Miller on draft I like, when relaxing at a bar as its not heavy filling.

I love Sierra Nevada, Bells out in Michigan makes some top notch brews, I love Hazed and Infuzed from Boulder Brewing, Dogfish Head etc. And had an Lefthand Ale last night that was very good. The thought of tasting another Bud product makes me gag in comparison lol and haven't tasted in a long time. I was just always curious as to the King of Beers slogan....kinda like Kia or Hyundai saying their the king of cars over Porsche b/c they make more vehicles (not saying anything bad about either but you know what I mean)

One of my favorite beer combinations is what I call the Led Zeppelin/Jimi Hendrix combo
Hazed and Infused from Boulder Brewing and Purple Haze from Abita Brewing.

I'm a Coors Light man myself... not a lot of places here have it on tap, unfortunately.

Loved Brewzzi, great food but they had some write ups in the paper of not the cleanest kitchen etc. So haven't been there since lol. I had some of their own brew's, nothing special, just ok, and not cheap either. Ale House does (only reason I know is b/c my buddy would only drink Coors lol). The new Ale House in Boca is nice, not the sh!thole out in West Boca, and their friggen Crab Cakes are amazing.

I get all my beers from Case and Keg (Beerworld) here on 2nd ave. Feel like a kid in candy store every time I go in there, and the beer tastings are great

I have my own business in finance, your point

Ok, let's put it this way, it would be like me saying that your finance company is the worst that I have ever dealt with for no apparent reason. Like I said in an earlier post, to each their own. If you don't like one of A-B's products, then so be it. No need ot go dragging products through the mud on and on. BTW, I would recommend taking a tour through one of A-B's breweries. Yes, you may not care for the taste of one of the particular products, but you cannot argue with the quality that goes into making A-B brews. I can attest to this. it is called King of Beers because it is the #1 selling beer in the world. It used to be #1 in the U.S., but was outpaced by Bud Light within the past few years. I don't think marketing can influence that many people...

I must not be alone considering the bad reviews it gets even on beer sites. But your comparison doesn't work b/c you haven't dealt with my company whereas I've drank their brews. I know their facilities are quality, but their ingredients sorely lack behind others (not talking Miller etc).

not to change the subject but, has anyone heard of beer prices set to sky rocket in the near future? appreantly hopps prices have increased many multiples from what it's normally like, just like every other comedity i guess. any ways some one at work told me tonight anheuser busch is planning to have beer prices to be doubled from what they are now, don't know the time frame. hopefully it's just rumors and talk, that'd be pretty tough on the ole bar buisness.

All american beer sucks, but i will drink it if thats all there is. Guinness is what i drink.

You know what, I'm dropping it. I just think it's shortsighted to have the view that you do, along with some others that have posted on this thread. I think you should try some of A-B's other products with an open mind. I think you would be surprised. Sure, Bud, Bud Light, Bud Select, and some others are not for everyone. There are several other brews that have a unique and distinct taste. I think folks get too wrapped up in, "oh, if it's from the same company that makes Budweiser, than I don't like it." Similar to car care products. Folks will say, "I hate Zaino products" because they tried one of their waxes and were not impressed. Well that may be, but they could very well like their leather conditioner. Beer is a very subjective matter, and it's just shortsighted to make comments such as these especially regarding the ingredients.

I have a moderately amusing Budweiser story. My Mom's aunt always told us to not spend much on her Christmas presents. One year I decided to get her a 24 pack of beer since that would be an inexpensive gift and I knew she liked beer. I no longer drink (and haven't for about 15 years now) so while I was at the store looking at beer, I asked my then 6-year-old son what kind we should get her. He liked right up at me and said "We should get her Budweiser, Dad, it's the king of beers".

Someone was watching a lot of sports on TV!

Has anyone of yall tried the new Miller Chill? It's probably the only beer I actually enjoy drinking.

Busch Light for beer pong, other than that, i'm a vodka person.

Arguing about beer is pretty much as pointless as arguing about wax, it is more about personal preference than anything else. Seems most of you who are putting down Bud are really into trying different brands, enthusiasts I guess you could say. Some of us and I would probably be safe in saying that most are not enthusiasts when it comes to beer and are perfectly fine drinking whatever happens to be on sale. To me they all taste the same after the first couple of beers anyway
