Bud makes money because it’s Bud. The Belgians won’t change anything.

I’ll drink Boh, Schaefer, or the stale of horses before I swill Yeungling, which is Danish for “Wide Open Ass.”

Carlo Rossi spritzers FTW!

I know it’s not Friday any more, but I couldn’t resist a beer question!

Will it destroy Bud? I doubt it, but I don’t really have any feelings one way or the other.
Will my opinion be improved? Not unless something dramatic changes about the brewing process, and that probably WOULD be a death knell for them, so I don’t think that’ll happen.

Not including micros or imports? Well crap, that’s about all I drink. Bass is my standby if I’m somewhere with a bad selection – it’s highly drinkable, if boring; Stone, Ommegang, Rogue, or Allagash if it’s domestic micros; favorite Belgian.. umm.. umm.. tough one. Leffe, Chimay, Duvel, Westmalle.. all tasty. And yes, I admit it, Lindeman’s Framboise will always have a special place in my heart.

Gallo (marketed as Famosa here in the States) from Guatemala w/a slice of lemon does it for me. Pilsner Urquell gets the job done, too.

The best beet in the US is IC Light. The best beet in the world is formaldyhyde laced San Miguel from the Phillipines. All others suck. All Belgian Beers suck. Y’all are a bunch of pretentious urban hippster beer snobs. Get a life

From the Land of Sky Blue Waters,
From the land of pines, lofty balsams,
Comes the beer refreshing,
Hamm’s the beer refreshing.
Brewed where nature works her wonders,
Aged for many moons, gently mellowed,
Hamm’s the beer refreshing,
Hamm’s the beer refreshing.
From across the rippling water,
Through the whisp’ring pines and birches,
Comes the beer refreshing,
Hamm’s the beer refreshing.
Comes a call to cool enchantment,
Comes a call to cool refreshment,
Hamm’s the beer refreshing,
Hamm’s the beer refreshing.
Hints of lakes and sunset breezes,
Dance and sparkle in each glassful,
Hamm’s the beer refreshing,
Hamm’s the beer refreshing.

I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t have to drive any farther than Wisconsin for Hamm’s… maybe just fly to Chicago and pack a big suitcase full of it.

Budweiser is not beer. It’s like beer-flavored water (maybe a new concept for Vitamin Water?). Sam Adams is a terrific domestic beer. And how can you not love a beer label that describes the historical Sam Adams as “Brewer. Patriot.” Now there’s a real American!

Best Belgian beer? Leffe.
