I'd rather drink LCL Pils.

All those commercial beers are terrible.

Bud does decent marketing campaign I will give them that

It's lovely.

There was some video on YouTube recently of some English craft beer neckbeard blind tasting mass produced lager. Think Budweiser and Kronenberg finished bottom of the pile. Surprisingly, Heineken came out top.

King of piss.

The King of Beers?

More like the Prince Andrew of beers.

It's complete piss. A lot of pubs don't appear to stock it anymore

It tastes 'better' since they moved brewing to the UK from Ireland, think Diageo lost ownership of the brand in Ireland a year or 2 ago. Picked some up for €15 for 24x500ml in the week leading up to MUP.

Jaysus that takes me back, do they still sell it now? 5% I believe it was, so strong enough for the cheap price.

Must have been why they came out with that Rockshore urine then.

Budweiser was always conclusive proof that advertising works.

Cheaply made (uses rice in lieu of some grain) but not cheaply sold, generally served so cold you can't taste anything. There's worse product out there but really not much

They say that smells can sometimes trigger memories,

for me, the smell of a crisp pint of bud, transports me back to the summer of the late 90's, working in an outdoor bar of the locals beer garden at the weekends to have a few quid for college, and great memories of being broke to the ropes, relishing the few free pints after a hard night on your feet.

Budweiser was king of beers to people who thought Burger King was king of burgers.

It used to be in nearly every pub in the country, with the odd person drinking i, usually because their stomach was ruined from drinking bulmers 5 nights a week. Now you rarely see it anywhere, guessing its due to the diageo/heineken stranglehold on most places.

it was discontinued a couple of years ago but it must be more than 30 years since I drank it.

Budweiser is a reasonably nice Beer to most. The cool Hipster drinking craft beer boys will have you believe it's beneath them.

It's funny, because out of my circle of friends in the mid 90s/ early 2000s, there was only one person who drank Bud. I always used to wonder why on earth it was so ubiquitous and heavily advertised when no-one drank it.

And just before anyone thinks I'm claiming me and my friends were some kind of beverage connoisseurs, we drank any old shite. Linden Village, Genuine Hornet Scrumpy, something called Sphinx lager, which you could only buy in tiny glass bottles from dodgy blokes in festival campsites at 3 in the morning. "A pound each, or 4 for a fiver." Literally anything. Except Bud.

I know a man who accidentally got locked into a store room full of Budweiser. He had to drink his own p1ss to survive. 😁

It's the Royal Family of beers.

Heineken is lovely to be fair. Bud is awful. Craft beers are to hit and miss.

Rice is used for coloring purposes.

THE_SHEEP

Ah Bud , didn't rip the stomach off you like Harp or Carlsberg , but used to give me some terrible hangovers ( yes , worse than " half ones " and / or Firstenberg ) .

Mid to early 90s I recall everyone drinking it , including some Guinness drinkers come the summer .

That may be the official line, but other lagers of similar volume - but made entirely from grain - don't have any issues with colour.

It makes it cheaper to make. Maybe they didn't pick it for that reason, but it still results in a cheaply made product.
