I'm heading there now for a couple of cool ones.
I was only half joking on the Budweiser comment. It’s actually not a bad beer at all, and I have yet to turn one down when offered to me. I’ve certainly had my share of Bud over the years. I guess just got bored with it and most other mega-brews.
Calories are not a measure of sugar. Over 2/3 of calories in beer are from alcohol and the other 1/3 is from unfermented carbohydrates, which is where most of the flavor comes from. Last time I checked, Coke has a ton of sugar, but no alcohol. Sam Adams has over 5% alcohol and a lot of malted grain extracts. Budweiser uses rice to save on barley malt, but rice adds darn little to the flavor party.
“People that can’t be bothered to educate themselves on what makes a good beer vs. Macrobrews deserve nothing less. “
I think people know a good beer. They have purchased billions of gallons of the stuff. I don’t see them buying your beer.
Flavor and taste are personal choices. Many of us have tied those microbrews. Very few are good, most are crap. Like drinking fermented dishwater.
Claiming if they like popular beers they don’t know good beer is just childish arrogance and stupidity.
You know why you serve Bud and Coors cold right? So you can tell them from piss.
SToooooop! I see a couple bottles that aren’t broken!
Actually I also no longer drink.
Just having some fun. :D
That being the case, Miller bought up a lot of other brewers of the low end beers and crappied up their products even more.
Pearl and Lone Star of today are not made where they were in the 1990s and are not the same beers.
Can’t have them edging into Miller’s “traditional” sales.
Hipster connoisseurs are famous for “loving” PBR (because in NYC you can buy one for under $5 where other beer can run you $7 per serving). Hipsters are the same edgey douchebags who ride bicycles without brakes and have ushered in the $7 hot dog/$10 hamburger fusion food trucks.
Penny wise, pound foolish. No wonder Obama and Shepard Fairey reached out to them in 2008.
