In college, it was Keystone Light 062802puke_prv.gif

 

 

Now, no cheap beer fo' me! Unless provided at a party...but I'd almost rather skip altogether.

 

 

My boyfriend drinks Michelob Light, but I don't think it's considered cheap, more middle of the road.

Great bar here in NYC on Chambers St called 'The Patriot' - Fridays its $1 cans of Pabst Blue Ribbon ice cold. Not a bad deal considering if you tell the bartender its your birthday she'll light two birthday candles on her ta-tas and sing to you.

 

Wait, what was this thread about again?

That's my gameplan as well. If there's no good beer, it's on to Plan B: Tequila! patron.gif

Michelob may be more expensive than Budweiser, but it's no less "cheap." Anheuser-Busch, the makers of both Bud and Michelob, have done a wonderful job marketing Michelob as a classy, expensively-produced beer with a snobby, ritzy-sounding name. However, it's made pretty much the same way as their other crappy beers. They say it's an "all malt lager," but the first thing you smell when you twist off that cap is corn -- corn is known as an adjunct grain in beer making circles, a cheap grain used in place of more expensive grains to keep production costs down. Michelob -- it's all in the marketing. wink.gif

 

Because of that marketing, some people in the U.S. think Michelob is imported. Years ago I was at a restaurant and I asked the waitress what kind of imported beers they had. She said, "Beck's, Heineken, Amstel, and Michelob."

I replied, "Michelob isn't imported."

"Oh, sure it is!"

"No, it isn't. It's made here in the U.S. by Anheuser-Busch, the makers of Budweiser."

"...It is?"

"Yep."

"Oh..."

"I'll have water, please."

That's better than "LOTS" as the answer from the waitress. laugh.gif

Correct me if I'm wrong...but doesn't Budwiser use rice in their beers. I had read somewhere that Miller uses corn and Bud uses rice. I also heard that Rolling Rock uses rice too, and I get the same horrible head ache from Rolling Rock and Bud.

Yes, Bud uses rice, another adjunct grain not found in quality berrs. I was referring to Michelob using corn.

That would explain why Michelob doesn't mess me up like Bud. I don't drink Michelob much though. There is much better beer out there for the price.

After decades of drinking beer i've realized there's not much difference in quality between beer. Some small breweries that appear out of nowhere can have bad stuff, but there's not much difference between major breweries products. Labels and nationalism are big reasons for an individuals preference. Try to give a Canadian a Michelob, and you're likely to hear a five minute rant on how Canadian beer is light years ahead of American, how there's more alcohol in Canadian beer (a falsehood) to try to justify the $40 case price tag. Whatever. When i'm over in America, I pick up a thirty pack of Genny Light, and leave happier than a pig in slop.

Nothing personal, but they may be something wrong with your taste buds.

That's the Warsteiner slogan!

That observation MIGHT apply to the beers listed in this poll...otherwise, I think you need to try some better beers. trink39.gif

Would you add Molson, Labatts and Sleeman products in with that group? I would.

Really? I honestly didn't know that, it just popped in my head. I think I tried a Warsteiner in Cinci this summer with 1-0-0-1, can't quite remember what he was drinking.

I voted Busch Light. $15.00 for a 30 of Busch Light is just to good of a deal for a poor 20 year old college kid to pass up haha. So i have drank so much of that junk in the past 2 years that i have grown immune to it's taste.

It was Milwaukee's Best...affectionately known as "The Beast" when I was in college. At the time, $2.00 would get you a 12 pack, but you would have to check in the car for the $.08 sales tax.

 

I haven't drank one in about 18 years (thank god.)
