any beer. Your tastebuds become accustomed to the new taste after a few days.

I don't have a single go-to favorite beer, I enjoy several different styles and buy this kind one week, and something different the next. I noticed that when drinking Sierra Nevada Pale Ale that after not drinking it for a while and then buying it again that I don't like it as much as I remembered if the beer before the switch was a lighter, sweeter beer. But after a few days, that goes away and I like it again.

I do NOT like beer. Never have. Can't stand the taste. But I wish I DID like it. There are so many kinds of beers, and every country / culture has their own beers. So when traveling, it would be nice if I could enjoy partaking in that. But.... BLECH! Tastes terrible! I just have never liked the flavor of beer.

Drink stout and you will change your mind.
 
Racer- I understand where you're coming from. Many beers I do NOT like.


Samuel Smith Oatmeal Stout- yum. Mother Earth Brewing Co Milk Truck Latte Stout. I've had one can set aside in the fridge for 3+ months...It's about time to open and enjoy it. Another one is Moose Drool (Big Sky Brewing Company) it's a brown ale- leaning toward a porter. Many porters are good, too. A good Salted Caramel Stout (Broadside Brewery) is delicious as well. Goes great with Vanilla Ice Cream. Yessss.... A good bitter is another one. Tastes nothing like it sounds.

It's been a while since I've had one of those! 😋 I had a six of Guinness about a month ago (not all at one time). There is still a Yuengling Black and Tan in the fridge calling my name. :) Blue Moons about six months ago. A couple other ones I haven't had in quite a while are Mackeson Stout and Sam Adams Cranberry Lambic. 😋

I used to have a chart of "world" beers and where they stood on the sweet/bitter spectrum. 🤔

PS: pumpkin does NOT belong in beer! (or coffee) :sick:

My exes still get together for lunch. They just cant let me go.
I know Victorias secret

In my presence, fortune cookies apologize for being wrong.

He's an actor. I am The Most Intriguing Man in the World: Soldier of fortune, mercenary, condottiere, profiteer, gunslinger, and keeper of historical and alchemical secrets known only to the Knights Templar.

I confess to never wearing cheap shoes and I work hard to stay fit. I know it's disappointing to the gay community that I am not one of them. I've never even been curious.
 
Bud has always given me a headache even when I only drink one or two.

Being from Baltimore, National Bohemian has always been my favorite beer, especially when eating steamed crabs. Nothing else will do!

I much prefer a good whiskey to any beer.
