Just to clarify. I think these are Bud Light commercials right? You can bash Bud Light all you want. Bud heavy is another story.

I'm with you, Luds. I used to only drink Sam, Magic Hat, Harpoon, etc... and I'd scoff at Bud because of the image associated with it. Then one day, I was at a friends house and all he had was Bud heavies to drink. I reluctantly took one and low and behold, it was a good beer. I still have a fridge in the basement full of microbrews and Corona's, etc... But I always have some regular Bud heavies in there for myself. Bud Light is just plain awful It's the second to last beer on earth that I'd drink, just ahead of Coors Light.

Bud "Heavy"....I think thats a Stretch

Buds a great beer to have when you're mowing the lawn or doing yardwork....It will actually refresh you. (at least thats what I tell myself)

bud light starts to come into its own, and the drinkability factor starts to emerge, after about 12 beers . anything less than that, stick to the good stuff.

basically, the ad should say that if you want to drink heavily all day, bud light is the way to go

Bud Light is the beer you drink when you want to Smash heads with your buds and say 'Dude, I kicked the whole 30 pack"

You couldn't pay me to drink ANY bud.
Give me a Guiness, Harpoon, Sam, Rolling Rock, Smithwicks or for a really quick blitz (you skip over the buzz and go right to drunk) I'll look for Samiclaus (?)
It's the world's strongest beer, or at least it was the last time I checked. To give you an idea, 1 bottle is like drinking 6 of anything else. A 6-pack is like a case, and the cost reflect this. It taste a and does down like apple schnapps.
Ok, this is a special beer, but the others are my regulars.

Worlds Strongest beer is Sam Adams Utopias @ 24% ABV

Samichlaus is the Worlds Strongest Lager @ 14% ABV...but its a hell of a lot cheaper than Utopias.....$5 a bottle comapred to $200...so you can have 40 of them

Gimme a Green Hornet anytime. Bud (heavy or lite) would be an option only if all the breweries in Europe and Canada simultaneously imploded, leaving only one whiskey, one scotch and one............

Catch'em up,

canadian beer sucks

give me a GOOD american beer anytime.

if i'm having a few beers at a bar or home, give me the good stuff.

if i'm drinking all day at a nascar race or party, i've got no issues with bud, bud light, miller light, etc. just keep coors light the hell away from me - if i want water, i'll drink water

"American Beer is like Making Love in a Canoe"

Jim Koch is my Hero....he's made it acceptable for Mass produced beers to actually be concerned about Flavor.....instead of "Drinkability"

Wow, you started off strong with Guiness, Harpoon, and Sam Adams. How you can drink such great beers and then go as low as Rolling Rock is beyond me. I use to get $2 rolling rock bottles when I was in school and that was in NYC. I think a Sam Adams was 6 bucks at the same bar. It was cost effective way to hit the bars but that RR just tasted like piss. If I had my choice of cheap beersI would much rather drink PBR.

i'd take red dog or ice house (are either still made, man they sucked) over rolling rock

in fact, i'd take any other beer made over rolling rock

pbr is actually pretty good

Oh yeah...and PBR pounders were a bargain too....

a word of warning from the center for disease control to those who drink cheap beer:

"Cheap beer prices may a have direct effect on increases in sexually transmitted disease (STD) among young people, according to a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Everytime beer taxes go up or the legal drinking age is raised, gonorrhea rates usually dropped among young people, according to Alcohol Policy and Sexually Transmitted Disease Rates --United States, 1981--1995 published April 28, 2000 by the CDC."

i may make this my signature

Wow, Hamm's is a blast from the past. In college, we used to go north of the border (to NH) and buy cases of Piels and Black Label.

Aside from Coors Lite, probably the worst beer for me as far as drinkability was when I used to go up to Syracuse and all the parties had were kegs of Gennessee. That stuff went down like a cup full of thumbtacks in sawdust. We quickly learned to drink a lot before heading out to the parties.

I have been a Miller Lite guy since day one......it actually has flavor (yeah it tastes great) but it does! Bud on the other hand....is quite frankly.....swill! Miller is also swill!! I think I might drink the Bud before the Miller!! MGD is good, Coors Light.......oh boy now there is a vile container of goat piss if ever I have tasted one!! Has to be one of the worst beers ever! Corona is good on a hot day with the lime! I have enjoyed the Harpoon line of beers!

Hamms, Red Dog, Pabst, Schlitz, Schaefer, Gansett', Red, White and Blue.....I would never lower myself!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

don't forget

McEwens Scottish ale... a few of those and your pretty much drunk on yer ass... lol

it has a taste that you have to acquire though-> a bit

second choice is Belhaven Scottish Ale
hell they started brewing it in 1571, i think it was....

supposedly any beer that comes in a green bottle goes skunky because the green glass allows to much light in...

Ok JohnR where are ya....? we need some German beer recommended about now...

too much "swill beer" out on the Market....

i haven't tried wachusett yet however...
