You know, banning me for my choice in beer? That hurts.

[eastgermanautos]

And after all, my choice derives from the icy waters of the Rocky Mountains. That counts for nothing, eh? Frost-brewed.

True. Although, I hedged my bets with (or other similar píss-like liquid) on that one tbh

why is Budweiser always the choice of 'office drinks'
nobody ever admits to liking it.

is it because the have the twist off caps?

Wouldn't get anywhere near my office, p. I've even turn down free Bud. I suspect it is because you can't actually get pissed on it

We get Birra Moretti for our Friday drinks. And wine, obviously.

That is in fact the case. It very hard to get sh!tfaced, as we like to say, from Budweiser. Coors, now that's a different story. Get yourself a couple of 24 oz cans.

That said, I do prefer the dutch and belgian beers. Fat Tire is smooth as hell.

[Harry Balls]

There's no reason to drink the ****ty commercial beers in the U.S. anymore, we're in a golden age of craft beer. Coors. Try something local brewed:

It says no longer brewed, but it's out every summer and it's the tits. Their east coast / New England IPAs are best outside of Brooklyn's Singlecut and Finback.

I've not had great experiences with craft beer in America although that experience has been limited to the 2 or 3 bars I frequent during my 2 trips to NY each year on business. The problem I think is that increasing the amount of hop or malt flavor in beer doesn't really work in lager because of the carbonation. Too often I find the craft lagers in NY to be overwhelming, almost like drinking a floral perfume of some kind. I do tend to stick to the traditional American lagers like Miller or Coors as they're excellent. As bitter is a flat drink it can handle the increased amount of hop/malt but that doesn't in any way mean it is 'better', just different. I feel sorry for people who can't appreciate both.

Don't listen to the dated beer snobs in England when it comes to lager. Bitter is a nice pint when it's good bitter, I've almost had to spit out a mouthful of bad bitter it was so awful. Can't say I've ever had to do that with lager. There's a reason that every country in the world other than England drinks lager almost exclusively.

Oh, and the number one lager by sales in the UK? That would be Budweiser. :hehe:

Yes, and Carling, Fosters and Carlsberg are up there too.
Given that a lot of establishments (like The Arsenal Stadium, for example) only serve up the weak piss of Carlsberg et al, that somewhat skews the sales picture.

Lager, well actually beer, of choice in the UK is Stella Artois, no?

You did have to check didn't you, IUFG? Typical HR. ;-)

You get a variety of views according to my google search and clearly it will vary over time, however Bud is right up there and was according to one of the results the leader. Would surprise me if it was Stella, though. That was more of a 90s thing, in my experience.

Thing is, I don't know anyone who would order a Budweiser in a pub.

The GLW of a friend offered me a beer at their home recently - Budweiser. I had a cup of tea.

I do :( He is a football writer on a national newspaper, too. Arsenal fan so not all evil. I once walked out of press junket thingy with free beer because the beer was Bud. I actually think Fosters is nicer and that is basically piss

[Herbert Augustus Chapman]

I rather like Birra Moretti. Waitrose always seem to have the farkin' big enormous bottles on offer.

Am I now to be reviled by the AWIMB Ale Fascisti?

Guinness. A soft pint, served in one of those pubs in the Irish countryside which were actually someone's living room, drawn from a barrel which had been correctly stored by the fire. This to happen in about 1982 :cloud9:

Really? There was a time in the City back in the late 90s or early 00s when a chap with a bottle of Bud in his hand was a very common site.

I fail to understand how anyone can claim that it's a bad lager. Fosters I get. Carling I get. Both taste pretty awful but Bud is really rather innocuous, it's just a standard, inoffensive lager. :shrug:

Mind you, it is a large American corporation. :rolleyes:

Ah yes, Late 80s - Early 90s - Budweiser novelty appeal. But I know of no-one, now, who drinks the stuff.

Anheuser-Busch InBev? They own a lot of brands that are decent beers. In fact I enjoyed 2 x 500ml bottles of Leffe Blond during the England Croatia match.

Budweiser is still fizzy piss.

I drank Budweiser on a few occasions during the 90s and noticed that after two bottles I would be afflicted with a headache. I can only assume that this was my brain rebelling against the ghastly stuff.

I used to drink in a pub that had one flourescent strip light in the bar, formica topped tables and a lino floor.
Entertainment was a dart board and a fruit machine and the clientele were borderline psychotic.

Still, they used to turn a blind eye to the recreational use of other stuff as long as you were buying beer.

It's been flattened now and in its place is a German discounter supermarket.

This is my walk to the place, looked at from the other direction. Treacherous, in a way, as the local ghillie had individual ideas about young ruffians tramping for miles over his grounds. Not treacherous at all, in another way, as the old Captain was surely the worst shot ever to serve HMTQ. Although a man who cannot even shoot pheasant really has no business carrying a shotgun in the first place. Embarrassing.
