This should make Harvick Happy...

Actually, that's not a completely true statement. Thanks to Bud's relentless (and obviously very successful) as marketing campaigns, along with their very questionable distribution tactics, so, so many of the smaller brews don't stand a chance. Bud is very successful at telling you what beer you should drink, and very successful at keeping those other beers off the shelves, or at least in the back or on the bottom shelves.

You go on and keep enjoying the beer that Budweiser tells you to like, and I'll keep avoiding it like the plague and drinking what actually tastes like beer.

I actually like Budweiser. As for thr marketing, commercials with Clydesdales have no effect on the taste. The reason the craft brews aren't bigger isn't because of lack of marketing, but because most of them taste like ass.

No, the Clydesdales and the young people partying, frogs, dogs named "herewego" and all that doesn't make it taste better, but it does help sales, and it does make people drinking it (and keep drinking it). As far as better marketing, no. The reason they don't get bigger is becuase, thanks to Bud's tactics, they can't even get on the shelves in many places, or on the taps of many places. And as far as tasting like ass, that pretty much how I think Budweiser tastes.

Oh, and one more thing. But a lot of the logic I see in this thread, Justin Beber, Lady Gaga, et, are great musicians. o_O
 
As a BK fan I drink miller lite because in my head I like to pretend that the money I spend on miller mite goes straight to the #2 car and one day this year hopefully my money will lead him to a victory!:punkrocke

When I go that route, it's Yuengling. Coors light will do in a pinch, but I absolutely refuse to drink Budweiser of Budweiser products. See post #33 above.

Okayyyyyyy, so what does it say? I guess being someone who actually likes something I find to be delicious, and hate something that I find tastes like crap makes a beer snob. So be it. Somehow that makes me "transparent" and a "pathetic form of life." I hate Budweiser. I know for a fact that they have questionable business ethics. Somehow this makes me a transparent pathetic person? Please explain.

The place up the street, the Woodshed bar grill and brewery, has over 80 craft beers on tap and 60 in bottles at any one time but the only way they sell any amount of them is they have a tasting list of over 140 craft beers and have a bartender check off each one you drink when you buy it as a kind of competition between the younger guys, the got something to prove set. Their biggest seller is Bud light, second is Michelob light and third is Miller lite, they sell more of each of those than all of the crafts combined.

Of course, it's probably a third of the cost. Somehow, that makes it good? Like I said, by your logic.......

How do you know, how many Falstaff's have you had the pleasure of drinking?
Click to expand...
Oh, Lord ---- I guess I started with Falstaff longnecks at about age 6. My grandparents had a place on the Gulf. During the summer they would pick me up on Friday and we go for the weekend. My job during the weekend was to "go get a beer for grandma/grandpa". My reward was the first sip of ice cold beer. They'd kill a case easy during the weekend. I'm not sure how many years that went on. So I guess I drank a lot of beer when I was young. :XXROFL:

Then you are probably as good as me with a church key, I carried one until they came out with pop tops. My first was PBR, Jax and Falstaff.
 
Nah, it is all about advertising..Some shrewd advertisers..like the Sam Adams bunch have been sniping the diaper drinkers..get them young..get them for life. it has spawned the micro brewery fad. Most will switch to the cheaper stuff when they figure out you can get the same buzz for less money. Right now they think it makes them seem more grown up..and a real connoisseur..the beer has to taste better if we pay three prices for it right? The "light" business works to fool the drinker into thinking they are cutting calories, more Advertising B.S.,.. light and Calories two different things.

You're saving a whopping 20 calories a beer if you get the light stuff. A regular 12-oz. Bud has 120 calories, a Bud Light of the same size has 100. So I usually pass on the light beer and go for the real stuff.
 
From the article:

In all, Steel Reserve, Colt 45, Bud Ice, and another malt liquor, King Cobra, account for only 2.4 percent of the U.S. beer market, but accounted for 46 percent of the beer consumed by E.R. patients.

Nope, close to the same price.

I somehow doubt that. I'm pretty familiar with places like this, and the prices for good beer. But OK, I'll go ahead and say it again. You keep on drinking what (Bud tells) you to like, and I'll keep on hating that same beer.

You can doubt anything you want but the domestic beer is $3.00 and the average craft beer is $3.80 although they do have 4 from $9.00 to $10.75, now if you want to be a beer snob that's fine but I'll be damned if I'm going to pay $10.75 for a glass of something that I'm just renting. And thank you I will continue to drink BL because I like the taste and no other reason.

Nothing hateful in "my' posts either. Some ribbing taken personally, I guess. So in all honesty, my "thin skinned" post was pretty accurate. Well, that's not 100% true. I do honestly have hatred for not only Bud the beer, but also for Bud the company. That's 100% true.
 
This should not... make Harvick happy that is..:p

imo....anybody who pays anymore than this fer a beer ....is a snob too ! ha!

$16.22 incl tax...per nat lite case=24 / 16 oz. .......= .68 cents per 16 oz.
that = .51 cents per 12 oz beer ..........an ya'll payin 3 bucks an higher.

maybe snob is tha wrong word ? ha!
 
I drink Heavy Seas craft beers and the local craft brew they sell at Roanoke (Get Bent Mountain IPA). I like those beers. I'll gladly pay more for it. Y'all can keep drinking piss, I mean Bud Light.

Using Johali's logic, McDonalds makes the best burgers in the world, "reality TV" is quality television and Lady Gaga releases good music.

My logic is I like the taste of Bud Light, McDonalds fish sandwich will do in an extreme emergency, reality TV sucks except for Duck Dynasty, and who the fuk is Lady Gaga, she or he sure as hell aint on my playlist.
