Personally I hate Bud. If I had to choose between that and pickle juice, I'd take the vinegar residue every time.

Here's what I found strangely humorous is Bud's last greatest campaign to be the world's best "beer maker" by pushing their "born on dating" crap. I didn't know beer had such an exact shelf-life, and that if you drank beer AFTER that date, you were drinking "less-than-perfect" beer? (Doesn't ALL Bud fall into that category?)
It was nothing more than a ploy to fool people into thinking that they NEEDED to buy "fresh" Bud, or risk some unknown beer malady from drinking old Bud.

I like trying brews from independent brewers.
I like micro brews, but shy away from any extravagant concoctions that stray away from the basic recipes for good beer, ale, lager or stout. When you start making chocolate-rapberry stout, for example, you have strayed too far and have lost me.

I like Guiness (draft not bottle EVER!!!), Harpoon, Sam Adams, Rolling Rock (old not new), Hardcastle, Smithwicks (from draft in Ireland, not from a bottle here), Samiclaus (?) (one bottle is enough)
and any number of small brewery simple creations (IPA, stouts and lagers).
