    Yup

    Because, IUFG, I am not a beer snob. Like any sensible chap, I'm quite happy drinking either lager or bitter depending on the circumstance.

    And anyone who says that Czech lagers and Polish lagers etc etc are far superior to Bud or San Miguel are either pretentious liars or they have taste bud issues.

    Nowt wrong with a cold can of Bud. Lovely stuff.

    Saying you don't like a particular bitter or lager does not make you a beer snob. Slagging off lager generally or American lager etc does.

    If you put Budweiser in a foreign labeled can the majority of those who slag it off would drink it and enjoy it. It's that whole 'let's hate anything mass produced by Americans' thing the Brits love to do. Bizarrely, no matter how much of mass produced American stuff they seem to eat and drink. See also Starbucks, McDonalds and KFC.

    Budweiser has rice in it. Rice. Rice has no place in beer. None.

    Actually, worse even than Budweiser and Fosters is that repulsive Carling stuff. Which is, of course, entirely the fault of the Canadians.

    Who cares what was put in it if it tastes good.

    Carling? I thought that was an English lager? Seemed very popular in Newcastle when I was up there once.

    But Budweiser doesn’t taste ‘good’. It doesn’t taste bad, either. It just doesn’t really taste of anything. It’s just neutral, fizzy, cold stuff that can get you pìssed without you having to taste anything at all.
    Even Stella tastes of something, ffs! It’s foul monkey píss that tastes like profound self-loathing feels, but it does at least taste of something. Budweser’s greatest sin is that it tastes of absolutely nothing.

    So that's you in the 'has taste bud issues' category. It does have taste, I know because I can taste it. It tastes like what it is, a mild but pleasing lager with a slightly sweet taste and a nice balance between hops and malt.

    That nicely clears up many of your views on food and drink though. Nice one.

    I'd never seen nor heard of it until I came to England.

    I like a lager as much as the next man, but would certainly draw the line at (American) Budweiser and Fosters. They're like piss.

    Czech beers? I found Krusovice 12 to be very enjoyable.
