well I need to sleep as i start class tomorrow and i had completely inverted my sleeping schedule. Need alcohol to sleep. In the fridge all I have bud light i use for parties.

its past 10 so the store with Chimay and the good micro brew I like is closed.
The local convince store only had a small selection. So i decided to try Budweiser American Ale. It is surprisingly good.
Its not Chimay or a microbrew but it is good.


so looking at current financial crisis and stuff I came up with an Idea Put the US banks under the control of InBev.

You really didn't try to compare chimay with bud right?

to Budweiser American ale.
yeah Chimay is still 10X better. but American ale is really good.
I blame the Belgians at Inbev for the improvement.
though i am not certain what % of alcohol it is.

Me Thinkth the OP is already drunk.

There is never a valid reason for having bud light...ever.

I suppose even bad food tastes good to a starving man...but really I would rather drink aftershave and mouthwash before I got to budweiser.

*giggles*

It's very similar to Kronenbourg blanc in crappiness.

to Budweiser American ale.

A US-Bud ALE? Strange, afaik the US-Bud tried to stay on the lager-pilsner route usually (with horrible results, though).

With microbrews becoming more and more popular ales are becoming more and more popular, so Budweiser is trying to keep up.

I quite like Budweiser, at least the sort you can get in the UK.

Bud Light... the 9mm of beers...

That and Busch Light.

I live in Germany and I am appalled by this thread. I'm going to go to the store now and buy good local beer for 30 ct. a bottle.

I loled.

You can get beer for 29p a bottle? :eek:

Aww :(

it's 31 or 32 ct. + pfand. They raised the price :( Fucking inflation!!! But it's pretty damn good beer - I dont think I'll ever be able to go back to Molson Canadian.

HAH, now if you can get it, try and drink some Yuengling Lager. The Belgians totally ripped it off.

I blame Americans for *everything* not just shitty beer.

Ive been to Penn. Yuengling is good.

Dont give me that I am a German All my beer is good BS.

Ive had bitburger there is no beer worse on earth even Pabst blue ribbon taste better, and sadly bitburger has the largest market share in Germany.

There is never a valid reason for having bud light...ever.

Bottling someone with a Bud Light bottle is like killing them with a feather duster. Making something so fail actually usable means you win.

Ive had bitburger there is no beer worse on earth even Pabst blue ribbon taste better.

This is a lie.


In fact, unless your parents are related, you are missing teeth, or your house has wheels, you should not be drinking PBR. Ever.

You can get beer for 29p a bottle? :eek:

Aww :(

The best I can get is €1 a bottle. Though allegedly it's quite good beer, I've never had any. Warsteiner.

Need alcohol to sleep.
No, you don't!
In the fridge all I have bud light i use for parties.
That's just wrong! Who the hell drinks Bud, let alone Bud light?!?
Budweiser American Ale
Yuck!

If you really want to rethink Budweiser, make the original Czech Budvar Budweiser!
It is surprisingly good
It can't really be.
so looking at current financial crisis and stuff I came up with an Idea Put the US banks under the control of InBev.
How much of that "surprisingly good ale" have you had to come up with stuff like that?

Dont give me that I am a German All my beer is good BS.

Liar. Obviously your not German enough. Bitburger's f'ing fine! I'm more of a Stuttgarter hofbrau man myself but then neither of those are 30 odd ct. No for cheap German drinking pleasure Ratskrone is where it's at :p

No, you don't!

yes I do I am completely inverting from a night schedule to a day schedule. In one 24 hour period.


That's just wrong! Who the hell drinks Bud, let alone Bud light?!?

its actually the beer of parties because its cheap 6.99 for a 20 pack and the wateriness makes it easy to chug there by side stepping the taste issue.

Yuck!

and have you tried it??

If you really want to rethink Budweiser, make the original Czech Budvar Budweiser!

Had it, not that impressed. yeah better then bud light.

It can't really be.

well you haven't tried it. mind you this is Budweiser ala the Belgians who bought the company last year it does have a Belgian tasting ale thing about it. a tad bit thin for my book but if i am at a bar or a restaurant and they only have domestic macro brew available this beer is a good candidate to drink.
.
How much of that "surprisingly good ale" have you had to come up with stuff like that?

only about 8. but if InBev can improve bud that much imagine if they get the same results on the banking system.

I did not say all Germany beer was bad. lots of good stuff.

Just Bitburger is watery Diarrhea in a bottle. The worst American beer gets is piss in a can.

I say invest in beer. Money is just money - beer is beer. Can one make an argument more clear.

I say invest in beer. Money is just money - beer is beer. Can one make an argument more clear.

then the company in invest in offers to give me dividends in beer and i accept. then i am broke and drunk.

Yeah sorry to call you a liar. I was raised on Molson Aanadian horse piss and Luckys and any german beer compares favorably to that! In anycase you shouldn't diss beer from your fatherland ... Beer, Sausage and Chocolate - way better than North America.

yes I do I am completely inverting from a night schedule to a day schedule. In one 24 hour period.
Drinking ain't the only way is all I'll say to that.
and have you tried it??
Sadly enough, yes, I have.

Any beer that adds rice to their ingredients... *shudders*

I'm usually fond of what micro breweries come up with.
only about 8. but if InBev can improve bud that much imagine if they get the same results on the banking system.
I doubt it! ;)

You can get beer for 29p a bottle? :eek:

Aww :(

And tonight you can get beer for £1 a bottle, so don't complain :tongue:

well I need to sleep as i start class tomorrow and i had completely inverted my sleeping schedule. Need alcohol to sleep. In the fridge all I have bud light i use for parties.

For that, Bud would do - although if you need to get drunk, why use beer?

And tonight you can get beer for £1 a bottle, so don't complain :tongue:
At the Haworth? Aye I might be off.

I say invest in beer. Money is just money - beer is beer. Can one make an argument more clear.

If one spent $1000 on beer and recycled the cans one would have lost less over all than if one had bough $1000 of shares in.....some company, I forget. Point is beer>stocks, shares and other confusing things like that.

Besides nothing like *having it all* and then loosing it all!

Ha, Americans attempting to discuss beer. I like it.

Seriously, I tried Budweiser once, it was pretty appalling.

Aren't you Australian?

Touché.

Yeah. Australia has great beer.

Not as good as European, though.

Sure it does. The world just can't get enough of Fosters.

We did pretty much invent good beer :)

Sure it does. The world just can't get enough of Fosters.

Hahaha. Nobody in Australia actually drinks that rubbish. Seriously, you actually have to go out of your way to get it if you want it.

At the Haworth? Aye I might be off.

Why would you go to the Hayworth? Piper, I'm sure.

The Chinese will beg to differ. and there is 1.4 billion of them, they are not wrong.

No, you don't!


If you really want to rethink Budweiser, make the original Czech Budvar Budweiser!



thats not the original bud either.

The original one was founded in 1795 by Germans named Budweiser Bier Bürgerbräu. With the collapse of the holy Roman empire that brewery had ceased to function by 1850.

The American brewery was founded 1876, by a German immigrant. The current Czech Brewery was founded 1895 and named Budějovický Budvar. That's why the name law suit issues didn't take place until after GATT was signed, and didn't take place based on who came first but on name of the region grounds (sort of like Champagne). What makes the matter silly is the city is no longer named Budweis its called České Budějovice and has been since 1920.

The Chinese will beg to differ. and there is 1.4 billion of them, they are not wrong.

If Tsingtao (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsingtao_Brewery) is anything to judge their beer on, they are wrong.

Hahaha. Nobody in Australia actually drinks that rubbish. Seriously, you actually have to go out of your way to get it if you want it.

Australia has no good beer anyway, Fosters or otherwise.

If Tsingtao (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsingtao_Brewery) is anything to judge their beer on, they are wrong.

NO Tsingtao is what happens when European imperialist force Chinese to brew beer their style.

Lol, wrong.

It was a proper German style beer until the Chinese took over the brewery.

Bud Light... the 9mm of beers...

Enlighten me - what's the alcoholic equivalent to:

.45 ACP
.45 Colt
.357 mag
5.56mm NATO
7.62mm NATO
and .50 BMG?

This is a lie.


In fact, unless your parents are related, you are missing teeth, or your house has wheels, you should not be drinking PBR. Ever.How can you not like a beer that brags about an award it won back in the 19th century? It was America's Best in 1893, surely that hasn't changed right?

Enlighten me - what's the alcoholic equivalent to:

.45 ACP
.45 Colt
.357 mag
5.56mm NATO
7.62mm NATO
and .50 BMG?Samichlaus would probably be the .50 of beers.

Hahaha. Nobody in Australia actually drinks that rubbish. Seriously, you actually have to go out of your way to get it if you want it.

Here in Italy there's a commercial of Peroni Nastro Azzurro showing Australians actually drinking it (and enjoying it :eek: )

Are Australians just good actors, or do you actually drink Nastro Azzurro? ;)

As for me, whenever I want good beer, I take a Menabrea or a Forst, or go to ČR.

.45 ACP

As for beers,

Starobrno Drak is the .45 Colt
Menabrea is the 5.56mm
Pilsner Urquell is the 7.62
Malzmühle Kölsch is the .357

It's not very common, but you could probably get it if you wanted it.

I'm not wanting it, never! No, well, let's not be extreme: I could consider drinking Peroni if the other choice would be an even more painful death.

Either way, it's not a common beer. You won't find it in pubs, bars or regular shops.

I have seen it in the UK, usually in chain 'Italian' restaurants and spectacularly over-priced. Never tried it myself.

Don't. Ever. Trust me. I warned you. Peroni Nastro Azzurro is piss, and Peroni Nastro Azzurro Light is piss with some water added.

It was a proper German style beer until the Chinese took over the brewery.

well technically the Japanese took it over first. seems they ran you out of china while you were busy kicking the snot out of France and Russia.
but even so they only follow the instructions you Germans left for them. Given if their German is as bad as their Engrish I am surprised they haven't added gun powder to the ingredients.

Its all piss in a jar/can that has been chilled to near freezing temperatures. Please don't delude yourselves into thinking otherwise!

The only beer I have has the word ROOT in front of it.

Ha, Americans attempting to discuss beer. I like it.

Seriously, I tried Budweiser once, it was pretty appalling.
A) I can discuss beer better than most Europeans.
B) This thread isn't about Budweiser, but Budweiser American Ale. Two distinct beers.
Like what? All the ones I have had have been awful horse piss lagers.
And generally based off American style lagers. Ripping off a shitty style, and not doing it well.

Regardless of why it's piss, it's piss.

Currently living in America, the beers I most frequently drink at the moment are probably

1. Dogfish Head
2. Delirium Tremens
3. La Fin du Monde
4. Pacifico (delicious for Micheladas)
5. Guinness

3. La Fin du Monde

I haven't had that in quite a while. The only places I've seen it for sale are in Ann Arbor, Michigan and Angers, France.

If not more in Boston...Allston is one of the top beer-drinking neighborhoods in the US. The place I worked at had 112 taps, 450 bottles.

I've found it in Moscow also, but I doubt that's any help to pretty much anyone here.

The party stores (the local term for "liquor store") where I live mainly stock macrobrewed crap and local microbrews, not leaving much room for anything else. Of course, in a town of 35,000 one shouldn't expect more than that.

do you actually drink Nastro Azzurro? ;)
Aye it's good lager.

Being in Boston helps. Being a former employee of the largest beer selection in the city also doesn't hurt...haha

Like I said, I can ship you some ;)

Nah, I'm good. I'm still working my way through the new local brews that popped up while I was in Iraq. Also, if I really wanted it I'd drive down to Ann Arbor.
