I like it....I think there is a beer named Amnell...or something like
that.
What I want to know is about the person that decided to be "Ass Wipe"
Seriously...there is a person with that nick....low self esteem or
something...or maybe just bad hygeine practices..hehehe

attention to the label....as long it is not one of those beers that is so
dark it will hold a spoon upright..ewwww...or some of those microbrews
that taste like a bottle of liquid wheat.

(Lover of Budweiser)
This weekend I had three sips of Budweiser, for the first time in many
years. I had forgotten how good it tastes. Lately I've been hooked
on Mike's Hard Lemonade and forgotten all about more traditional
beers. And to think I've toured the Anheuser-Busch plant in St.
Louis...

Back in the days when I did drink (long, long ago), there was no such
thing as a microbrewery, and as far as I was concerned, there were two
kinds of beer-- Bud, and everything else. "Everything else" could be
broken down into two categories-- snobby beers that I generally
couldn't afford, and terrible beers that I only drank when it was all my
budget allowed for. Bud was IT for me. All I have to do is think about
it, and I can taste it. But those are nothing but memories now-- some
rather blurry ones, at that....

PS-- Fruit flavored beers, or beers with fruit stuck in the bottle, are just
plain wrong.
being a belgian, I have been brought up in the widest variety of beers
possible. We have pubs where you can order over 500 different beers,
some of them you have to indicate the year it was brewed.
There are some very good fruit beers. Try Kriek once, a cherry-based
beer.
To claim that you like a beer like Budweiser is one thing (for personal taste is
subjective). But to say that Budweiser is a "good" beer is a claim that can
easily be disproven. All the evidence that is needed to discredit Budweiser is on
their very own label, where it says: "Brewed by our original process from the
choicest hops, rice and best barley malt". Their own cavalier admission to the
use of rice provides evidence, beyond a reasonable doubt, that Budweiser is an
inferior product. To clarify this point, I shall enter a quote from the book,
"Beers of the world", by Bill Yenne: "...Beer, by definition, is a beverage
derived from malted barley. Other grains, such as rice and cornmeal, are often
used in less expensive, mass market brands as a cheaper source of starch, but
this practice is frowned upon by discriminating brewers and consumers..." Some
beers such as Kriek, or Framboise may use other ingredients as a flavoring, but
to be considered a quality product a beer should adhere to the Reinheitsgebot
(German purity laws of 1516), which state that only malted barley, hops, yeast
and water should be used in the brewing of beer. Rice clearly falls outside this
list, which ultimately condemns Budweiser to the status of a second rate product,
barely worthy of human consumption.
I had no clue!
All I know is that is tastes better than the white can that just
says "Beer".
My personal real favorite is Moosehead...and I only get that on special
occasions due to the price.
Hmmmm...just noticed that Milwaukee's Best doesn't say anything
about rice...does that make it...the buttcrack of beer..better than
Bud??

Milwaukee's Best, Budweiser, six of one, half dozen of another. Budweiser is the
only beer brazen enough to flaunt their inferiority. Of course, they have their
target audience well pegged. They know that their drinkers don't know anything
about beer. Having been conditined to think that an anemic beer like Budweiser is
"normal", most people have a difficult time adjusting to a quality beer and are
unwilling to expand their horizons any further. The first time I tried a
Guinness, I thought it was a vile brew. But I was willing and able to overcome
the limitations and conditioning imposed upon me by the US marketplace, and soon
came to appreciate many varieties of beer quite different from the watered down
pilsners which have dominated for far too long. The US market is emerging from a
long, dark age of brewing. With the emergence of the microbreweries, and with so
many good beers (both foreign and domestic) to choose from, it seems almost
criminal to sit around drinking swill like Budweiser.
