Beer

Anyone ever tried this? Brewed out of Houston Texas

This is serious shit here fellas.. Drank Budweiser most of my life. I know for a fact it's watered down compared to the old school German beer it was made to be years ago. InBev has watered it down I know for a fact.


Anyone know of a good brew that's comparable to old school Budweiser? I know the grain is rice.. Water, Barley Malt, Rice, Yeast, Hops.


Fuck InBev. Bastards don't even make old school Michelob anywhere and stick to Michelob ultra for the gays

Damn...how did I miss this thread for a whole week???

I will drink Bud when I'm going for volume, like this weekend, perhaps, but there are much, much better options out there.

And I managed to find Michelob Light, not the ultra, when I was Upstate in July

The two I find the skunkiest are Yeungling and Heineken, both of which come in green bottles. Coincidence?

No. It’s not. Green colored bottles allow more light in which speeds up oxidation and gives beer the skunky taste and smell. Heat light and air are three things that will cause this. So always get dark bottles and store it in a cool place, if not refrigerated.

No, it's more about the fact that it's not anywhere near the best product available from Australian breweries, but they have incredible marketing reach

Great Lakes Brewery is badass.

Been doing the craft beer thing since long before it was hip. 1989.

This pic that I often use as an avi is from their Burning River Pale Ale label.

I started drinking their Edmund Fitzgerald porter this summer. I’m a fan.

Correcked. This is why I generally avoid green or clear bottles. I'll buy Modelos in a 12-pack, though, because they're somewhat shaded by the cardboard

Lol, yup. I think I was maybe 12 years old when it first showed up in the Midwest. They had those fucked up cans that you had to learn how to open them.

I remember the old Stubby Olympia Beer Bottle.

I used to work at a brewery. You pick up some things over the years.

Here in northern Virginia there are lots of breweries and brew pubs. Most bars have a bunch of craft beer taps and every supermarket has craft beer in bottles and cans.

Why drink Buttwiper? I get a new beer almost every time I go out. No reason to drink watered down piss.

If you do get to the Gold Coast, check in on my friends in Noosa. They'll hook you up with some decent local

But this is the point: you live in the US, and the only Australian beer you have likely ever heard of is a Fosters, similar to how people in other nations, when they hear "American beer," they most likely think of Budweiser. Both of them have done a great job of marketing worldwide

I was at spec’s just now and had to go back to this thread to see my options.

Wish I could find some old-school Michelob

I re-read the thread and saw where I did see some a few months back, and managed to get a couple sixers. But it didn't look or taste like I remembered. The bottles weren't those smooth shapely things they had 20 years ago, just a straight longneck. Haven't seen it again since then, I guess because nobody else was buying them.

Upstate they had Mich Light 30-packs (cans) at the Wal-Mart.

But... Rolling Rock comes in a green bottle, and it's nowhere close to skunky

I think you're lying

 

[LetsGoPats]

Yep. It's called Czechvar here now. Even though the Czech beer was the original, AB sued them for marketing it here under the Budweiser name.

Yeah, Czechvar is nice.

 

[Golden Spur]

Beer's cool.
