Is Budweiser still the king?
Rice is used as a fermentable to create alcohol.
No colder than any other lager
It’s bland rather than bad tasting. I’d still go for it rather than Heineken which I find tastes unpleasant.
Tbh I always thought it was the poorer of all the widely available beers. Very gassy and totally bland.
I more or less will drink any old shyte when it comes to beers, I used to drink craft stuff for a while, but there's an awful lot of juju about that and quite a lot don't even taste that good, so I don't really bother with them any more - but, nah, Budweiser is still the worst of the widely available out there IMO.
I had the "pleasure" of drinking a can of Heineken recently at a BBQ. My god it's overly sweet piss these days. I never used to mind it but it's absolutely awful now, the can of cheap Aldi stuff I had after it was vastly superior.
Never liked it.. always a very artificial and bland chemical flavour with no body or kick to its flavour either …a slightly greasy texture…
id class it with Miller and Coors as some of the poorer quality beers….that’s just to my palate anyway.
Becks, Peroni, Kronenberg 1664, Heineken, Carlsberg, Stella, Birra Moretti are far superior tasting.
Budweiser isn’t the king, it’s not even a one legged dwarf of beers.
Pißwasser
In that it parasites the poor and uneducated while facilitating seedy behavior.
OP here. If I was to drink it would only be Budweiser. Now I haven't had a drink in ten years, but it would still be my choice
Nectar of the nitwit.
Sounds like a fantastic reason not to drink.
I used to love Moretti (which is owned by Heineken) but it’s brewed in Scotland. Similar with Corona, it used to be brewed solely in Mexico but now brewed in the UK under AB InBev (who own Budweiser). Probably all psychological but I prefer authentic beers from their country of origin. Guinness when abroad never tastes the same…
Pisswater.King in the US and it's dominions and among poseurs haha
Guinness - in basically every country that you are likely to go to - is brewed in Dublin.
Well it’s brewed in 49 different countries, but yeah Dublin supplies the world 😂😂
Definitely. If you mean the czech one.
About 45 of those are in Africa, and are making a product using an extract added to a local beer. Diageo only brew Guinness themselves in a handful of places, against mostly in Africa.
Nearly anywhere at all that you're likely to have been, that has Guinness draught on tap, is using kegs from James Gate. The only sizeable brewery outside Dublin was London - and its now apartments.
James Gate is one of the largest breweries in the world.
"Get up stand up, stand up for your rice".
I heard years ago , in a bind test you couldn't tell the difference in beers. Even guinness, ( minus the head) .
Probably an urban myth
If it is cold and and in a nice clean glass it can be refreshing enough on a hot day.
Ice Cold in Alex ....kinda gear.
I nailed a gallon during the heatwave, it touched the spot in fairness.
Cartoon many years ago in The Phoenix
Horse drinking Guinness, horse pissing into a Budweiser glass.
But on a hot day, a cold bud is not the worst quencher.
In the film "Ice cold in Alex" it's a Carlsberg that drank at the end of the film.
The hangover was horrendous from it, I couldn't handle it at all
Was that not just in the TV ads?
I never knew they had Carlsberg for sale in Northern Egypt during WW2?
It's a British Film, I bet you a fiver its' either Tennants or Carling?
It was Carlsberg. Had to be something plausible for export and also Not German. The ads used part coloured film clips and two quotes as long standing mottos ('worth waiting for' and the Probably one)
Lager wasn't yet particularly popular in the UK by the war, and Carling is Canadian anyway
In reality I doubt you could get it during the war. The movie wasn't made contemporaneously!
Was out in Dublin recently and were in 3 different pubs within the city that don't stock it.
Since it changed Irish licensor to C&C, loads of places have dropped it. Diageo had (and used) a lot more influence and effort to keep it on tap lineups.
I remember loads of people drinking Bud out of bottles when that really annoying WHAAAZZZZUUUUUPPPP ad was popular about 20 years ago. It's nuts how advertising works, isn't it? Like back then I remember you'd see a table of young lads (early 20s) and most of them would be drinking Bud bottles.
Imagine seeing that now.
14th according to this list in 2021
I think heineken, becks and carlsberg to be horrendous. Hyper bland mass produced generic beer that's served everywhere as a default.
