2pints-mate 0 Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 I'm curious about Budweiser beer and if it is one of the top (in popularity) beers over in the US. They sure do a whole load of ads and sponsorship here in the UK, but my problem is that it's crap. Link to post Share on other sites
indosnm 0 Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 BUD, Millers, Labats, Fosters are all the same crap! light cat's piss like taste Link to post Share on other sites
connackers 0 Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 I quite like it. Especially as in my local shop it`s as cheap or cheaper than the (mostly awful) japanese beers. Link to post Share on other sites
rach 1 Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 From what I remember last time Bud was discussed on here, it's not the most popular of beers Link to post Share on other sites
joshnii 2 Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 I can drink it, but its certainly not one I would go out and choose. Link to post Share on other sites
kintaro 0 Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 Bud Light on occasion but I never ever ever drink Bud. I don't know many who do. I assume it's a Southern redneck drink I also have the image that military folks drink Bud. I could be wrong. Link to post Share on other sites
maoriboy 0 Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 the local Parco have a Budweiser beer garden on the roof during the summer. Went there for the Bud girls...the beer was, quite frankly, the worst shit Ive ever tasted. Maybe it was just the bar but geez I almost asked for my money back. Link to post Share on other sites

sakebomb 0 Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 Bad beer! I remember working in a restaurant in Australia and the liquer supplier had a Bud campain, cheap prices. So my dumb arse boss bought a sh*t load. After about 2 months we ditched 85% of it in the bin. Nobody liked the Bud! Nobody even wanted to take it home free of charge!

danz 0 Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 one of the reasons for buds incredible popularity in the states is due to the baby-boomer generation...and vietnam. Bud was the only beer easily available to american gi's in vietnam...talk about a good way to develop customer loyalty! That does not mean it is good...it is cheap. There are cheap bad tasting beers in every country you go to... The US has sooooo many brews available it would take a lifetime to try them all...my favorite beers all come from the US...Sierra Nevada IPA...mmmmmm Link to post Share on other sites

grungy-gonads 54 Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 Where's "Skol" from? anyone? Link to post Share on other sites
brett_jackson 0 Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 I think Skol is a subsidiary of Carlsberg Malaysia .... I seem to remember one of my beer aficionado friends mentioning it anyway. I agree with the Bud-haters here. It's heinous. But I guess it makes sense that Americans would love it, after all, they like Fosters Lager too. And pretty much every Australian (where Fosters is from) absolutely hates it. Best beer I've ever tasted: Mountain Goat Hightail Ale, closely followed by Grand Ridge Natural Blonde (both Victorian microbreweries) Link to post Share on other sites
zebedee 1 Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 Quote: It's heinous. Nice one. I remember Skol. What was that other one called that used to have the ads, Oranjiboom or something? I can't even remember if that was any good or not. Link to post Share on other sites

Many of the people on this forum who say they hate bud are Americans mate. Fosters sucks too. Seems many people only relate American beers to Bud and the likes, same with Aussies and Fosters. Certainly both countries have many more rich tasting beers. Sterotypes... Link to post Share on other sites
DrMabuse 0 Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 It sure ain't the best, but,.... "It's heinous" Really that bad you think? Link to post Share on other sites
scoobydoo 0 Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 Bud sells quite well in our local place so it seems with the Japanese. It seems to be sold as the trendy import drink. Link to post Share on other sites
big-will 7 Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 I went to a friends house over the weekend, and he was so pleased to be able to give me some Bud - he thought I'd be well chuffed that he got me some kaigai biiru. I had one of them just to make him happy, and yes, it did suck. Link to post Share on other sites
badmigraine 0 Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 During my alcoholic haze days in Walled Lake, Michigan I would have recourse to Bud or Bud Light when I wanted to slow things down after all the strong beer, wine and/or liquor. It was so watery and light, it seemed to rehydrate me and prep me for more drinking later on. Much like a professional tennis player sitting down for a short break when changing ends.
