too light imo.

It seems to have gotten worse in the last 5-10 years. Could just be my mind playing tricks on me though

It's no worse than any other macro lager. Just because they were out of your usual Coors doesn't make Bud good.

Bud is a C-tier beer. It's Bud Lite that is terrible

>>18035067
I can smell your beard oil through this post

>>18035078
Hipsters drink shitty lagers on purpose though, except ironically.

Money's been tight, so the missus and I have been resorting to cheap beer. Got a box of budweiser just today actually, chugging it now. It's honestly not that bad, surprisingly. Not great, but not bad.

>>18035048
too late fatso you're already short, stubby and fat

>>18035048
It's easy to drink and cheap. I love all types of beer but Bud definitely has its place. I'd understand the hate if I wasn't American and had to pay an import premium for it, though.

Bud is very popular for a reason.

Bud Light however is pretty tasteless.

For me, though, it's Negra Modelo.. some dark Mexican beer that's basically a bavarian dunkel lager... whatever that means I don't know shit about beer except how to drink it.

>>18035087
I thought hipsters stopped doing that back in 2006 when everyone else caught onto it.

>>18035101
Maybe. Or hipsters kind of just stopped being a thing after smart phones became ubiquitous. (Don't tell /ck/; they don't go outside so just let them believe their crazy ideas of what the actual world is like.)

>>18035048
It's popular. Also, it's a rice beer and so is pretty different. I really do like it though.

>>18035048
>why does bud get so much hate?
You're thinking of bud lite. That being said, there are better alternatives. Gansett, yuengling, sam adams to name a few

>went out to a diner-bar with my dad and uncle

Do none of these places carry fucking Miller High-Life or what?

>>18035048
Low strength, rice wine.

>>18036635
Personal preference and based on opinion. A selection of beers from the microbreweries in your city. Micros make everything from lager to stout to IPA now, they're not just 15 different flavors of IPA anymore

i'd drown before i could get drunk off of pissweiser

>>18035116
No, hipsters are definitely real and thriving. Ever zoomer is either a hipster or trying to emulate niggers or is a full blown anime-loving nazi pedophile retard.

Just drink hurricane or stacks

>>18035048
It's not terrible, but it's not good. It's like having a bunch of different options for Italian food and picking Spaghetti-O's.

>>18035048
Bud lite is the terrible one.

>>18035179
I also like Hamms and Montucky better too

>>18035048
Budweiser has the highest protein between BudMillerCoors (1.3g, <1.0g, 1g respectively) to get some idea how diluted with adjunct they all are. They're also the only one that uses hop pellets instead of CO2 extract. Maybe it's popular for good reason?

There's a bunch of delusional reviews on Beer Advocate saying it smells and tastes like corn when it says "rice" right there on the can. There was even that Superbowl ad about corn syrup. People just want to hate it. I've paid $10 for craft pilsner 6-packs that's worse than it.

>>18035098
>Modelo

>>18036719
I got hamms for the first time recently and I like it, but not as much as others. Hamms has a lighter, thinner color and I find it offputting
>Montucky
I don't think this is available where I live

It's just overpriced for what it is. It's probably the best big brand lager, it's just also a few dollars more than it should be.

>>18035048
It's way too sweet imo.

>>18035048

That's when I learned all of it is bullshit. I'm not a badass because I can take a shot of Vodka straight, it's just alcohol, there's no effort or endurance or feat of strength in taking any shot. Hell, the toughest one for me to take without reaction is fucking gin, the drink of choice for old grannies. It's meaningless, so now I go for stuff that actually tastes good too.

Hamms is actually a good beer to use if you're one of those people that likes to put clamato or tomato juice in your shit. At that point why bother using a more expensive beer you just like the taste of that other shit.

Jew OWNED. Get rid of it.

>>18035054
Nobody has debunked this

>>18035048
the american craft beer revolution was spearheaded by stone brewing co out of san diego, whose brand was based on catchphrases like "you're not worthy," and "don't drink fizzy yellow beer." essentially their whole marketing strategy was that american light lager (macro lager), aka anything produced at a certain large scale, was tasteless garbage, while their assertively hopped and flavorful beer was true craft. their marketing was largely successful and many american craft beer drinkers look down on macro lagers, while in fact they continue to win global and regional awards and recognition. the bud/miller/coors brands are mostly style defining, and since they move a huge amount of volume they are usually fresh and delicious.

>>18038148

>>18038174
I got an ice cold Coors light bottle from a VFW the other week. It was the freshest Coors I'd ever tasted. It was the best beer I had all month. I bet they move a lot of volume, and dug this one out of a chest freezer.

how do you know that? just curious.

>>18035048
macro beers are fine its just for people who want somewhere to start with beers and dont know what they'll like or people who dont like beer
going into it i thought i wouldve liked those dark heavy reddit stouts because they look cool, but i really prefer beers in a more belgian style which tend to be light in color and fruity, i made some myself that tastes like cider

>>18038433
You can melt the metal exterior with room temperature gallium or other solutions while leaving the plastic liner intact. Without this liner, products would corrode or leach the metals from the containers, a problem with early cans.

>>18038451
I appreciate the answer. But I meant why do you know that? As in is it something from your line of work or are you just a guy with weird facts?

If you want a good beer for cheap, that actually tastes like a lighter lager, may I suggest

I was pleasantly surprised at the taste, and it's around $15 for a 30 pack.

Ok, are these brewed from freaking rice? For years I couldn't handle the taste of so much of these macro beers. Especially some of the low carb ones.

Is this what Bud and etc are using?

Was the recipe different before? Like a decade or two ago? It feels like it tasted OK back then but now I just can't even. Coors Banquet is about the only macro I can do.

Serious question. If you have such a major concern for micro plastics have you actually made an effort to eliminate them? If so, have you actually seen measured improvements in your health?

Fuck anon.... Get one of those water dispensers and use those big blue water jugs. Can't stand hearing a true G who is on /ck/ without good water. I know, you prolly broke AF. But water should be #1 over any soft drink etc.

>>18038856
Most macro beers use either corn mash or rice in addition to the standard barley/hops/yeast to increase the initial sugar content and make it ferment faster (note: the end sugar content is still the same as normal beers). They've been doing this for over a hundred years, too. American Budweiser has always used rice. The Czech version doesn't.
To give a reference, Coors Banquet and Coors Light use corn syrup over rice for alcohol content. Before you go REEEing about the antichrist, the sugars are converted to alcohol by the fermentation and there's nothing left of the original corn syrup in the final product.

>>18038856
>Ok, are these brewed from freaking rice?
Yes, Mostly.
There may be some barley malt extract but they are predominantly based on rice sugar.

>>18038129

We also get American Budweiser. In markets with American Budweiser (North America, mostly), Czech Budweiser is rebranded as "Czechvar" which doesn't contain rice.

18038174

Just to put that shill post that received .10c for each ((YOU)) into perspective. Remember Safe & Effective? Imagine if they used 'usually safe & effective kek. But beer can get away with that, pharma can't.

Canadian macrobeer is on par with American. If you're in Alberta though, the sheer amount of craft beer, or really anything alcoholic is absolutely ludicrous as the liquor control board basically let's anyone do anything, and bring anything in. Every other province sucks though.

I kind of admire how much effort they put into replicating hops minus the skunking, and the foam retention with Tetrahop. It's a scientific marvel. But it's also silly because they could have just used brown bottles like everyone else.

Low level: Memes

>>18039895
It's actually more expensive per liter compared to Paulaner, kek

I'm not a beer snob, I actually like Bud for parties because it gives you the beer feel without getting you bloated (unlike Paulaner) but quality wise there's just no comparison.

>>18035094
It's part of Inbev, which is Belgian. Apart from flooding the market with lager, burning down competitor's breweries (Hoegaarden, now Inbev) and flooding every goddamn aspect of public life with ads there's no reason to hate Inbev.

>>18039905
In America, Pilsner Urquell is 2x as expensive as Budweiser. I love Bud but if they were the same price I'd never drink it again. Bulk buying 24-30 cans for cheap is a major part of the appeal.
