You are not worthy!

Not sure why so many big microbreweries are continuing to bottle their beverages, but glad that I've seen some good ones coming out in cans...

Don't wanna take glass to the beach, lake, pool, etc. Even if it isn't against the rules for that particular area, it is rude and inconsiderate.

Wow, they are all piss beers...

I'm surprised though that they have lost so much market, I know a lot of college students who drink Bud like it is the nectar of the gods... though it is probably because they cannot afford a decent beer.

People stopped drinking these beers when they discovered they had taste buds-self included.

My all time fave was a mild brewed by Bank's brewery in the UK. It had the tag line on the label "Unspoilt by Progress"

I haven't bought any of those types of beer for over 20 years (before I found real beer and not flavored water). The only time I would drink any of these was after a softball game and that's what the designated player brought for the aftergame party. I figure if I am only going to drink one or two bears, I should buy something with real taste. Yuengling's Black and Tan is a nice start!

What you all should do is find a bunch of friends....Send someone out that has knowledge of obscure/micro brews or imports. Buy a case of each one and split the bottles (and the costs) equally so you have a nice case or so different beers to try. Do that every so often and see what is really out there. You just might find a new favorite beer.

I have fond memories of my grandfather drinking PBR.

When I was a kid, literally, Michelob was considered the expensive/good beer. Now I've found rye.

You're right - they are shitty beers.;-)

I'm drinking a Spaten right now. Just for a change in pace. Earlier it was Shipyard IPA. All good. Why drink Bud?

Yeah, corporate America still wants you to believe it's cool to drink swill. Once you start buying into the Redneck Kool-Aid plan the rest of the indoctrination is so much easier...

How about calling it "8 beers Lazloman never drank", instead? Ok, once or twice I bought Michelob, but that was back in college when it was still cool and I was probably drunk already, from a "quality" beer, like "Mickey's Fine Malt Liquor" or maybe T-Birds (my favorite bar in college) would have a special on a bucket of "Little Kings". Oh boy, those were heady days, man!

Anything mashed with lots of crystal malt and heavily hopped with Cascade or Hallertau. There are too many variants to name.

I've become too much of a craft brew snob.

Steinlager rules!

I will go out on a limb here, and say that I think Budweiser ( the central product ), is OK for a mild light beer. - Not really an "American" product anymore . . .

added this post to beer groups.

Yuengling! That and Wild blue.

Those WERE all shitty beers. Best I ever had was from a microbrewery on the Snake River run by al elderly Basque gentleman, aptly called " Snake River Beer ". Brewed in small numbered batches..delicious brew...went out of business when the brewer decided he had enough to last him a life time. Sad day.
